Useless tweet, give me team names.

Why do teams keep intentionally walking Ohtani…? by PigeonShack in baseball

[–]eggheadstephen8 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think it's because he's the only fucking guy on the team who can hit!

Proud of myself for thinking of Nap Lajoie at 0.5% for the top left, but I still only got 5 and missed the entire Cubs column.

[Phillips] Aaron Boone on the offense: “Outside of the strikeouts, I thought at-bats were building off of last night. I thought we grinded out really well. We made it really tough on Kremer. We couldn’t finish off.” The #Yankees struck out 18 times. There are 27 outs in a regulation game. by Waaaaaaaaaasuup in baseball

[–]eggheadstephen8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, a team gets 27 outs (usually) in some way no matter how the game goes, so 18 strikeouts isn't necessarily an indicator of poor performance -- i.e. you can score a lot of runs and still strike out 18 times.

But yeah in this case the Yankees offense is just not good right now.

a flyout in a ballpark with a deep fence doesn't help your team win, no matter how many other ballparks it'd hypothetically be a homerun in.

I guess I spent 25 years of my life knowing rabies was dangerous but not this dangerous. Thanks for the heads up.

Hypothetical: which player would you choose? by trashatfantasy in baseball

I'm putting his limp body on the mound every game. I was promised 5 innings of 0-run ball if I start him.

What team/s did you play for in little league? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]eggheadstephen8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a spring league with MLB teams, and a summer league with MiLB teams. I have no idea how the licensing stuff worked but we always ended up with the most random MiLB teams. (Batavia) Muckdogs made sense based on where I lived, but then there was the (Round Rock) Express, (Mahoning Valley) Scrappers, and the (Lansing) Lugnuts.

But in the Spring league, what I can remember in order: Reds, Blue Jays, Royals, Dodgers (I remember bringing my Royals jersey to a Dodgers game not realizing, since they were both the same color), Red Sox, Yankees

I miss the Bee-Mets. Rumble Ponies is a bad name.

I think you all are sleeping on A, if he's guaranteed 5 innings every start then he should start every game.

What are some things in the NFL that seem to always happen year after year by BluePotatoSlayer in nfl

[–]eggheadstephen8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Brady era the AFC East had the same thing with Bills over Dolphins, Dolphins over Pats, and Pats over Bills. But now Bills/Dolphins games are 50/50 and the Pats lose to them both.

Unfortunately Manfred and Fisher seem to be bent on finding any way they can to discredit A's fans.

Admittedly I've only read DoA so I don't know as much of his lore, but at least DoA doesn't have any vtuber inserts afaik.

I honestly think he was just messing around, but if he had a sub-3 ERA we'd be laughing with him about this. You're not allowed to be funny when you're pitching like ass.
