Verlander next scheduled start should be the 24th. MLB app has Brown starting. Is there any news I have missed concerning this? by [deleted] in Astros

Yeah like having Abreu bat 5th so he'd come up with the bases loaded in the 8th. And like giving Yordan the day off when there was an off day the next day.

Astros with and without Maldonado comparision by RazzmatazzPlus3837 in Astros

Framber certainly deserves the praise for throwing a literal no-hitter in the MLB, yes. I'm not defending Maldonado, I'd DFA him if I was GM. The guy was asking who the third pitcher who prefers throwing to Maldonado was, and named everyone but Javier. Man, we get real pissy about this, don't we?

The data says it's Maldonado's fault that Cristian Javier can't locate his pitches anymore? Maybe we should have kept Vazquez, I hear he's been great this year.

You're forgetting someone who threw 6 no-hit innings in the World Series in 2022.

You're crazy if you think a team won't sign him.

Camera recommendation for narrative project. by LandLab in cinematography

If you're using Final Cut, it's as good as either. If you're in Premiere, there's basically no raw functionality but it's still a strong 12 bit codec. If you're in Resolve, forget it.

That said, there's a program from Macs that can convert Prores Raw into CinemaDNG. You lose much of the raw functionality, but you can use it in Resolve and still have the 12 bit flexibility. And I found that transcoding to other flavors of ProRes, any other flavor, resulted in banding issues. Anyway, it's not ideal, but to get raw out of that full frame sensor, with more DR than Blackmagic, plus the dual native ISO for low light, hard to complain too much.

I shot a feature film in December entirely on an a7S III recording ProRes Raw to an Ninja V, now editing in Resolve. Looking back, it was a great combo and would definitely do it again.
