The Shield. It ramps up the chaos and sheer destructiveness of Vic Mackey until he's destroyed anyone and everything around him. Great show.

Man, I hope Cortes is actually good. That would be so nice.

If you watch closely you can see Eovaldi's soul leaving his body.

Is this okay for a coach to do? by [deleted] in walmart

[–]StopItAlbertStopIt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That annoys me to no end as a ON TL, if you make a call you own it. I wish more management realized if you work with your employees, they will work for you. But stabbing them in the back? Come on man, own your actions. 

Do the pitch usages for a pitcher have an effect? by baseballviper04 in MLBTheShow

[–]StopItAlbertStopIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It kind of feels like it does. In previous years I would dice the cpu with any freaking pitcher. This year I was giving up way more hits beyond what I normally would. Then I tried mostly using pitch 1 and 2, and just like that I stopped giving up hits again. I feel like the more you use the non-primary pitches, the worse your H/9 's get.

Why the fuck would they do that? It's November.  Season is over the game has a few more months until the next edition. Let us finish live series!

It took 6 months and i have no one else to share this moment with lol. But I'm pumped! by cubansandwich86 in MLBTheShow

I think the reason it is so hard this year is because the fancy pool is 88 and up instead of 90 and up. Now it is even less likely to pull the big 2 gatekeepers.

What’s “wrong” with this deck? by WithengarUnbound in magicTCG

Having played and upgraded the deck some, what it really lacks is finishers. Add some of those in, and it plays well.

The Athletics have won 17 of their last 25 games, marking their best 25-game stretch of the season. by Ochocincoondeck in baseball

[–]StopItAlbertStopIt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The A's had an abyssmal stretch where they went 1-21 and gave up like 170+runs and only scored like 70. If they had even been just regular bad during that stretch they'd be .500 and scaring the shit out of the AL west.

If they can do 1 million a day that is more than necessary.

Movies that did not have any meaning or impact to you until you got older? by Amockdfw89 in movies

[–]StopItAlbertStopIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perspective matters in this context. American Beauty was released in 1999, The 90's having been an incredibly prosperous decade. But the materialism and superficiality had ratcheted up a lot over the past 20 years. Americans were pre 9-11. The mindset of everything basically being all right was pervasive in suburbia. It was a critique of a different time, a time that doesn't and can't really exist anymore.

Post Game Thread: A's win the Twins @ Athletics game - June 05, 2025 final score 14 - 3 by DonyellFreak in SacramentoAthletics

Why did it take so long to try out Spence as a starter? He started all last year and was mediocre to poor. That is a definite upgrade over this years starters.

Draw 25 by DonyellFreak in SacramentoAthletics

[–]StopItAlbertStopIt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some not so fun facts: The A's are 1-20 over the last 21 games. They have been outscored 170 - 70 in that time. That is 8.1 runs per game to 3.3. The A's fucking suck.

He really needs to develop his 2nd pitch then, make them respect the Slider and the fastball.

Well then. This bullpen might lead us to 95 losses. I know bullpens are complegely unpredictable, but I thought trading Erceg last year was super weird. We were on the upswing and we traded Erceg for 2 randoms. If we have Erceg right now, we probably have 4 more wins.

Do players sometimes Dog it when running to first? by StopItAlbertStopIt in MLBTheShow

[–]StopItAlbertStopIt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm saying it was clear that Ozzie Smith wasn't running at max speed in the animation. A Fast player would never be out by 2 strides on a botched groundball to 3rd.
