mcmagic posted:I don't know that moving it will help but I know it won't hurt and it might help. That is enough for me. I can't believe I'm agreeing with mcmagic. drat you, the future! Take one for the team or don't, but don't pretend nobody is gonna get hurt when harm is intended on every side. If it was my sacrifice to make, for the greater good, I would in a heartbeat. Disenfranchisement is a denial of basic humanity, so whatever it takes to put a stop to that immediately and permanently is probably worth doing. I'm not exactly sure what this dumbass small business owner in Baltimore can realistically do in this situation, but I'm open to ideas because treating humans like they are humans is the whole reason I started this shop.

I know that guy died and HOTLANTA still probably posts or something but, like, honestly I'm betting we could write a HOTLANTA soundboard post generator and not notice. [edit:]dammit BOTLANTA MAN would be an awesome name

Tweezer Reprise posted:that’s not what anybody remotely said, the sentiment was more “don’t be a prick about it, as if your vitriol towards fellow posters that mostly agree with you actually accomplishes anything material” Hey, lashing out at your friends and then criticizing them for being hurt when you're an rear end is a time-honored tactic. Works great for the problem of having friends.

I like baseball, and the Nats are dumb and their dumbyheadedness is preventing me from watching the Nats this weekend. I am stuck watching the Orioles. Truly the worst of all possible worlds.

RC and Moon Pie posted:I saw a game at the Trop in 1998. It felt like a slightly bigger basketball arena, but I can't recall much on specifics, other than parking was horrible. I went to a Rays game a couple of years ago at the Trop, and club level tickets had a face value of a hundred and twenty five bucks. I was amazed, because the four tickets we had still cost less than my wife and I to sit in the sun at Nats Park. So my well whiskey was paid for already, and I had a good time. And the Orioles won.

Maybe there is a Covid exemption idk Not only is this completely wrong and kinda shortsighted, there are and have been cashless businesses for at minimum decades. Usually if someone balks to me about it, I give them a number of easy alternatives and then point out the literal actual plot of the hit video game Tom Clancy's The Division, in which a weaponized form of the flu causes societal collapse because its main vector was twenty dollar bills released on black friday. Weird how that one hits home, huh?

Golden Corral doesn't share pork bun. I think their target audience wouldn't get it anyway. Honestly I've only ever been to one buffet ever that had them, some random chinese buffet in Philly, they also had a Mongolian grill and surprisingly good pastry, but the only reason I went there was to eat my own body weight in pork bun. Mmmmmmmmm...

Bird in a Blender posted:Now I’m wondering why MLB teams aren’t getting some sprinters and just teaching them to lay down bunts, or bringing them in as pinch runners in the playoffs. Mostly because they, uh, can't, by and large. The pinch-runner-sprinter thing has been tried a couple of times but it's not worth the roster slot, and even bunting an MLB pitch is a mighty feat beyond the ken of mortal men.

Traxis posted:He was never home plate ump in a game where Lo Duca caught Wagner, so it was obvious the story was bullshit from the beginning. Ah so it was just being lazy he's being punished for, not actually defaming a dude whose reputation presumably can't really get any worse and faced literally no monetary losses because of a spurious accusation? I mean don't get me wrong I'm all for true things I just wish I didn't so strongly dislike everyone involved.

There's a component to reactionary rules changes that just feels...arbitrary. Like decreeing thus illegal but the only real justification you can muster is that you don't really have any idea what to actually do about it. The seven inning doubleheader seems particularly egregious to me; basically every baseball stat is predicated on nine innings or some aspect thereof but regularly shortened games becoming an accepted variance rather than a wild outlier makes this clearly a new era of stats. Hooray the guys who figure out how to compare deadball-era guys to 70's players, I guess. Same for the runner on second: one of the inviolable rules of this dumb game was that getting on base was directly attributable. Even the dropped third strike is a K and an E2, though the inconsistency in number of outs (vs Ks) always bugged me. I dunno. I'm all for a more moment-to-moment appealing game and if strikeouts are the prime culprit there maybe The Baseball Gods oughta take a glance at what's letting pitchers throw harder and with more variance longer and more regularly than shuffling the other eight guys on the field who've got little to do with it. Basically ban the DH and the relief pitcher and you'll get the baseball you want, nerds.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:According to ESPN an 8 man committee determined in 1991 that a game must go at least 9 innings to officially be recorded as a no hitter. This is a big reason why two sevens doesn't make any sense to me. You're literally taking opportunities to be great away from players.

mcmagic posted:Bauer is annoying but he's right lol Tatis did peek. And? If it was such an issue you could pretty easily juke a hitter by setting up out of place and moving after or just changing your signs. Bauer is just the kind of guy who insists he couldn't possibly have done poorly.
