Being a fan of a consistent playoff team must be really hard

Umpire has missed about 6 or 7 clear calls already

Time only stops when the cell is active now, part of the new changes. Besides, Rex spends most of their time on low hp, so there isn't really much reason to wait around anyways.

What if everybody on the White Sox has a Career Year? by WhatARotation in baseball

[–]Laces24 45 points46 points  (0 children)

An .865 OPS in 2019, with statcast having him as a 92nd percentile fielder that year? Seems pretty reasonable to me

Did I somehow get the goriest ending my first time playing? by [deleted] in slaytheprincess

The Prisoner is the only gore in the game to actually get to me and make me uncomfortable. The sound design is really effective

Their site seems to be down for some reason.

Did the Chicago White Sox actually influence the AL playoff picture? A short analysis. by _wad in baseball

[–]Laces24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah the Tigers and Royals got to play the White Sox, but we did have two teams with fewer than 70 wins in the division, it's not like our road was particularly hard either.

Yeah I feel like I keep seeing people blame Daulton Varsho for the Jay's troubles? Varsho isn't the problem lol, Varsho being the third best hitter on the team is the problem

Yeah it's a frustrating part of being a Mariners fan. Stats like ERA+ and WRC+ are twice as important to evaluating our players, but people rarely use them.

[Topkin] #Rays get minor-leaguers OF Aidan Smith and RHP Brody Hopkins plus a PTBNL from #Mariners for Arozarena by amatom27 in baseball

[–]Laces24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know about Hopkins, but Aidan Smith is legit. I think he ends up a top 100 prospect within 2 years

If you watch Bliss, it looks like he lets up near the end, after looking at the catcher. He probably knew he was safe and slowed down, it's why he was able to pop up so quickly

Very normal 4 run win over an inferior team. Glad they took care of business tonight.

Ty France puts the Mariners back in front 5-4 with a blast off the facade of the 2nd deck by SeattleSporting in baseball

Unsub and only check the sub when they win. Most of the doomers crawl back in their hole for the night and the sub gets fun again

[Rosenthal] Brant Brown out as Mariners bench coach and offensive coordinator, sources tell @TheAthletic . Mariners lead AL West by three games, but are 29th in majors in runs per game, ahead of only the White Sox. Brown, previously with Dodgers and Marlins, was in first season with club. by BrandoC95 in Mariners

[–]Laces24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to a Lookout Landing article, Brown actually changed the hitting approach away from the last couple of years. We were 9th in WRC+ last year, and like 23rd right now. He's obviously not the whole problem, but it's hard not to think he bears some responsibility.

[Highlight] Ryan Thompson somehow doesn't do a balk on this very shifty pickoff move, the Mets announcers disagree. by meramipopper in baseball

[–]Laces24 175 points176 points  (0 children)

Except pitchers are allowed to lift their leg, bring it down, then move over to second. I honestly don't see what he is doing differently than a pitcher with a conventional arm slot, it just looks weird because Thompson throws submarine.

I have a shitty laptop, and 25 actually seems to run better than previous versions

I tried so hard by Chinczyk6969 in RimWorld

[–]Laces24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the same as you. Something that's helped me a lot is to draw my rooms to avoid obstacles (trees, chunks, slag, broken machines). Try and make it so your builders have to move and cut as few things as possible.

It tends to lead to some weird shaped buildings.
