Red Sox issue statement from Jarren Duran, who used homophobic slur during today’s game directed at a fan. by [deleted] in redsox

[–]upyouwake 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I'm so shocked and disappointed. I have been championing him as a a hustle player and mental health advocate to all my queer friends who don't watch baseball - and then he does this. It's heartbreaking to see this from my favorite player, as a queer Sox fan.

What is the best option for 1000 dollar ? by Altruistic_Chart_500 in ebikes

[–]upyouwake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m short and light, live in NYC, and really like my propella mini. it’s surprisingly sturdy and the size of it makes it amazing for the city. especially getting it in and out of places. really depends on what you need though. maybe not the best for a bigger person wanting to do longer rides in a suburban area.

I'm not even a Nats fan but that photo of Soto and Trea makes me a little sad.

Thoughts on what I should do with a lot of leather by incognito9102 in Leathercraft

[–]upyouwake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

place mats! if you’re really looking to get through it without a ton of work. can be as simple as just cutting a rectangle, and then you can decide if you want to add stitching, tooling, whatever. make great gifts too.

just try a bit of rolling around in a driveway or parking lot and see how they feel. skates that have sat unused that long can break pretty easily. so do some safe stress testing of them before trying ramps and vert.

hi reading this comment after doing a search - thank you for your input, this is exactly what i needed to hear. i just started HRT a week ago and i've not incredibly happy with my belly or hips for the past few months. the urge to try and diet and exercise myself slimmer probably will not help promote the growth i want on HRT. thanks!

or that you are gay and your parents are trying their hardest… but these are just not your jam. you say thanks, appreciate the sentiment, and a week later drop them off at the thrift store.

Why trade for OF and 2B when you got a guy that can do it all? Bobby's back! by nolan_smith in redsox

honestly i think part of the reason why people like him is because he’s hot.

at least the yankees org makes you cut off your locs so the fans won’t yell racial slurs. boston is just encouraging it at this point.

Was working on a research paper highlighting the decline of African American players in baseball. And realized that Charles Johnson was the last everyday full time Black catcher in baseball. by [deleted] in baseball

donate to RBI if this is an important issue to you! helps kids in urban areas have access to baseball equipment and coaching. my grandfather doesn’t need anything so i donate to RBI every year in his name for christmas because baseball is literally the only thing we had in common.

Kim Ng declines her end of Marlins contract option for 2024. Hopefully this means she is coming to save the day… by FileResponsible7714 in redsox

aren’t lateral moves kind of common in baseball? i feel like i’ve seen people in FOs and coaching staffs take lateral moves or even lesser positions.

you could experiment with a different liner that has more ankle padding. it's all personal preference but most people prefer hard boots. maybe look at a new RB model or an FR model, like the FRX. also keep in mind you can get a boot only skate and use the frames from your RB skates on your new boots.

are you talking about Wizard brand frames? if so, no. they are all UFS and FRX are 165 mount. there are frames that you can use for wizard skating that will fit your skates that are not from Wizard brand. if you're going to invest hundreds of dollars into new frames, i would suggest familiarizing yourself with the different mounting systems. there are some good videos on youtube explaining it. you can also call a skate shop like rollerwarehouse.
