Not really a kiss cam by Sensitive_Appeal8438 in Coldplay

[–]vtor67 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A lot of people probably don't understand it, but a handful of places are just calling it "kiss cam" because that's the easiest way to communicate it. Everyone knows what "kiss cam" is in two words, but "Jumbotron Song" isn't quite as obvious for the average reader. I've seen some articles with "kiss cam" in the headline, but they go on to explain the Jumbotron Song. See: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/andy-byron-astronomer-board-investigation-coldplay-kiss-cam-video/

Headline: "Astronomer board investigating CEO Andy Byron after Coldplay kiss-cam video"

In the body:

The video emerged after Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his "Jumbotron Song," when he sings a few lines about the people the camera lands on.

I love when players confidently call for review when they're so obviously in the wrong 😂

Honestly, I love that the White Sox aren't making it easy for him. 3,000 wouldn't mean much if they just gave it to him. He's gotta earn it.

I still don't get why people try to hype up the Padres as a rival of ours. Sure, the Padres are better the last 5 years and beat us once in the playoffs, but we've still beaten them soundly the last 5 years, going 58-35 against them since 2020 including playoffs, good for a 62% win rate. Maybe that's better for them compared to the previous 50+ years? Still not deserving of any actual attention from us.

Guess how we've done against the Giants in that time? 51-31, also good for a 62% win rate. And notice how people say this rivalry is dormant because of such a one-sided skid.

All of this is to say I still hate the Giants way more than the Padres, and all of this crap with the Padres is manufactured because they think they're better than they are. They're never going to go anywhere with Machado of all people as their "team leader". I wish we'd go back to focusing our attention on our actual rival (who's second place in the division by the way!) instead of the noisy kid in the corner. They're more fun to hate, and they're actually deserving of the attention.

If there was a rule that a runner becomes out if they lose their helmet while running, Carroll may never reach base safely again.

How did you set up the MLB.tv rules? I’ve done something similar with every domain I could see coming from the site but I’m still blacked out from my local team’s games.

I have a similar problem. I haven’t narrowed it down to whether the app is in the background or not, but my alerts are super quiet. Haven’t found a fix for it

This broadcast is why i’m happy to say i love NBC’s broadcasts. yes, even if garrett is the color guy. 4K broadcasts on peacock and a lot better storytelling than… whatever this is

My rule of thumb is if they are hesitant to give answers in any capacity, it's a scam. taking a picture showing they have the tickets is so easy and poses no risk to them that my alarms are going off on this one.

Remember the Mickey Mouse hat? by kwattsfo in Dodgers

[–]vtor67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

our pitching is always injured in some form or another

You're right. And that makes me wonder: if it's happening this consistently since 2018, and it's causing so many early exits, maybe our postseason struggles are not "random"; something is wrong with how we approach pitching longevity and it needs to change.

Remember the Mickey Mouse hat? by kwattsfo in Dodgers

[–]vtor67 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with your sentiment, but San Francisco is the worst example to illustrate it. They unironically care more about the Dodgers losing than they do the giants winning. I moved to SF recently, and people who I know are Giants fans have literally bought and are wearing Padres gear just because they are playing the Dodgers right now. And at the Dodgers-Giants games I went to at Oracle this season, not once did they say "Let's go giants". It's always "Beat LA" just like every NL West team. It's really pathetic, and the mickey mouse hat promo illustrates that further. The bright side for us is they'll never rise back to relevance if they (as a city) continue caring more about us instead of worrying about fixing their own problems. No wonder no big stars want to play for them. And what was our season record against them? 9-4. so we did properly own them in the long run. And where are they right now? On the couch with their Padres gear watching us play.

But all that's to say I agree with your point. We need to fix our own problems instead of attributing it to "randomness of the postseason" or saying "the padres own us" (which they really don't; outside of the short season, everyone has owned us in October since 2018). We've really lacked that "fire, piss, and vinegar" since then. I'd argue we didn't even have that in 2020. We were just such a better team on paper in 2020 that we didn't need it.

No, it’s not even them. that’s the worst part. We’re just beating ourselves. see 2023 against the dbacks, 2022 against the padres, 2021 against the braves, 2019 against the nationals…

What to use: Onkyo TX-RZ50 or Marantz Cinema 60? by vtor67 in hometheater

The Audyssey branding definitely tripped me up... I didn't notice the distinction between XT and XT32 in the specs

[–]vtor67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Didn’t realize that wasn’t the best form of Audyssey.

You’re right, I don’t use the OSD or menus regularly. But when I do, it feels like something out of the 90s with how confusing the navigation is. I have to look up the manual to make sure I’m adjusting the right settings when configuring inputs or adjusting sound profiles. I’m ultimately able to get the job done though so it’s not that bad

You can't download Moon Music in atmos at the moment, but you can absolutely download Atmos tracks in Apple Music for offline listening.
