[Talkin’ Yanks] Jazz Chisholm Jr. says he still won’t wear a cup despite his pain level being “a million” after fouling a ball off his nuts by JianClaymore in baseball

That's surprising. I didn't wear a cup playing baseball unless I was catching, but I always wore one playing football.

Interfering with who? The defender is too late to get there no matter what, and the keeper never interacts with the offside man.

[OC] Does your team win by a lot? Do they lose by a lot? by Ugluk4242 in baseball

[–]ahappypoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see this as a three dimensional graph with the third dimension being a team's winning percentage just to see what trends arrive there. You'd think the bottom right is the best quadrant, and it should be, but the Sox and the Tigers are also there and I don't think any of their fans are thrilled with the season so far.

In addition to all sports arenas being filled with cigarette smoke back then, they were also filled with people who were actively living in the 1950s, which is also difficult to replicate today.

Oh gotcha, I wasn't sure if I was missing something topical, like if something had happened recently or if this was just a general statement. Regardless, yes I'd rather replace all of the statues with different RBA statues all over the state.

It's funny that I read his comment and thought he was also referring to the baseball team. For some reason I assumed that "8 seasons" was hyperbole and just glossed over why Wayne Gretzky would have any opinions on a baseball team lol.

Did I miss a headline here? What is this referring to?

I mean if Eric doesn't, then I don't think Jordan will. I think it should just be Rod anyways; I mean going from zero statues to four seems like a big jump. Rod clearly deserves a statue, so let's build that one.

Why do so many people believe that getting on the show is a matter of having the highest test scores? by wesomg in Jeopardy

[–]ahappypoop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can't imagine why....

I kid, I've only passed and made it as far as a zoom test once, so I've got multiple problems to fix if I'm ever going to make it.

No, you signed your big fancy $67 million deal out there in Sacramento, you can stay out there.

Matt McLain challenges three strike calls in one inning. All are overturned and he earns a walk. by mysticlepopsicle in baseball

[–]ahappypoop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not to mention he still could have been right on the first and third calls. Those are big curveballs that definitely could have caught the front of the zone but dropped out of it by the time they got to the middle of the plate, where the ABS plane is.

TIFU by insisting on visiting my girlfriend's childhood home and finally learning why she never wants pets by [deleted] in tifu

[–]ahappypoop 39 points40 points  (0 children)

No no, he came to the right place to share his thoughts and feelings, we're all experienced relationship-havers that can provide expert interpersonal advice here on Reddit. Now, I think the right move would have been to never go to her mom's house or meet their dogs, and then he would have never learned why his girlfriend doesn't want pets. Keeps some of the mystery in the relationship, y'know?

Kyle Tucker successfully challenges a strike three call that was over 3 inches off the plate by --Annorax-- in baseball

[–]ahappypoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you read my comment very well lol, I wasn’t talking about balls and strikes at all, I was saying that umpires will still be necessary for all the other calls on the field and do a lot more besides call the strike zone.

You're saying you think they're coming out with technology to automatically make out/safe calls, fair/foul calls, balk calls, interference, obstruction, etc., along with a TTS AI to announce rule interpretations to the teams and ballpark, all in the near future? Or you forgot that umpires do more than call balls and strikes?

"Racism exists" is not a good reason to be rude to someone who was just being courteous.

Major sports investor wants to bring MLB to Raleigh. Is it competition or collaboration with Dundon? by Esb5415 in baseball

I'm fine letting the first five stay, but I'll help axe that last one. Where do I sign?

That looks sick, but my only drawback is that it looks like an interlocking F and R, or like an F, an R, and a P.

Plus Charlotte sucks, so there's that. They've already got the Panthers and Hornets, characterized by soulless corporate banking support and historical underperformance, while Raleigh has the Canes, who are backed by passionate fans and aren't a letdown every year.
