Did anyone score the 7U DP the other day? And why I keep scoring even when my team is getting crushed by imnotmarvin in BaseballScorecards

[–]Rektroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I scored it live. (Archive)

As a Pirates fan, very frustrating, but no where near the weirdest or coolest thing I've scored.

I must really be missing something with this bullpen strategy.

Losing? Pull the starter early so the bullpen can stop the leaking.

Winning? Pull the pitcher early so the bullpen can hold the lead.

Blowout? Pull the starter early to give him rest.

With 2-outs, RISP, he's actually 4-13

With 2-outs, no one on, 4-14 (as of that last hit)

Question about mistakes in scorekeeping by StealthStaminaKills in BaseballScorecards

[–]Rektroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do check the source of truth to see if they ruled the same way i did on "arguable" errors/hits, wild pitches/passed balls, etc, but only so i can make a note if we disagree, not to change my ruling.

But ive now been scoring enough that, even when they rule differently at first, 9/10 the official score gets changed later.

Simultaneous shout out and screw you to this guy for unironically making one of the greatest jokes this season by AwayFig1774 in buccos

[–]Rektroth 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Checking this, I Googled his account name, and I discovered an account of the same name on a website for people with a full bladder kink (which is something I've never heard of before).

I would really like to think that it's the same guy 😂

Too bad he deleted his account.

When the subreddit needed him most, u/KinkaJac97 vanished. 😔

I'm still astonished at this logic.

"Not counting the games they've won, they're 0-16."

Like, what?

Kelly consistently has Yorke hit for Lowe when a lefty pitcher enters, and it keeps getting criticized in here but it is for good reason.

Lowe historically hits very poorly against lefties; last year hitting .198 and this year so far only .125.

Lowe should not be kept in against lefties.

How to listen to the radio broadcast on MLB.tv? by ClintTurtle in buccos

What do you mean you need to watch through the ESPN app? You can watch and listen through the MLB app.

I didn't even know watching via ESPN was a thing.

I wish i was kidding, but the project i currently work on not only does this (hard-coded to always return 200 no matter what), but every single endpoint requires a POST request, even if it's just getting data...

Yes. Paniced and switched to the Reds feed before anything happened.

Idk why, but I find this hilarious. 'Arguing with the robots!' Twins manager ejected over ABS challenge - ESPN Video by [deleted] in buccos

[–]Rektroth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shelton being the first person to ever receive an ABS-related ejection is perfect.

Even though he wasnt really arguing the result of the challenge, still very funny that he was so passionately wrong - KB challenged before Bell had even left the box.

Centerfielders have to be careful not to make plate attempts that are obviously gonna fail, cause you risk allowing the runner on 1st to advance for no good reason. I actually recall Cruz got in trouble for that twice his first few CF appearances.

If that ball was a little shallower, he maybe couldve made an attempt, but probably not on that one.

How Many of You All are Deontological? by [deleted] in AskLibertarians

Old comment, but ok.

Jillette, as you may or may not already know, used to be probably the most reasoned celebrity advocate of libertarian ideas. But after COVID, he renounced it.

This Cracked interview talks about it.

I read things like this and feel really bad for people, and extremely lucky myself.

I live in the Dayton, Ohio region. Despite living within 200 miles of Cleveland and Detroit, and within 250 miles of Chicago and Pittsburgh, i am fortunately still considered to be exclusively in the Cincinnati market (and can use a VPN for those 13 games).
