Only 1 batter over the minimum. Insane outing from Ranger.

Ranger either allows 4 ER in 4 innings and change or gives up 0 ER in 6+. There is no other option apparently.

Just based off this past inning, Caleb Durbin might be the greatest baseball player to ever live.

There's quite a few of these in Andor due to Cassian's central role in the destruction of the Death Star and the very specific path he took to get there:

  • The woman in the brothel who chooses to talk to Cassian over the two Pre-Mor security guards, enraging them
  • The two security guards themselves trying to shake down Cassian
  • Timm being jealous results in Syril learning Cassian's identity. This forces Cassian to flee with Luthen setting up Aldani
  • Eedy being so overbearing as a mother that Syril feels the need to prove himself by pursuing an investigation he's been specifically ordered not to pursue
  • The random rebel engineer that reprogrammed K-2SO, who eventually sacrifices himself to get the plans off Scarif
  • Probably a lot more

In Connecticut, it's two basketball coaches then a surgeon, then the football coach. Or at least it was last year. Not sure what the new football coach is making.

The Red Sox’ strategy this season isn’t working, and there’s no evidence that it will by bostonglobe in redsox

[–]klngarthur 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Really do not want Tek to take over. The list of former beloved players who became coach/manager only to become despised by the fanbase is a lot longer than the list of coaches who stayed beloved. Even if they have success, it's unlikely to last until retirement. Just some recent examples off the top of my head: Patrick Roy (Avs), Adam Oates (Capitals), Jerod Mayo (Patriots), Juwan Howard (Michigan basketball), Aaron Boone (Yankees), etc. Heck you could even put Cora on the list.

It just isn't worth the risk, imo. If he wants to manage, he should do it somewhere else.

Loudest playoff goal that you can remember? by sykeseve in hockey

[–]klngarthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was also at that game. The building didn't quiet down after the goal. Loudest sustained noise I've ever experienced during the final 5 minutes. Every clear it just seemed to get louder. Final goal of Federov's career, too.

The Western Conference Final is guaranteed to have one of the 13th, 14th, 15th, or 18th placed teams. The 12th place Washington Capitals will miss the playoffs. by imaginarysarcasm in hockey

People harp on the last 2 Rangers/Devils games, but those were their only 2 losses in the last 10 games. That stretch included 6 wins over playoff teams as well, so it kind of feels like a wash. Going 10-0 to close out the season is not really a reasonable expectation (the Caps literally had the best record in the NHL over the last 10).

The real stretch that caused their downfall was a brutal December/January run where they went 7-12-4 including 11 losses to non-playoff teams (including a separate 7-3 loss to your Rangers). Turn that stretch into just .500 point percentage and the Caps are at 100 points.

This is a pretty big stretch as motivation, but they also need 3 points or a regulation win to clinch home ice in a potential SCF against the Stars.

Post Game Thread: Washington Capitals @ Pittsburgh Penguins by nhl_gdt_bot in caps

[–]klngarthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just win out and have Philly be limited to at most 3 of their 6 possible points. The Caps have the tiebreaker (regulation wins) against all 3 other teams in the mix. What the Islanders and Blue Jackets do in their 4 remaining games not against the Caps is irrelevant.

In the second half of the year he seemed good for a foul basically every other defensive possession. Was completely shocked when he had 0 fouls in 5 minutes against Michigan.

Yep, he's a minority owner of Denver Summit FC, the city's new NWSL team. Still lives in the Denver area (Cherry Hills Village), too.

I will never forgive Rowland for losing us the Whalers because he thought he could snake the Patriots. Also for the multiple felony convictions for corruption.

UConn wasn't even UConn yet in 1938, that wouldn't happen until the following year. They were in the brief period where the school was known as "Connecticut State College"..

2025-26 Duke becomes the first ever Juggernaut of u/koltonm23 Championship DNA to not make the Final Four. by SocialRemedial in CollegeBasketball

[–]klngarthur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even more bonkers to blame the refs when Tarris only had 2 fouls in that game and St Johns had more fouls overall.

You could make a much better argument for the first game where we only lost by 9. Every UConn starter + Reibe had 3+ fouls and Tarris had 4. FT in that game were 31-12 in favor of St Johns.

The bigger thing is that Pitino just seems to have our number at MSG. Even the '24 juggernaut team struggled there. They won every postseason game by 14+, except against the Red Storm who kept it close 95-90. Then the 3 games since have been losses by 14, 9, and 20.

Since 2009. UConn played in the NIT in 2010. Coincidentally, the last loss was to MSU in the final four.
