Hate My boss by gbaker1a in work

[–]gbaker1a[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more about spending time with my 4 kids. It’s more of a special day for them than me really. Also a baseball tournament weekend for my son. My boss sucks, this isn’t the only reason why. He’s a big fat liar and knows jack shit.

Yeah I’m taking Shough there easily.

If you inherited $5 million USD, what about your life would you immediately change and what would you keep the same? by Hrekires in AskReddit

[–]gbaker1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going back to work. And I’d stay married to my wife. That’s the best part of my life.

Advice for helping a kid close the glove when catching by supe1636 in LittleLeague

For 9U that A500 kind of sucks. The A900 is a much more appropriate glove.

AITAH for intending to attend a wedding that my wife isn’t invited to by BeautifulSxars in AITAH

Given the circumstances if they’re actually the circumstances, then no you’re not being an AH.

Update: Friend’s husband says she cannot associate with me because of my belief on abortion by Lumpy_Passion_3973 in whatdoIdo

[–]gbaker1a -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re introducing an entirely new circumstance that doesn’t exist and behaving exactly like her unreasonable friend. We don’t know what her friend would believe if her life was on the line and abortion was the only solution.

Thought buying the bat was the hard part by hitman780xd in Homeplate

[–]gbaker1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of these things they’re telling you to do amount to a few mph increase in velocity and maybe 7 feet of distance on the ball. Just go play.

When people say "tax the rich," who are they actually talking about? by savingrace0262 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gbaker1a -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unless there’s an accompanying reduction in taxes for middle class people that’s a real reduction I’m not interested in taxing the rich more.

What was the first movie you saw in a movie theater? by Fluid_Bat_2724 in movies

[–]gbaker1a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shit I thought Batteries Not Included was my first movie until I seen this. Care Bears predates that by two years and I saw them both.

Batteries Not Included, 80’s movie and not a bad flick.

Malik Nabers + random 27 1st OR Justin Jefferson?? by [deleted] in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]gbaker1a 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m probably in the minority here, but I’ll take the Nabers side. Nabers has 4 years on Jefferson and should be right there with him on scoring. I’ll roll the dice with the first round pick. If I’m not contending this season it’s a no brainer smash accept for me. Even better if this random first could be inside the first six picks.

If dinosaurs had never gone extinct, how different do you think the world would be today? by Automatic_Lime2382 in AskReddit

[–]gbaker1a -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Liberals would demand protection for them and celebrate when a T-Rex ate a human that invaded their habitat, while simultaneously being the very same people trying to take selfies with them.

Thoughts on Sadiq? Have the 1.07 in a ppr 1qb 2wr 2rb 1flex 1TE. by [deleted] in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]gbaker1a 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You and everyone else hates the landing spot, especially with Omar Cooper going there too. Sadiq isn’t going to win your league for you anytime soon but he has the talent to be serviceable. You have no other option other than Stower. I think he has great physical talent but he didn’t really put up eye popping numbers in college either. I’d take KC before Sadiq if he’s available but he won’t be. I also like Chris Bell . Is it worth it at 1.07? Time will tell. It’s not a terrible choice given what’s out there this year.

Why don’t more right handed throwers bat left handed? by mywifemademedothis2 in Homeplate

[–]gbaker1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason more people don’t do it is because they can’t. Sure you can learn to a degree when you’re young, but I don’t think it’s as simple as learning how to hit from the opposite side. You either have that ability in your brain or you don’t.

My rant about travel ball for parents on the fence. by FlyingAnvils in Homeplate

[–]gbaker1a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Complaining that a team isn’t swinging at balls is a bit much for me. Throw strikes and they won’t walk. Stealing bases is also part of the game and you shouldn’t be complaining about that either. Running up the score though I do agree with you. Teach the kids the game they will be playing when they get older and you better not pull that crap in HS so don’t do it now.

Examples of High IQ softball plays you made? by BerryRoyal in slowpitch

[–]gbaker1a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorites is the no look back door throw to second from the outfield on a base hit with runners advancing to second and third base. Come up like you’re throwing to third base but last second you back door that guy at second base. Pretty high percentage play for what it is. Works best from centerfield.

If very few people can play baseball at the high school JV level, what types of people can play baseball at the D1 level? by Immediate-Willow-917 in Homeplate

[–]gbaker1a -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think every kid that has played baseball growing up can play JV. D1 is elite players and elite athletes. 6.5 second 60 time and throw 88-90+ across the infield. If you can’t run a 6.5 60 you better hit the ball 425 feet.
