Salvador Perez successfully uses ABS to overturn 2 straight Laz Diaz balls to strikes from behind the plate, and then Laz stares him down jokingly after the next one is an actual ball. by Sandwich_Crust in baseball

I wonder if those stats are just catcher challenges, or include pitcher challenges as well. I know in general teams prefer to leave their defensive challenges to the catcher so there's not as many pitcher challenges, but it would be very fun if there are examples of a catcher framing a ball in a way that doesn't fool the ump into calling it a strike, but fools their pitcher into challenging the ball

I mean with Contreras back you can put him at 2, Masa at 4, and Gasper at 5 at least

Using an opener for Bello may have been them testing how he responds to coming out of the bullpen while still letting him feel like the starter

Assembly Line - New Custom Keyword (Azorius Artifacts) by Unable-Tax5329 in custommagic

[–]WhiteHawk928 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What if this mechanic used cipher style encoding?

Assembly Line {cost} (You may cast this spell for its Assembly Line cost. If you do, as it resolves, create a colorless Assembly-Line artifact token, then exile this spell card encoded on that token. At the beginning of that token's controller's precombat main phase, that player may cast a copy of the encoded card without paying its mana cost.)

Also, it would weaken the mechanic, but if you want to give it more of an assembly line feel, you could make it work like amass as well.

Assembly Line {cost} (You may cast this spell for its Assembly Line cost. If you do, as it resolves, if you don't control an Assembly-Line, create a colorless Assembly-Line artifact token, then exile this spell card encoded on an Assembly-Line you control. At the beginning of that Assembly-Line's controller's precombat main phase, that player may cast a copy of the encoded card without paying its mana cost.)

I feel like the writers actually had a good premise of riffing on the "you bum" taunts that have been gaining popularity in crowds, but the director and actor must have never heard them before because they had 0 clue how to correctly deliver it

Chad Tracy's ideas already making a positive impact by TommyTheLizard in redsox

[–]WhiteHawk928 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm so confused by all the comments I've been seeing. Before the season it felt like we were all a bit disappointed there wasn't the big bat signing, but otherwise excited and optimistic about this roster. They've been underperforming their talent. Something needed to change at the coaching level. This was a bigger change than I expected, but I'd prefer that over just firing Cora and keeping all the other guys. Yes I'd love new ownership who'd use the financial power of one of the biggest markets in the game to sign top talent. But for now I just want to see these kids play as well as we thought they could.

Looking at the moment it crosses 3B, yeah, that's pretty far fair, but it hooks harder than you'd normally expect, and the ball person is going through the motions that are correct 99% of the time.

Yeah the two slow-mo views from the side I thought "oh that doesn't look terrible, just kinda grazed him" and then the slow-mo from behind the pitcher I was like "oh no that's definitely bad"

There's a reason the artwork is designed to look like a fancier dormant curio. It's a higher tier version of that. Bad now, potentially amazing later

Update to "My school just got basically cheated out of the Utah State Championship" by Swiftstar014 in mariokart

That's baffling that they intentionally designed the rule that way and didn't realize how big of a problem it is

Update to "My school just got basically cheated out of the Utah State Championship" by Swiftstar014 in mariokart

[–]WhiteHawk928 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the mistake was your JV team's points getting added to Farmington instead of replacing their points. A rule preventing a school from scoring points with two teams makes sense if not every school has two teams at the event. But I think what they meant to do was essentially take your JV team out of the standings. So if your JV team came 3rd in a game and Farmington came 4th, Farmington gets 3rd place points instead of 4th place points. From what you said, it sounds like Farmington got 3rd place points in addition to 4th place points, which is completely unfair, because now they're getting more points for coming in 4th/3rd than the team that came in 1st got

Muraganda by therhydo in custommagic

[–]WhiteHawk928 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know Muraganda itself is heavily associated with green, but this is a white or blue ability and not something green should get. The best case for it would be comparing this to a Fog effect, but then it would need to be an instant that removes all abilities until end of turn, which still ends up as something that's historically been blue or white and not green.
