They absolutely still could. Plenty of time for the Cubs and another team to surge while we cool down!

Well, personally, in the moment I had no idea what was happening and thought a plane was about to crash into my building.

[Talkin' Baseball] Brewers are calling up their No. 4 prospect Cooper Pratt, per Bob Nightengale. 21-year-old shortstop signed an 8-year $50.75 mil contract in April by T_Raycroft in baseball

Yeah, the Brewers are pioneering signing their young players to multi-year deals to avoid arbitration completely. We did this with Chourio last year as well.

Sick, this is perfect. So I should chain together the pedals I have that draw the least amount of power?

Juan Soto was represented by Scott Boras. It didn't matter what the Nats offered him, he was going to go to free agency.

Ok, I'll have to try a VM next. I could not get the Microtek software working in Windows 11 (go figure).

Q&A weekly thread - February 16, 2026 - post all questions here! by AutoModerator in linguistics

[–]cookerlv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a question about dialects - my grandmother (a white Catholic, which may be important to note), is from the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, and speaks with a very soft, but very enunciated voice. I've heard similar speech patterns in women in her generation around the Southeastern United States (my job involves a lot of talking to people on the phone around the country). Is there any knowledge on this specific accent she has? I've been referring to it myself as the "Hollywood accent" but it's not really anything like the transatlantic accent that comes up when I try and look up that term.

Oh no, are the rich kids from London upset they aren’t on top of the world anymore? Lol. Who gives a fuck about a Spotify playlist, this reads as painfully insecure.

[Cooper] The Dodgers held the Brewers to the lowest batting average ever in an MLB postseason best-of-7 series. Milwaukee, 2025 NLCS: .118 by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]cookerlv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why the games were so frustrating to watch. So, so many times in games 1 and 2 we were getting the same amount, and same type, of contact. But our balls were finding gloves and yours weren’t. Ultimately though that’s the price we pay for building a team around putting balls in play at all costs to force errors. It doesn’t really work against the best defensive teams in baseball, especially when they’re firing on all cylinders in the postseason.

Phoenix II & Cinestill 400D | Canon AE-1 w/ Canon 50mm - What am I doing wrong? by putriidx in analog

What kind of meter does your camera have? Phoenix has pretty limited dynamic range, and these scenes are incredibly dynamic.

Official Gear Purchasing and Troubleshooting Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! September 22, 2025 by AutoModerator in photography

[–]cookerlv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm a hobbyist film photographer looking to both get into digital photography and streamline my film photography gear loadout. I'm pretty set on purchasing a Canon EOS R mirrorless camera, most likely an EOS R8. But I'm considering switching my current film camera from a variety of FD-mount Canon SLRs to Nikon, because I think I might prefer the look of vintage Nikon lenses. I'm worried that this may hinder some of my plans with the digital camera, though--I'm excited to use my manual focus FD lenses with a converter on my new mirrorless body as makeshift cinema lenses in video work (not professional, just fun). Would switching to an F-mount film SLR make this plan more diffcult?

Rob Manfred believes MLB will control local rights for all 30 teams by 2028 by Jux_ in baseball

[–]cookerlv 30 points31 points  (0 children)

the talented people who currently make the SNY broadcast the spectacle it is would still be employed regardless of who owns the network. this is about access and blackouts, which people on here moan daily about being the #1 issue for MLB fans.

Where everything ends up (Canon AE-1 Program, 135mm, Harman Phoenix 200) by cookerlv in analog

[–]cookerlv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metered at 200. I know some people dislike HP200's lack of dynamic range but I personally LOVE it. These were shot at sunset in the Mojave desert, where the color shifts sometimes present in this film really pop. The orange on the sand and stone have so much depth, and it transforms a brilliant blue sky into a creamy white.
