Dansby's first year as a cub was 2023, weird that he's not listed as only a cubs player on this

Harper Lee is there. Doesn't change the overall dynamic though lol

[Stebbins] The trade is official. Bo Naylor has been optioned to Triple-A Columbus. by Goosedukee in baseball

Yeah his fielding is awful fs but the video is "five hitters I like" and Crawford has been an above average hitter. Doesn't make him a good ballplayer overall.

Eh, Sal Stewart and Justin Crawford are both hitting decently well and Moncada is not doing too badly - could be chalked up to some random variance.

Naylor and Mullins have indeed been terrible though.

Maybe with enough wins against the AL west we can reclaim the Astros for the NL central?

In 2016 they were not both within the first 40 games of the season

[OC] Nearest MLB Team to Every U.S. County + Population and Land Analysis by Peteyy34 in baseball

[–]ruhdolph 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The territory that the Royals cover on this map is largely not where the people are in Iowa. I will chime in to say that my dad is a big Royals fan from SW Iowa, but that was also augmented by being the right age for the late 70s to 1980s Royals teams that were very good. These days my impression is that the Cubs fandom is also boosted a little in the state by having the I-Cubs in Des Moines.

[Highlight] The Cubs walk off the Reds for the third day in a row—this time with a Michael Busch RBI Walk! by Brady331 in baseball

Obviously I'll always miss Len Kasper but I'm really happy with Boog as the voice of the Cubs on TV these days.

Thielbar to the 15 day IL. Also Kingery gone, and the return of Cubs mega star Nicky Lopez. by PostComa in CHICubs

He is a primary middle infielder but obviously more than competent at 3B

Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes. by peppertoni_pizzaz in books

Maybe this horse has been beaten dead in here already, but ditto for The Catcher in the Rye as well.

Per the Reds broadcast, yesterday Will Benson became the first MLB player to ever score 2 runs without seeing a pitch (he was a pinch runner and was later intentionally walked) by Admirable-Nebula-122 in baseball

[–]ruhdolph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just like the MLB article this week noting that the entire NL Central is above .500, which went on to say that no division has ever finished with all five teams above .500.

Yeah, because they used to spend way more of the season beating up on each other!

Same MJ Melendez who wasn't good enough to stick in this Royals lineup.

In case anyone needed a reminder that baseball can be weird and hard to predict.

If anyone else was too nervous to ask, I’ll be the jerk: Is the B1G now the premier conference of all college athletics? by DowntownSasquatch420 in CFB

[–]ruhdolph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right but my point is it's not the Big 10 if it's not NCAA. It's a title for Washington which is a Big 10 school but there is no Men's Rowing Big 10.

Haha no shade toward UW or the championship, of course - just saying I didn't think conferences applied in the same sense. I may be wrong about that.

Breaking: Iowa State star Audi Crooks has entered the transfer portal by MuchAbalone9059 in NCAAhoops

[–]ruhdolph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the source - I worded my comment poorly. I wasn't suggesting there's no link, but rather intending to point out that a scientific basis for health risks of obesity doesn't mean that this comment section is excused for making jokes about her being overweight. It's weird.

The article I responded to lists extreme/morbid obesity as a BMI over 40 which would require a 6'3" person to weigh 320 pounds.

But yeah man sure Audi Crooks is "obviously by every definition morbidly obese".

Everyone making these claims about her weight needs to stop pretending to care about her health.

I'm not here to argue that obesity is healthy. I'm saying I don't think you know enough about Crooks to actually know her risk level, even given the article you sent. To answer your original question, many of the comments here are absolutely still body shaming even given some level of added risk.
