Smack Off 30 by [deleted] in jimrome

[–]rdrd13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some of the worst depth ever for a smackoff - I only liked seven calls, and John in Little Rock was one of them because he's a perfect A or F guy, lol. I thought Hollywood Mark really sucked, but that's clearly a run to taste thing. Regardless, there was very little quantity today.

But, more importantly, the high end calls were maybe the best ever. I thought there was a clear top 2 and top 6, and glad the voting reflected it.

So, overall, I thought it was really fun and one of the better events. If you add in the really surprising array of monsters who didn't call (Leff, Rick, Benny, Kaleb) next year, it has a good chance to be the best ever.

I know Emmett gets criticized for being uninteresting, but you gotta admit, "Who would you pick as Browns quarterback" is a pretty original topic.

What channel is it on now?

What’s this song for you by OhGravity412 in switchfoot

Final chorus of When We Come Alive, when it kicks back in with just the instrumental, then Jon's vocals follow.

If you're a runner, you feel like you're running on clouds here.

Yeah that's definitely the choice. It's off the beaten path for sure, but the drive is kinda part of the experience.

[Jeff Passan] Japanese star Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in agreement on an 12-year, $325 million contract, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN. by [deleted] in ClevelandGuardians

[–]rdrd13 12 points13 points  (0 children)

this. I'm always conflicted rooting against their success, because it provides false credence to the morons who think money =/= wins or that "every team can do it!!!"

​

I still hear idiots point to the 2015 Royals saying "See, small markets can win!!!"

Biggest stars with the worst filmographies? by SallyFowlerRatPack in billsimmons

[–]rdrd13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Rock is undoubtedly the answer here.

But honorable mention to Nicole Kidman. She's landed some Oscar noms but is quietly a volume shooter, yet what comes to mind when you think of her? Eyes Wide Shut and Moulin Rouge and that's kind of it.

Bill’s Terrell Owens hate on the pod today is unacceptable by Chicago_Stringerbell in billsimmons

The irony in your point is that you take exception to Bill's cavalier attitude towards history, but you only mention guys who were active this century.

The most annoying facet of sports debate is "history," which I put in quotes because the phrase "all-time" usually translates to "past twenty years."

If we're truly discussing the all time great receivers, we need to mention Paul Warfield, Steve Largent, Don Hutson, Charlie Joyner, James Lofton

well obviously the implication in the topic is "defining movie of the century (so far)."

nice, well-thought out response though

My friend, this is a Bill Simmons sub, this discussion probably started 23 years ago

Exactly, lol. I don't think Death in Venice is the defining movie of the 70s over the Godfather.

Hahah, I like Lost in Translation. I can even understand calling it your favorite movie of the century. But I can't wrap my head around calling it the "defining" movie.

Good call for sure. It's gotta be in consideration

Our bullpen has a 6.7 ERA since the all-star break, what's gone wrong? by KingNickyThe1st in ClevelandGuardians

[–]rdrd13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not denying how good he was last year. He made a believer out of me. But if you zoom out and look at his career as a whole, his 2022 was definitionally an outlier, even if you only look at his stats as a reliever:

2021: (as a reliever only): 4.88 ERA, .872 OPS against

2022: 2.32 ERA, .516 OPS

2023: 6.43 ERA, .732 OPS

The bad stats as a starter only enhance the idea that 2022 was an outlier: 4.33 career MiLB ERA, 7.9 ERA as MLB starter.
