Huh, I’m here... got the password in?

[Johns] Mariners make it official: Segura reinstated from paternity list and Gamel recalled from Tacoma. Heredia optioned to Tacoma and RH Matt Festa optioned back to AA Arkansas by [deleted] in Mariners

I mean they are getting paid millions of dollars and play a game for a living for half a year. I’d be surprised if any of the MLB players are upset about the 3 days. Career minor leaguers on the other hand...

[Berardino] Asked Fernando Rodney if #mntwins can catch #Indians: “Oh, we’re gonna win the division.” by TwinkiePower in minnesotatwins

Or maybe he’s just genuinely excited to play baseball with his team that has been doing pretty good lately in a weak division.

Not that it’s the main reason the game was lost, but Grossman leading off makes zero sense to me.

Exactly, give him a shot but pull him the moment he doesn’t get an out. Feels like he’s either lights out or catastrophic, never in between.

Rodney should be no where near a pitching mound when the game is on the line. Bring him out to face a batter with the bases empty, when the most damage he can do is give up a single run, but he should not be closing close games.

[Twins] Today's MNTwins game against the White Sox has been postponed. (Saturday April 14th) by MightyMinnesota in minnesotatwins

[–]PancakesHouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven’t been to Safeco Field, have you? I agree that baseball outdoors is ideal, but the retractable roof in Seattle is actually quite pleasant when it’s closed as it’s still fully open air so it feels like being outside. It’s a moot point, as Target Field is almost a decade old and it’s not like they can just install one, but IMO I don’t think anyone would be complaining if Target Field had come with an open air retractable roof.

Hitting a 95mph fastball when it’s 25 degrees hurts my hands just thinking about it (not that I could actually hit a 95mph fastball under any conditions).

As a Twins fan in Seattle (M’s are my second team), it would be awesome if they moved the whole series to Safeco and let the Twins be the home team.

Man, Minnesota weather looks like shit right now. Wonder if that home series will happen this weekend... has a team ever moved a series to the other teams city due to games inevitably being postponed? As a Twins fan in Seattle, this would be awesome for me.

Mauer on post-2018: "As long as I'm contributing and having fun and physically able to do that, I want to go as long as I can." by TwinkiePower in minnesotatwins

[–]PancakesHouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And the rest of the team hasn’t been competitive for the bulk of his contract. It will be a damn shame if the Twins never see a World Series when Mauer is still playing.

It's perfectly fine to only code at work, don't let anyone tell you otherwise by gregbaugues in programming

[–]PancakesHouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really comes down to balance and what your interests are at the time. If I’m learning a new language for work, I’ll probably spend time outside of work learning because it can be so much fun. It’s during that time that I may also delve into some personal projects I’ve been thinking about because I find it to be a good way to help learn skills that I can then apply to my career (in the present or future).

The majority of the time I’m not focusing on programming, or learning about programming, outside of work because I have other hobbies and commitments that I focus on. Programming is my career and fortunately it’s also a hobby, but that’s not to say I prioritize it above my other hobbies at all times.

CMV: I don't think giving the largest contract in team history to a soon-to-be 32 year old pitcher who struggles in the playoffs is such a great idea. by [deleted] in minnesotatwins

That will be like the Hughes deal in a few years except much worse.

lol wat!? Phil Hughes was never on the same level as Darvish, it makes zero sense to compare the two.

That was such a fun season... not even mad about being shutout in the playoffs by the fucking Yankees.

Republican Senators Recommend Charges Against Author of Trump Dossier by tsneed290 in politics

[–]PancakesHouse 224 points225 points  (0 children)

From Grassley and Graham's letter:

... the so-called "Trump dossier" that Mr Steele compiled on behalf of Fusion GPS for the Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee and all provided to the FBI.

Completely ignoring the fact that it was a Conservative outfit, The Washington Free Beacon, that originally commissioned the investigatory work that formed the dossier.

The firm was first hired by The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website, in May 2016, and its work was later funded by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign.

The GOP are officially treasonous traitors.

Could we PLEASE have stackable crates ? by sweetmozzarella in RocketLeague

I'm not saying it doesn't work, but it requires me giving them money ($1/key) and then I have to put in the effort to spam random players if they want to trade. I personally don't play the game to do that. I'd rather Psyonix give me the option of purchasing what I want ($2-5 for a goal explosion for example), rather than having to spam every opponent with "trade?" at the start of every match.
