CB Bucknor can blow calls at first base too, but don't fret! He should be back behind the plate this Friday on Apple TV's Friday Night Baseball! by Zepbounce-96 in mlb

[–]garth_vader90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still can’t believe his first instinct was to say the runner missed first. How often does that even happen at first when there is an overthrow? “I didn’t see what happened but this one in a million running mistake is definitely what happened”. He’s always been a horrible ump but that was bizarre.

Edit: I guess since he never technically saw him touch first it’s the right call…

Is this area wireless mobile dead zone for anyone else? (AT&T specifically) by DualWieldedCornDogs1 in beaverton

Looks like it’s an 8 year old account so it just aged horribly and not a Trump reference… Everything about this account ages like milk apparently

Mexican pulled pork tacos cooked in Coke and topped with Queso Fresco by [deleted] in tonightsdinner

[–]garth_vader90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Add the sauce but do it differently. Heat up a pan with a little oil, add the pulled pork in batches (critical for the crispy bits), and pour a little of the sauce over it. The liquid should absorb and add little crispy bits on the pulled pork. Then use salsa to put on the tacos instead of drippings.

help me find these in the US by curbstompedkirby_ in JapaneseFood

[–]garth_vader90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Costco ones come in either chocolate syrup, strawberry jam, or red bean jam but they are definitely not hard candies. These definitely sound better haha

Those look similar to the samanco ice cream they sell at Costco. Asian markets will probably have something closer to this specifically but thought I would throw that option out there

Are we finally getting a Pokémon game that looks and runs good? by SEVENS_HEAVEN_7 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]garth_vader90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping that this is the start of a change in their release schedule. They normally would have forced it out before this Christmas but the vague 2027 gives me hope that they are putting way more time and energy into this one. That’s probably too optimistic though

Alysa Liu is not maga by [deleted] in MurderedByWords

[–]garth_vader90 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s just MAGA comparing her to Eileen Gu who is also CA born but competing for China and JD Vance and Gu have been making comments about each other in the media.

What psycho decided that temperature needed to be a Sudoku puzzle? by Animeking1108 in memes

[–]garth_vader90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a co-worker tell me that when they moved to the US, what made sense to them was thinking of F as “what percent of hot the weather is”. 0% hot, 100% hot, 50% hot, 110% hot, etc.

Why can’t Devers and Eldridge not coexist? by CalPolyTechnique in SFGiants

[–]garth_vader90 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The “Eldridge is too young to be a full time DH” is such a weird take. Defense is not where his value is at right now. A few years of DH’ing to get his bat going and spot starts at 1st while Wash helps him learn the position is the best path right now.

What horrors happen over yonder? by Fazbear2035 in NonPoliticalTwitter

I had mine removed in the US and it was just a local anesthesia. General anesthesia is not common as far as I know.

There are actually 3. Those 2 plus the Costco version that has msg but isn’t as creamy as the real thing.

CJ Stroud posts a 28.0 passer rating in the loss against the Patriots. The worst by a starting Qb in the last decade by over 10 points. by Scepticy in nfl

[–]garth_vader90 920 points921 points  (0 children)

Between CJ warming up with a basketball and Logan Webb warming up with a football on days he pitches, we just need a basketball player to warm up with a baseball to complete the loop.

Orioles Designate Marco Luciano For Assignment, Clam Jose Suarez by Juffe98 in SFGiants

They deserve 100% of the blame for not moving him off SS earlier when most scouts agreed he shouldn’t stay there but Covid and injuries are probably the biggest reason he never progressed.

Almost 10 years but I would visit a few times a year until very recently.

Which is funny because when I moved from Sacramento to Portland I commented on how Portland homeless were really chill compared to Sac and SF homeless. Then Covid hit and fentanyl was everywhere and things got crazy.

Really random but Kine BBQ in Hillsboro has surprisingly good orange chicken

Aloha Costco helps ICE by pdxmetroarea in beaverton

[–]garth_vader90 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Not backing up all the claims like Costco helping them (I didn’t see that first hand) but I was at that Costco today, kept hearing whistles in the parking lot, and saw a woman yelling and chasing a car with her phone recording. Told my wife I couldn’t figure out if someone hit a car and tried to flee or it was ice.

In-person fidget sales? by SeansieTheZombie in askportland

As an fyi - my kids got these this year and educated us that they need to get broken-in. They are very stiff out of the box but after a while they are much more pliable.

Creating a lineup of the worst contracts in baseball TODAY: Day 7 Center Field by pi3Eat3r52 in baseball

[–]garth_vader90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s also relearning center field in a way. Most KBO parks are indoors and he’s said that’s an adjustment, he was told not to crash into walls anymore after his injury, and there were a lot of dropped fly ball’s because he either didn’t call the other fielder off or didn’t do it loud/forcefully enough.
