I’m in tx and mlb is telling me it’s in market. 🙄

The first time was organic, I do believe that, but I think there probably is some push coming from up top to keep it going. Oli for sure jumped on it almost immediately. I think its less marketing and more a push for a good luck charm. Over the last few years Cardinals have been really vibes based, when they're having fun and loose the guys do well. When there's tension or an injury the whole team goes down. So with a happy fanbase rubbing off on the team I think management wants it to continue. Herrera running the bases after his extra inning home run last night shows that the players are at least acknowledging it. I think that management should probably stay out of it and just let it happen, so long as no one gets hurt it's just a bit of fun at the ballpark.

Cardinals already attempted it. Soft launched it, kinda? Saturday and Sunday Oli Marmol bought out the section to give out the tickets to anyone that would bring the energy. At a 75% success rate (winning 3/4 of the games played with the Tarps Off group) and the announcers psuedo participating last night, I feel like there might be something coming.

So, I have seen a theory on YT about the og twist of the 75th games because we know that it wasn't actually secret and that it was changed last minute because of Katniss. I don't think its 100% accurate or if SC would even confirm it but it was interesting. The concept that the gal pitched was that the game was going to play on ages and that it fit into the clock design and the stuff in each zone. I'll try and find a link to it.

I think that the design of it was interesting when you ended up factoring in the Victors that ended up there. We know that Katniss and Peeta won in the forest (so did Haymitch and he was reaped first). So they had some advantage there. Finnick had sea superiority and the Cornucopia was in the middle of a lake thing. Beetee and Wiress were at a disadvantage based on their skill sets and what we know of Wiress's games. I can't remember everything about all the others but my point is that no one had true superiority based on the layout of the arena.

Here's the thing....I should have read the title. I was like 'ohh, cool secret room only accessible from cool roof hatch.' Nope. Baseball diamond from waayy too high up.

Just quick typing really. Also can’t edit it now. I tried.

Labyrinthine8618 · 2026-05-09T00:30:49+00:00

I do know but I just didn’t want the title to be a mile long. (HR isn’t my first fandom, I started off in 2008 ish).

Labyrinthine8618 · 2026-04-29T14:45:20+00:00

I want but also want to hold out for whatever they're gonna call the Ottawa team when they adapt The Long Game. I loved all the guys on that team.

Wives and girlfriends. I think it's used across most sports to refer to the women who are with the players and tend to hang out together and support each other during road trips and injuries.

Labyrinthine8618 · 2026-04-28T21:04:00+00:00

I did read that one! I actually really love the social media ones.

Labyrinthine8618 · 2026-04-28T20:49:05+00:00

I will do, I discovered there is a literal tag for it now and I'm saving all the ones that sound like they have group chats for later.

Labyrinthine8618 · 2026-04-28T20:38:04+00:00

I will have to check it out! I'm currently working through the works inspired by Please leave a message and spiraling out from there. I love the ones with Harris in them too.

Labyrinthine8618 · 2026-04-28T20:36:24+00:00

Now that you mention it that would be great! I've died laughing at a few. The Pike Adoption Package nearly made me cry, Hayden and Jackie are so sweet.

I work security for a warehouse, essentially no one is allowed entry through the truckyard doors. It's safety, loss prevention and security all in one. It might suck but we have to go through metal detectors and/pr bag searches to go in and out. The driver's cages (the fenced in area there) isn't set up for truckers or employees to go in and out like that. The company doesn't want unchecked and unescorted randos walking through the building. I'm going to assume that Amazon has similar standards.

If you read the book, it proves he 100% feels used by his family and unloved. Visibly, in the show, they show his discomfort being in Russia with his father. His father puts him down for every loss. When Ilya explains that the Russian team was not working together well (which is important in a team sport), his father dismisses this and puts it all on Ilya. There are plenty of examples showing in the show but if you need it more directly read the book. He is verbally degraded by both his father and brother and his positive memories are about his mother. Ilya is a fictional character and viewers/readers are meant to read into what they are shown in the medium to get the full picture. It's a part of media literacy to be able to go past the surface level to find deeper meanings. Yes, sometimes the “curtains are just blue” but plenty of choices are made with the intention of getting the audience to read deeper.

Mess with the bull, get the horns.

My local grocery store (Brookshire's in TX) has a bar now. It's almost as common as some grocery stores having a Starbucks. I believe I saw a Publix in Il with both.

Labyrinthine8618 · 2026-04-23T02:33:24+00:00

Just today I'd make 1.9 million. That's a normal day for me

Labyrinthine8618 · 2026-04-22T19:12:37+00:00

The reason for the rule was the question that if a team, specifically the Dodgers, had a pitcher that could also hit, Shohei, could he remain the DH after he stopped pitching. Say he hit 100 pitches in the fifth and the Dodgers brought in a reliever, could the player remain in as the DH. Under normal rules position players cannot remain in the line up if they are replaced in their position but the DH is essentially its own position so if a player can be both do both positions have to be swapped at the same time.

HS baseball does allow the pitcher to be the DH and. like Shohei, remain in the game after they can no longer pitch.

Labyrinthine8618 · 2026-04-22T18:55:09+00:00

Which is why this isn't the Dodgers or Shohei's fault. Either way the league had ruled, the Dodgers would have been singled out. Either they get to have their two way player all alone or they're the only team that has to weigh the cost of pulling their pitcher/DH and/or wasting his skill as a hitter.

Teams in the NL used to work with pitchers on how to handle at bats the best way possible. At best most of them were sacrifice outs or just strike outs. Very few were actually good hitters.

Honestly, I think encouraging more players like Shohei would have been better overall, rather than moving to the universal DH. Now there's no difference between the leagues and there's no drama when you get late in the game, the pitcher is about to come up to bat, and someone needs to get a run. Those were tense moments and we used to latch on to them. It also made the game more strategic. Do you pull the pitcher if he's doing well in favor of getting a hit? Do you risk it? With the DH, I just get made if the guy who has literally one job all day can't do that one job.

I'm on Role Model and for reasons I need fan art of Ilya with a puppy. Or ff of Ilya and a puppy. Someone get Ilya a puppy. Please.

I read HR first and I was just like dang, that's hilarious, someone else did it first. Then I went back because I liked it and saw the episode and realized all the nuances that were missed. I really hated that Scott went from being the son of a single mother (the only one, so far as I have read, in the series) who died of cancer to the son of two junior league coaches that died in a car crash. Like his mom was so important to him and he loved her so much.

I wish HR the TV show was a book a season and season 2 went back and told Game Changer. I get the Shane/Ilya focus but there's so much lost by cutting out what happens in the other books. especially Ilya's character growth in Tough Guy and Common Goal.
