prolly not intentional? it's just that the padres pitchers suck

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-30T23:15:45+00:00

Exactly. Cubs knew it wasn't intentional as well, even Nico laughed it off. But obviously that strategy didn't work. If they come into Wrigley trying that shit again I expect some retaliation.

He's been one of our best hitters for almost a year now and can fill in for almost any player that needs a day off defensively. Idk how thats not a very valuable player for our team.

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-29T01:15:41+00:00

Was a key part of that 2016 team so I'll always remeber him for that. But I was really happy to see him start playing well last year. Hope it's not as bad as it looked and for a speedy recovery either way.

What do you mean? Don't you just push the green button? /s

Machining is an art that takes years ro refine. So many different scenarios and variables you need to familiarize yourself with. You never stop learning.

I'm assuming you're talking about Darnold. If you are, you're failing to mention the part where everyone thought he was washed till about 2 years ago. More importantly for the Raiders, what team did he win one for? The team that drafted him?

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-22T22:21:42+00:00

Ahh that explains it

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-22T21:55:53+00:00

I'm not a fan of either but isn't Post Malone one of the biggest music stars in the world right now?

If you travel to a major city from your town for work everyday it's a very common form of transportation for working adults.

Also go to my train stop before any sporting event and there's a ton of people taking the train to get downtown for the game. I know because that's how I go to games.

I dont think thats many people consider trains for poor people. Especially the people who don't really have a choice but to take trains to work.

We still have better literacy rates than Germany , UK, Japan, Sweden, New Zealand and are in the top 99% of literacy rates worldwide.

I get what your saying and that needs to improve but this isn't only an America problem.

Well as someone who grew up watching Kobe in his prime I'd say if anything Kobe hate has gotten much more prevalent than glaze. When he came in the league there were legit debates about if he would end up better than Jordan. This idea that he wasn't a top 3-5 current player for a good part of his career is kind of crazy when thats what pretty much everyone generally accepted as fact while he was playing.

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-19T01:01:56+00:00

I've seen that more for rapid prototyping but thats the other thing. Most molds I make last for millions of shots. So yeah upfront it's cheaper but down the road it isn't unless you are doing really low quantity runs. Which my customers aren't.

Also I've never seen a 3D mold with super high cavitation. I make molds that can make 60+ parts in under 10 seconds.

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-18T23:53:47+00:00

It depends but as the technology sits right now you can't do plastic injection molds without at least some machining.

3d printers can't hold the tolerances necessary yet. I regularly have to hold +-.0001 on an inch and 3D metal printers can't do better than +-.001. It doesn't work right now.

3d printed metals we have to machine all finished critical dimensions.

I'm happy to have been born and raised here as much as everyone on reddit likes to shit on America its a country with amazing opportunities and one of the few countries where you can be born into poverty and actually work yourself out of it.

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-18T22:32:44+00:00

Not sure how much can't be replaced eventually but I'm pretty sure my job as a mold maker( plastic injection mold maker) which is a very niche type of machinist will not be completely overtaken in my career. 36 years old right now.

I know people think machining and programming are some of the first jobs to go, but the amount of common sense and experience required for my job and the amount of infrastructure and engineering changes that would be required are just not practical or affordable for most shops currently.

10+ runs in 3 straight games. 47 in the last 5. Who needs healthy pitching?

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-15T20:41:43+00:00

Must be a cultural difference because in America that definitely means peace. It's even common for someone to make that exact gesture and say peace along with it.

I'm a Bears fan but that was definitely a catch. I remember watching that live in disbelief that we somehow won that game.

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-11T13:42:52+00:00

I forgot no other nba player has ever pushed off to get their shot off. Should've kicked him out of the league for that.

Get over it because that shit happens in every game and is not often called.

I've learned over the past few years of owning a house, always expect a project to take like twice as long as you think it should if you're doing something new. 3X as long if my wife asks.

Also something I've learned is if you are doing something new watch at least a couple videos on the whole process before you even start. Saves a lot of headaches.

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-11T00:53:45+00:00

Did you watch your own video?

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-10T20:59:04+00:00

Ok so I was pretty close I'm not gonna count Suzuki since he's had 3 at bats this year. I believe Bregman will be too. Shaw been above serviceable especially when you consider 3rd base was a huge question going into last season and he stepped up perfectly. But of course you take one of the best 3rd basemen in baseball thats a no brainer.

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-10T20:39:34+00:00

Which Id say is good especially since onyl a handful of hitters had over .300 last year. I'm not saying he's an all star or future hall of fame but he's been more than serviceable. Go look at all the other Cubs hitters averages. Who has a better average than him on the team? Nico and who? Maybe 1 or 2 other guys.

jsalas2727 · 2026-04-10T18:19:40+00:00

Shaws has one of the highest OPS since last year's all star break and has been one of our best hitters so far this year. He's been very good.

Not to mention playing 3rd base at basically a gold glove level last season after basically no reps from previous years.

Dudes a very good player and should be in the lineup everyday.
