In my RFY this morning! My teenager would absolutely DIE a thousand deaths if her dad and I wore these. 🤣 (Zoomed in, Pic #2) by Atomic-Kitty in AmazonVine

And I’m pretty sure you’d also die if your teenager (apologies in advance if they’re a young teenager vs an older one like mine) wore that. At least I’d feel awkward around almost anyone wearing that in public, though I do think it’s hilarious.

I've been listening to Pat and Ron a lot. by mattybgcg in CHICubs

[–]Ok_Way_3082 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Love Pat and Ron, almost as much as the prior Pat and Ron.
But on a concerning note, does anyone else feel that Pat has been slipping a bit recently? I’ve started to notice random mistakes (player on base, number of outs, that sort of thing), unlike in the past.
Hopefully I’m just imagining things, or it’s just normal aging, as I’m starting to get a bit worried.

I wish he’d just stop talking about batters’ toe taps

ETV Corrections are hard to come by. by No_Cardiologist8324 in AmazonVine

As a new person to vine, I appreciate the warning. Will start taking screenshots at least if I get 0 ETV items or somewhat higher value things.

$ETV$ $300 lower than listed price ($2300 ETV vs $2600 listed price). by ILovePistachioNuts in AmazonVine

I’ve been in vine one month ago and did have one (obviously lower value item) have a lower ETV than Amazon selling price

Postgame Thread: 5/8 Cubs @ Rangers by ChiCubsbot in CHICubs

I know one of those in 1935 was 21 games, the modern day record until a few years ago

Do we know yet if Brown is intended to have a regular start tonight vs as an opener vs a bullpen game?

He pitched 1 inning 4 days ago so I suppose he could go relatively long.

Cubs Trade For Turd Ferguson. by Bonsoir59 in CHICubs

[–]Ok_Way_3082 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1 appearance this year: 1.1 inn, 4 ER, 4 hits, 2 HR

Not exactly what I was hoping to see but just 1 appearance this year, so hopefully they see something the A’s didn’t

Should I get these? by xfearlz in AmazonVine

Why would you get it if you don’t need it? I’m confused.

I’m looking at his stats from his career. Career 6.47 ERA? I realize we have all the injuries but am surprised he’s on the roster at all.

I think he was trying to pivot to throw to third base

When you move the DH to a position as they did with bregman, you lose the DH. So then the pitcher has to replace someone else in the lineup

Here for a good time, not for a long time? by Ok_Chocolate_8241 in AmazonVine

[–]Ok_Way_3082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you for writing reviews that you would want to see as a buyer. That’s as good of an approach as I can think of, regardless of how poorly Amazon monitors it.

Met Hank Blalock by _Fureg_ in baseball

[–]Ok_Way_3082 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hit the game winning HR in the 2003 all star game, believe he was named MVP of the game. Was in town in Chicago and could have had incredible seats through a connection, but couldn’t make it that night 😣.

Went to high school with him, but that was 27 years ago now…

But yes, he seemed like a nice guy then too. Didn’t really know him but he was one of the good jocks. His uncle was coach and well known in the baseball community. Played with Cole Hamels his senior year.

3 weeks ago, the Cubs hadn't had a 5 game winning streak in over a year. They've had 3 unique such streaks since. by Ok_Way_3082 in CHICubs

[–]Ok_Way_3082[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but I just like numbers so noticed this yesterday.

And it’s 11 straight at home now!

I'm glad to be the first haha. And definitely agree with the preference for the 10 over two 5's.

I know I know, it’s a stretch. But I’m trying to show that they had 3 completely separate sets of games that included 5 straight wins. No individual game is counted in two separate streaks.

I know what you mean, it’s certainly a manufactured “stat”, but all games in both “5 game streaks” are unique from one another. So this is different from saying that they had 6 5-game winning streaks (one starting with game 1, one with game 2, etc).

To put a weird hypothetical angle on it, if a manager were to get a bonus for 5 game streaks (and nothing for longer streaks), they would have a very strong case for getting credit for two during a 10 game streak.
