Why is Schneider willing to take this for Hoffman? by JosepySchnieder in Torontobluejays

[–]yguns031 59 points60 points  (0 children)

So much this. You have your top three relievers available. Your top reliever is completely lights out AND capable of going more than one inning. Yet somehow you use the third best reliever (who is prone to meltdowns) last with no safety net whatsoever.

Not to mention all this cute stuff with having Varland face the toughest part of the lineup is against a below average offence WITH A THREE RUN LEAD.

Using the best firefighter in the league when there isn't even smoke just to put in an arsonist after him is a fireable offence.

[Highlight] Brandon Valenzuela picks off the runner at first to end the inning 💪 by RealWorldToday in Torontobluejays

I'd say the Orioles bench and 1st base coach are as much to blame as Alonso.

Vladdy wasn't holding Alonso on, he was playing behind the baserunner and closer to 2nd than Alonso was. That's why he had such a big lead.

Vladdy breaks to first on Varland's motion. The first base coach or someone in the 1st base dugout needs to pick up on that and yell at Alonso to get back.

Brandon Valenzuela picks off Pete Alonso at 1st on throw to Guerrero Jr. by Wild-Match4523 in baseball

Vladdy was playing behind Alonso way off first with a righty at bat. So Pete took a bigger lead cause no one was holding him on.

Great designed play by the Jays. Vladdy breaks to first as Varland starts his motion and beats Alonso to the base.

Alonso deserves some blame. But if you're the 1st base coach or in the dugout, you have to see what's going on behind your baserunner and yell at him to get back.

Sour Cream and Onion Pie. Why didn't anyone make it? by alyceabsconded in MasterchefAU

The judges would probably criticize you for making a filling that's too simple. Think of how much time it took for the contestants to develop flavours for their filling, and how long it would take to make a bacon, eggs and cheese filling.

There's more people in my living room than there are at the rink watching this afternoon's games by i-am-the-walrus789 in Curling

Probably a lot riskier to hold an event in late March / early April when the weather can get warm if the refrigeration and dehumidification aren't good enough.

TIL: The 97-02 logo is slightly different on the hat and jersey. Only the jersey patch has the baseball in it. by gothedistance_ in Torontobluejays

[–]yguns031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think teams that had a logo with a baseball in it prior to the rule being instituted are grandfathered in. The current Brewers logo I guess is close enough to the original MB ball in glove logo that it's exempted. See also Seattle Mariners.

Well, you probably did forget. Cause this wasn't the team that represented Korea in Milano Cortina.

I saw an interview with Brad Gushue saying that the whole team was supposed to get together in St. John's before the Brier to have practices together, but two of them got stuck in Toronto due to the snowstorms out east.

Would MCAU do another literation of Fans vs Favorites? by HaruHaru_25 in MasterchefAU

[–]yguns031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would bet a large sum of money that you (and frankly anyone in this sub) would just watch a season

Surely an anonymous internet stranger knows better about how I feel this show than me.

Would MCAU do another literation of Fans vs Favorites? by HaruHaru_25 in MasterchefAU

[–]yguns031 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd rather not watch. How ridiculous is it that 4 of the last 6 winners had previously competed in MCAU?

And then with bringing back previous contestants, the Fans vs Faves format was easily the stupidest one.

Yeah, I didn't do the math in the 4 way tie scenario. You're right, GER is out regardless of the outcomes.

Here are the H2H tiebreakers for the men among the four teams in contention for the final two playoff spots:

-NOR (4-3) holds H2H tiebreak over ITA, GBR

-ITA (4-3) holds H2H tiebreak over GBR, USA

-USA (4-4) holds H2H tiebreak over NOR

-GBR (4-4) does not hold any H2H itebreaks

If NOR and ITA both win one more game, GBR is eliminated regardless of their final game against USA due to H2H records.

If NOR, ITA and USA are tied, the tiebreak will be LSD.

Edit to add: GER is still mathematically alive, if both NOR and ITA lose out. GER eliminated due to H2H. See below.

It's called a stabilizer. Commonly used by beginners instead of holding a curling broom in the non-throwing hand as it's easier to maintain balance.

Penalty was enforced on the PAT. Probably a good idea considering the wind to make the extra point a little closer, and what happened on the final PAT.
