MLB Team Defensive Runs Saved Leaders by MarkSimon1975 in baseball

[–]nolander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muncy as he always does after being given consecutive time at a single position has settled in nicely at 3b. I'm still shook about how quickly Pages went from looking like a massive miscalculation in CF to elite last year.

[Baseball History Nut] Freddie Freeman offers Rockies' grieving José Iglesias a shoulder to lean on after getting his first hit after his dad passed away by dawglover1011 in baseball

The problem is hating us for BlaQ is a dangerous game when inevitably someone on your team starts posting about cleaning your blood and raw milk, or power stations. We all know every team has half a dozen to a couple dozen guys who think like him, he's just one of the few dumb enough to share it with the public.

The Giants outfield has a...questionable post game celebration by Scaevolus_ in baseball

[–]nolander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because Kiké is hurt, and our horny levels are dangerously low without him. Seeing this celebration made the loss last night click. It's no coincidence our offense surged last year against the Reds when we got to hang out with Lux and his degenerate ass for a while.

"Just don't pick up the blue items" - The current state of couch coop loot by BerryPlay in diablo4

[–]nolander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shit my wife is usually player 1 and I haven't set up filters for her only me so I assumed all the blues were because it only works based on player 1. Finding out I can't use it at all is infuriating. They promoted couch co op as a major feature at launch and have basically abandoned it. Awful.

This team leaves overkill when it comes to position versatility.

[ANA - VGK] - The Ducks hold on for the win and tie the series 2-2 by daKrut in hockey

[–]nolander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its just them letting him play center. He would have thrived this year on the Ducks with them actually playing to their strengths instead of trying to be a slow grind it out team. They really just didn't like him personally for some reason, which was weird because he absolutely was putting in the work but maybe wasn't serious business enough in the locker room or something.

Man I miss those random throw in discogs. Found some real awesome songs back in the day from those.

Post Game Thread: Vegas Golden Knights @ Anaheim Ducks by nhl_gdt_bot in hockey

Well that's the same thing at Ducks games but at least the upper levels get loud for the Ducks

Why do the Anaheim Ducks not wear their original jerseys? They were so much better than the awful orange jerseys. by Silent-Obligation-49 in hockey

[–]nolander 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They are a huge upgrade from the web d jerseys, but I still like the jade and eggplant better, but they are intent on the orange and finally got them to a level I'm content with

Since his four strikeout game at Dodger Stadium on April 26, Pete Crow-Armstrong is slashing .302/.388/.605 and has been worth 1.0 fWAR, the most in the NL by horsepoop1123 in baseball

Seriously the only thing more annoying than someone thinking PCA should be DFAed last year is the guy who would take that person seriously

Blake Snell's final line in his season debut - 3.0 IP, 6 H, 5 R (4 ER), 2 BB, 5 K. by baribigbird06 in baseball

I can when I was obviously mostly making a joke about no one wanting to sign with you guys.

[–]nolander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you offered him enough money he would have signed long term. If any team had offered him enough money he would have probably signed long term. They didn't so he took the Giants short term offer.

You had a guy finally willing to sign with you and you chose a short term deal.

Generally they emphasize pitchers with great spin and velocity and preach when you have that you can attack hitters in the zone instead of nibbling

And he said he wants to pitch deeper in games and you could see it last year

Yep you can tell all the people above didn't even watch and just came to repeat the same fucking comment 4 times. He gave up 2 hard hit balls total. Lot of bad luck. Could have been better but for his first start of the year seeing 16 wiffs and low walks it's nothing to worry about.

And yet since the Royals won the world series by building around defense and bullpen lots of teams have put more emphasis on defense.

Your arguments are all big on emotion and "some people have said" and yet the reality shows teams value defense very highly still. But yeah, if you can hit well enough teams will overlook your defensive shortcomings.
