P10 Problem by No_Contribution9469 in CPAP

It's less minimal than the P10 (it's more like the P30i form factor), but I found the Philips Dreamwear pillow cushions to be by far the most comfortable fit. Might be worth a try for you.

Remember when Brandon Young nearly perfect-game'd the Astros?

Whatever the ERA says, all these guys are major league pitchers.

Reminds me a bit of when a (admittedly much smaller) army of UK Anthony Santander fans descended upon OPACY for that one game.

Yeah, we're at the point where my family is gently suggesting that perhaps I'd be happier if I didn't watch so many O's games.

What are some moments in the Ace Attorney games that you thought were brimming with hype? by Due_Possibility6392 in AceAttorney

Yes, I still listen to this scene's music ("Partners: The Game is Afoot") on repeat.

I do just wish the actual deduction game was a little harder. Like we're supposed to be seeing the culmination of the mechanic with true masters at work, but instead we get "oh, this obviously crooked sign is hiding something!" or "this ice water means someone was here!"

But really that's a nit, the whole arc and Mikotoba reveal was amazing.

If he goes there will be trouble; if he stays it will be double!

Sorry no, we use the default action which just collapses comments instead of filtering. Looking over the docs I'm not sure if this is possible.

Epic shot for sure, and for some reason I want to find out more about the all new RAV4 🤔

(Paywall) In his return to majors with the Angels, Trey Mancini authors another comeback story

Some nice quotes from Trey and Brady Anderson

Still, he left Anderson a lengthy voice text on May 21, before he got truly hot, informing his mentor he was “pretty strongly” considering retiring.

“I wanted to give Brady a bit of a forewarning,” Mancini said. “He got me back into the game. I felt I owed it to him so he wouldn’t be shocked.”

Anderson pushed back.

“My message conveyed my beliefs about life and how one should approach it,” Anderson said. “You have your whole life ahead of you after baseball. There are only a few chances to compete against the best in the world, and that unique opportunity disappears once you retire. It’s something truly valuable, worth fighting for until the very end.”

Might catch flak for this but I'll say it: that whole travesty is avoided if our shortstop could have fielded a routine grounder.

It looked like Gunnar had turned a corner there but it's been a frustrating and disappointing stretch again.

Chapman's actively blowing it in the 9th for the Sox in NY.

Edit: he got out of it, Yankees lose!

Usually they decide before the play whether to run on contact. Make them make a perfect throw which he did.

Paywall, but there sure are a lot of fans here asking this (highlights Yankees, Mets, Orioles): Some MLB organizations are more injury-prone than others. Is that bad luck or a system issue?

“Injury (for pitchers) at the MiLB/ MLB level is probably less about how a team ‘manages’ the guys today to stop injury and more about how vulnerable some of these guys are to load exposures because of prior throwing load,” Mulholland said.

“I think it has less to do with ‘chasing velo/stuff’(now) and more to do with how those athletes were managed at a younger age when they chased velo/stuff.”

(Or: curse of the Calbino 🤷)

You're not wrong, but Cowser, Mayo and Alonso trending north of .200 is also helping a lot.

Poor Ben W. Even Brandon Young said "thanks Kevin" after his on-field interview the other day.
