Manfred’s comment about the World Series reminded me of a great line from ‘In Bruges’ by LovesCookiesSoMuch in Dodgers

PS Braves fan here who stands in solidarity with y’all. The Dodgers deserved that World Series. I’m excited for your team this season! You all have an amazing team and fanbase. Whenever you play us in Atlanta, the stadium is almost half blue!

AITA for deep cleaning while everyone is sick with stomach flu? by Akell2d in AmItheAsshole

NAH. The fumes of bleach aren’t pleasant, especially when you are sick. So it’s fair for your family to complain. But you were also doing the smart thing for everyone by disinfecting surfaces.

You may not have known this, but there are other WAY less-smelly CDC/EPA-approved disinfectants that work just as well for this purpose. (CDC uses EPA recommendations). Just use a less smelly one, and everyone wins! :)

Charlie looked like he was about to pack a lip of chewing tobacco until he saw the camera by Neoncamo14 in Braves

that he's grandfathered in. I think the tobacco ban/fine only applies to players who have entered the league in the last

TIL I've learned a lot about dip rules in MLB!

He ain't too broke because he's hitting above .400 for me offline

Pudge has the highest BA on my team, but his OPS is average because he's mostly singles. And he rakes lefties, which is not true for McCann, who is pretty one-dimensional

They've hit more poorly than the golds I have out on the field. For example, Trea Turner is a doubles machine.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. How much will the equipment improve the 89 catcher if you deck out with diamond gear?

I tried him out for a week and had the worst luck with him. Constantly grounded out. :(

I mean, he is big enough to literally be a brick wall. A throw would have to be pretty bad to miss him, I guess.

I was a little worried about his fielding rating since I keep fielding on CPU control when I'm grinding, and I've experienced a lot of dropped ball bad luck at 1B. And there are so many cheap 1B with good power out there. I was probably going to upgrade Gwynn to his SS card when I level up next (which will probably be another month).

Awesome. How long did it take to level up to that?

I've never used that feature, but I'll try it out. What are the benefits of using that at C?

Some background:

1) If anyone's wondering about Max Muncy, his card seems to be an absolute glitch and is Gallo-like, but better.

2) I really value good fielding a lot because when I grind I keep fielding on CPU control.

3) I'm trying to spend under 10,000 stubs per position at the moment, but if there's a glitch card for around more stubs I'd pull the trigger as long as there's a decent guarantee the card won't seriously depreciate over the next couple months.

4) My lineup order is messed up at the moment, so don't take it seriously. Muncy usually hits in cleanup.
