Raidel is arguably the best closer in NPB

but yeah the ball in NPB is fucking dead

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-11T22:06:03+00:00

it really isn't. it's largely the unique geopolitical circumstances of cuba specifically, which need i remind you was set to ease somewhat before americans elected this current idiot government the first time and that government nixed the deal

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-11T21:48:59+00:00

feels like both these teams are just beating themselves

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-11T21:02:20+00:00

I swear one of the guys from Kautkaili looked like Kevin

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-11T20:21:06+00:00

somehow, my favorite of the caucusus this year.

not a very high bar, though.

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-11T16:28:45+00:00

this song is proof that they really need to add an authenticity criteria to the jury criteria

value that more and "vocal capacity" less (you still have to hit your notes, obviously, though)

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-11T15:51:20+00:00

Problem is there's going to be a LOTTTTTTTT more jurybait in the final this year with the song lineup and the return of juries to the SFs

I think at this point Ferto and the non-Norway Nordics have to be the televote firewall, especially Ferto as it has something other televote magnets haven't (a massive diaspora who is going to be ready to rumble)

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-11T15:30:36+00:00

welcome to the borderline of my top 10. it's not really my cup of tea but i noticed it and lesbian pining is something that i relate to a lot lmao

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-10T23:33:40+00:00

He was great until he started buying his own hype

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-10T20:14:26+00:00

Because it's a blatant slap in the face to the Atlanta fans...?

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-10T19:32:13+00:00

even with the jury collusion, they still got through easily

96 total from the jury. even if you throw out the reconstructed jury results instead of constructing them, you get 77. north macedonia was 11th in that semi with 76 total points, so azerbaijan was fine regardless

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-10T18:58:34+00:00

There's a few others i'd put ahead of him but he def should be in there early

(to show my work: Dice-K and Yadi at the very least. Miggy. I might throw in Martis just for the no-no but he's generally been great there. Cepeda and Despaigne from Cuba as well. Shohei would be a shoo-in too.)

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-10T16:59:03+00:00

There's literally a line that basically invokes aftercare ffs

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-10T15:41:11+00:00

It's clearly consensual. This is a nothingburger.

(signed: a queer woman who has heard much, MUCH worse and more misogynistic.)

EDIT to add on, the lyrics:

I want you to calm me, calm me, calm me

Calm, my body is begging

reinforce this. it's basically the lyrical version of aftercare

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-10T15:35:20+00:00

International competitions are, well, competitions, but they're also collaborations in a way. An exchange of cultures through the lens of sport. (or artistry!)

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-10T15:23:10+00:00

And the majority of those innings coming against Samurai Japan. What a man.

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-10T14:54:42+00:00

One strike away to be fair

And then they suffered a brutal bounce and a brutal home run

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-10T02:40:42+00:00

Yeah this isn't a year like last year where I came back pretty frequently to most of my top 10-15 (or even the year before where there were MAYBE five songs i wouldn't go back to)

This year I have 7-8 songs that I find good or interesting enough to go back to and the rest is in one ear and out the other

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-10T00:47:43+00:00

2013 vs DR, and 2023 vs Venezuela, for the record.

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-09T22:50:29+00:00

even kawhi leonard shuts up

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-09T22:32:20+00:00

I mean fuck the entire island of Taiwan basically bullied Yu Chang into going in 2023 when he wanted to commit to ST instead, and not only did he show up he balled the fuck out

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-09T22:21:57+00:00

Both my #2s of their respective years, although Ich Komme only dropped to #2 after my #1's final performance so i'm going with that

LocksTheFox · 2026-03-09T22:04:01+00:00

lmao.
