My favorite thing about Angel Hernandez is that he regularly stares down fans for heckling him because he is a baby back bitch.

He apparently makes $400k a year, which man, it'd be kinda fun to be notoriously bad at my job for that scratch.

Steve McMichael famously got tossed by Angel for mocking him before singing the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley.

Ok yeah yeah, but there's no review or grading process that the union and MLB have agreed upon? MLB ump can't be some kind of lifetime appointment, these guys must have contracts that the league can choose to renew or not.

The NFL gives each official a grade after every game, and it determines if they get to do playoff games and if their contract is reupped. If the MLB had something like that in place I don't see how Angel Hernandez would still be around.

Oh there absolutely could and should be some kind of system like that, yeah. I’m just saying it’s hard in an adversarial system for it to have consequences on the level of someone getting fired.

Some sports here will send lovely referees down to the junior grades like an under performing player to let them fix their issues. Always seemed like a good idea to try and fix the problem. Not that games a division lower aren't important but there's less eyes and no gambling money and therefore a lot less scrutiny.

My lawnmower was purchased last spring for $20. It worked fine with no problems all summer. I have now brought it out and used it twice this spring. So far I have had to purchase a new control cable for $21 with shipping factored in, the back wheels won’t stay in place, and I had to use spare wire to reconnect the discharge port cover. My incredible investment is turning to poo poo and I hate it. On the plus side my lawn looks ok now.

$20 for a summer's work isn't a bad deal if you think about it, but maybe it's time to stop throwing money down that hole as it probably won't get better.

Angel Hernandez isn't the worst ump in terms of balls and strikes calling (he's bottom third, absolutely) but his issue is he's so quick to eject dudes who might rightfully think his call sucks. Most umps only toss guys if the manager asks for it as a morale booster or if they're REALLY being dicks, but Angel Hernandez fuckin ejected a 7th inning stretch singer because he made fun of him lmao

Angel Hernandez suing for discrimination seems iffy considering his struggle to see balls and strikes, I have to wonder if he can see race too.

Hernandez is also getting some more heat now because he is the most likely to act like he's the star of the show, which is a title he took when Joe West finally decided to gently caress off.

5'9"-5'10" is my height, and I towered over half the guys at the show I was at. Just a weird experience to have when I'm normally the shortest guy around.

Also, how much money has RG3 given Jefferey at this point just to make 1 post then get perma'd again? Like, I don't know the intricacies of how they detect permas who try and evade the system, but couldn't you just use a VPN and not make it completely obvious who you are while posting if you're so desperate to be here?

LEFT 4 DEAD IS A LOT LIKE FOOTBALL - I JERK OFF TO BOTH

Docjowles posted:

Yeah their first 3 albums are metal masterpieces imo, just banger after banger. I must have listened to each of them hundreds of times in high school once I discovered them. They lost me with the Load/Reload phase and I never really checked back in after that. I know they put out several more albums after that, are any of them any good?

Late as poo poo but all of the albums beyond St Anger are pretty decent for what they are. They all have some absolute bangers, some mid stuff and also a bit of garbage. They definitely veered way back into thrash territory with a lot of their late career output. The most recent album is actually pretty drat good and heavy when you consider they're 60 year old dudes playing heavy metal/thrash.

If you haven't seen them live I highly recommend it if you ever get a chance. They're legendary for being road warriors and having fantastic live shows and it still rings true to this day. I saw them again last November in Detroit, it was so cool seeing a metal band fill an NFL stadium in TYOOL 2023 and they kicked so much rear end.
