  1. Important announcement: I am seated for a Major League Baseball regular season game. Baseball is back!!!
  2. I think the problem is if you do everything then you'll just get all these great cards (like you can clean up with adding top cards at the Gold Saucer). If you just play QB with the store bought decks and cards you win from the opponents it is likely a lot more balanced.
  3. In the club level, the Orioles have every team's team photo with the main player stats (batting avg, ERA, etc). They also have the two Commissioners Trophies (the '66 title was won before the trophy became a thing), and most of the individual awards won by players throughout the team's history. My dad and I were at a game where the rain caused a 90 minute delay last year and that was just enough time to get through all of it without stalling in spots. Everything else to do to pass time requires spending money. And at least Orioles games have backed off airing out of town games on the screen while we wait for our game to start (though maybe this will change under new ownership).
  4. Speaking of, I'm not sure what the late game QB looks like but right now in Chapter 10 the games are all cakewalks. Hoping there's some curveballs at the end of the road.
  5. It's very likely going to be a delayed start to the game tomorrow. Rain is expected to clear out around 3pm but they have pregame ceremonies on top of the time spent getting the field ready. It's fine though. I'll sit there waiting for a few extra hours if I have to.
  6. It's a decent possibility he gets that trophy on his first try too!
  7. Gongaga was brutal at times. It was really the area that felt the mostly flawed in terms of execution. However the core storyline part of that region was fantastic - the main part of this game just doesn't fucking miss.
  8. As of an hour ago the Orioles are no longer owned by the Angelos family. It's over. It's finally over.
  9. I saw Kvara went off injured in the 109th minute which, needless to say, is potentially huge. And would be unfortunate if he misses Euro, though still months off.
  10. I will not get invested in that show until I hear, years down the line, that they stuck the landing.
  11. Lamar Jackson played just a few series in the HOF game after we drafted him. And he was one of a handful of guys in that game who even had a shot at making the week 1 roster.
  12. Newcastle 2-1 West Ham (Sat 12.30pm, TNT) Bournemouth 1-0 Everton (Sat 3pm) Sheff Utd 0-2 Fulham (Sat 3pm) Liverpool 2-1 Brighton (Sun 2pm, Sky) Man City 1-1 Arsenal (Sun 4.30pm, Sky)
  13. Also they're going to play a Wednesday game this year (Christmas Day).
  14. Oh so it's going to be a rule that can't ever be interpreted correctly. Wonderful.
  15. I am curious what will separate non-shortlist players from those getting in right away in the future. Obviously a currently active player like Harry Kane or Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't need to be put up to a vote once they retire. But there's presumably going to be years where that slam dunk inductee isn't there and do they just look at the prior year's shortlist for the best player who didn't get in?
  16. I just knew this was coming when Mark Andrews got hurt from one on primetime TV. I kinda don't like it because you've already told defensive players where else they can't make or initiate contact. The space gets smaller and smaller. I'm surprised it was unanimous.
  17. I want John Terry to get in just to see if he dons a full kit for his induction ceremony.
  18. I agree with that top 5. You wouldn't trade up for a WR and Arizona seems committed to a quantity over quality currently. Marvin Jr in a Greg Roman offense is hilarious. His WRs don't typically have numbers well below career averages or anything but the routes are awful and designed to open up space for TEs. I've wondered if they'll trade down to get Bowers but without a top WR on the roster they're definitely taking one of them at 5. Ravens are definitely going OT or CB with their first pick. I sense they'll patchwork edge rushing again. OT is a more immediate need but they'll be taking a look at all the CBs and if one they love is there I doubt EDC flinches.
  19. He more or less is, though spring training success can just mean "mashed AAA level pitching". There's just a lot of guys without options that they'd lose if they DFA'd any of them and they currently don't want to do that. Someone will get injured at some point and then they'll bring Holliday up. Right now, with what happened to the Mets, teams are being very cautious having the season-opening IL stints to avoid DFAing players, but after a few weeks there will be plausible deniability you could say.
  20. Jackson Holliday has been reassigned to the minor league camp and won't be on the Opening Day roster. Orioles are frankly in a pickle because they have too many guys without options right now. No doubt he'll be up later on in the season, as will Mayo and Kjerstad, but to start it's not a huge surprise. Especially since, as I repeatedly get reminded, you need infielders fluent in Spanish if you're going to have Spanish-speaking pitchers.
  21. What's a club to do? The betting companies will pay more. If the league wants to do away with them, should offer to subsidize non-betting sponsors to offset the difference. Then, of course, that cost gets passed down to the fans so not great either.
  22. It would be exactly how a prominent athlete with a gambling habit would want to do it, have someone else be the person "placing the bets" so that if it boils over they can be absolved. People aren't crazy for thinking that's what happened, unfortunately.
  23. There might be more to this since it sounds like Ohtani was going to pay off his gambling debts. Then the attorneys and maybe team/MLB got involved.
  24. I take back saying that the England kit looks like France. The pictures they released had a dumb filter that made them look dark blue but that's actually purple. Great work, marketing team.
