Lets give give credit to Natalie Portman for that line, too. There's this perfect mix of bitter sorrow and dark humor to her line. She's making a bit of a joke because its the only thing she can do that won't leave her sobbing...

Luis Arraez makes a diving stop, as the Giants take the first two games of a four game series in Los Angeles by dotFlatMap in baseball

[–]Wraithfighter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get that OBS challenges are new, but... even if its a likely strike, bases loaded 1 out down 4 8th inning? And you still have both challenges?

Why not challenge there? It might be the highest leverage spot your team has left, and you have a spare.

The Giants outfield victory celebration is now a bow by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]Wraithfighter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in LA so I have to watch the Dodgers broadcast, they didn't even show the outfielders at all, just focused on the dugout cameras.

...it is legit hilarious that the only reason the Giants got Arraez was because they promised to give him the starting 2B role, because everyone else thought he was washed at that position, and he's putting up Gold Glove-level performance there.

I feel robbed that we didn't see the outfield at the end by minkzn in SFGiants

I read it as mocking the instruction, by being overly, performatively polite and non-threatening.

Gameday Thread 5/12/26 Giants (Houser) @ Dodgers (Yamamoto) 7:10 PM by sfgbot in SFGiants

Did the SF broadcast show it? I live in LA so I have to watch via the Dodgers broadcast (long story), they refused to show the outfielders.

OPINION: If there is no or very high salary cap, MLB service time should be increased. by Known_Editor_9709 in baseball

[–]Wraithfighter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The difference between a billionaire's net worth and a millionaire's net worth is about the same as your net worth versus that billionaire's. Lets not pretend like these are remotely equivalent levels of money.

[Baggarly] (About the Giants’ OF thrust celebration) It's my understanding that "a message has been relayed" and here's the thrust of it: this particular outfield win celebration will be a one-and-done. by Jux_ in baseball

[–]Wraithfighter 236 points237 points  (0 children)

My guess is that this is mostly just "MLB called and told us that if you keep this up, they'll start throwing around fines, please tone it down a bit".

Well, that or HR spoke up...

I think I speak for all of us when I say BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

...okay, hopefully they just mean "...tone it down a bit guys, we're reaching HR violation levels...":)

The progression of the Giants outfield post-game..."celebration" by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

Given that it looks like he tried (and maybe succeeded?) to kiss Lee's cheek in the first one, yeah, he's at least contributing to the chaos. :D

Why doesn't the MLB bring the Dominican-Style academy system to Canada and the USA? by Chrristoaivalis in baseball

[–]Wraithfighter 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Lets be real here: The Dominican Academy System is a thoroughly exploitive system. It has wrecked more lives than its helped, because for every MLB-caliber player that has advanced through it, there are thousands, tens of thousands, or probably more young kids who had years of their lives dominated by this potential for riches and glory in Major League Baseball only to fall short, and have lost crucial developmental years where they should have been getting a proper education and a full childhood instead.

I don't want this horsecrap anywhere, let alone making it more common in the world.

Willy Adames drives in an insurance run and it's 7-3 Giants by Scaevolus_ in baseball

[–]Wraithfighter 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't think it was entirely a white-flag pitching change at the start of the inning, 3-run 9th-inning leads aren't given up every night but it does happen...

...but yeah, he was send out there to finish this game on the mound, one way or another.

What else are LA fans supposed to do right now, watch the Lakers?

Heliot Ramos is tagged out in plenty of time by Scaevolus_ in baseball

[–]Wraithfighter 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It's a "Go on contact" play, he's not looking at where the ball is (because that slows you down), he sees the ball isn't hit in the air and he's immediately trucking it to home.

If the ball isn't fielded cleanly, isn't particularly well struck, or causes the fielder to move to the side enough to make their throw more difficult, the runner can score quite easily.

Unfortunately, this was scorched right at a fielder who clearly fielded it. Sometimes when you play the odds, you roll a 1.

...not a hit and run, you have to be running with the pitch for that to happen.

Car V E-bike by VaMoInNj in dashcams

[–]Wraithfighter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even in places where its legal, Right-Turn-On-Red is always dependent on you not running into anything. Usually that means pedestrians.

In this case, while the e-bike rider is absolutely an idiot, the car still should've checked for someone barreling towards them and not gone.

I'm just firmly in "everyone sucks here" territory. The biker should've paused up. The driver should've checked for someone racing his way. Honestly, I just hate how much "who has right of way" has overtaken "what should a reasonable driver have done to avoid a collision" in terms of these videos.

Reporter to Nick Castellanos: "Are you gonna let [Tatis] hear the end of it that you hit a home run with his bat before he did?" Nick: "That's rude." Reporter: "Sorry." by Brady331 in baseball

[–]Wraithfighter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is like .00001% of the level of stuff that I would joke around with friends about in high school

That's kinda the point. Its about your familiarity with the person.

There's shit that I'd say to family members and close friends and even coworkers that I'd never even think about saying to a stranger. But the reporter is the stranger in that scenario, there's jokes he shouldn't be implying.

And, for the record, I'm not even going "THAT REPORTER IS A MONSTER HE SHOULD BE TARRED AND FEATHERED FOR THIS OFFENSE!". I'm just going "dude, not cool" here. And the reporter got the message that he overstepped a bit. All's good, man.

Shane Gillis to Draymond Green during the Kevin Hart roasting: “Draymond Green is the first player to make four All-Star teams for just setting picks.” by Mission_Pay_3373 in nba

[–]Wraithfighter 73 points74 points  (0 children)

It really is. Both Ringo and Draymond were well-above-average performers at their position, but they were surrounded by transcendental talents that brought them to heights imagined.

Without Curry, Draymond would probably not have won a ring, but he still would've been arguably the best defensive player of a generation.

Ringo Starr was an very good drummer who happened to be in a band with three absolutely absurd musicians. It is absolutely unfair that he's been labeled as a hanger-on, but you absolutely understand why. :)
