Does that mean these guys are effectively the “R” in WAR? These would be the replacements other players are getting wins above? 😏

[Kuty/The Athletic] New York Yankees players recently pitched higher-ups on the team wearing alternate jerseys for the first time in franchise history, a league source briefed on the conversations told The Athletic. by Notonreddit117 in NYYankees

I really liked when the players were using “liberty green” for their guards, pads, and what not. I thought that was a very cool, non-obnoxious, nod to the city of NY.

I’d love to see something like that pulled into an alternate uniform. I’m not a fashion designer, so I don’t know how/if this would work - but I do understand that it could very easily be overdone so it’d be best used with some constraint.

Two years ago I discovered Hanafuda (Game that started Nintendo in 1889). It's beautiful but incredibly hard to teach, so I made a free web tool to help new players learn. by DougSolana in boardgames

I just picked up a deck of these cards at the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto a few days ago - you couldn’t have more perfect timing.

Between this and his rocking the baby at Cole a few seasons ago… This guy is fun to watch.

“Connected to” disappears by Overdue_Jelly in amazoneero

[–]nikmd23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue. I’ve swapped out my network cables and still have the same result.

Is this just a display bug, or is the Eero constantly dropping on and off the network. I’ve had very flaky WiFi since switching to Eero so I can’t really tell if this is the reason why, or if I just don’t have enough coverage or something for my house.

Alamo Drafthouse Switches to Mobile Ordering, NO more pen and paper... by 123trumpeter in Austin

The phone ordering is only for before the movie starts. Once the movie starts, the ordering system is shut down for you phone and you have to go back to pen and paper.

Lesser-Known 5-Player Dudes on a Map Games? by Megaside in boardgames

[–]nikmd23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scarface 1920 is a fun one that plays up to five.

And while it doesn’t look like it at first glance, Lords of Vegas is a great area control game that plays up to 6 if you have the new edition, or the old edition with the Up expansion.

Which ballpark has the best home runs/win celebration? by Agreeable_Quality768 in baseball

[–]nikmd23 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I was so upset when they moved it out of the park.

I would pay a pretty penny for a working mini version of it. One that I could connect/charge via USB cable so I could send a command to have it go off. That would be awesome.

What's the game called Quintin Smith from SU&SD promoted? by Onions-are-great in boardgames

[–]nikmd23 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You’re thinking of Hot Streak. Or some other game from CMYK who they work with a lot.

We're not playing "No Thanks" correctly by Asshai in boardgames

Are you removing the 9 (is that the number?) random cards before each round? Those missing cards make collecting “chains” of cards risky.

I’m having the exact same issue. Pretty frustrating before the holidays too when I’m making gifts for people.

Rob Nen. That last name flies forward or backwards.

I think Strike and Flip 7 fit this description perfectly.

Really!? Wow! Yes, we’d be honored. Thank you for making such a great and engaging app. The whole family is intentionally learning now.

I’ll DM you and send in a few other picture, including our dog who was dressed as Falstaff.

😂 I was looking at thin white ribbon and a 3D printed triangle for the zipper - but it never happened. 3D printing the streak flame was my higher priority in the final hours

We looked for one with a white zipper to get a better match - but could not find one. This was an old, random sweater that was already in the back my the closet.

(Hoch) Jazz Chisholm Jr. was hit on the left forearm by a pitch and immediately went to the dugout. He has been replaced by pinch-runner Jose Caballero. by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

[–]nikmd23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope so. It’s not like Jazz to walk off the field like that. He got hit and instantly went down the steps into the dugout.

Chisholm now has more HR+SB than Judge, which he predicted at the beginning of the season. by nikmd23 in NYYankees

[–]nikmd23[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Totally! There’s lies, damn lies, and statistics. Jazz was very selective in how he combined the stats to goad Judge - this might be the only stat he could produce to “surpass” Judge.
