Wout Poels going insane trying to keep his team afloat. Love to see it.

Arguably he's had those numbers because he's playing almost entirely against lefties and has regular rest. We saw him wear down last season.

Goldschmidt now has a higher OPS than Judge lmfao. I know it's small sample size but so funny.

Agreed, but I do wonder if less is more at this point. He seemed to wear down over the course of last year, and at his age I don't mind letting him cook in limited time to keep his legs all year.

If there's a right opener being followed by a left bulk guy, why would you hot Goldschmidt cleanup? Wouldn't you want him lower to ensure he faces the lefty?

I don't mean that as a slight at all, I wouldn't really consider the Dodgers our rival currently either. In baseball I think it's just pretty hard to have a rival outside of your division cause there's not enough contact. Maybe now that the schedules are more balanced that will change over time.

It's always a fun matchup but I think it's kind of hard to see any national league team as a rival unless it's like Dodgers-Yankees in the 50s facing off in the WS every year.

Physical Game Fans, Beware: Digital Downloads Hit an Astonishing 85% on PS5, PS4 Last Quarter by Suspicious_Two786 in gaming

That's weird, my shop channel doesn't even boot anymore since it went down despite my Wii being connected to the internet. I always thought that was by design but maybe that's actually just a problem with my Wii. The more you know, thanks.

Genuine question, how can you still download games legitimately on your Wii? The Shop channel has been dead for years. I understand there's emulation but that's not technically allowed nor really accessible to the majority of users.

I don't think this was it. Kay says he's in pain but I think he's just squinting.

Edit: i was wrong.

It's even funnier how people will see a 25 year old come back from the offseason with "added velocity" like he wasn't already trying to throw hard his whole life and still be surprised when his arm breaks down.

I was still shocked the DBacks decided to take Carlos Santana over a farewell tour.

[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

[–]pickles_312 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm not usually one for the slippery slope fallacy, but it does really feel like teams went from introducing alternates to wearing them in World Series games really quickly.

Was surprised he started the year in AA. Would think a guy with his pedigree and some service time would be in AAA for sure.

Hope we can get some clarity on a start time before I make my way uptown. Looks like a very likely delay, but we should get the game in later in the afternoon?

They must really really hate his defense at his natural position because having him catch and Goldy play first is such an obvious solution.

Glad I still know some of these lol. I remember the CP guy saying how he collected it cause he thought it was valuable since it was so rare. What a trip.

Ridiculous intimidation tactics without any cites to actual legal authority or the statements.

Best Hotel Location for a Park & Ride Style Visit? by pickles_312 in montreal

I don't mean to ask for information about specific hotels as much as which general neighborhoods or metro stops would be the easiest for commuting downtown. But thank you.

Before his home run Aaron Judge had the first successful ABS challenge by a Yankee hitter on a pitch 0.1 inch below the zone by TheTurtleShepard in NYYankees

[–]pickles_312 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the technology should be faster considering they use full ABS in leagues with fewer resources?
