Whatever they think didn't get dropped definitely got dropped from NBC Sports Boston.

Anyone listening to the stream want to fill the rest of us in on what Jimmy Stewart just said?

EDIT: Thank you to u/Signal-Housing600. Jimmy said "dickhead".

Felger looking especially homeless today

Does someone need to remind Mike that he's on TV? Maybe Gillette can spot him a razor and he should probably close up another button or two on that shirt.

Umpire struck in the throat.

Home Plate umpire Will Little has to leave the Sox / Mariners game after taking this foul ball off of his throat. U2 takes over at home after a short delay and they will finish the game in a 3-man mechanic.

Newer guys: Let this be a PSA for you. Always make sure to wear your throat protector. Without one, a ding like this could literally kill you.

Sorry for the potato quality. Can't screenshot Fubo.

Did something change with reels ads? Over the last several weeks I feel like reels are unwatchable with unskippable ads every 30 seconds.

There used to be ads at the end of a reel, but it feels like something changed and now literally every single reel I try to watch is interrupted literally every 30 seconds by an unskippable ad. In a 1 to 2 minute reel I have 4 to 5 ad breaks on average. It makes reels basically unwatchable.

Is it just me? Is it a setting or something?

FWIW I am using the Android app on my Galaxy phone

Has the backlash from THAT little league pitch changed the way they're calling strikes in the LLWS?

I mean, this is a strike, right? I wonder if all the negative backlash from that one outside pitch that ended a game a few days ago has caused some of these guys to ease off of the outside corner a little bit.

This is still 12u. Where else is he supposed to put this pitch?

What is the strategy here?

In the Red Sox / Marlins game, the Marlins had the bases loaded with 1 out in a tie game. The Red Sox infield was playing in like they would be going home on an infield play.

Wouldn't they be better off playing back and trying to get a double play to end the inning?

The batter ended up hitting a ground ball single past the second baseman that the fielder probably would have been able to play on if he wasnt playing so far in.

Gar Shatterkeel is a human?

I was trying to find out what species Gar Shatterkeel is, and everything I'm seeing makes it sound like he is a human? According to his official stat block, it says human, but he's resistant to cold, has blue skin, can breathe underwater, is covered in barnacles, and has a crab arm? How is he human?

EDIT: I'm an idiot, I didn't even consider the Trident, Drown. Thanks everyone.

Big Red Machine? (possible S4 spoiler)

Twice during episode 3 so far Reacher has mentioned something called The Big Red Machine. The first time is when they showed up at the reporters Loft and the second time is when they showed up at the bowling alley.

Maybe I missed it but did they explain what that means? My first instinct was to think that it was something related to Russia but I don't remember them mentioning any Russians.

I feel stupid but can someone explain it?

Why Philadelphia?

I saw another post yesterday or the day before asking about the reason why certain names were changed when it doesn't really seem to matter, but I'm more curious why they decided to move the story from New York to Philadelphia. It doesn't really seem to have much of an effect on the storyline so I'm just curious, was it just a matter of stock footage of the sky lines was cheaper to get in Philly than it was in New York or something like that? It made sense to me that when people were coming in to the country from Europe more than likely they would be coming into New York so it was a natural place for the story to occur.

Is Fanatics really just sending out iron-ons?

I finally got my Team USA Jersey today that I ordered back in February and I was pretty disappointed to see that the numbers and letters are all just like iron on heat transfer vinyl considering that the item listing says that it uses stitched on applique. There's definitely no stitching here.

Pretty disappointing for something that cost $230. Do I have any recourse?

EDIT after auto-warning: I'm not suggesting this is counterfeit I'm suggesting that it is a piece of crap.

Does turning traffic on a green light have the right of way?

This is a big dispute at my workplace. At this intersection, when the traffic from the north has the green light, everyone else is red.

As you can see by the arrows, the traffic from the north in their left lane can go straight or turn left (blue arrow).

Right-turning traffic from the south (purple arrow) splits off and has a yield sign.

