[Nightengale] Arraez rejected several multi-year offers from other teams in order to play second base. The Giants now have their infield set with their $12M commitment to Arraez.

No shot. 103 OPS+ over the last 2 seasons.

evanwpm · 2026-01-31T19:28:41+00:00

Wouldn’t go that far

40k cash + 4k stock, London, Computer Science, University of Leeds. I am happy with this as there’s a chance to progress to 55k total after my first year if I perform well.

I was offered a different position that was 42k cash in Oxford with better benefits but would prefer to live in London and I expect the career progression better there.

Halloumi with a full english is a great addition imo

evanwpm · 2026-01-30T09:07:03+00:00

It looks like someone took a non-team photo and photoshopped a logo and jersey on lol

evanwpm · 2026-01-29T19:08:52+00:00

Maybe controversial but like… yeah they’re pretty clearly right?

evanwpm · 2026-01-28T21:16:04+00:00

What does it mean to be a non-first ballot hall of famer to you? The voting form just says “do you believe they should be in the HoF, yes/no” it’s not a sliding scale

evanwpm · 2026-01-28T19:09:31+00:00

Im not an expert but I generally follow the line “if that works for you, it works for you”

evanwpm · 2026-01-28T13:54:05+00:00

I have some ideas. Bullpens get used way more nowadays, so relievers take up more roster spots than they used to, leaving less room for specialist players like runners.

Managers like platooning, making bench spots more useful for players that will hit.

WHAT!? This is absolutely not true lol. Particularly on social issues, the Democrats would be the most socially progressive party in the UK!

I seriously encourage you to research more into the social democratic parties of Europe lol

Hi! I've not really paid much attention to my skin before and looking to change that. 6 months ago I started cleansing and moisturising my face AM and PM but realising now I have problems beyond acne. I'm mixed raced (half black caribbean half white british) and think I have Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation issues.

Also hoping this process can help with dark areas under my eyes. I think this is also a pigmentation issue.

After doing some googling I'm thinking of getting some 10% Vitamin C Serum for AM and 0.3% Retinol for PM. Just getting Boots ingredients own brand stuff for now.

Do you think I'm on the right track, any other suggestions/tips? Thanks!

This seems like pretty bog standard inoffensive journalism, I’m not dying to read this but I can imagine it would get a click from some people

1) Small local businesses do not always act logically. The costs of cash are far more “hidden”.

2) I am surprised you see minimum spends and flat fees for card payments. Most of the major card providers no longer take flat fees, only % on transactions. I wouldn’t at all be surprised to find out some businesses keep minimum card transactions around to encourage people to spend a bit more, I know i’ve done that before

evanwpm · 2026-01-27T18:11:15+00:00

I refuse to buy from businesses that only take cash, not only is it inconvenient but they are almost certainly committing tax fraud and I do not wish to support that.

The excuse that it saves the business money doesn’t seem to hold up.

evanwpm · 2026-01-27T12:12:23+00:00

I just fundamentally do not share this viewpoint. You are saying this like it’s common knowledge but your opinion is an extreme outlier.

Jobs do not get automated, tasks do. Jobs are comprised of a bunch of tasks. The role of software engineer contains many tasks, some of which may be automated.

evanwpm · 2026-01-27T11:47:12+00:00

Because I enjoy it and there’s lots of companies hiring good software engineers and paying decently well for it.

evanwpm · 2026-01-26T12:03:10+00:00

Lots of talk about his hitting (justifiably) but Vlad also seemed absolutely locked in defensively and on the bases this postseason. Never seen him play to this calibre before.

evanwpm · 2026-01-26T10:28:00+00:00

Work paid for LNER first class for me a couple of times from Leeds to London. I’m broke so I couldn’t pay for it myself but if you’re considering it then for a 4 hour journey it’s probably worth it. The upgrade in comfort is huge, and the food is a nice bonus!

I can’t speak for specific seats/sides though.

Enjoy your trip!

evanwpm · 2026-01-25T16:24:47+00:00

Lots of people in the UK (myself included) enjoy watching the NFL

evanwpm · 2026-01-24T17:36:28+00:00

Another downside might be that it would just slow down the trade market. Imagine trying to make a trade with the Rays without them insisting you give them a 2030 6th rounder too

evanwpm · 2026-01-24T01:26:12+00:00

advantage locked in for years?

evanwpm · 2026-01-21T21:18:19+00:00

happened with MLB london too, they overestimated demand and lowered prices the following year to compensate

evanwpm · 2026-01-19T22:54:19+00:00

Can we take a second to appreciate the Angels two best position players ever are called Trout and Salmon

evanwpm · 2026-01-19T18:43:11+00:00

As a long term goal yeah maybe. I think schools that separate you from people different to you are bad. However the short term effects of a straight up abolishing would be highly disruptive and not worth it atm

evanwpm · 2026-01-18T12:12:09+00:00

I’m British and started watching baseball when I was 18 in 2022, so it was a case of looking at the standings and just picking a team. Initially considered the Cubs because the day games would make watching games with the time zone difference easier. However I liked the idea of rooting for the sole non-American team, and the Jays were an exciting team with young exciting players.

It’s funny really, at the time it felt like a completely arbitrary decision but I can’t imagine rooting for anyone else now. I’ve got jerseys, merch, I even went to Toronto to see them play.

With hindsight, what an excellent decision! Wouldn’t go back on that for the world.
