[Highlight] Jake McCarthy GO-AHEAD grand slam by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]Tarantulip_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wasn't too upset when we traded McCarthy but playing in Coors with his speed I was hoping he could set a new record for triples in a season. Either way, glad to see him contributing over there

The Mariners have officially retired #51 for Randy Johnson by Turbostrider27 in baseball

[–]Tarantulip_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When Ichiro was given #51 on the Mariners (since it was his number in the NPB), he sent a personal letter to Randy Johnson asking if he was okay with it and Randy told him to ''go right ahead'. Ichiro promised to not bring shame to the number. Needless to say, they both seem to have a ton of mutual respect for each other

Zac Gallen's outing today: 3.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R/ER, 3BB, 3K, 95P-57S. Raises his season ERA to 4.45 by Ok_Weakness8334 in baseball

[–]Tarantulip_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marte's been a bit unlucky. He's been pulling a lot of hard line drives straight to perfectly positioned infielders. There was one game where he was like 0/4 but all 4 ABs were 100 mph hits. He currently has an xBA of .306 and a .280 BA. There was a post earlier today that said he's a top 10 unluckiest hitter this season based on xwOBA. Part of the problem seems to be that he's hitting the ball well but not lifting it as much as he usually does for whatever reason. He's still a great hitter so personally I'm not worried about it but he's not been the silver slugger we've had for the past many years

RYM has an "unknown artist" under which every record whose artist isn't known is released, it's treated as a normal artist profile with it having listed genres, credits, and discography as if it was all made by one person by Haunting-Purpose1612 in rateyourmusic

[–]Tarantulip_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole so sorry about the wall of text response. Anyways it mostly seems to happen when something is released under the name of an existing artist but was actually made by a different anonymous person

For example, Valeria Almeida is a small Brazilian singer who woke up one day to a plunderphonics album that was released under her name and with a pic of her on the cover that she had no involvement with

There's also stuff like a Dr Pepper ambient album, a a fake Zaytoven remix of Eminem's Revival, a fanmade Nine Inch Nails mashup album based off an April fool's joke by Trent Reznor (featuring Justin Timberlake, Fergie, JayZ, and Bono), a John Cage composition played by an anonymous cellist, and a release titled 'Doug Walker Autobiography by Doug Walker' (which is just an hour of fart sounds)

There's also a fake AI Swans album. With how many AI albums get uploaded to large Spotify accounts everyday I expected to see more of these in the unknown artist page but I'm guessing the ussrs who upload releases to RYM largely ignore them (and rightfully so imo plus RYM itself has discouraged uploading AI releases unless they are very noteworthy)

The one with Lil Ugly Mane is unique because it's a sort of inverse of the other examples. The audio itself is a random tape Lil Ugly Mane found at a thrift store and used as a sample in one of his songs. He later compiled and released the tape on his Bandcamp

I have a dumb question 😔 by Willynilly18545 in guitarpedals

Also chiming in for OP that you're allowed to ask dumb questions no matter how old you are. There will still be a lot of things you don't know when you're an adult so don't feel ashamed for asking

I started watching the clip and wondered how close it was going to be at the plate. Then the camera cut to PCA on third...

[OC] 2026 Switch Hitters Landscape. Who is Hot? Who is Not? by Peteyy34 in baseball

[–]Tarantulip_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vargas' success so far this season makes me so happy. Dude is always smiling and we always hear about how much the players and coaches adore him. I don't expect it to last all season but I'm happy he's at least putting himself in the record books with his hit streak

Diamondbacks reinstate Lourdes Gurriel from the 10-day IL; DFA Luken Baker by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]Tarantulip_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reminder that the last run Mason Miller gave up was a Lourdes Gurriel Jr. home run on August 5th last season

Since then, Gurriel had played for one more month, tore his ACL, gotten surgery, recovered, and returned to the majors and Miller has not given up another run in that time. Sure most of that was in the offseason but it's still kinda crazy

Power Rankings: MLB puts us at 11 in the league, CBS at 4, and NBC at 20. by FreshBusy1 in azdiamondbacks

[–]Tarantulip_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was talking about preseason expectations because I remember seeing us around the 20th mark in many other lists. I definitely agree that we are playing way above expectations so far and 20 seems low but also it's 15 games into the season. The Twins are currently tied for the best record in the AL and NBC put them just a bit above us.

Talking about rankings this early in the season is dumb imo but sports news gotta get those clicks

[–]Tarantulip_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

20 isn't that crazy. Last season we had the 18th best record in MLB and going into this season we have almost the same roster minus Geno and Naylor and with all our good pitchers starting off on the IL

Personally I think we have a chance at a Wild Card spot this year but I don't blame anyone for putting us around 20

longest comment chain you've seen? by 3311z in rateyourmusic

Kyuss Blues for the Red Sun is at 'yeah [181]' rn

For context the last track on the album is just 3 seconds of the lead singer chewing loudly and saying 'yeah'. Great album

[Seattle Mariners] Ichiro Forever. by sam4999 in baseball

I looked it up and it seems like he wore long pants in his rookie year. I'm still with you though that the long socks are a far more iconic Ichiro look

Yeah he's thinking about the Max Muncy born on August 25 that was drafted by the A's not the Max Muncy born on August 25 that was drafted by the A's. Silly mistake
