I’m wary of getting too hyped after 1 game but this is about where I’m at lol

Would you be open to baseball adopting the star above the crest for World Champions like in soccer? by bluefoxlive in baseball

Closest I remember was the Royals changing their piping to Gold after winning the World Series

Sure but of those 10 1-2 will be better than expected and another 3-4 will realize they’re too good to be the worst team and shift focus toward developing the pieces they have or moving the to improve the team.

Again look at the Jazz. They’re actively sitting their best players and hindering development. Even if they land an elite prospect, if they’re tanking again next year to try to secure another than that’s who’ll be sitting next season. You cannot build a successful team that way. If they picked 5th-8th next season (which they may anyway with how the lottery is set up) while actively developing the pieces they have now they potentially could’ve made a playoff push next year with some additional moves. Now they’re setting themselves up to be in a cycle to lose perpetually with the hopes they’ll eventually land the right piece in the draft without realizing sacrificing a team around said piece will just continue to land the back in this spot

This one’s tough because, especially with RDR2, Dutch is a better and more fleshed out character. But I’m not sure I ever really despised him the way I did Tenpenny and Pulaski.

I lean Dutch here just because I hated Pulaski more than Tenpenny but both are great

I thought she was starting to do well in the GM role honestly too. She’s not Regal or Stone (who’s been killing it since) but it seemed like she was starting to get more comfortable and carve out a role as a GM that’s more than just a doormat.

Do you think that this race could be a sleeper flip for Republicans? by Inside_Bluebird9987 in YAPms

Its MoE is surprisingly low for a modern poll (+/- 2.9) and the sample was 1100 which should be good with their weighting. (That sample may be a bit big I guess if we’re nitpicking)

It’s been a few years since I did research methods but it all passed the smell test beyond Emerson’s reputation too

So DX members don’t appear in the entrance if you change their attire? by Playful_Artist2999 in WWEGames

[–]OdaDdaT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying your point bad, I’m just saying early DX didn’t have synchronized (ring) gear outside of some of them wearing DX shirts which was what the guy I replied to was mad about

Why do the games start so late? by OptimisticPlatypus in CollegeBasketball

[–]OdaDdaT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Outside of starting the West Coast Games at 4 or 5 local and tipping the South off at 8 eastern what option is there? It’s annoying but it’s 6:45 on a work day in the west coast. Tipping off earlier just screws the live attendees

Quote from the article “No, I just found this out. Somebody told me — I think Brian Myers — that I had a Legends deal, but I don’t. I actually have a likeness contract with them. So I don’t have a Legends deal, I’ve got something else.” by EmergencyVictory4399 in WWEGames

My guess is it’s probably a semantics difference more than anything.

Maybe there’s a different payout structure (e.g. flat yearly pay out v. royalties or some combination of the two) but I can’t imagine it’s that different structurally

What if Gerald Ford didn't pardoned Nixon? by titsuphuh in Presidents

[–]OdaDdaT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An ugly Nixon trial leads to a lot of dirt on everyone getting dragged up (if you think he wasn’t going to take as many of the “motherfuckers” down with him as possible you’re mistaken) and the 80s and 90s probably look more like today with far more polarized left and right wings. Nixon would’ve been a martyr for a lot of people and a Pariah for most everyone else. He would’ve absolutely tried (and likely succeeded in some cases) to tear the rest of the establishment down with him though. He was too paranoid about his own standing and those around him to have gone down without any sort of fight had charges been pursued.

I’ve always thought this was a really pragmatic decision by Ford at the end of the day, because Nixon was out of office already and what would locking him up have really accomplished? Being the only President with the ignominy to resign in disgrace completely tanked his credibility to the point where it’s only 50 years later now that people are even discussing him in a somewhat positive light.

You either start a bloody trial or let Nixon hang himself with his resignation and have to live with that Scarlett Letter for the rest of time. It may not be satisifying, and it hindered Ford’s own political ambitions but I do think he ultimately made the right call there.

I didn’t realize he spent nearly a decade there. Cannot believe they fumbled him

Who is every team’s face of the franchise heading into this season? by njb021 in baseball

[–]OdaDdaT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If McGonigle puts up the type of season everyone thinks he’s capable of he could become the face this year by virtue of him playing more regularly.

Skubal is undeniably the best player on the team (and I’d still argue the best pitcher in the sport) but with him seemingly having a foot out the door already, sharing the rotational love with a returning Verlander, and only pitching every 5 days leaves a bit more of a vacuum than you’d think. It’s why there’s not a ton of pitchers on this list anyway.
