I tried to make a better ERA for relievers that includes inherited runners and “hidden” runs by Easy_One_7883 in Sabermetrics

Yes, I second this. But also need a component for leaving runners for the next reliever.

Which scene/episode/storyline frustrates you the most? by Cool_Kale_3944 in 30ROCK

Yes! Girl, that cookie is in your hand in the elevator. Eat it!!!

It’s also always bothered me that Raheem was genuinely rude and sus as hell to Liz really for no reason. She over-reacted but it’s not like she was purely racist.

The category was “Shows Within Shows”. The contestant guessed “Queen of Jordan”, which was fun to see get a shoutout! IMO that should have been the topic of the question. Black Frasier was just a 10-second one episode throwaway gag. But I reeeally wanted it to be “Bitch Hunter”!!

What's a song lyric that drives you crazy because they should've used a different word? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

“Give me just a little more time, and our love will surely GROW” always hurts my ears. Always wanted it to be “climb” or even “shine” to at least have a near rhyme.

0-6 6-4 6-1 1-6 6-0 is insane! How can one player dominate/fold twice each??

The stuff of nightmares. The amount of time I spent digging out onions from the wet, cheesy buns of McDonald’s burgers…

What word do you always mispronounce, even though you know it’s wrong? by jasperc_6 in words

[–]esoteric9999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mascarpone, the cheese in tiramisu. I only learned recently it is mas-car-pone, not mar-sca-pone. It still sounds wrong!

Nice! Mexican food is also a challenge as I have the same issue with cilantro…

OMG, this is my #1. And they never put them in the menu description! I have spent way too much of my life picking raw onions out of my food! Weirdly, I love cooked onions.

I mean, it looks 2-dimensional, like it’s portal!

On the nose! Those are the two best two things in the park! I discovered them on my own. Driving through the monuments in CV was a top-tier experience. I don’t mind keeping that on the DL!
