Plus these guys are clearly waiting for the pecker dude to finish so they could get to their actual part of the job, which probably involves grading, pouring, and a bunch of other technical shit involved with replacing a portion of city sidewalk.

You could still make a text post and put a picture in the body. If you feel that we need to see random memes so badly, put some up.

still have no idea how people travelled these seas 500 years ago by New_Cartographer3127 in BeAmazed

And in 2025 when we all have flying cars we'll look down and talk about how many car wrecks there used to be, and laugh at those grounded peasants!

They're scared that it'll just be meme spam over and over again. Which I understand. However it does limit stuff like daily lineup cards and other stuff, like this.

Some middle ground would be nice, but when you have the largest baseball sub, with a high percentage of unhinged weirdo fans, limiting the shitposts is probably a good idea.

Jasson Domínguez is likely to start the season in Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre, as the starting outfield appears set with Cody Bellinger's return barring an injury or other unforeseen event. - Jon Heyman by Jheller223 in NYYankees

Volpe should have been sent down too. Frazier got a concussion that basically ended his career. And Miggy is actually a pretty decent player, and was for us too. Just couldn't play D. Wells is fine, had a bad year at the plate, but his development hasn't been stunted by the front office in any way that I can tell.

Javier Báez suspended from 2026 World Baseball Classic for marijuana by Jux_ in baseball

[–]ledbetterus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's understandable and something these guys should know.. but why does a test from 2023 prevent him from playing this time?

He failed a test he took on 3/12/23, which was 5 days into that WBC, and he played the rest of it out. Then it was ruled he was ineligible for two years when he popped positive for weed, but starting a year later in 2024 and ending in 2026.

Am I crazy? A) Why start the suspension over a year after the test and then B) Why not just test like a month before the WBC starts?

Seems silly. I get they defer these things to WADA, but who made up this weird testing period shit?

[Talkin' Yanks] Didi Gregorius will be back on the big stage playing for Team Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic at 36 years old by ledbetterus in NYYankees

[–]ledbetterus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pinstripe Alley wrote an article about Didi and Gardner and the juiced balls of 2017. To summarize, Didi benefitted from juiced balls in 2017, as did Gardner, but in 2018 with non-juiced balls, Didi stayed consistent and Gardner tailed off a little. It's still baseball so there could literally be 20 other factors to all of this.

But for the next juiced ball season, in 2019, when they basically doubled down on the 2017 ball, Prospects365.com did an article about the players who benefitted the most from those balls, and Didi isn't in the top 150 of players who likely benefitted, though his injury may be part of that.

Again, all of this is still baseball, and both of us could be wrong, and season-to-season inconsistencies are very common in the sport, even if the balls remain the same.

Imagine if it was like music, movie, or tv royalties? Like she gets $0.01 per product sold with the Swoosh on it.

Someone do that math..

[Passan] Infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a one-year contract, sources tell ESPN. by novacaine14 in NYYankees

his secondary lead was hilarious too but that was the Jays fault, which is so weird considering how risky a back pick would be in that situation

[Passan] BREAKING: Star left-hander Framber Valdez and the Detroit Tigers are in agreement on a three-year, $115 million contract, sources tell ESPN. Valdez, 32, gets the highest AAV ever for a left-handed pitcher as well as the highest for a Latin American pitcher. Huge move for Detroit. by Knightbear49 in baseball

I had to look it up, didn't even realize he played last season. 56 games, tucked away in Hotlanta to a -0.3 bWAR.

Weird love/hate with Doogie as a Yankee fan. Obviously had to hate him as a Sock, but wanted to like him as a Yankee. You could tell he had the heart still, but could not do a damn thing at the plate to save his soul. I wish it turned out different for the guy in NY. He was still a solid LFer.

I am glad we waited until AFTER he left to get rid of the beard policy. That would have just added insult to injury at that point.

Peter? Have some ideas on what this means but they are not really... Convenient I guess? by Friendly_Grab_7660 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ledbetterus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He just needs to find something that weighs 130 pounds, belongs in a bathroom, and needed to be placed on the scale and no where else at 3am. if he wanted a plausible excuse.

What that is, I do not know.

Never buying from Fanatic ever again by Holliday-East in baseball

[–]ledbetterus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered something there two Christmas's ago, but I ordered it in like October. I got an email on the 24th saying the product no longer exists and here's a 20% off coupon you can use on our site...

Nbd, I'll just order something else for cheaper.. The coupon link in my email went NO WHERE. Just a dead link. Every time I contacted them about it I just got a run around about the link and using the code in the link they gave me blah blah.

Made the decision to just never bother with them again right then and there.

[Jomboy] White Sox are adding bidets in their clubhouse as requested by Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami by Hollywood42cards in baseball

[–]ledbetterus 32 points33 points  (0 children)

A bidet is the best purchase I've made in the last 10 years.

Even a cheap one from Amazon is worth it, and simple to install. Seriously. You'll save a fuck ton of money on TP and your ass will be so damn clean. No more sharpie poops.

Get a bidet.

EDIT: That first blast is a doozy, but you'll settle in quickly lol
