  1. Pretty pretty pretty good weekend for Tsunoda. Lawson, well, not so much. RBR, fix your pit light system. Great drive by Piastri. Dude's a machine. George has all the finesse of a brick in tight, wheel to wheel racing. I think the Astons only kept the cars on the track just to collect data. Really. If the softs can last that long, then why even bring other compounds? The tire situation in F1 is a pathetic joke.
  2. Ross's brother?
  3. So, about the LOVB final ... Edited to add spoiler tags, just in case.
  4. Yep. Bitchass coach. Bush-league redneck program.
  5. Jesus. Get the ice bath ready for Mendoza. LOL as I'm typing that the announcer says the same thing.
  6. Farmer actually swinging the bat today. Crazy.
  7. I mean, I've seen people get hits off of swings just like that one, lots of times. IMHO baseball in general is way too lenient on that. If the bat enters the strike zone, then it should be a strike. Period.
  8. Uh ... that's a fucking swing.
  9. Yeah my kid didn't even play HS ball but I'm pretty sure he could hit better than .125 out there. He was recruited by another school though, but didn't wanna transfer. Our 8/9 guys look like they've never seen a bat or a ball.
  10. Lefties get away with balks all the got damn time ... as if it wasn't already hard enough on the baserunner going against 'em.
  11. Yep and if you lose the pads, that shit is virtually eliminated, stat, and if they still get away with it, at least they have to pay for it with pain and/or injury. Complete fucking bullshit.
  12. That play by Riojas and the play earlier by Mendoza, just fucking outstanding.
  13. This fuckin guy with the leaning in bullshit. Just get rid of the fucking elbow pads ffs. Such bullshit.
  14. Gotta have the car or, with rare exception, you ain't winning it. And boy did Lewis ever have the car. IIRC 2023 was his only year in an F1 car that wasn't a race winner. Lewis is/was awesome, but if Michael doesn't decide to retire when he does - when Lewis desperately wanted out of Mclaren, was without a ride for the next year, and was looking for any good landing place - Lewis is very likely still a 1xWDC (which is great, don't get me wrong). He'd have been on the outside looking in with everyone else, while Nico very likely becomes a multiple WDC and maybe Michael pads his total on the way out if he could beat Nico, which is far from a given considering their respective form as teammates. A Merc driver was gonna win those WDCs either way, and who knows, maybe 2021, too. I also still really think Lewis was ready to retire as a champion in 2021, and only stayed because that didn't happen. No proof of course. Just my gut. I doubt he'll ever be that sharp again. But who knows. I'd be happy for him to be that guy again. It'd be great for the show.
  15. Weird. Mine's good.
  16. Literally the worst bunt imaginable in that situation lol.
  17. Man, having a guy like Volantis, with his flexibility, is going to be a huge luxury in the post season.
  18. What's that stupid dance?
  19. Yeah I've had a problem for a while with these 'elbow guards' that stick out way beyond the elbow. Guys are taking balls to the elbow, or as in this case leaning into them, when more often than not they'd bail if they didn't have the guard. It's bullshit. Glad they called that one. They get away with that bullshit way too often.
  20. JFC. Fuck you, blue.
  21. Wish I knew some specifics of what he's referring to there. I guess it'll come out though, in time.