Slightly off the screen to the right is another major 4-lane intersection where the majority of the traffic turns right in the furthest right 2 lanes, so what happens often times is that the blue arrow traffic makes the turn and ends up in the far right lane as drawn because they are preparing to turn right at the next light (approx 1/4 mile).

So the question is, does the purple arrow traffic have to yield to the blue arrow traffic because of their yield sign and the blue arrow traffic having the green light, or does the purple arrow traffic have the right of way because the blue arrow traffic is supposed to exit the intersection in the left lane?

If it matters, this is in New Hampshire.

Questions about 'Odd Hours'

I just re-read 'Odd Hours' for the 2nd time, and two things confused me.

  1. When Odd first meets the dog and then brings him to the church, the priest asks him the dog's name and he says "Raphael" and then adds something to the effect of "I didn't understand why I chose that name until later" but then never elaborates. What is the significance of that name?

  2. Towards the end, after dispersing the mystical coyote horde, as Odd is trying to put the triggers in the Salvation Army bin and he comments on their increased mass, he says something like "I realized the increased weight was the same as the coyotes, and the strange lights and sounds under the manhole cover, and the mysterious swinging porch swing" and he just like, decided not to believe it anymore and then they weren't heavy anymore. Was the implication that there was some metaphysical outside force or forces trying to stop him from stopping the plot? What was the deal with the porch swing, and the manhole cover, and for that matter, the coyotes?

Also, now that I've finished reading 'Hours', I intend to finish the series, as I've never read "Apocalypse', 'Deeply', or 'Saint', but do they ever explain why Annamarie is so special (and wierd) and knows about Stormy? Is she, like, Stormy's spirit reincarnated or something? (if they do explain it later, I don't want to know, lol)

Browser Error Loading Maps VTT?

I got a new laptop and now when I try to open Maps I get an error message that says "We've detected that hardware acceleration is turned off for your browser" and there's a link that shows a quick tutorial on how to turn it on.

Only problem is that it is already on. I've tried re-installing Chrome, tried Edge, Firefox, and Duck Duck Go, and gotten the same message every time.

Since it's every browser, I wonder if it's something in my graphics card? Any ideas?

How do I gently guide my players away from things they're not ready for yet?

I've been using this chart https://imgur.com/tvyLuDP as a guide for what level the party should be before tackling certain things, and it's been working great.

Early in the game, as the party was first encountering the cults and their keeps, I wanted a way to make sure they didn't go too far too soon and enter the temples before they were strong enough, so I made it so each temple's entrance required a "key" to open, and they just didn't find the keys until it was time to find them.

Now they're further along in the story, and they're starting to clear the first temple, but I'm worried they're going to clear the temple and then go right into the node and then maybe even into the Eye before they're ready.

How can I persuade them not to, without railroading them? I prefer narrative devices like the keys as opposed to just saying "you can't go there yet" and what I really like is when they think it was their idea in the first place.

So I'm looking for a narrative reason or reasons why the group might, as an example, defeat the Air Temple but then leave and go to the Water Temple instead of entering the Node.

What is required to complete a walk-off base hit? (OBR)

Had a Legion game last night, I was BU. Bottom of the 7th, tie game, bases loaded, 1 out. Defensive coach brought his outfield way in, figuring a deep fly ball is going to score the run from 3rd anyway, so he's trying to take away a short hit.

Anyway, the batter nukes one 100 feet over the left fielder's head. R3 scores easily. Team starts celebrating, but some of the offensive kids are screaming at R2 to go touch 3rd base. He did, and there was no issue, but his 3rd base coach was looking at me and asking, "Why does he have to touch? The game is over?" and I just replied, "I didn't tell him he had to touch", which was true.

It got me thinking: what are the requirements to completing a game-ending base hit? Obviously, R3 needs to touch home plate, but you could make a compelling argument that the play is over as soon as that happens, and nothing else matters. However, I always thought that the BR has to touch first base to complete his AB, but I'm not 100% confident if that's actually true. What about the other runners? Does R1 have to touch 2nd, and does R2 have to touch 3rd? If they don't, can that be legally appealed by the defensive team?
