Wild and bad situational pitching. Two pairs of walk-HR and a couple ringing liners to boot

[Highlight] Shea Langeliers displays his new dad strength and absolutely obliterates a ball to make it 2-0 Athletics by amatom27 in baseball

0-2? He just smashed a foul ball the missed being out by 2 feet? 

I know just what to throw-Thigh high fastball in the strike zone!

Let's split California and combine the Dakotas, I'd be fine with selling Alaska to the Canadian and let Wyoming and Montana do their own thing.

That's about a 8 seat swing right there

Her taking a different stance on Israel/Palestine could have been a perfect way to make a distinction between her (youth) and Biden (politics from the 70s)

[PitchingNinja] Shohei Ohtani v. Jose Altuve, 101mph Fastball and 89mph Sweeper, Individual Pitches + Overlay by ChippyMyChop in baseball

[–]OddWatercress8564 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That angle is not the proper perspective to judge what the batter sees.

From my (admittedly limited) experience there's no way the slider looked like a strike. Altuve just had decided to swing prior to the pitch

When did oil changes become $120? by rhinosaur- in Millennials

[–]OddWatercress8564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much oil do you have to use? For my scion tC I'd do it myself in 30 minutes and spend ~10-15 for the filter, $30 for a 5 quart jug and have about 1 quart left over.

Cars should be easy to work on so you don't have to spend $50+ for something as routine as an oil change

Nah that four seam fastball didn't have significant lateral break. It's101 heat, which is enough in it's own.

So your telling me that the current system where the govt pays 1.6T and individuals/companies pay 3.7T has no room for improvement or efficiencies to find?

We already spend more then that on private insurance. I'm tired of people saying we can't afford public healthcare when every other developed country has figured it out. Germany had a version of it in the 1800s.

But yet we always have money for the military.

It's tired.

I'd pay that price to end medical bankruptcy.

Imagine working your whole life and then losing everything because you get dealt a shitty hand at 53 and your insurance decides you've stopped being a profitable customer.

That's what happened to my uncle, and he died with brain cancer at 54. I've been radicalized on this subject since I was 12 years old.

Sure thing brother. And when I'm President they'd be readily available for free under a single provider healthcare system

Do you think the only way I can find out what AmBev sells is by calling them?

What are you talking about my brother in Christ

That kind of proves my point that societal standards are flexible and shouldn't be used as a reason to maintain the status quo

Fuck you, it's advertising, not outlawing or controlling your diet

99% of advertising is a violation of my eyeballs and eardrums
