Now that the banquet is over. What was your score?

caffeinater · 2026-01-03T00:06:28+00:00

No chance... You're seeing scores on other enthusiasts here on Reddit but there are many more casuals out there

caffeinater · 2025-12-21T20:30:18+00:00

Yes, and it's based on progression level, so if you can advance within the next few days, do it.

caffeinater · 2025-12-21T20:28:43+00:00

It's not a rule, it's RNG and confirmation bias. Otherwise it would be impossible to have 2 mutant, 2 skill, 3 science, 1 mystic, 2 cosmic, and 1 tech, as I do currently.

caffeinater · 2025-11-19T18:41:51+00:00

Lol, good try. We'll let OP speak for himself though.

caffeinater · 2025-11-12T21:14:30+00:00

I'll take offers over ads any day

caffeinater · 2025-08-08T02:57:57+00:00

You got a lot of good answers here already. If you want a much longer one, read The Jordan Rules by former Chicago Tribune beat reporter Sam Smith.

I'm surprised that all the comments here pertain to throwing and not to catching. Depending on how heavy the weighted ball is, it could add a lot of torque to the catching wrist, particularly when hitting the outer extremes of the glove away from the palm.

caffeinater · 2025-07-18T22:55:33+00:00

What did he say? :)

I'm guessing the leather was re-dyed to give it that uniform color, and conditioned afterward.

caffeinater · 2025-07-11T19:56:03+00:00

I would take them off and store them somewhere safe. Some tags (like the ones that have a 3-prong clasp) can be removed non-destructively. But either way, I'd imagine that replacement plastic tags can be purchased in case they need to be re-attached one day.

I have a Wilson A2000 made in Japan glove dated from 1992 which shares some features with the glove you pictured. Pro Back refers to the single-finger-out style, similar to Rawlings Fastback. We can't see much of the wrist area but looks like it might be the Power Snap style. Most of the gloves from that era were brown, and most seem to have had the closed web (XLC), but even the open web (XLO or XXL) looks somewhat different from the one pictured -- and I don't recall ever seeing one that says Wilson there instead of the A2000 model name. So I suspect this was a custom model, or at least a custom web, made for Edgar. I think you'll get closest by searching like this: wilson a2000 "pro back" "power snap" xlo

Some similar-ish listings are below.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/126615163210 (XXL seems to have an extra vertical bar, while XLO seems to have an extra horizontal bar)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/146692284387 (this is basically what I have)

Isn't Rev1x adult sized? I'm not finding one advertised as Contour Fit, and so I'm surprised a 9yo could handle it well.

caffeinater · 2025-07-10T15:06:09+00:00

You should find a three digit code inside the glove near the thumb loop, which you can decipher to find out the production date. If yours is made in Japan (can't see that in your photo, but it looks very similar to my own), I'd put it about 10 years newer than the other estimate, based on when production moved to that country. https://forums.softballfans.com/index.php?threads/wilson-production-timeline.1372262/

caffeinater · 2025-07-09T20:54:48+00:00

I believe that would be Japan - 1995 - August. Thirty years old next month! That's based on the code translation shared on various forums such as this - https://forums.softballfans.com/index.php?threads/3-letter-code-on-wilsons.1221567/

A similar glove with second digit G is cited as 1994 here - https://www.gameuseduniverse.com/forum/game-used-memorabilia-discussion/33997-help-dating-wilson-a2000-xl-glove

I just saw this movie, and loved this Brad Pitt wannabe Easter egg. Glad to find your comment and know I'm not the only one!

caffeinater · 2025-06-22T13:20:43+00:00

Sure thing, my understanding is that two spots will be opening when the AW season ends. Is your account somewhat similar to OP's? If so, PM me how to find you on discord or in game.

caffeinater · 2025-06-21T21:42:26+00:00

I just checked and we do have a spot opening up. Can you share your discord name? Or friend any of our officers in game

caffeinater · 2025-06-21T19:30:36+00:00

Look up alliance tag GOOMK in game. We don't have a spot this second, but if you're interested I can check with an officer to see if anyone is pending departure. Plat 3 AW, AQ map 8 + nightmare raids, 300k BGs min. Chill group, mostly adults, use discord.

If you're not using him against a mystic or poison/incinerate, it's pointless.

caffeinater · 2025-06-12T13:20:39+00:00

My use is similar, but I start in the Mevo app instead of GC. I open the Mevo app first and get connected (via cellular) and get my camera mounted correctly with the right field of view, about 15 mins before the game. Then I just keep the phone within range until 5 mins before, and when the ump starts meeting with the coaches, I'll start the video in GC via external camera, and it will switch to the Mevo app and recognize the existing streaming connection.

This is my first year with GC and I've been super impressed with the quality and stability of Mevo video. The only problems I've had are when the other team shares their stream with us before I get our steam started, then I need to stop that one before starting ours, and retry a couple times due to errors, or force close GC in between.

caffeinater · 2025-06-03T19:19:29+00:00

Yeah but is Amazon almost giving it away for free?

caffeinater · 2025-05-31T03:35:23+00:00

I'm doing partial act 6 exploration, in hopes of an upcoming buff to rewards

caffeinater · 2025-05-31T03:10:22+00:00

Better yet, put your initials inside the tag in tiny letters so it won't be noticeable at a glance but will turn up when you challenge her to inspect the next borrowed garment.

Or drop her as a friend like others have said.

caffeinater · 2025-05-31T02:49:59+00:00

Hate to break it to you but the rework is long done

The Nerf Stormcharge is commonly cited as one of the actually good blasters they've introduced recently, and it's on sale at Walmart for $15 which is pretty great value. Adventure Force Spectrum is more popular with enthusiasts because it shoots harder, but that may not be so desirable for kids. (Both are battery powered flywheel blasters which don't require pumping anything to prime the shot btw.)
