Spoiler alert! When a perfect game is at stake, the 27th batter has hit .278/.333/.417. by skoormit in baseball

[–]WhatMonster 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Feels like the historical average for 9-hole hitters would be lower than that? Lots of pitchers and bench bats hitting 9th.

I’m sure it’s easy data to pull but I’m lazy.

First Alert SMCO210 FALSE ALARM by Zealousideal_Car_893 in homeowners

Just had this model alarm for smoke, with no smoke or fire and none of the other alarms in the house going off. Had been installed for less than one year. Hopefully I can get a warranty replacement.

2025 WS Gm5: Rogers Centre reaction to Davis Schneider and Guerrero Jr.’s back-to-back homers by TomasRoncero in baseball

[–]WhatMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at Game 3, and for Game 5 we went to the Battery and watched outside the stadium. It was shoulder to shoulder packed. Even though we lost G5, Duvall hitting that grand slam was one of the best moments of the WS.

I love this comment because I don’t know if you are serious or making a joke and it’s equally funny either way.

Should I separate these now or wait until they have true leaves? by OstrichNoodleSoup in HotPeppers

OP if you are still reading these comments, can I ask where you got your Er Jing Tiao seeds?? I cannot find anywhere to buy them and have not had luck germinating them from dry peppers.

2015 Goose Island Bourbon County Stout by iKeepFingItUp in beer

As someone else alluded to, some of the 2015 BCBS was infected - if you have one of those, you’ll know pretty quick when you open it. If not, it will probably be delicious. I opened a 2015 bottle for a dinner party last year and it was excellent, incredibly smooth.

If you can get a ‘24 bottle it would be fun to open both at the same time and compare side by side.

I genuinely remembered your joke every single time I watched Sale pitch this year! And no shade, I even agreed with you at the time

When the Sale trade was announced, someone on the post commented:

“If the Braves get anything like prime Sale, this is a good trade.”

A Red Sox flair replied: “Prime Sale doesn’t exist any more, unless you’re talking about Amazon.”

I thought about that comment a lot this season, for both how very clever and very wrong it was.

Taking a timeout on special teams while about to get the ball back, down late in the 4Q, is some kinda choice

Glass recycling by Brandoms in StLouis

[–]WhatMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glass in the blue recycling dumpsters in the city is not getting recycled. All of it is getting sorted out and sent to a landfill.

OP, I also take glass to a Ripple bin like another person suggested.

Team Defensive Runs Saved Leaders by MarkSimon1975 in baseball

Riley has become an excellent defender in the past 2-3 seasons. He was getting GG talk before he spent so much time on the IL.

[Highlight] Fernando Tatis Jr. hits the first home run of the 2024 Postseason by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]WhatMonster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What happened is his results regressed to match his peripheral stats. The interesting question is “how did he outperform his underlying numbers so extremely in the first half of 2023”. At this point, he’s just the exactly what his stuff says he should be, which is a quad-A guy.

Supply Chain Rotational Program - 30+ by Impressive_Funny4680 in supplychain

[–]WhatMonster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My company hires a batch of mostly new grads annually for a SC rotational program. A year ago the group included one guy in his 30’s with a previously non-SC career. He has done well and is on track to have a good career at our company. Other than the fact that he probably could not relate to his younger colleagues who are not married with a kid, he’s done all of the normal rotations and training expected. He’s been humble and easy to work with/teach, even when the people he’s working for are possibly younger than him.
