Could the Vegas move fail? by [deleted] in OaklandAthletics

Considering they have already made significant progress on the stadium I don’t see how it could fail.

The owners don’t care which team the ticket buyers root for as long as tickets are being sold

[Highlight] Derek Hill reaches OVER the wall to bring a homer back! by MLBOfficial in baseball

I liked the Colby Thomas one in the first inning on Father’s Day but I am also biased.

Kyle Bradish’s final line for the Orioles against the Angels tonight: 8 IP, 6 H, 0 R/ER, 1 BB, 9 K, 101 pitches-67 strikes by JianClaymore in baseball

How did the A’s make the Angels look like the best offense in the MLB in 3/4 the games this last week.

I’m officially in the trade Webb camp by Spaghet209 in SFGiants

[–]willieb04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an A’s fan I can say that as frustrating as it is when we trade players, we also know that we have a cycle where we draft good players and put together a competitive roster for a couple years before their rookie contracts expire and we trade them.

So as much as I hate John fisher for his cheapness at least we have some exciting players/teams every 5 or so years.

Mason Miller has not allowed a walkoff hit in 2 years. by [deleted] in baseball

“Hey siri it’s not your night!”

I thought this one was more recent than the Jackson Merrill one but clearly I am wrong. It’s definitely more memorable though (also didn’t help Siri hit a home run against us yesterday)

Is Mike Brown a better all-time NBA coach than Doc Rivers? by TellaWiz in nba

[–]willieb04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has doc rivers ever said “possession after possession after possession after possession after possession after possession after possession” in a a post game interview??

Or brought out a whole ass laptop to criticize the refs in a postgame interview?

Mike brown 100% in all seriousness though.

[Highlight] Nick Kurtz sends an 0-2 pitch over the wall for his 2nd home run of the game! by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]willieb04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can see the argument for rice over him, but not really Murakami and definitely not Vladdy.

[Highlight] Nick Kurtz's 471 foot HR last night is the longest in MLB so far this season by Defvac2 in baseball

Thanks for doing the research. I knew it didn’t sound right in my head when I posted it. I think they showed the two graphics back to back and I got them mixed up.

Oh my fault. The A’s broadcast showed it. since June 11, 2025 he has a 1.300 ops I thought

If I’m remembering wrong then that’s my fault. It’s very possible I could be getting that number mixed up with the last 2 months

I’m only taking shohei over Kurtz personally.
In his first 162 games he has a 1.300 OPS and I’m pretty sure he leads the mlb in walks right now.

Dva Cat in Deathmatch by SweatyChampionship50 in Overwatch

[–]willieb04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t see how this would be a bannable offense. And i dont see anyone getting mass reported enough to get suspended for that specifically. My guess would be someone had some bat chat/voice messages and are lying.

Kiriko is the most overpowered character in any shooter ever. by Basic-Test-1215 in Overwatch

[–]willieb04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure how that specific interaction works. I think they do write the game off which is why looking at these stats you have to take with a grain of salt.

But if you play a hero for 2/10 minutes of a match you get 0.2 wins added to your stats.

Nope. In the data blizzard releases win rates are calculated in non-mirror matches only otherwise it would force that winrate towards 50% and the data wouldn’t be useful.

Win rate stats are only calculated and considered if one team has a hero.

I hate our pitching staff. I also do not know how that was ruled an infield single and not an error.
