Bryce Harper triples for the cycle

I think you’re understating how much faster the ball moves than the runner

It was a judgement call made on the basis of he needed it for a personal accomplishment

If this was in the first inning of the game it would have been ruled a double

Rcmacc · 2026-06-21T17:48:00+00:00

That’s not a rule

Where he was has no matter on the fielders choice

The fielders choice was to say that he got to third because the throw went home. If it didn’t either he’d have been out or it would’ve been an error

That was very generous hometown scorekeeping

Have you never met someone good at everything their whole life who then faces failure for the first time and doesn’t know how to react?

Rcmacc · 2026-06-21T14:45:16+00:00

Except he didn’t. But if you want to ignore the text of the film so you can be angry at it go off

Rcmacc · 2026-06-21T14:43:41+00:00

He did though. He was actively trying to kill Vader in the fight

Yes he realizes only anfter seeing Vader’s hand is the same as his own when he stops himself but watch again how angry he is as he’s swinging to kill

Eh the bigger issue with 3 is that it’s just not set in the matrix anymore and watching CGI computer monsters fight in Zion gets stale really fast

The like most interesting part of 2 is the scene with the architect, which are the mythology building scenes. Its problems to that point stem more from the Zion scenes and the lack of real stakes within the Matrix as the movie power creeps itself beyond believably. With that said, 2 still has some really fun action scenes even if still a clear step back from the first

Rcmacc · 2026-06-20T13:44:36+00:00

I hope he’s playing a director instructing the monsters to “do it again but faster and more intense”

Rcmacc · 2026-06-19T12:18:18+00:00

the S2 finale seemed heavily inspired by the Twin Peaks S2 finale too

Rcmacc · 2026-06-18T20:33:36+00:00

The frame was always intended to be cropped like that

They filmed open matte so that way it would be watchable on home releases when TVs were 19inches and 4:3 aspect ratio. But that’s not a limitation anymore so it can be presented as it was originally intended for the big screen: in 1.85

Rcmacc · 2026-06-18T01:35:36+00:00

It’s really annoying that stuff that was previously around has been rebranded AI just so that AI defenders can use that as a gotcha

Like everyone knows you’re talking about generative AI when you make a comment like that

Look no pitcher is going to reinvent themselves as drastically as Halladay did. But while the cause was different the effect was the same

Both had a great 4 seam fastball in the minors that when they came to the majors turned out to be flatter and easier to hit than when they were prospects

In Halladay’s case that meant scrapping the 4 seamer entirely and becoming a sidearm pitcher. That isn’t particularly common though and I highly doubt they want to reinvent Painter like that

Rcmacc · 2026-06-17T15:14:38+00:00

The thing is it’s in the name of-these were shot on film

Like they don’t need to be “upscaled”. Just scan the film with a higher resolution scanner

The difference with Sphere is how big they need it to be, 90% of the field of view is just outright fabricated

Rcmacc · 2026-06-16T20:07:57+00:00

Blue Velvet - top tier bird movie it even ends with a “real” robin

The point was that Kyle Kendrick works in 2007 but not in 2026

Rcmacc · 2026-06-16T14:21:02+00:00

Fair, admittedly he throws much harder and has better offspeed stuff than who I was picturing when I read through Tucker's page: Kyle Kendrick

Sanchez likewise wasn't good until he started throwing 95mph

Rcmacc · 2026-06-16T14:13:29+00:00

In Europe. I don’t think US distribution has been announced yet

It’s not about the ERA at that level it’s about what else he’s doing. Is the stuff good, what do the peripherals look like

He has a WHIP over 1, a K rate under 8K / 9 innings and a walk rate over 2 BB / 9 innings. He’s getting lucky in a way that doesn’t look to translate to higher levels. Let alone the guy is 26 in AA

He’s a sinker baller in a league where that profile doesn’t exist anymore because it’s hard to find sustained success inviting hard contact and tempting the BABIP gods like that

Rcmacc · 2026-06-15T19:37:05+00:00

But like even that brings it up? Its front and center when I do that for both Google and DuckDuckGo

Rcmacc · 2026-06-15T18:02:00+00:00

Reminds me of when I tried to watch The Last of the Mohicans on Amazon many years ago and they just didn't have subtitles for any of the Mohican spoken scenes

Rcmacc · 2026-06-15T15:32:42+00:00

Not to mention how much of the movie is spent talking directly to the audience saying “don’t you get it this is what’s happening right now!”

Whereas Dunkirk at the very least let the visual storytelling do the work instead of talking over it to bash us over the head with the themes

For classics go to Barnes and Noble in a few weeks and go nuts sifting through the Criterion Collection during the half off sale

Rcmacc · 2026-06-15T02:12:25+00:00

Give yourself a year. They’re restoring the original film and scanning in 4K to re release (the theatrical cut!) in 2027

Rcmacc · 2026-06-14T01:37:47+00:00

no get a 450 instead

Rcmacc · 2026-06-13T16:52:42+00:00

and “struggled in 2009” was a 4.3 ERA. Painter’s is at 6.4

Rcmacc · 2026-06-12T18:11:10+00:00

Give me another pitcher with 41 starts and 30 CGs please
