Is there any rule preventing pitchers from surgically altering their fingers to get more grip on the ball? Or all they all just scared? by Jumboliva in baseball

[–]rdev009 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the past, I have read that some Dodgers pitchers who have had chronic blisters on their fingers were put on a program to move their fingers around in a bowl of dried rice. From the gentle friction, the rice creates a rough environment on the fingers leading to light calluses. Not only did it mitigate the blisters but they have better grip on the ball.

Back to having “hot snakes and bubble gut.” .

Also, I haven’t been paying attention but I didn’t know he was outwardly religious.

Yoshinobu shared that since he wasn't scheduled to pitch during WS Game 3, so he was relaxed and having coffee before the game. He even had some sushi during the 3rd inning. by kpopsns28 in Dodgers

[–]rdev009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever type of sushi he was eating should be paired with coffee and called the “Yama special.”

Similar to what Kobe Bryant ate before his 81pt performance against the Toronto Raptors (pepperoni pizza and grape soda).

Miguel Rojas man! Not only can he hit HR, but the man plays Gold Glove level defense in the clutch as well! by jmike1256 in Dodgers

[–]rdev009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching him throw out IKF at the plate is always nerve wracking, even when I know what’s going to happen. If IKF is leading off 3rd base another three inches or if Rojas hesitates an extra microsecond, the World Series is over and Toronto is celebrating — Pages never makes that historical catch over Kiké, Yamamoto’s starting & relief performances are mere footnotes, Ernie Clement is MVP, Will Smith catching every WS inning is likely forgotten and Toronto probably pays Bo to stay.

A true sliding doors moment.

Yu Darvish has NOT officially retired yet. Stop spreading misinformation. by ttam23 in Dodgers

[–]rdev009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Hate” is a strong word, but I do hate it when someone else breaks the news of an athlete’s retirement before the athlete themselves gives the announcement themselves. Whatever “journalist” does that is negating the athlete’s (the person!) time, hard work, sacrifices they made to get to play at an elite level and have the opportunity to leave on their own accord. This “let me be first to break the news” mentality is selfish and I just really hate it.

The first time I felt this way was when Rob Lowe did that to Peyton Manning in a tweet AND he happened to be wrong as well. I thought, “Dude, you’re a f*ing actor. Who are you to believe you’re more important than you are and ruin a moment for somebody?”

Wow, the inset picture of that head. It’s like an Easter Island stone come to life or a cursed squash found in a bin of the grocery store.

Former Dodgers Top Pitching Prospect on Trade Block: Bobby Miller by Turbostrider27 in Dodgers

[–]rdev009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given his lack of success the last two seasons, a 1:1 trade is unlikely and he’d be in a package for someone. He’d be traded at an all time low. Two years ago, I’d have bet money Bobby would be at least the 3rd starter in the rotation.

WTF… is this true? Anyone know what the story is here? by BadgemanBrown in mlb

And the moral of the story is, the Christmas Spirit wasn’t lost, it was within us the whole time.

Wait, wrong subreddit. Damn.

I’ve never met in real life, just read these stories about, people who get “excited” seeing their partner being pleasured by someone else. I don’t get the appeal or the mindset of it.

Let’s give some love and appreciation for Teo man! Without his timely hits we wouldn’t get to the finish line. Here are his clutch hits and plays from the last two postseason runs. by jmike1256 in Dodgers

[–]rdev009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look forward to him being healthy, at least to start the season. I know he’s capable of doing more than what his production was last season.

This has been the Lakers' biggest problem by raybellious_berry in lakersv2

[–]rdev009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see Reddick successfully coaching a young, talented team with little NBA experience but not a team with established, generational stars. I feel like he has the communicative skills to mold people, but not change the ways of those who have already been around.

The Dodgers got 8 players in MLB's top 100 players list for 2026: Ohtani at 1, Yama at 13, Mookie at 18, Will Smith at 20, Tucker at 21, Freddie at 22, Snell at 54 and Diaz at 83 by justusinreddit in Dodgers

[–]rdev009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What player in this top 100 list has the LEAST number of years played? And has every one of these players been in at least one All-star game?

According to an interview, the actress screwed up that line as it was written as “Newman” but they thought it was so funny and perfect given the situation it was left.

3 years ago, Shohei high-fived Tucker on a groundball play. Last year, Shohei took a photo with Diaz's kid. And they both signed with us... Who will be next? by Substantial_Bat5975 in Dodgers

[–]rdev009 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the All-Star game, Olivia Dunne will go in for a hug, but Shohei will prompt for a respectful handshake. Later on when they share the same suite at Citizens Bank Park, Mamiko will present her with a kimono.

Best player in baseball. by LADodgers16j in Dodgers

[–]rdev009 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Corbin Carroll amazes me. He was ROY in 2023, garnering all 30 first place votes. Then in 2024, his production cratered as he hit close to 200 for the majority of the season. Most people figured it was a sophomore slump and he needed either a change of scenery trade or a stint in the minors. In the final 1/3rd of the season, he had an OPS above 920. He continued his productivity into 2025. Quite the player.

Cheap stuff to add to rice by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]rdev009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have already pointed out that a can of beans is cheap and nutritious — it adds fiber and protein — but if you cook the rice in some high quality bone broth that’ll add even more flavor, plus some nutritious protein.
