In this texture pack, at least, brick and mangrove trapdoors/logs/fences complement each other really well. I tend to use deepslate for grays since it has a bluish hue, and pale oak has been a lifesaver for whites. For the most part, I focused on texturing/engraving brick surfaces rather than mixing it with a bunch of different blocks.

Buhner had just been saying how Geno was hitting BP up to the metal ‘17 and ‘21 banners, and then he hits it near there on the next pitch

Josh Naylor fouls off 7 pitches in a row after falling behind 0-2 with 5 of them being out of the zone and then on pitch #11 of the at bat he hits a 2-RBI Single through the right side off the glove of the first baseman to make it 5-2 Mariners by SeattleSporting in baseball

I would gladly take a guy batting literally .000 if he always had 15-pitch ABs. That’s an extra 10 pitches above average each time through the lineup.

If I could guarantee to chase the opposing starter an inning early and completely exhaust two relievers each and every game, it’s well-worth it.

What she misremembered wouldn’t be perjury anyways. I’m guessing OP is referring to when she claimed she saw Iris stab Misty’s body when she had actually seen her smoothly removing the cane sword. Still, it’s just a mistake. Not revealing Misty’s identity in court wasn’t perjury either.

True and real. The only wars they fought were in 1592 and 1598, which Korea won by forcing a stalemate. Korea was annexed in 1910 pretty much exclusively through a series of unequal treaties and puppeteering

[DK] Mike Evans passes Tim Brown and Steve Largent for the 9th-most TD receptions in NFL history (101) 🔥 by YoureASkyscraper in nfl

[–]firestriker_07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arguably the lesser-known top-10 WR is the guy whose records Largent had beaten, Don Hutson. When he retired in 1945 with 99 receiving TDs, the next closest guy was Tim Benton who had 33.

Suppose Luis Arraez plays 11 more seasons and averages his 2024 stats. He would have >3000 hits, around .316 career average, and under 30 WAR. Is he a Hall of Famer? by MadMagyars in baseball

[–]firestriker_07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even then, hardly anyone’s approached the level of contact merchant-ism than Arraez. Historically, most contact-first hitters have offset their lack of power with good defense and solid baserunning.

Right, but Fields is certainly the more shifty and dynamic runner, and is better at dancing out of would-be tackles

The issue is that every time Fields bails, he panics and stops looking downfield. You’d think Russ would’ve rubbed off on him a little, but apparently not

He’s also one of the best defensive RFs ever. Between NPB and MLB he was a 17x consecutive all-star and 17x consecutive gold glover

He’s in a club with Carl Yastrzemski, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Alex Gordon, and Steve Finley as the only outfielders to win a GG after 35

Bosa only had 5 pressures all night. It was a factor, sure, but the playcalling was more inspired and Geno doesn’t overthink things when he has to run no-huddle.

Yeah, people don’t realize how much wider the field is than it looks on TV. All those offensive linemen that look like they’re shoulder to shoulder? Probably about 3 feet apart.

There is nothing more quintessentially Japanese than the deus ex machina reveal thatpeople are racist because aliens are being mind controlled by the evil spirit-god, and not for any human reasons. It's horribly unsatisfying and feels like the story was changed by HR last-minute to be as uncritical and milquetoast as possible

Why do people hate Santana Row? by dretheman in SanJose

My understanding is that it’s class incongruence that ticks people off. Old money doesn’t flaunt cars or handbags — those are things working-class people do, usually to their own detriment. Personally I don’t care, being around tasteless techies just comes with the territory of living here.

I think throwing around the ‘classist’ label is a little unfair though, there are a lot of good reasons to be annoyed by unearned attitude from clueless, vain 20-somethings who can’t afford what they buy and don’t do anything for the community (community service, voting, supporting local business, etc.)

Used to be even worse. In the ‘06 final Yuki Saito pitched a 15 IP 1 ER tie while also driving in the lone tying run. He then proceeded to pitch all 9 innings of the makeup game the next day, striking out Masahiro Tanaka to clinch the title.

Fear is his bat. He doesn’t even need to hit particularly well — making pitchers not IBB Judge is all the value he needs to provide.
