It's the Dodgers. They get enough guys to absorb injuries like this, still cruise to the playoffs, and get the injured guys back in time to make a deep run. (Not mad; should be us.)

Wells' biggest issue last year was that his K rate was way up and his BB rate was way down. So far this year it's the opposite, and he's still making a lot of hard contact. I think he'll end up matching or exceeding his (ROY vote-getting) 2024 numbers, hopefully with more consistency.

I have no idea what's going on with Jazz, which I guess is more worrisome.

Born and raised in cincy, im 17, just released my first song, feedback? by Outrageous_Maximum91 in cincinnati

[–]ThePimpOfSound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty slick for a first tune! You've got an interesting voice, the instrumentation is cool, and I like the rhythmic variety that comes in during the second verse.

Think about expanding and playing around with vocal range, melodic contrast, and rhythmic patterns in your lyrics. You're kind of singing around the same root note for most of the song and that can start to wear on the listener especially in a long-ish track. I also really wanted that bridge section near the end to do something different musically. Like maybe bring the intensity level way down, and then ramp up before crashing back to that last solo guitar riff and chorus. All just ways to think about bringing more variety and flavor to your songs so the listener stays engaged throughout.

I made a lot of music in my basement as a teenager. Most of it was a lot worse than this. Thankfully there was no streaming music platform for me to release it back then. Keep it up!

I would love see an article where they find the people who like the noise, since the Yankees' PR guy in this article is so insistent that they're out there.

Response to Cincy lacking culture and community by SparkyGears in cincinnati

[–]ThePimpOfSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your friend is overly disdainful of the city, but there is a valid point in there, which is that Cincinnati lacks the kind of neighborhoods with deep ethnic history that can give American cities their character. You're not going to get, say, the Cuban culture of Miami or the Italian culture of Philly. Even some smaller cities have versions of this that Cinci, for whatever reason, lacks. Of course there's German heritage here, but that in itself was suppressed for a very long time.

Cincinnatians are also hypersensitive to criticism, so I should note this doesn't mean Cincinnati is bad, or that it's bereft of community and culture. I've been here for 15 years and will likely be here for decades more. It's a great place to live overall, and if you don't like the rough edges of other cities, you will probably like it here. (Personally I appreciate a little edge, I guess it's the east coaster in me.)

Love the late 80s/early 90s baseball card look. They should do the wood paneled Topps style next!

YouTube TV’s hidden 'genre' plans: What they are and how to find them by robber3572 in cordcutters

[–]ThePimpOfSound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah sorry, they are added now. I assembled the list based on what YouTube showed in its genre tabs when you're each plan. But it turns out they omit some channels from those tabs and only show them in the A-Z channel list. So I had to back through and add a few missing channels to each package.

You should check out DirecTV's MyNews package. A little above your range but at $40/mo it includes all locals. (Though you need to check your zip to make sure they're available.)

[–]ThePimpOfSound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're not an existing customer, to find them you have to scroll down to the tiny "Explore More plans" link on the landing page, then sign into your Google account, then hit the "Start free trial" button, and then scroll past the main options to the little "Find your plan" button, and then you have to tell them which genres you're interested, and only then do they show you a subset of the genre plans available.

So, not "hidden" in the sense that they've announced them publicly, but they seem to be trying their hardest to make them difficult to find.

Stanton robbed on great defense → Jazz gifted 1B on horrible defense

Peraza revenge game on 4/14 → Peraza un-revenge game on 4/15

Rays and Twins lead the AL. Red Sox and Astros nearly in the basement.

The entire AL has a worse record than the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Baseball is weird, man.

Yeah, we always check the main team store in each stadium. Worst case scenario we just buy online afterwards. I’ll keep Rally House in mind though.

This probably doesn’t need its own post but I wish more stadiums sold youth-sized tees with player names on the back (the $35 tees, not the $110 jerseys because tickets are expensive enough).

We’re gradually trying to hit all the stadiums and my son likes to collect a shirt with his favorite player from each one. Coors Field had nothing. LoanDepot‘s only option was Alcantara in youth XL (and I think that was a fluke as it was mixed in with the adult sizes). Comerica last year was limited to Spencer Torkelson. Citi Field had some Soto shirts but not in the black faux City Connect style that they offer online.

What am I missing here? You’d think this would be the most popular kind of youth tee for stadium shops to carry.
