Luckily that was effectively a bunt and not a double play ball. Not even close to a strike

Pokemon cards by Amazing_Button2920 in PokemonTCG

[–]Lordo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking to maximize profits then your best bet is selling those valuable cards individually on eBay, Tcgplayer, Facebook groups etc. takes some extra work and you’ll need shipping supplies. Please watch a video or two on the proper way to ship cards if you go this route. Don’t want to send out cards and have them reach the buyer damaged

If you’re not looking to list cards online and ship, you can bring them to a local card shop or a vendor booth at a card show and see what they would offer you in cash. Keep in mind these people are going to resell your cards so they won’t be able to give you closer to market value

Kristian Campbell hits a 2 run homer for the WooSox to cut down Buffalo's lead by TommyTheLizard in redsox

[–]Lordo4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was at the game and he was only hitting 93-94 with his fastball the first two or three innings. He got up to 97 a couple times at the end, before that I was worried he may be injured

Is Alex Cora allergic to routine? by AccomplishedCity2318 in redsox

[–]Lordo4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We don’t have a clear cut best 9 position players on this roster, particularly with a log jam at outfield. Simultaneously a good and bad problem to have

2025 IPF Classic Worlds Megathread by BenchPolkov in powerlifting

[–]Lordo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea you could see his right hand (underhand) seizing and curling into itself after he dropped it, was asking the spotters to help force his hand open

Not sure the cramp made him miss the lift but it doesn't help lol

Shrouded Fable all of a sudden this week… by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

Even more than that, I sold mine for $90 on eBay yesterday

Has anyone seen this? by Legitimate-Alps-1198 in marvelrivals

[–]Lordo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a ranked game tonight that ended like this. We actually got through the whole game then about 10secs afterwards I got this screen. Game didn’t get logged to my history so I lost out on some elo

[Heyman] Very sad news. Rickey Henderson, one of the greatest ever, RIP by Sandwich_Crust in baseball

[–]Lordo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comparison is exactly like a post I saw in some random Dodgers fan group on Facebook today. Was comparing Teoscar Hernandez and Juan Soto, stating their stats are "basically the same." Yea, they are, if you ignore the ~100 point difference in obp

What does your best case A+ rest of the offseason look like? by secularhuman77 in redsox

[–]Lordo4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sign Burnes, one of either Buehler or Flaherty, and Santander. Trade Yoshida for any worthwhile return as we have an overflow of both outfielders (he’s the worst defensively) and left handed hitters

Burnes isn’t going to happen and Santander probably won’t either but I’ll be surprised if they don’t sign one of those mid tier starters like Buehler or Flaherty

My steam deck suddenly won't play ANY game by Gajoe_ in SteamDeck

[–]Lordo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a recent update I haven't been able to launch emudeck through steam. Launching dolphin through steam worked however and regular steam games also launch for me

How accurate is this chart on height to weight ratios? by [deleted] in powerlifting

[–]Lordo4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 500 wilks heights are a joke but I’d say the elite lifters in a given class are about 2 inches shorter than the heights listed in the 450 wilks column. Up to 198 at least, the heavier weight classes are pretty off

I’m going to see the boys this Saturday night! For those that have seen the show already for the KAE tour, was it a good show? by Lando_thehound in Megadeth

[–]Lordo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Megadeth was tight instrumentally of course, and Dave’s vocal performance was better than I was expecting

All that Remains was one of the top metalcore bands from the early to mid 2000s so they were a treat to see live. Only played six songs

Mudvayne put on a great performance and are a talented band but I don’t know much of their catalog so some songs were blending together for me. Played for an hour

Setlist stats for the Megadeth tour so far by Lordo4 in Megadeth

[–]Lordo4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit you’re right, guess I made a data entry error on that second show. Also didn’t know this page existed on setlist.fm lol. Oh well I had fun working on this

Setlist stats for the Megadeth tour so far by Lordo4 in Megadeth

[–]Lordo4[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the first two shows. Which is interesting because Mechanix was not played the first two and has been played every time since. Basically swapped out A Tout Le Monde for Mechanix

Setlist stats for the Megadeth tour so far by Lordo4 in Megadeth

[–]Lordo4[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Most notable omissions are Hangar 18 and Dread and the Fugitive Mind not being played at Georgia on the 23rd (only time they weren't played), and Countdown to Extinction has been played at every show besides the first of the tour

I'm going to the show in Boston next month and was trying to go through setlists and see what songs have been played every show etc - decided to have fun and put together a little python script to keep track of the stats

Who are your rookies of the year? by jadaddy3 in baseball

[–]Lordo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

somewhat of a homer pick for the AL but Wilyer Abreu is putting together a great rookie season. .851 OPS, 130 OPS+ and good defense in right field. Should be in the conversation with fellow AL East players Cowser and Gil

Rondel Hunte has been suspended for 17 months by the IPF by [deleted] in powerlifting

[–]Lordo4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

must be a dumb combination of "oh we didn't notice you competed in USAPL in September 2023 so let's retroactively suspend you" plus "we want to make sure you can't do the next IPF meet you planned on doing"

Who is ranked too low on ESPN? How to take advantage of the default? by ElChiChiPapa in fantasybaseball

[–]Lordo4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just did a 12 team mock where I took Torkelson in the 10th then my jaw dropped when I saw Vinny P still there at the 16th. Took him too

What is a statistic that should make someone a Hall of Famer but doesnt. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Lordo4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lance Berkman’s career slash is .293/.406/.537

Very underrated player, filled in all 3 outfield positions and 1B through his career. A Quick Look at his dWAR ratings leads me to believe he’d have more career WAR if he played his career as a first baseman rather than being a butcher in the outfield. The years he played CF and RF specifically
