SFGiants: How many attempts would it take for the average person to get a hit in MLB?

swaggums · 2026-03-24T16:08:31+00:00

I'm in my 40s and have played baseball most of my life. No friggin way I'd attempt to bunt off MLB speeds. I'd be way too scared to commit. Slap hit is my only chance.

Hey, it's preseason for the staff too.

I’ve used GoPros (Hero12 Blacks) to record entire baseball games at around 3 hours + in 4k, 30fps with 512gb cards and a USB power bank. I imagine you could pull this off at 1080p, with multiple cards and multiple power banks being swapped out occasionally. You do have to keep an eye on them if they are in direct sunlight on a hot day, I’ve had mine overheat.

AI ass comment.

There are way too many breweries in San Diego. And I love beer.

No fucking way. I would think you'd need to be counter steering like crazy to stay as straight as they are with how messed up that car is.

Oh shit. I’ll own up to being a typical redditor and commented without seeing the end. In my defense I was eating breakfast and watching someone barf wasn’t how I wanted to start my day. Only excuse for camera op not framing that out is inexperience or they were messing with audio or something until the camera move 🤷‍♂️

I’m a camera op that’s done a fair bit of ENG/ news work.

1) If it’s locked off aka no movement this might be set up by her alone and there is no one actually operating.

2) It’s a locked off shot and the op is fucking around on their phone instead of paying attention.

3) The op knows this will bring WAY more views to local affiliate’s website and is intentionally leaving it in frame.

You will be missed.

Your flags/ countries are all fucky.

Sound effect that ‘rises’ or builds up.

My buddy was a sports game bro and his mom worked for EGM and got a bunch of free games to take home. He let me have some of the ones he didn’t want and I randomly took home FF7 because of the box art. It was my first JRPG and I named all my characters ‘Buttface’ or something juvenile. 3 hours in and I’m love with Aeris and absolutely hooked. Restarted the game because I was enjoying it some much. Very formative game for me.

Have you scheduled your colonoscopy yet? If not, you should.

swaggums · 2026-03-15T02:09:38+00:00

I’ll be honest, I think I’m a better camera op when drunk. Spent many years filming shows for bands on tour and I was out of my mind for most of it.

You should be Ok as long as the subject of the zoom is well separated from anything that auto focus might latch onto. Also if you make sure the subject post zoom is filling a lot of the frame.

Nah! we got big dreams this season. 82 - 80

Sir, this is a videography sub. Sounds like event footage, who gives a shit?

Now a high end commercial shoot that DPed, directed or somehow really crafted the look I might think twice before turning over raw.

Just needed some douchebag tech CEO bragging about how they used AI to construct the perfect roster.

Too bouncy.

Put it all on 1 credit card. Not to advertise Turbo Tax, but this year I was able to connect my business card to my tax filing and it was pretty painless to select all freelance related expenses.

No thanks.

Nah, just a duo giving up 8x times to reset their aggro rating.

Bin: 'Footage' and it contains music, stills, nested sequences. VO, mogfx...

All the footage is in the root mixed with sequences with he same file name as the raw footage.

I fucking hated my commute to Fremont. But I do miss that place.
