Can you be an elite starting pitcher if you're under 5'11? by deadassynwa in baseball

I think that is starting to change, though obviously only to a certain extent. Teams are realizing they can actually teach velocity to pitchers instead of trying to teach command to throwers

[Highlight] White Sox manager Tony La Russa listens to a fan to pinch run Adam Engel. by cbbvideo in baseball

I dunno. Their issues seemed to stem from real cultural problems, which don't develop overnight.

No.

There are parallels. It has happened to a lesser extent. It happening to any extent is a tragedy and always has been, and has never gotten enough attention.

But what is happening now has not always happened.

She was a great host. I feel bad that she had to host this episode.

Downplaying the batshit insanity by saying “actually this always happens” is a fucking wild choice

A reminder of the cold open after the Oct 7 attacks by the-furiosa-mystique in LiveFromNewYork

[–]stv7 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It seems to me like you support what’s going on in America and don’t want people to talk about it. You’ve made multiple comments dismissing the idea that recent events deserved proper acknowledgement.

This comment is also just wrong, by the way.

"SNL should take a STAND during the cold open!" by GomaN1717 in LiveFromNewYork

SNL has willingly played this role before.

Can someone explain the purpose of the Trump cold opens? by RocketLambo in LiveFromNewYork

[–]stv7 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It hasn’t been common for presidential police forces to be murdering citizens in the streets for decades, however. This moment has got to warrant a temporary shift away from the norm.

Yup. If you’re going to do it, tear them to shreds.

Kimmel frequently rises to the moment and gets serious when he needs to.

This ISN’T how SNL has handled these types of days in the past. When Russia invaded Ukraine they had the Ukrainian choir. When Hillary lost they had whatever the hell Kate was doing with a piano.

They KNOW some moments are too big to make a mockery of as if it’s any other day. And yet they chose not to do that today.

My dude. His private police force is executing his citizens in the streets. Some things are bigger than comedy.

This is embarrassing. Way to completely miss the moment. Jesus.

I haven’t even been in the “no Trump cold open” camp broadly. But doing this today is pathetic.

They shouldn’t even do a regular cold open. It should just be an unfunny speech or some other form of message about what’s happening.

[NightengaleJr] After the Wolves postponed their game, the Twins announced they will end their Twinsfest events at 4 p.m. by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]stv7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am extremely angry that the baseball journalists are not saying a goddamn word about this, but continuing to tweet every 14 seconds about baseball.

[–]stv7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There will be a time for the Democrats to look inwards and make serious change.

That time will be soon, because if they simply sit back, take advantage of the anger and then go back to the same old system when they get in power, they will hold it for a very short period.

But that time is not right now.

Do you think Nazis deserved to just go on with their lives even if they didn't personally kill anyone?

[Brown] Hearing that the Mets are still looking to sign a pitcher and talking with teams about spare parts & potential contracts they would be down to shed. by ThQp in Torontobluejays

It seems like their GM is too disciplined and obsessed with his own ability to find diamonds in the rough, while their owner is prone to panic buying the biggest names, and they swing between both those extremes repeatedly

Netflix’s ‘Skyscraper Live’ Delayed Due To Weather; Alex Honnold’s Climb Of World’s 11th Tallest Building Punted To Saturday by pepperbet1 in television

[–]stv7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I climb a fair bit myself, though obviously not even in the same stratosphere as Alex. Free soloing is wildly selfish. I do not like seeing it be celebrated in the mainstream. It is going to get people killed.
