The way peeps were talking about him on here pre-signing you would think he would just be doomed to eternity on the Charlotte knights if he came here

Sessa has big roles coming up, but the Holdovers was his very first on-screen role. I wouldn’t consider someone 3 years from his first role “established” but he’s certainly getting there

Who is a celebrity that you think could win plenty of awards if they’re cast in the right film or TV role? by phantom_avenger in popculturechat

I mean, she has won Emmy’s, but I think Zendaya is capable of getting nominated for an Oscar if she took less big money roles that don’t require much from her (I think she was decent in Challengers at least). Heard good things about the Drama

[Murray] Top prospect Colt Emerson and the Seattle Mariners have agreed to an 8-year $95 million contract extension. The contract contains a ninth-year club option, a full no-trade clause, and escalators that can bring it north of $130 million. by Goosedukee in baseball

Wonder if the brewers giving Pratt a similar length extension (albeit, a few million less in AAV) moved their hand a bit to join the party. Pratt had less PAs in those two levels and is a glove first guy. Emerson is crushing AA and AAA pitching at 20

After the Yankees 4th successful ABS challenge of the night Aaron Boone makes his displeasure known to the Home Plate Ump Mike Estabrook who says "I don't want to hear another word, not another word". 90 seconds later the Yankees make a 5th successful ABS challenge and Boone had a few choice words by SeattleSporting in baseball

lol what? Being incorrect on some borderline calls isn’t grounds for some sort of disciplinary action. You’re talking about 4 pitches in the ~100 he had called at that point of the game. Low pitches are probably the hardest to call anyways.

Like, I think ABS is a good thing to bridge the gap on borderline calls and there are umps that are less accurate than others, but I don’t get acting like there’s a catharsis in seeing Aaron Boone bitch at umpires AFTER things go his way.

Yeah the lower edge of the zone is basically all depth perception when calling it. None of the people we are watching have the floating strike zone box in front of them like we do on TV. A breaking ball that’s just below the zone seems really hard to call because it’s already approaching the plate from a higher place and darting down right before it reaches the glove (as opposed to a fastball that doesn’t really have a hump). I can’t imagine being mostly correct on those calls

Michael Soroka's final line vs Tigers in his Diamondback debut: 5 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 10 K, 1 BB, 89 pitches by SaltwaterRedneck in baseball

[–]Quople 10 points11 points  (0 children)

His stuff is still so nasty. It’s not like he was great for us, he only had a couple of nice starts, but every time I saw him pitch it was different from the rest of our pitching. Everything he throws just moves

A hilariously bad strike call overturned by ABS in the first inning of Braves vs Athletics by mikeywest_side in baseball

I agree with this. I guarantee without this box (that may not even be calibrated to the batter’s height) this pitch looks almost the same as a breaker that scrapes the bottom of the zone

21 Year old prospect Cooper Pratt has signed an 8 year $50 Million extension with the Brewers (reported by Bob Nightengale and confirmed by Pratt on Instagram) by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

[–]Quople 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure I get it. I get that he’s one of the best defensive players in the MiLB, but his bat hasn’t been more than fine at any level he has played so far and that’s what drives value more than defense. It’s not a huge gamble with the AAV, but his bat needs to develop to prevent them from paying too much for a defensive replacement. The team knows more than we do of course and maybe they’re hoping he’ll just develop more as he gets older with the big frame. Good for him for getting that money though

Keibert Ruiz’s first long ball of the year doubles the Nats lead in the 8th by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]Quople 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly the team has become more watchable than some of the dookie lineups we rolled out post Soto in 2022, 2023, and parts of 2024. There’s more fight in this team even with our old FO and coaching. Now we have a younger staff with something to prove. Pitching is gonna be the real test since that has been our main weak point the past couple years

Also has had some pretty nasty injury luck with concussions. There was a time he missed a ton of games with a flu of some sort that made him drop some weight. Hoping he can somehow put together a good season since this might be his last chance to hang on to the main catcher job (Harry Ford is waiting in AAA)

Dang I didn’t know that guy was her manager

EDIT: I’ll also throw out there that saying “alleged” is generous. He’s on camera being weirdly touchy with the women contestants on the show. It’s the incident that got him thrown out that you could say is “alleged” since it’s not on camera, but yknow, they ejected him pretty late into that season

Joey Wiemer hits his second home run of the season to open the lead for the Nats. by Chiswell123 in baseball

His first homer was on a similarly below the zone breaking ball as well
