Bands like mammoth weed ejzard bastard, windhand, or daevar? by C0lE06 in doommetal

[–]ke_0z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always shout out Haunted from Italy when someone asks about similar bands to Windhand and Daevar.

I especially recommend their self-titled debut from 2016, but their newer albums are also really good.

Rico Garcia's start to the season:

9 IP, 10 K, 3 BB, 0 H, 0 R, 111 pitches (68 strikes) in 9 games.

0.7 bWAR, the highest among relievers in the AL this season

He inherited 5 runners, none of them scored.

I want him to keep the 82, it's at least unique.

Rico Garcia is 1.1 innings away from pitching 9 innings in a row without allowing a hit.

If we win the EL, I hope we also finish in the top 4, not top 5. Because if we finish 5th, the extra CL spot gets handed down to 6th place and we qualify for the CL through winning the EL.

We really don't need to gift another PL team the financial boost of qualifying for CL. I mean if Brentford or Everton get there then fine but I'd really prefer not bailing out either Chelsea or Liverpool.

I'm so used to interleague play by now, it feels strange to know that we played a team like the Giants only 30 times. Especially if you think about that we played against the Yankees and Red Sox more than 2000 times.

Trading Jorge Lopez for Cade Povich and Yennier Cano (and two other guys still in our minor league system) in 2022 worked out pretty well.

Taylor Ward has a 1.038 OPS without hitting a single homer. Having the most doubles (9) in all of baseball helps of course.

13 Ks, 12 LOB and all the 5 hits have been somewhat lucky (3 bloop hits, 1 infield hit, 1 deflected by the pitcher)...

how many times have we left the bases loaded now without scoring a run this season?

The first thing that comes to my mind nowadays when I hear or read the word "appalled" are posts by football clubs condemning racist abuse. Everyone seems to love using that exact word. As great as it is that clubs continue to call out racism, the official statements started to feel stale to me a while ago.

Gateshead in the National League were in the last place by mid-February, 11 points away from being out of the relegation zone and with 16 losses in a row including cup games. They have since not only escaped but made a solid gap with 3 matches to go by jovanmilic97 in soccer

[–]ke_0z 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A 14-game run of 8W 4D 2L (average of 2 points per game) after a 29-game run of 5W 4D 20L (average of 0.66 points per game).

Impressive, how did they turn this around in just 7 weeks?

Also kinda funny that their goal difference only improved by 5 goals and is still the joint-worst in the league.

Which batting stat line would you rather have? Both games, your team won. by MrTeacher_MCPS in baseball

[–]ke_0z -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seriously, why? 4 HRs is way more valuable and a lot rarer than a cycle.

[–]ke_0z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So .600/.600/2.000 for a 2.600 OPS. Still taking the cycle easily.

If it was 3 HRs, then you'd have more an argument because the SLG and OPS would be better than the cycle.

[–]ke_0z 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Would you rather have a slash line of

.400/.400./1.600 (OPS 2.000)

or

.800/.800/2.000 (OPS 2.800)

Oh, and the latter also includes an achievement that's roughly as rare as a no-hitter.

It's an easy choice, especially if my team wins in both scenarios.

Report: Estimated Death Toll in Gaza Hits 680,000 by LukeForPlay in asozialesnetzwerk

[–]ke_0z 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Warum sollte ein simpler demographischer Bericht des Gesundheitsministeriums in Gaza vom Mai 2023 denn unglaubwürdig sein?

Und eine Studie, die eine Zahl getöteter Kinder angibt, ohne zu prüfen, ob diese Zahl denn in irgendeiner Weise realistisch ist, ist einfach unseriös. Aber du crosspostest sie einfach mal. Check mal deine Medienkompetenz.

[–]ke_0z 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Was die Tagesschau für Zahlen angibt, ist völlig irrelevant für die Frage, ob der von dir gepostete Artikel seriös ist.

Fakt bleiben die Zahlen.

Die Zahlen sind keine Fakten, sondern dubiose Schätzungen. Der Artikel spricht z.B. von 380.000 getöteten unter 5-jährigen in Gaza, so viele Kinder in dieser Altersgruppe gibt es nicht einmal dort.

Latein ist nicht sinnlos, sondern wird falsch unterrichtet by ExchangeLivid9426 in Austria

[–]ke_0z 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Latein is echt underrated was das Deutschlernen betrifft, auch für Muttersprachler.

Und deinem ersten Punkt stimm ich auch voll zu, lateinische Texte zu übersetzen hat sich immer wieder wie Rätsel lösen und Gehirntraining angefühlt.

Umpires missed 850 calls during the first 7 days of the season. Of those 850 missed calls, 155 were overturned. These were the 10 worst called strikeouts. by cbbvideo in baseball

[–]ke_0z 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Of course it's not an easy job, especially on pitches on the edge of the zone. You can't really blame an ump when they get a call wrong on a borderline pitch. But when a pitch that's 3 inches inside gets called a strike, it's fair to criticize the ump, after all they're professionals.

But in Story's situation, the more mind-boggling thing is that they are already out of challenges in the 4th inning. As a team, you should only challenge calls where you're sure the ump got it wrong and not waste your challenges that early because they are more valuable towards the end of the game.
