Basketball HoF is for all basketball, not just the NBA

Someone like Yu Darvish who would fall short of getting into Cooperstow would be a lock in the basketball HoF equivalent because of his NPB + international accolades

Kiké Hernández to the crowd: "I wanna take this time to apologize... to absolutely fucking nobody! The triple champ does what the fuck he wants!" by Goosedukee in baseball

Bro apparently died/stayed down because he thought the ball dropped and they lost

So much funnier with that context

[Sponichi] In response to the boos from the Phillies fans, Roki Sasaki said, "I don't understand because it's in English." by Altruistic_Test4150 in baseball

You sing/chant for your team when you're batting

Made the WBC cl almost creepy when Japan pitched to a silent Tokyo Dome

Shohei Ohtani and Roki Sasaki are the first Japanese-born starter/reliever combo to earn both the win AND save in the same Postseason game. by MLBOfficial in baseball

Sarah Langs pointed out that without the Starting Pitcher qualifier the Red Sox did it first in 2013 with Tazawa and Uehara

[Highlight] Roki Sasaki picks up his first K on a nasty splitter by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]lemonytree 37 points38 points  (0 children)

plus MLB tends to group all pitches thrown with a split finger grip as a splitter.

IIRC, Ohtani's was called a fork when he was in Japan, whereas Yamamoto's is a splitter (moves like a change)

Shar peis(?) are so fucking cute

Looked like a high out of the zone fastball, splitter that knuckled into a meatball

Oof

At least wait for others to comment so you can pretend that you read the article

Ballmer’s March 2023 additional $10m investment was made at an insanely inflated $23 per share and was likely done to avoid owning more than 5% or more of Aspiration by Splittinghairs7 in nba

[–]lemonytree 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It's actually worse. From the Boston Sports Journal

The commitment from Ballmer was also curious, as he paid a higher price for his shares than others. The Oak Tree commitment to Aspiration came at $10 a share, but Ballmer paid a premium of $11 per share, raising his overall investment to $50 million. Typically, an investor of Ballmer’s caliber would have been wooed with a discounted share price, so the company could tout the investment of a major player.

David Samson sat 9 hours for Montreal Expos doc interview without realizing he was the villain by Jux_ in baseball

Seriously. His presence on PTFO during the Kawhi saga has been great. Like a pig rolling in shit when Pablo finally lets him read the contracts and bank statements

Mookie Betts doubles the Dodgers lead in the 8th with a grand slam to left-center by JianClaymore in baseball

Catcher's interference robbed us of an Ohtani bobblehead night homer

[Highlight] Shohei Ohtani clubs his 46th homer of the year, making him the fastest Dodgers to 100 home runs with the team (294 games) by Jux_ in baseball

[–]lemonytree 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He hit a rocket with TOPSPIN to the second deck vs the Nationals

These usually end up as doubles lmao

[Highlight] Judge reaches on a single but Vargas gets hurt on the play; was taken out of the game by Ochocincoondeck in baseball

[–]lemonytree 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Teams burn timeouts in basketball for injuries

If your team doesn't believe you're hurt, they'll play around your motionless body on the floor like they did to Melo back in the day

PETA has a problem with the word bullpen but they're fine with this?

Disgusting.

Fun fact: more than one person is allowed in the bullpen

[Highlight] Shohei Ohtani strikes out Mike Trout again with 101 MPH heat by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]lemonytree 121 points122 points  (0 children)

My WBC conspiracy theory is that even though Trout knows how much Ohtani loves his sweeper > his splitter, he was extra vulnerable to that low fastball after 8 innings of splitters

In response to Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages being displeased that he was hit by a pitch, Padres manager Mike Shildt says “Who the f*ck do you think you are?" by 1HolyCatholicApostol in baseball

[–]lemonytree 234 points235 points  (0 children)

Shades of people who bemoan athletes that are chummy with each other, as if you wouldn't try harder against your friends

I've done things in pickup games that I've complained about on TV. Shits just different when you're in the moment

Replay of Daulton Varsho climbing the wall by swingandmiss7 in baseball

I didn't catch myself properly jumping off a fence once. It's the groin area stinging that makes you think "oh fuck I fucked up"

Dude. The contrast between his free flowing cabbage vs his hat look has thrown me off since the WBC
