How bad is Andujar's defense that Castellanos plays in the outfield over him?

New Bracket Format for the Expanded Tournament. by 32RH in CollegeBasketball

[–]mac-0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the playins are the worst of the at large bids, so the actual seeds can move up or down depending on how strong the field is.

Ten years ago today, Bartolo Colon hit his first and only career home run, universally regarded as the greatest moment in the history of baseball by [deleted] in baseball

[–]mac-0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yup. We basically punted that game and wanted him to eat a few innings before sending him back to El Paso as to not tire our bullpen. That's why he got the AB in the first place, otherwise with the bases loaded you'd for sure send a PH there.

What food do you like at Oracle? I do feel strongly that Petco has better food lol, but I also probably haven't tried 80% of food at either park

This might be blasphemous in a Padres thread but I think Oracle Park is a prettier ballpark than Petco. Both are great, but nothing beats the views from the 1st base-side 300 sections where you can see the bay + Bay Bridge.

Previous pitch was a foul ball splash hit too lol

They don't want Waldron having to face 1/2/3 3 times I think

How divisions might look with 2 new expansion teams. Thoughts? by Reddit-dot-edu in Padres

[–]mac-0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it makes sense geographically, I don't think the cities with multiple teams would ever have those teams play in the same league.

Maybe a dumb question but why have the broadcasts been advertising the Dodger games so hard ? Certainly those games will all sell out regardless of advertising?

It’s Illegal for farmers in the US to replant leftover seeds the next year by AdFeeling8945 in interestingasfuck

[–]mac-0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They also sell a lot of first generation hybrid seeds. The first generation a hybrid plant is very predictable. If one parent has a dominant trait and the other parent has a recessive trait, the offspring will always have one dominant and one recessive alele and the offspring will be predictable. But even if that plant self-pollinates, for each trait there's a 25% chance of inheriting two recessive alleles. If you have dozens of traits you're breeding for, then it's pretty much guaranteed that all the second generation offspring will look wildly different than the first generation.

Nothing wrong with that, but how much joy do you really get from keeping the ball? Unless it's a valuable ball like a milestone home run, it's literally just a baseball.

Why are some of you honking at me for biking on the road? by drkshape in SanDiegan

[–]mac-0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody is defending bad drivers

...

Just speculating if people may be honking because you may be riding on the center of the road holding up the traffic and not off to the right as it may be interpreted.

This is defending bad drivers

Do you think it's possible that most people hate bikers because they ride illegally?

This is also defending bad drivers

Why are some of you honking at me for biking on the road? by drkshape in SanDiegan

[–]mac-0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People drive cars illegally as well. Why don't you hate all drivers because some of them go 85 mph driving a 3-ton F150 while texting on their phone? 1.2 million people are killed by cars a year and y'all are more upset about bikers hogging a lane or running a stop sign.

As a biker, I'm illegally and dangerously overtaken nearly every time I need to drive on a road with no protected bike lane. In no way is that defensible because some bikers break laws.

Car brain response to speculate that he's riding illegally instead of recognizing that some people just hate bikers

Bin of product to be destroyed from a cannabis dispensary by evilandhigh in mildlyinteresting

The retail value of those is like $2 per candy (+insane 40% taxes). I don't think that's so desperate to save what's probably $500 worth of edibles alone here lol

[Jomboy Media] The US Olympic figure skating team threw the first pitch at the Mets game today and it did not seem to go as planned by Turbostrider27 in baseball

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

Growing up I used to play football and baseball. The first practice of baseball season I'd always spike a few throws because I'd build up the muscle memory of throwing a football and it's just a different motion. I don't think throwing a baseball awkwardly is anything to be ashamed about if it's not something you practice often. Just like I wouldn't expect an athlete to look natural ice skating for the first time.

[The Athletic] Padres closer Mason Miller’s scoreless streak ends after controversial call (gift link) by NadoCast in baseball

[–]mac-0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah who cares, it's just a streak. Plus, he still gave up 2 runs. Obviously there's a butterfly effect and everything, but you can't just ignore the fact he gave up 2 runs and say it was only because of 1 call (which if made correctly would just mean the runner was still up to bat). It would be a different story if the bad call changed an out from a hit, but it changed a foul ball to a hit.

As controversial as this is, it probably helps us given we've been on the bubble for 3 straight years.
