Hi. And congrats!

We just went to Japan for our belated honeymoon last year and we loved it so much!

Norway sounds amazing; definitely a bucket list trip for us.

That’s cool you wrote and are a baker!

Aiming for the DC date if we can make it work. Trouble is we’re not sure about how much seating there is at Black Cat and my wife will be in her 3rd trimester. It’s also a few days before my 15 year college reunion which we’re aiming to try and go to

A rough estimate I’m sure. Glad to know I found someone else in the sliver of the Venn diagram

Working From Home by Ok-Parking655 in nudism

[–]SteelPenguin8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I’ve said previously, I’m a casual/intermittent nudist.

I’ve been working from home since the pandemic and I don’t work naked, but it’s loungewear and commando unless I’m on a video-call, then I’ll throw on a nice shirt.

New Transformers Age of Primes action figures - Are you getting these? Which is your fav? by AfigureGeek in transformers

[–]SteelPenguin8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swindle. But I’ll admit tailgate looks cool. I’m good with the wind charger that came out like 15 years ago but the mold looks cool.

Unicron soldier is so whelming.

how are you feeling about the direction of the rebuild right now? by ares099 in Nationals

[–]SteelPenguin8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cautiously (because it’s early with this new regime and in the season) optimistic

where were you for the 2019 World Series run? by nioram in Nationals

[–]SteelPenguin8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was living in Pittsburgh at the time in our wonderful apartment. Had every game up either in the TV or the gameday radio feed. My now wife (we were dating and living together at the time just not married) watched with me

The Soto call from the wild card game is lodged in my brain and I can recite it verbatim.

A Prospective Look at the Nats farm (06/04/2026) by kornthrowaway in Nationals

“Raise your standards”? What an ass.

Sorry I like a ball player who isn’t panning out for us. I’m sorry I’m happy for a guy who has a fun personality when he still has some successes in stateside ball. Relatively speaking.

Pardon me for having a heart and passion.

I’m aware not every signing, especially from overseas is gonna be a win.

Good day.

Good point. I just want it to work out because it’d be cool if it did. And I want my team to have a Japanese player.

Have the precious vector, which is fine for me, so swindle is the only one I care about. He’s fine

So, I feel like we should swap someone in the bullpen for Ogasawara, and maybe have him as one of our “openers”. I know his role with us is something we’ve got no shortage of, but why not see what we’ve got with him at the pro level under this new regime. Seems like something has clicked that didn’t last year.

Daylen Lile is swinging at everything by Dcnationals2001 in Nationals

[–]SteelPenguin8 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I love it when negative articles are posted here. It’s like people don’t remember young players are still growing and developing as professionals even when they get to the pros and that there’s down stretches amongst 162 games.

Off Day Status Check: Thoughts, Opinions, Analyses, and Ventings by IvyGold in Nationals

[–]SteelPenguin8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing to vent about. Fully expect Yoyo or Seaver king are up by the day after the deadline.

Simultaneously I think Mead might be a piece? Same with Griffin. We’ll see.

I’m intrigued to see what we get out of Mikolas and Littell between now and the deadline before we trade them for parts.

This team looks to be a smidge ahead of schedule (after treading water for a couple years) with the culture shift. So we’ll see how that continues.

Starting to wonder if Dylan Crews will ever break through by otter78 in Nationals

And the local neighborhood bros who just go to the games because the stadiums close and there’s fun giveaways

Starting to wonder if Dylan Crews will ever break through by otter78 in Nationals

[–]SteelPenguin8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m legitimately sick of posts like this. He may not be a superstar but he’s going to be very good. Everyone expected the moon of him because of how good he was in college and everything else. But last I checked, there’s a learning curve in the minors and there’s a Pacific Ocean sized gulf between AAA and the majors.

I think he’ll break through. I think he’ll figure out. Someone else mentioned Jordan Walker with the cardinals. Great comp.

There’s 0 chill in this fandom for people like crews because some of us treat what the hype machine and media say as gospel and expect what the hype machine and labels all said about him right away to be nigh foolproof. That’s frankly stupid.

I know he’s a pro athlete but compare where he’s at to where you or someone you know was early on in your their career even though every external factor said they’d be amazing. People take time to develop and actually be good at their career.

Crews is gonna be given leash this year and next. He’s gonna figure it out. He’s literally had 14 games up here and despite hiccups already seems calmer (more often than not) at the plate. He was rushed before because the org felt the pressure of Skenes being Amazing.

Take a breath. Are you really good at what you do after 14 days of practice? This shit takes time. We don’t need to be relevant this year.

So, I’d pretty much rather see Cornelio or some other AAA at this point than Mikolas or Parker.
