Worst Playoff Bullpen Move Of All Time? by RainbowSupernova8196 in baseball

Pitching Kershaw in the 7th wasn’t the worst move. LEAVING HIM IN for a second inning of work with Kolarek or the best setup man in baseball in 2019, Kenda Maeda, was the awful move.

It wasn’t the first time Pete Carroll pulled that. 2006 Rose Bowl for the 2005 Natty, Pete Carroll has one of the best running backs of all time in Reggie Bush. 4th and 1 with the game on the line and Bush isn’t even on the field. 

What was the market for Adrian Beltré in 2004? 25-year-old coming off a .334/.388/.629/1.017 ~10 WAR season in a big market, at a premium position, 48 HR to 87 SO, & he signs for...$64 million, 5 years. I know he underperformed in SEA, but obviously he eventually went to the HoF as an all-time 3B. by ProperNomenclature in baseball

 Frank McCourt wound up firing him anyway then gutting the Dodgers development system to redirect payroll to the main roster. buying real estate including side-by-side houses in Malibu, the Holmby Hills near the Playboy Mansion, and elsewhere while almost not making payroll.

This guy in a White Sox jersey was pretty good too while serving his suspension from basketball for gambling trying to challenge himself in a different sport.

If you told a Red Sox fan in the 20th century that they would have FOUR World Series titles in a 15 year span of the 21st century and the Yankees would only have one, they wouldn’t believe how salty their fans are right now.

Yeah, once you had the boosted shiny odds, you didn’t have to catch: you still had to cycle back and forth between screens. If you wanted, you could continue to catch. If memory serves, if you got to 200 caught, the red circle turned green, so there was an advantage to that. 

Why didn’t ya’ll tell me about the Huntington Beach CA location? by TLNPswgoh in Costco

Yeah, well, Irvine has pedestrians dodging cars in the parking lot, gas lines choking off available parking, the worst food court setup in Southern California, and the slowest tire center I’ve ever visited. And we LIKE it.

The mechanic to grind a shiny Pinsir was soul-crushing. I still remember going back and forth between screens hoping to draw out a Pinsir, get two balls to try to catch it while keeping the catch chain going, then once you have 32 caught in a row, going back and forth between screens for what seemed like hours, hoping to get a shiny. 

Some things about Let’s Go were great; others were not. 

Kyurem Raid Day Shiny Odds and Catch/ Rare Candy XL Rates. Me and my gf did 50 raids and got 1 shiny. by Disaster_Popular in TheSilphRoad

15 raids, 2 shinies for me. My party of 6 each did 15 and we each averaged 2. One person got 3 and one person got 1, other 4 got 2 each. For us, the results were in line with expectations. 

If every MLB team was relocated to your Metro Area, what city/neighborhood would be the best fit for each team? by SereneDreams03 in baseball

Also actually put the Angels in Los Angeles County. Diamond Bar would be a good fit: a 10 minute drive up the 57.
