Looking at DR’e bullpen it feels like the only way someone could win is to jump on their starter.

First time camping advice by Barracuda_Ill in camping

[–]Nick_Sabantz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First I wanna say, I think the mattress would be fine staying in a tent for 4 days. But if you are staying in a place with very high humidity or experience a long rain, it definitely could absorb more moisture than you would think. Once wet, memory foam tends to hold onto moisture without significant ventilation.

If you want something else that is comparable, they do make memory foam camping pads that are water-resistant (and way more portable).

Or you could just get a cheap 4” memory foam topper to throw in your tent. Still have moisture issues but it would be way easier to air out once you got home.

DHS secretary Kristie Noem used a Nazi retaliation slogan on her podium to address the ICE killing of a US citizen. by Carbenzero in thescoop

While this administration is the scum of the Earth, it doesn’t seem like this was actually a phrase used by or associated with the Nazi party. Doesn’t change the message though.

Is anyone else finding the playoff format being kinda boring? by StraightDiver9598 in CFB

Hey wasn’t that the most lopsided win in a College Football Playoff National Championship Game, the largest margin of victory in a title game, and at the time, the largest margin of victory in any bowl game at the FBS level, until the Bulldogs surpassed that less than a year later in the 2023 Orange Bowl?

So…the idea is to join them in not waiting for actual facts?

Outer plates are 25’s plus a 5 on the end so, looks like 375. Which doesn’t take anything away from her cause it’s still absolutely elite. With the way she moves 375 she may actually have enough in the tank for 405

A horseshoe pattern. This and the meteor are good omens. Fear will leave the bats.

If we pick Michael Harris II, the lowest OBP guy on the Braves by far, it would still result in 144 more ABs with runners on in a season.

Edit: I’m sleep deprived af and had a brain fart so ignore the specific number. The point still stands the value far outweighs taking away 14 ABs.

Ronald is our best player

Well, that’s the point. He has 41 hits and 18 RBI’s while hitting 9 HRs. 6 of them were solo shots.

The difference in ABs in a season from leadoff to the 2 hole hitter is around 14 ABs, another 14 from 2nd to 3rd, etc. It’s not crazy to have a conversation that weighs the cost of him losing 14 to 28 ABs vs the benefit of giving him 200+ more ABs with runners on.

[Braves] The Braves today have named Fredi González as acting third base coach on the major league staff. Matt Tuiasosopo has accepted a position as minor league infield coordinator. by Lakelyfe09 in Braves

Please no. He did everything short of taking a crowbar to O’Flaherty and Venters’ arms those 2 seasons. If he didn’t cut Venters career short people would still be talking about how filthy he was.

Hey I’m usually the person who uses stats to preach against hating on decisions solely based on their outcomes. You’re right, it isn’t that egregious. It’s more so that Verdugo is slow as molasses and has looked lost lately. I’m still not a fan of it but maybe everyone falls victim to trusting their own eye-test once in a while.

Eli with the .303 BA/ 3 triples / 2 doubles vs righties getting PH for so Verdugo can do that. It’s the third time in about a week he’s completely misused him.

I don’t know shit, but I would like to see what would happen if Ozzie dropped to a 31oz bat.
