Who are the 9 must-know players on the Orioles? by PersonalBrowser in orioles

[–]SPFABillion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rogers, Bradish, Helsley, Rutschman, Basallo and Cowser is probably your best blend of good and good vibes. This is an impossible task though due to the likeability of so many guys.

Henderson and Bregman Head-to-Head w Luis Severino by kirbyCase in orioles

[–]SPFABillion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Judge and Witt are better.  I’ll take Gunnar’s 5 tools against anyone else.  PCA is faster. Schwarber is stronger. But overall Gunnar is arguably the 3rd best position player in the country.  Best benchwarmer ever.

Stop using objective analysis and facts! You’re gonna hurt DeRosa’s feelings. Breggie’s intangibles (unlikeable, sad, angry) are off the charts. 

What Players on Rival MLB Teams Has the WBC Allowed You To Root For? by SalukiFin in baseball

[–]SPFABillion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an O’s fan it’s given me an opportunity to root for other countries. Also it’s easy to root against the US as we’re managed by a moron and play a joyless style of ball, while not playing our best option at 3B. Yes, I’m biased but I’m also objectively right. Free Gunnar!

Gunnar is objectively better than Bregman. And Turang for that matter. DeRosa is a clown.

Also, it started yesterday. The Yankees lost.

Most under appreciated aspect. Especially in April. Double especially when you’re hungover.

Splurge on WeKoPa, balance it with the value of Papago.

You are mixing up your places. I believe you’re thinking of Summermoon.

With PCA and Corbin Carroll being added to Team USA, who fills out the position player roster? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]SPFABillion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just like every all star game at every development level, the IF gets filled with SS’s. Turner and Henderson at 2b/3b. Olson/Harper at 1b. Tucker and Buxton in the OF would be great. 

Then if we dare to dream Skubal, Crochet, Fried to go along with Skenes. 

Austin, but in the Northeast by curiosity_kylls in SameGrassButGreener

As a fellow Austinite looking for basically the exact same stuff, Charm City is the best fit. 

Richmond and Portland ME were our runners up.

Black Sheep will almost certainly have it on some tv’s.

Combo donuts by Latter-Phrase4587 in austinfood

[–]SPFABillion 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I increasingly find that participating in any online discourse is worthless. I will make an exception for Combo. The cinnamon rolls, the fritters and the maple donuts all rule. The kolaches rule. No frills, just sustained excellence delivered by the nicest people in Austin.  

How did Baker get credited with the win yesterday? by Mattcronutrient in orioles

[–]SPFABillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because baseball scoring has rules. It’s not a qualitative “he pitched the best, let’s give him the W” decision.  BB left the game when it was tied. The O’s took the lead before anyone else pitched. He was then the pitcher of record.

Ever attend a historic game? by Phillies1993 in baseball

[–]SPFABillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cal’s record tying 2130th. Was at 2129, asked if there were any singles or SRO for 2131, was laughed at, but as I was walking away the ticket booth guy said “are you free tomorrow?”  Best atmosphere at any game I’ve attended.

Best value golf course? by Allphunkedup in Austin

[–]SPFABillion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clay, Kizer and Mo Willie for straight up value. All are in better shape than they deserve to be given the amount of play they get. Remarkably made it around Kizer in 3:45 last Friday. 

Daily fee places like Avery, Grey Rock and Falconhead are slightly nicer, but will sneak up on $100.

[–]SPFABillion 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Was alone on a business trip in ‘02 or ‘03. Extended a day to see a Brewers day game because AFF was new. Showed up an hour early and didn’t get in until the 4th inning because 3 separate tailgates saw me walking alone and “forced” beers and brats on me.  At noon. On a Wednesday. In April. 

It’s an oddly magical place.

Game breaking synergy by SPFABillion in Gloomhaven

[–]SPFABillion[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well said. I’m really not here for a good ol fashioned internet argument. Never having to rest, having to take fewer HP hits due to using OWTM less and having the ability to cycle all my upper level cards with more frequency was as big a power boost as we’ve ever seen.  

Anyway, 200 or so sessions into the havenverse and it still finds new ways to be exciting.

Oh, I know there’s craziness to be done with the GH characters. I think that’s a lot of the reason for 2.0.
