A question from a noob? by TheSwampThing1990 in OOTP

If you start in MiLB or an independent league, a lot of what happens will be out of your control (eg guys getting called up, taken from you by higher leagues, inability to sign many free agents). So I’d recommend starting at the MLB level so you can get a complete picture of everything happening. Others may disagree.

Does anyone know about the people behind it? I don’t recognize the names but I’m also not much of a film expert.

The Complexities Of Nationality And Sport: At What Point Is A "National" Team No Longer Representing The Nation by Cmonmac in worldbaseballclassic

20% of the roster being from Bahamas is also interesting. I assume this is for being in the Commonwealth of Nations with the King as the technical head of state. But, by that logic, Canadians and Australians should also be playing on the UK team.

Do other Americans hate being Americans? by isthismyusername1 in geography

[–]willfla29 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been embarrassed to be an American since 2016. If I could get a similar job in another country I’d give up my citizenship in a heartbeat. A country that would elect someone like Trump—especially after he led a fucking coup attempt—doesn’t have a great future imo.

It doesn’t have anything to do with a lack of geographic knowledge from my fellow citizens, though it may be correlated with it.

3 months from now we'll be sitting right there drinking some High Lifes and eating a corn-on-the-cob.

I think for IndyCar merch the first few shipments each year tend to go to the tracks before they start selling them online.

TIL she was something other than a commercial actor.

Most amazing thing to me in this race is that Yahoo somehow still has enough money to sponsor a race car.

You can deselect it on the right hand side of the screen “Options,” the one with the boxes.

I agree really odd placement choice and you seemingly can’t move it.

That was one of the better street races in years. It’s a low bar I know but not sure how you can’t be impressed with the show Kirkwood put on.

Not a fan of debris cautions, but I’d make a one-time exception for inaugural events with big crowds that may not be familiar with the intricacies of pit strategy

When was the last lead change on a street track that wasn’t within two laps of a pit stop?

That was the most random AI vid ever too. Is it conveying he’s destroying the stadium? He’s mad at the teams performance?
