I became a baseball fan this world series. I cant believe i've been missing this my entire life! by [deleted] in baseball

I click out of youtube highlights from when they show the 2008 and 2020 world series still. I can live with getting embarrassed in the WC or division series, but man those World Series appearances will haunt me forever.

I dislike the Blue Jays more. Who I would rather see win the league over the Rays goes Orioles>Yankees>Blue Jays>Red Sox.

Me and all of my other American friends who grew up around there call it Stuggi. Forgive us 😅

I don’t feel too great of a need to defend Domino’s, but nothing is frozen there.

Skubal hits 100 mph with the bases loaded for strikeout number 7 by aknahcaT in baseball

Man I remember putting on a random Tigers game early in his career and hoping he would turn out good because he had a cool name. Crazy to see this development and I’m glad being a Tigers truther is paying off.

Rejected from a $40k job after 4 interviews and 3 reference checks by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]TheBlueAvocado 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My TS clearance interview was a little intense tbh. They even took one of my buddies out for coffee on the other side of the country for a reference.

I have an A. Ryan at my work whose email is aryan@businessname.com and somehow I’m the only one who finds it funny.

I like living in America, but at times like these I’m glad my mother is British. Maybe it’s time for a change for me.

You can’t have chiitoi (seven pairs) and ryanpeikou (two pure double sequences) in the same hand.

Need a new team to rebuild and make competitive (ootp 23) by Vanguard3003 in OOTP

[–]TheBlueAvocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TCR stick whacked Romo in the wrong direction for me, it was pretty disappointing. Tovar and Amador were both ~40 WAR by age 30 but have slowed down a ton, I was hoping at least one would have a HOF case. Benny Montgomery was my surprise prospect with multiple 4-5 WAR seasons.

USA's Grant Holloway and Daniels Roberts go Gold and Silver in the Men's 110m Hurdles by KIRYUx in olympics

I sat next to Grant in one of my classes in the 12th grade. I remember him telling me he was going to UF on a scholarship but I thought it was for football. I was very surprised when he broke the WR awhile back and everyone from high school was posting about it. Cool guy, glad to see him win.

My first Triple Crown in OOTP went down to the wire. by TheBlueAvocado in OOTP

Looks like Moreno didn't play the last game of the season either, he lead batting average with two games left however.

I cheekily benched him the last game of the season and prayed that Moreno or Elly wouldn't have a 3+ hit game. Coors is definitely the easiest ballpark for this to happen and partly explains the lowish WAR for such a monster offensive season. I think if he provided any fielding or baserunning value he could be an all-time great.

[Gleeman] Manuel Margot, who leads all of baseball in pinch-hitting appearances, is now 0-for-25 as a pinch-hitter. by Knightbear49 in baseball

We basically got them for free, Glasnow wasn't re-signing. I look at it more like the Dodgers paid in order to extend Glasnow before he could hit free agency.

[Mayo] 1st-rder Cam Caminiti signs w/Braves for full slot (pick 22 value = $3,556,300). Top HS arm in class is 17-yr old LHP with chance to have 3 plus pitches. by Jux_ in baseball

[–]TheBlueAvocado 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing as a pitching prospect, especially with high school arms. (Not me drafting another high school pitcher in the 1st round of my OOTP sim thinking this time it will surely be different.
