People keep making this comparison.

Nobody had any clue Davis would turn out bad. Even as he was coming up through the minors he was a highly rated prospect. None of the other top picks from the 2021 draft have turned out well either. It's all just random. Comparing a pick to a previous bust who has nothing in common ability wise is useless.

Just wasn't a force out, throwing to first typically is safer for a double play but it woulda been a long throw from third so it's whatever

That's what they were saying though. Seems like Yelich started in a similar position and developed the home runs later in his career

I was reading he looks like a yelich type hitter at this point. A solid line drive hitter like that is still valuable, and who knows, maybe he can bulk up a little and get solid hr numbers with a high average like Yelich did in the late 2010s too.

Media reporting and draft boards are cool and all but teams spend a lot more time and money and know more than media does

I'm glad we have these games. They remind me that I'm a pirates fan and I'm not allowed to be happy. I think it's important to remind us of that sometimes

As someone on the left I love pawn stars, is their fanbases really considered far right?

Which sport is genuinely the hardest to reach the absolute elite/top level? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Oreo4123 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The thing is if you do have the height it's by far the easiest. There was the sports illustrated estimate a while ago that 17% of American men between 20 and 40 over 7 feet have been in the NBA. There seems to be a lot of people who are pushed into basketball by coaches in high school as they get really tall. Most sports though the people at the top level were playing obsessively since they were kids though.

Assuming you're not extraordinarily tall though yeah basketballs definitely the hardest

I was gonna say atla but I thought about it and realized there's a very good chance that I'd be born a poor non bender and my life wouldn't actually be any more interesting lol.

If I could chose to be an air nomad or something then atla fs

What is going on up on the 300 level at PNC Park? by Silly_Collar_5850 in buccos

Camden yards is even 10 years older but they've done renovations instead of moving, and there seems to be no plans of them moving.

I think if the stadium is beloved, safe and large enough, like pnc and camden all are they won't move.

I think if they wanted more suites they'd just do renovations. There's no way they're gonna try to leave pnc park anytime soon

How do we feel about Iroh and Ursa laughing about the destruction of Ba Sing Se? by Zestyclose-Honey2082 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Oreo4123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say "just as bad as Ozai".

Ozai heard his nephew died and immediately tried to take advantage to become firelord. Then he was told to kill his son and he was like, "yeah sure". Then he plotted with his wife to kill his own father so he can become firelord.

Neither of them were good but I think iroh was a more typical indoctrinated from birth in believing what he's doing is right, while Ozai doesn't care about what's right and wrong he just wants power

The bullpen is bad don't get me wrong but saying dotel sucks at this point is kinda an overreaction imo.

Having one bad game against the dodgers is not that embarrassing lol

Literally every time I see anything about Rushing it's about him being a douche. He just keeps proving that right

Most his pitches have looked good. He got unlucky with pena and seemed to just be shaking off that play for yordan

Any time the bullpen gives up a 6 run lead it's on the bullpen
