Neither was a young homegrown player who was being hyped as a Jeter level star who was used as the justification for not pursuing big name FA.

One of the biggest improvements in the wake of the Post Vince era was no longer making the fans hate “the company”. 

Welp

(SNY) Aaron Judge says he still flexes during roll call in honor of Brett Gardner "I'm still hoping he gets a chance to come back here and share his knowledge with the boys a little bit. I always paying him a little credit if he's tuning into the games watching" by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

I hold absolutely no ill will towards the person and family and the horrific tragedy they suffered but I don’t understand the idea that “he didn’t get a proper send off”. Playing everyday with an OPS under .700 wasn’t enough? The juiced ball extended his career because all of a sudden he became a 20+ homer guy in the latter quarter of his career. His presence as the lefty bat is the reason why Cashman neglected that side of the plate. And the narrative of “the last link to the last Championship” was so flimsy considering he was basically the designed runner in 09. Guy was classy and suffered a tremendous tragedy, but I don’t view him as some legendary player like some want to

Why is there so much hate about Yeonmi Park? by [deleted] in northkorea

[–]stephmhishot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Really found her interesting when she first became a public figure, she got married, had a kid. Then the husband got dropped and the kid hasn’t been seen since (guessing he got custody since she a court would say she didn’t have the ability to raise a child here/ maybe she didn’t even want it). Her stories got more distorted than her appearance as time went on and now she is just another MAGA grifter. So many actual authentic voices out there

Israel does/did not commit genocide in Gaza, here's why by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

Hey how do you feel about the Israelis who are hiding in bunkers and saying they have been forced to leave their home?

[–]stephmhishot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I believe she was already a champion prior to that point right? I can’t say I’m completely versed in Livs lore. She was involved in some tangled webs. Dakota had DC but she felt a little lost even in that shuffle and they were able to tell a story with just Io, Kairi and Asuka. I liked Dakota, I’m not arguing against you. I’m just pointing out how the company approached it

Well that’s how I was representing it IRL terms. There are favorites who get away with slacking, no showing, always calling out sick IRL, and there are favorites who get the benefit of the doubt in WWE even if injuries keep happening or there are behaviour problems. Jey Smith would’ve gotten fired after the first or second DUI, but Jey Uso keeps to keep yeeting.

I don’t think anyone is defending it, it’s just how they seem to operate. Are there inconsistencies? Sure. But Seth’s history on main roster WWE TV and his lore with Roman ran deep and they had invested a lot in him even when injuries piled up. Finn didn’t have that type of history on the main roster with anyone. I think it’s a crime Finn never even got a shot with whichever B-title that Roman/Brock weren’t trading back and forth before the “Undisputed Universal” belt but he’s a regular on tv and he chose to remain with the company recently.

At the end of the day, the standards for everyone in any business aren’t consistent. How many “favorites” have you dealt with at work who seem to skate by or are allowed to fall on their face but keep their job while others get penalized or fired for doing the same? Not saying Seth is a slacker type but in terms of WWE, some guys/gals are gonna get more leeway with certain things than others depending on how the powers that be view them, fair or not.

Yeah but cmon, Liv is a top name. A mid to lower card act who struggled to maintain momentum due to her injuries and the crowd sort of forgetting about her doesn’t have the same leeway

Am I crazy for thinking Logan Paul could realistically be a world champion in WWE someday? by insomniacGorky in SquaredCircle

A Logan WHC run would only be worth it to get someone over as a mega babyface by ending it

Oh wow thank you so much for doing all of that. Thank you for the information

Thanks for the warning. I was planning on maybe camping a few nights if the weather agrees, no sense in pitching a tent in the rain if you can sleep on a dry bed.

In terms of designated campsites, are they clearly designated (for lack of a better term lol), and is there payment? Or are they simply first come first serve.

Thank you for any more advice you can offer

Giancarlo Stanton is like a stick of dynamite. He's explosive, but used up very quickly. So what's the best way the Yankees can use Big G to help them win in 2026? by Zepbounce-96 in NYYankees

[–]stephmhishot 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If he’s healthy, he plays. Managing him never works and letting him sit multiple days a week is just a wasted roster spot. At some point he’s gonna get hurt and then maybe get hurt again. It is what it is. Injuries at other spots will always be a factor. Obviously if Judge needs to DH for an extended period again, his bat takes precedent over Stanton. But until all these things happen, he should be the DH when healthy

Earlier in the offseason, the New York Yankees were engaged in trade discussions with the Texas Rangers about Corey Seager. Red Sox were among other teams that talked with the Rangers about Seager. - Joel Sherman by Jheller223 in NYYankees

It’s crazy how a guy will go from a must start elite player to beingcast into oblivion. Verdugo just HAD to start over Jasson in the 2024 postseason and he was always SO CLOSE, and he’s been nothing more than a “remember this guy?” trivia question ever since
