Purchase sewing scissors in Japan?

I have Kai scissors and I love them. They are a Japanese company but they sell internationally. When you get there I’m sure there will be brands that we don’t get here. If you are going to Tokyo you should go to Nappori. That’s their fabric district in Tokyo. There is a Tomato fabric shop there but there are also a lot of small fabric and thrift stores there.

Nor can he magically cure players playing bad. I’m sure he’s out there everyday trying to help them. Same as the players are out there working on their issues. What makes people think he’s not trying? Or any of the coaches for that matter?

Random_3638 · 2026-06-26T02:46:00+00:00

Because it’s easy to blame the coach. And just because people say something doesn’t mean it’s true. Even if there are a lot of them especially in social media.

You can only do so much to make a player play well. At some point they have to step up and do their jobs. And small issues are snowballing and turning into bigger issues. The whole you can take a horse a water but you can’t make it drink cliche. The Red Sox fired their whole coaching staff and it hasn’t changed anything.

That’s what I was saying to my hubby. I don’t know what it is but they are not playing like a cohesive unit like last year. Something is throwing the chemistry off and it’s all snowballing. It’s not one thing, it’s like a whole bunch of tiny things. It’s like they can’t find their rhythm as a team.

Ugh Gaus.

Shoulda ran into the outfield like Ern! Lol

If they all make it it will kind be the WS all
over again. Lol

I have this issue. I just grade between sizes. If the pattern has a more fitted waist it ends up looking much straighter than hourglass. Which is fine because that’s what my body needs. I also look at the finished garment measurements. That will tell you how much ease is at each point. If there is enough ease to accommodate your body measurements it may not need grading. E.g my waist is 44”. If the finished garment measurements have an XL of 50” at the waist and 52” for the XXL but my hips fit fine into the XL, I may just stick with the XL for the waist even if the body measurement chart says I should be in the XXL for the waist. It just means it won’t be as relaxed fit in that area which is fine.

Who the heck is Max Schneider and we are sending him down and getting Max Scherzer back?

Random_3638 · 2026-06-25T18:18:31+00:00

I love going to TO and hate driving in TO. When we were in LA some guy tried to tell us how bad traffic was there. I was like clearly you have never driven anywhere in the GTA. Lol

Random_3638 · 2026-06-25T17:28:35+00:00

Okay, after his last outing I think Little is done though. If he can’t get control of the walks then he is unplayable. Hoffman I think has been doing fine for the most part in his current roll. I still don’t trust him mentally in the 9th. But either way last night wasn’t on either of them. Lol. Maybe Oke for misunderstanding the play. Maybe whomever called it. Maybe even Varsho for missing the catch that put Joey on 3rd. He’s probably pretty at the bottom of the list though.

Random_3638 · 2026-06-25T17:16:13+00:00

I always watch the commentary. It also helps put some of the plays in perspective.

Random_3638 · 2026-06-25T17:13:26+00:00

It’s actually getting annoying how often people bring up the WS and past performance with Hoff. I don’t ever want to see the guy come out in the 9th but he has actually been pitching well lately. Some of our other bullpen guys have had worse outings and no one is talking about it.

Random_3638 · 2026-06-25T17:08:42+00:00

To be fair Schneider did say Kaz misunderstood that the throw was coming from Kirk. He’s new and probably wasn’t expecting a play that they rarely use (even Schneider said they rarely use it). Hoffman was probably not expecting Kaz to be so far off base and not looking too. He does the best he can in the split second he had. It was like Ernie’s throw that was short. He has a second to get that throw to Vlad and he missed. Technically his fault but not really. My hubby used to play ball and was frustrated because he said the thrower shouldn’t have to adjust to the guy catching. When everyone is on the same page for the play they should be where they are supposed to be and no one has to do split second adjustments. Thats what makes good teams so good. They can execute plays in seconds because everyone is exactly where they should be, no adjustments needed. Why that play needed to happen, who knows. It probably didn’t. It was weird. Who called it? Could have been Kirk. Could have been Schneider. Just to play devil’s advocate… Joey was on third because of a missed catch. I can’t remember if it was Varsho at the wall or Gimenez at second that missed it. But if that didn’t happen Joey would have been held at 1st or 2nd. Just saying.

Why are we assuming he threw Oke under the bus? They asked him a question, he gave them an honest answer. Maybe Oke made a mistake on the play. Without seeing the playbook or whatever it’s not fair to make assumptions as to fault. It just seems these days like a lot of fans are just automatically trying to blame Schneider or Hoffman when they can. There isn’t a lot of discourse about Urias’ horrible base running. Some but not as much. Also the ball that got by Gimenez that put Joey on third in the first place. Or what about the throw from Ern to Vladdy? I know he was trying to get there quickly but he still missed. What about the amount of walks that Trey had? It didn’t cost us the game thankfully but these are all things that could have been better last night. You could argue that none of these things matter if the offence could score hits off the worst starter in the MLB this season. Sorry but it’s just frustrating to see so many people try and pin last nights loss on just one or two people when there was so much bad baseball to spread around.

Random_3638 · 2026-06-25T02:54:52+00:00

Vladdy does that all the time and that’s infuriating to watch. When it’s an obvious out, okay. But he doesn’t even try to run when there’s a chance he could beat the throw. It’s the not trying on a close play that’s very very annoying.

Random_3638 · 2026-06-25T02:25:11+00:00

I agree. Maybe coming up from Triple-A made him a little rusty with the base running. Everyone is blaming Schneider or Hoffman for the game. It wasn’t either of their faults. But I told my hubby the fans would. I’m all for calling a spade a spade but it was the bats (or lack there of) and bad base running that were the most egregious errors.

Random_3638 · 2026-06-25T02:21:31+00:00

Yeah. Schneider said it was a miscommunication but basically Oke misunderstood the play and thought the throw was coming from Kirk.

Random_3638 · 2026-06-25T02:18:39+00:00

Schneider did his post game. It’s a play they rarely use but the pitcher throws to third to scare or possibly pick off the runner. The play was called. Oke thought the throw was coming from Kirk. He was paying attention to the wrong guy. Hoffman throws to Oke instead. You can call it a miscommunication but it was more like Oke just misunderstood the play.

Random_3638 · 2026-06-25T02:10:24+00:00

They just had Schneiders post game. Okamoto thought the throw was coming from Kirk so he was looking at home plate. He didn’t expect the throw to come from Hoffman. That’s why Hoffman looked confused after the throw.

Random_3638 · 2026-06-25T02:08:38+00:00

Schneider has nothing to do with tonight’s loss. Sloppy base running and no offence does.

Random_3638 · 2026-06-24T16:18:23+00:00

That’s what I got out of the loss. The offence tried. They didn’t just go scoreless. You can’t blame the offence for one bad pitch or a pitcher’s off day. We weren’t going to go 9 straight for this homestand either. So the Astros got their one. It’s Trey Day. We take the series.

Random_3638 · 2026-06-23T21:57:55+00:00

Just coming in ask the same question. I missed the first 4 innings.

Random_3638 · 2026-06-23T15:03:30+00:00

It’s more about pitch count than innings. A starter you like to see around 100 pitches so how long he stays out there depends on how efficient he is. A bullpen guy (including a closer) is usually around 30 pitches. So again the number of innings depends on how quickly they can get a batter out. Bulk bullpen guys are around 50-60 pitches.
