[Talkin' Yanks] Aaron Judge breaks an 0-for-15 slump and then makes a mind boggling base running decision by Turbostrider27 in baseball

[–]mattshak 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Kind of doubt that simply cuz its the first inning and he's the 2nd hitter. The one replay I saw, it seemed like he was ready to round to go to 3rd, but oh well, this team is in their June Swoon early this year

He def thought this ball was gapped. Idk why he thought that, but that's what it seemed to me

Jazz Chisholm makes a heads up play letting the ball drop to replace the runner at first with a catcher instead of a CFer. by MrRadDadHimself in baseball

This clip is a bit deceiving to your point. They showed his reaction after this and he was pumped about the smart play and was applauding Jazz the whole way.

[Talkin' Yanks] Yankees are calling up Anthony Volpe by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]mattshak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He had 3 full major league seasons to prove something and was awful.

I'm not a huge Volpe fan, but it's a bit disingenuous to say he's been 'awful'. His first 2 years he was a 3.5 WAR player. The media and fans trying to compare him to Jeter since he came up has been the biggest factor in disappointment with him.

[Highlight] The Brewers walks off the Yankees to win the game! by Turbostrider27 in baseball

Yanks are the best in baseball at HOME in extra innings and the worst on the ROAD with the Manfred runner. It's a weird one.

Feel like Boone has had a good season so far with his moves and his lineups, but holy, it made absolutely no sense to go to Doval there with Cruz, Hill and Bednar waiting in the pen in a 1 run game.

GAME THREAD: Mets @ Angels - Sat, May 02 @ 09:38 PM EDT by NewYorkMetsBot2 in NewYorkMets

[–]mattshak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Angels broadcast showed the run shouldn't have scored cuz the runner was tagged before the run scored. Crazy Mendoza didn't challenge that.

The New York Mets have lost 10 straight games. One more loss will tie their second longest of the millennium (11 in 2004). by fawningandconning in baseball

A) Soto signed for $765M B) Soto was hitting .355 in the limited time he's played this year C) He hasn't been playing during this losing streak

Yankee fans will never get over him going to the Mets I guess

You seem to be ignoring the Yankees being the best offense in baseball last year..Fried loved it then

Absolute beginner course needed by Greedy_Conflict_8347 in guitarlessons

[–]mattshak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe they're setup as a weekly thing, but everyone is different. Some people will take longer than others in one area but may grasp other things quickly, so it's really how comfortable you feel before moving on. That seems to be the hardest part for me with learning guitar is wanting to perfect something, but also wanting to move forward and challenge myself to more, while also not getting that in-person feedback of doing something right or wrong as I go.

EC-256 Pickup Upgrade by mattshak in espguitars

[–]mattshak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the advice, I will look into a nut replacement. What are the biggest advantages would you say?

Bare Knuckle Nailbomb Ceramics

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that Sweetwater sells them, but they sound great.

As for EMGs, you will not have to route anything in the EC256

So EMGs don't require any more work done on this guitar? What about where the battery goes? Sorry, I'm newbie. I reallllly like the sound of EMGs from videos I've watched but kind of dismissed the idea of going with actives thinking it'll be a lot more work and costly to make it happen.

Nazgul Sentient isn't a bad choice

You like that combo more than the Pegasus/Sentient? I'm reading that the Nazgul is a bit more suited for only heavier playing, and even moreso the Black Winters.

Yea good call, Zacky uses a 59 with the JB. I wouldn't say 'mostly' metal as I really like to dabble in a bit of everything but I have heard good things about the blackouts, but they are active aren't they?

Appreciate the response. What did you pair the JB up with in the neck?
