I like the DH and I like seeing the pitcher have to hit. They shouldn't change a thing.

I actually agree that I like there are different rules in general for the different leagues. That doesn't inherently bother me. Specifically I do not like the core of the DH. It's gimmicky.

ExThaNemesis posted...

I call out the Minor League teams because they play an antiquated garbage form of baseball that is unsuccessful. Pitchers hitting is I think at the root of what causes the league to be much weaker than the AL year to year and I have no reason to think otherwise. The Dodgers are going to get just as swept by Boston as Milwaukee would.

The playoff teams are high payroll teams OR teams that made huge Trade splashes and took on a ton of money that way. Payroll matters. a lot.

I'm seething over this no matter who it happens to because its a garbage call anyway. It makes me mad as a baseball fan that this call unfolded this way.

In general though, I'm saying when your team has had some level of success recently I find it harder to get mad about other teams, even your rivals, gaining an advantage like that - unless of course you mean it from a purely baseball perspective, not a "because I hate this team" perspective. Let's face it. You wouldn't be as mad if this happened in Dodgers/Brewers. You're mad because it's the Red Sox and you don't want them to have success. I'm saying your team has had recent success , so while you'd all still be mad like geez , just enjoy the successes you DO actually have, don't take that for granted. I guess that's easy to do when y'all are in the playoffs every year

if you've experienced your team winning a championship in your sentient lifetime, or at least within the last 15-20 years, I really think you have no right to be so angry about other teams winning. Upset your rival won sure but come on man. This is painful to watch. As a NY Giants fan, I can safely say every year we suck I'm like yeah meh whatever. I can't be too upset when I have nice recent memories. Even with the Eagles last year, sure I didn't want them to win but I feel no real ill will about football. I'm content.

I forever live in baseball despair. And probably will forever. It's an awful feeling. Also payroll numbers are smudged usually. I didn't look at the link, the Mets are probably highish up it but that's because its counting the insurance money the Wilpons are not re-investing.

TBH, I can't see any "reasonable" way you can pick for a character in one match and then losing to that same character later. Like, I get the romanticism behind it, but I think at the end of the day, unless its truly a 50-50 match , you would need a significant number of people to change their minds or some crazy rally that didn't exist the first time around, as the match was happening, and I can't really see that. The only one would be a Link runback I would consider with a rally as you guys alluded to. Otherwise, any rally pushback would happen during the first match in question. Doing the same thing and expecting different results...

Or if course if you want to hedge your bets...

Also, you can't treat Rivalry Rumble as an A + B = C type thing for anything. If it doesn't work for Red/Blue, it doesn't work for anything. RR is a useless metric for 1-on-1 because the voters are smart enough not to treat it like a 1-on-1, even with a pathetically weak anchor like K. Rool. DK wouldn't 60/40 Ezio like the round 1 match says either.

Well my point is just having a consistent base to compare it to. We have that in Subby/Scorp. And we have a weak anchor on both sides of DK and Leon. If anything the Anchor of Ada I think might pull more voters in to Leon than K Rool to DK, since we're talking 'real' characters with 'real' personalities. Maybe Leon/Ada isn't strong enough of a "rivalry" I guess? I'm not trying to use the RR to boost characters like Red because Red was clearly boosted by the presence of Blue. Same for Subby with Scorp but that doesn't matter for my point here. I can't see that being the case for either for Leon and DK.

I just got to that part of the podcast!

Was that really a rally? that match had only 39K votes. Granted the other ones near it in timing were high 20s/low 30s, so if thats a rally it was pretty small. Where did it come from anyway?

And then next match had:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5259-character-battle-ix-division-7-final-samus-vs-l-block-vs
Which is still a really solid performance. Was it still rallied here? This one being at 52K was basically the average vote total for that round, Draven et all not withstanding

As for Rivaly Rumble... well i've been told that multiple times and why not! Sure the voter psyche is different for something like that, like caring about the rivalry itself- but I'm going to go ahead and say while it undoubted helped Sub-Zero/Scorp for having 2 strong characters together, and a a boost to care about that rivalry, that Ada and K Rool wouldn't do anything to help Leon and DK, and those "rivalries" I wouldn't think are worth bonus consideration for the rivalry itself... as long as Sub-Zero/Scorp are consistent match to match there, which I don't see why not... Give DK the ol' Nintendo boost even if that's only minor here and that does it for me.

Some characters like Red with Blue would be made wayyy stronger by the quality of the rivalry itself - where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. I really can't see that being true with K Rool added to DK, which you would have to assume if you think Leon beats DK given those results.

L-Block > Kefka
Block beat AURON. You guys were talking about how these joke characters were one and done, but L-block stuck around and settled into a pretty strong character on its own merits. No rallies, just good strength. L-Block goes through to the finals where it falls to Sora.

Another top baseball exec turns down the Mets GM role.

https://nypost.com/2018/10/14/another-established-baseball-executive-turns-mets-down/

"Among the issues, according to sources, is the perception that team COO Jeff Wilpon will run the baseball operations department, with the new hire as the real No. 2 in the organization. Wilpon is already on record as saying he would like the new GM or president of baseball operations to retain assistant GM John Ricco and special assistants Omar Minaya and J.P. Ricciardi."

This is so fucking insane. The COO, who has literally fucking zero baseball acumen, wants to run the team in front of his GM. HOW CAN MLB CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS SHIT???? Why does this have to happen to the team I like. To the team with one of the most dedicated fanbases in the sport. We don't fucking deserve this shit.
