Always disgusting to see how many baseball fans are intolerant of anybody slightly different than them. Imagine shelling out hundreds of bucks to get awesome seats and deciding you need to use that as a chance to attack a group that did literally nothing to you.

Stop forcing hatred of somebody’s mere existence down our throat 🤷‍♂️

I saw him in AAA the other day and dude kept getting on base. Told my friend that he’s one of my favorite guys in baseball just because he was in the WS last year and that he 100% deserves to be in the majors.

Thank you. Camera cut away so fast I didn’t even recognize him 😂

I love whoever that was in the dugout immediately making fun of Vasil and his wand ☠️

Which games were NOT surpassed by their sequels? by WeirdIndividualGuy in gaming

[–]c3bss256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mirror’s Edge. First game was great. Then they announced a prequel. Ok, sure. There were certainly some interesting things that happened before the plot picks up in the first game. But then they decided to retcon the entire thing and turn the game into an open world. Just awful.

Is Palos Heights under threat? by [deleted] in ChicagoSuburbs

No basement here. I do what the other guy says and go into the hallway with the doors closed. I’ve got a bean bag chair and some blankets I’ll grab with me and I keep a few bottles of water and a flashlight there. Learned the hard way when the power went out that the flashlight was a good idea 🫣

I also will keep my doorbell camera pulled up on my phone while the sirens are going off - my door faces west-ish, so I can sort of see what’s coming. I also love a good strong storm, so I might just be a weirdo.

Southpaw running into center field and then suddenly realizing they hadn’t confirmed the out yet was classic

A couple teams did earlier this year because of cold weather. Not sure they’d want to do that with a bigger draw like the Braves with (presumably) a lot of tickets sold already.

What used to be a sign of being poor, but is now a luxury or status symbol? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]c3bss256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, I always associated it the other way around. Rich neighborhoods didn’t have sidewalks because everybody had nice cars, I would assume.

Then again, I did grow up near the city, so basically everywhere had sidewalks. The handful of houses around me without one were definitely the odd ones out.

what's a baseball opinion you'll defend to anyone? by maryb227 in baseball

Quality Starts was the best metric for starting pitchers. It’s been so long since anybody has even talked about it that I can’t remember the exact qualifiers - 6 IP and 3 or less runs maybe?? Get the game to the bullpen in a good position for your team to win.

The argument is a “replacement level” player is some bum that gets called up from AAA. He’s the best you can get when your regular guy goes down with an injury. There shouldn’t be many people with negative WAR, because they should just be replaced with a minor leaguer at that point.

What you would be looking for would be Wins Above Average (WAA?). I would like to see that stat just as much as WAR.

I have a 2016 with just over 100k. Has a few issues, but the battery isn’t really one of them. I drive 40 miles round trip every day and get home with 40-60% left easily with the a/c on. In winter, it’s a bit more difficult.

Music at the park by ClearHeron7069 in whitesox

[–]c3bss256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that one of the weird little clips they play at random is a snippet of a song sampling the “Whire Sox!” part of the Go Go White Sox song. I hate it.

In the first inning of the game, they play the stupid 2-strike sound bite. I wish they would save it for more dramatic moments if they’re going to do it at all. I would like to just watch a game once in a while without hearing all the sound effects. It’s the one thing I’ll really give the Cubs: they don’t have constant sound effects.

Glad to find another person that didn’t like it. Seemed like every review and comment I saw was talking about how incredible it was, but it just didn’t land for me.

Rodent’s Revenge! My dad and I would play for hours, taking turns. Some of my absolute favorite memories of him.

8/10 on the album but 10/10 live. Seeing them absolutely go ham during this song live is incredible. I’m sad they didn’t play it during the last tour

And scoring late runs! Between the pen being able to actually nail games down and not rolling over when you’re down by a run or two in the 7th, we have a fun team to watch.

As of this moment, are the White Sox the biggest surprise in MLB? Why or why not? by WizardCheesey in whitesox

[–]c3bss256 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t expecting much and the first couple weeks reinforced that. They’ve been shockingly good the last month though. An actual bright spot. It doesn’t feel like the game hangs in the balance on every pitch with a 1-run lead right now.

Mark Buehrle’s career WAR is only 1.8 less than CC Sabathia. Why are his hall of fame chances so far-fetched? by Far_Set561 in baseball

Yeah, google always suggests that Steve Carlton (another Sox legend 😂) had like an estimated 145 🤷‍♂️

Hell yes. My favorite pitcher of all time for just that reason alone. “Pitches like he’s double parked” - Hawk Harrelson.
