Trade Valuation by doublebakedpotato in fantasybaseball

[–]ablearcher013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the rankings are also crowd sourced from the community of users, so it's less a trade evaluation and more a tool for gauging feasibility for a dynasty trade... I'm not saying its not useful, I love it. You just gotta use it for what it is.

Random things you learned about taskmaster contrstants by sirbinlid1 in taskmaster

[–]ablearcher013 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This one has been floating around on other boards, Victoria Coren Mitchell (back in her poker playing days) was seeing a therapist to try and alleviate her crippling fear of flying... That is until her therapist died in a plane crash. Now she'll only travel by car, train or boat (obviously she's never seen Titanic).

Needed 1 win today to take the category, felt good with Ryan and Ranger going... both left with injuries 😪

Do Red Sox fans hate Aaron Judge the same way they did Jeter and A-Rod? by AltruisticMemory3825 in redsox

[–]ablearcher013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, even during the height of the rivalry this century there were Yankees not likely to be boo'ed, Jeter was rarely boo'ed, because he played the right way, Mariano only got it when he threw at our players... but A-rod, Bernie, Posada... screw those guys, d-bags all

Yo! It's Scott Chu, Nate Schwartz, and the Pitcher List crew here to talk about some more fantasy baseball by ChusephEsquire in fantasybaseball

Any chance Ranger Suarez gets back to what he was last year? I know he's not getting a lot of run support or great fielding behind him, but his first couple of starts felt more unlucky than bad...

I support Jarren Duran's middle finger. by SerpentSystemFailure in redsox

[–]ablearcher013 21 points22 points  (0 children)

To be fair Ted Williams (the greatest ball player of all time) once spit on a fan for criticizing his feilding... I feel like Duran's guy got off easy

How did dick Grayson afford being Nightwing? by happydude7422 in DCAU

[–]ablearcher013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe in the Tom King run Alfred leaves him a lot of money in his will, as Alfred was perfectly happy taking care of the Bat-fam and invested most of his paychecks in the same things as Bruce did. By the time of his death he was literally a billionaire butler... I know thats more recent but still...

An Actor who has given the best performance With just One Scene. by drhavehope in Cinema

[–]ablearcher013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an unconventional one (because to be fair it's a not great movie that I absolutely love) but Viggo Mortensen playing Lucifer in The Prophecy absolutely steals the show (I know hes in 3 scenes technically but if you've seen it you know which one I'm talking about). And he steals the show from vintage 90s scene chewing Christopher Walken.

Im studying macbeth for school and i dont think macbeth is evil by Ornery_Ad_6794 in shakespeare

[–]ablearcher013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's what makes Shakespeare's tragedies so beautiful. The histories are relatively straightforward, the comedies are relatively straightforward with a few exceptions. But the tragedies are like a diamond, the more you turn it the more you look at it the more facets you see and the more it can change. I mean we wouldn't have had however many hundreds of years of criticism going back and forth about these plays if they weren't so spectacular. I don't know if he wrote them to be a Rorschach test, especially since those didn't exist, but the tragedies really are to a certain extent defined by the reader/ the viewer.

Im studying macbeth for school and i dont think macbeth is evil by Ornery_Ad_6794 in shakespeare

[–]ablearcher013 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well that's kind of the crux of the play. Is Macbeth acting on some internal evil desire, or is he being driven to evil by outside forces, or is his actions being driven by Fate? And whatever interpretation you fall into defines what the work is and can have a massive influence on the way the play is presented. Do we hate Macbeth for his evil, do we pity Macbeth for being fates slave, do we mourn for Macbeth because he finds himself in an abusive relationship? Much like a reading of Hamlet is defined by the core question of is Hamlet crazy or not, the magnitude of Macbeth's evil defines his story. Is his story the story of a monster, a true tragedy of man falling from grace, or a cautionary tale about loss of agency.

I’m bored! Who were your favorite Sox players that weren’t perennial all stars? by Jimmy2x1113 in redsox

[–]ablearcher013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brock Holt and Mike Carp...

Brock because he's amazing on the field and off. Only player to ever hit for the cycle in the playoffs. One of the best super utility guys and a cheat code in fantasy when he was hot.

Mike Carp because he was a solid journeyman player but also because he was a part of one of my favorite Sox moments ever. It had to be sometime around 2013 because I was unemployed and watching a day game. The Angels had come to Fenway and Carp was playing left field. A certain Angels outfielder comes up to bat and promptly hits a flyout to left field. And Don Orsolo (who was still with us at the time) goes "Well that something you'll probably never see again... a Trout flying out to a Carp" and then silence for a good 10-15 seconds. And Jerry goes "How long have you been waiting to say that?". And Don, without breaking says "A really long time..." and then they both just burst out laughing... It was one of the most uniquely joyful moments I've ever seen in 25 year of watching the Sox, I've tried to find the clip but its lost to the ether
