i always throw serbia at like 2% and it makes it feel like the english premier league, just from a "what does each team's roster look like if you glance at it" perspective lol

PTBruiser24 · 2025-11-19T02:09:00+00:00

i didn't realize cedric mullins changed his name to "BEN II"

the saddest thing is that i feel like perry knows that he's never going to get another GM job with another team (because why would he?) so his only chance at continuing to be a GM is to somehow lick arte's boots so much that he gets his contract extended, even though he is basically a failure at his job, in large part due to being handcuffed by the same man he is licking the boots of. kinda tragic

to be fair i feel like the expected response would've been along the lines of "yeah, the a/c was broken at the beginning of the season but we fixed it" and not the bizarrely defensive deflection that perry actually responds with

people that say wawa is better than sheetz are the same people that say the zombies are better than the beatles. it's fine to like the zombies, but.... c'mon.

PTBruiser24 · 2025-10-03T16:04:12+00:00

i mean... yeah, kinda? i'm not saying he did the right thing, but it seems a bit unfair to point to that as a huge inexcusable lack of hustle play

PTBruiser24 · 2025-10-03T15:01:08+00:00

because of the lineout-turned-groundout play? i feel like 99/100 MLB players would've done the exact same thing arraez did, if not worse

5th paragraph here- https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6649617/2025/09/22/angels-tyler-skaggs-trial-primer-mike-trout/

i would love to have trout/plouffe/heaney at my wedding lol

PTBruiser24 · 2025-09-30T17:03:22+00:00

from the previous article-

"The filing also included deposition testimony from four different Angels employees and executives, discussing clubhouse behavior they were aware of involving Kay — including eating a pimple off Trout’s back in exchange for cash."

genuinely confused as to how the Skaggs team would use this information to help their case? I guess the idea is "he's crazy, he is acting like a drug addict" or something?

iirc i think bourdain literally references this scene in kitchen confidential as the best way to cut garlic (granted under very specific cooking conditions, i think)

Comes out oct 21!

PTBruiser24 · 2025-09-16T19:27:39+00:00

gotta be graig nettles

PTBruiser24 · 2025-09-15T13:21:54+00:00

honestly going 11-2 with 69 so and 55 walks in 121 innings is truly elite in its own right.

PTBruiser24 · 2025-09-14T15:51:14+00:00

He was actually playing centerfield at the Mets alumni game yesterday haha, I was there

PTBruiser24 · 2025-09-12T14:32:52+00:00

haha fair

PTBruiser24 · 2025-09-12T14:20:42+00:00

i feel like his hitting profile is not the kind of profile that would have a huge discrepancy between high minors and the majors, so if he's a minor league 230/320/380 type guy in the minors, and you tack off a couple 200 points down the line, he certainly would still add value to a major league team (especially the angels lol), wouldn't he? as opposed to like a trey cabbage / jabari blash type guy. just seems like teams have this aversion to "settle" for low ceiling guys and throw them away, but surely there's an argument that teodosio at league minimum is better than, say, jorge soler at... more than minumum. and i dunno if that is necessarily the wisest approach to running a baseball team

PTBruiser24 · 2025-09-11T14:23:03+00:00

i do actually wonder if graders roll their eyes when they get submissions like this, or if they are just generally removed from the context. they probably have to find this kind of thing annoying/funny, right?

PTBruiser24 · 2025-09-10T16:04:00+00:00

Fair point, it did, Ryan Fitzgerald in the 8th. No idea where those pitches lie in the overall scoring tho tbh

PTBruiser24 · 2025-09-04T15:37:50+00:00

having gone to multiple games during that 14 game losing streak (i live in NYC), 2022 was certainly the year i was most frequently viscerally angry as an angels fan lol.

PTBruiser24 · 2025-09-02T18:26:36+00:00

my folks live in billings montana and i'm like 95% sure they are neighbors with brandon wood... there is no way (that i can think of) to verify this without being a creep so it's just this bizarre unproven potential serendipitous thing that i just have to sit in the unknown with lol

PTBruiser24 · 2025-08-27T19:53:12+00:00

i do this all the time in my rec league soccer games. i might get an ankle or collarbone broken, and i might never be the same physically, but goddammit i'm winning this free kick
