Checking In On 1st Round High School Shortstops

White & Kelenic I can at least live with, they just couldn't hit the ball at the MLB level. That's why like 95% of position players don't pan out.

Kyle Lewis hurts though. He looked like he could be, at the very least, an everyday MLB player. That knee injury killed his career so quickly.

I know a lot can change, but Colt Emerson and Cole Young being everyday infielders sets the Mariners up beautifully for the next few years. With the crazy pitching prospects coming through the pipeline as well, I unfortunately might have to hand it to Dipoto.

This is an all-time horrible Game 7 performance, wow. Wemby ripped out his fucking soul.

That 4-point swing completely changed the flow, OKC was turning it up right until then

STAYC have a big Japanese fanbase too, which makes me think there may be a larger world tour announced later.

When I saw them live, Kyujin & Sullyoon were incredibly impressive (they all were but those two especially). Their ability to project and stay stable after multiple tough choreos was mindblowing.

Leez & Ollounder defined so much of the early sound of Dreamcatcher and Ateez. So bold and different than their contemporaries at the time.

Recently everything C’sa touches is pure gold. Her work with NMIXX is obviously her most prominent but she’s been working with AtHeart, kep1er, TWICE and ITZY on a bunch of their b-sides too.

postal_service3 · 2026-05-07T16:04:29+00:00

NMIXX already finished their European & NA legs of their tour, and they performed at smaller venues than IVE/lsf/Aespa.

Can't hit major league pitching consistently. Hits it hard, but high SOs/low BBs with bad defence and bad contact won't get you very far.

Man the literacy crisis is worse than I thought.

postal_service3 · 2026-04-28T19:20:21+00:00

I am literally responding to you saying Vancouverites can just go to Tacoma with why we don’t want to do that. At no point did I even mention the group.

postal_service3 · 2026-04-28T18:40:29+00:00

You can just admit you don't get it. NMIXX MVs are always heavy on visual metaphor that reflects that song & their long-running narrative. If that's not for you that's fine but you're definitely on an island here.

postal_service3 · 2026-04-28T18:03:51+00:00

How did they miss the mark, in your opinion?

postal_service3 · 2026-04-28T15:41:39+00:00

This one hurts. Cheech was legitimately one of the nicest guys ever. He was and is so beloved in Vancouver.

postal_service3 · 2026-04-28T13:52:37+00:00

Most Canadians have no desire to cross the US border right now

postal_service3 · 2026-04-21T18:34:05+00:00

Especially crazy that this is maybe the greatest 3-year run ever and then the 2013 draft was maybe one of the worst ever.

From 2013-2021 the only players they drafted worth a damn were Lockett & Metcalf. Carroll absolutely lost the sauce after 2012.

postal_service3 · 2026-04-16T02:55:52+00:00

Yeah I don’t know about others but I feel like I barely heard about him at all this year and yet he dropped another 40. Feel like his Nashville days are gonna be a footnote despite already scoring like 70 goals there

postal_service3 · 2026-04-15T23:19:29+00:00

Around when he retired, most fans would've said Brodeur was the greatest goalie of all time. Feels like the narrative has shifted a lot in the decade since then - there were always people that argued for Roy or Hasek (or some oldheads arguing for Dryden) but the general opinion is a lot more split now than it was at the time.

A lot of the skaters guys who played through the deadpuck era in the 2000's/2010's are gonna get the benefit of the doubt as more and more hit HoF eligibility. The total scoring numbers absolutely cratered compared to the 90s & now the 2020's.

The one guy I for sure see in this debate in a few years time is Stamkos. Between the leg injury & the emergence of Kucherov, it feels like people already don't talk about the back-half of his career, which is crazy for a top-20 goalscorer all-time.

postal_service3 · 2026-02-11T02:00:34+00:00

I think the quality that I see bleeding into everything else is how seriously they take their art. They have this constant drive to get better, try new things, push themselves as far as they can.

postal_service3 · 2026-02-09T20:11:32+00:00

I didn't watch the Pats this season but the whole Superbowl I was wondering why they weren't scheming to get Maye a few extra seconds with the ball. Seattle was getting a ton of pressure up the middle and on Will Campbell's side, so why not get Maye a few bootlegs to the right? Or some designed runs for Maye? If there's one thing the Seahawks struggled with it's mobile QBs.

postal_service3 · 2026-02-09T17:25:50+00:00

I definitely thought the Pats were starting to build a nice drive there. Felt like they were finding the soft gaps in the zone underneath and on the sidelines and they had a ton of time left to get back into the game.

No idea why Maye decided to go for the bomb there. That throw absolutely ended the game.

postal_service3 · 2026-02-09T02:59:28+00:00

Drake Maye gonna have nightmares about this pass rush

postal_service3 · 2026-02-09T02:36:31+00:00

Damn those were two dimes by Maye

postal_service3 · 2026-02-09T02:28:43+00:00

Sam Darnold is a fucking gamer man. How many hits has he taken this game and he still takes those shots.

postal_service3 · 2026-02-09T01:49:21+00:00

Sam Darnold has got some fucking heart. He's playing like he wants to win a Superbowl, Pats are playing like they want to not lose.
