They shut off the counter to improve performance (at least on PS4, not sure about other platforms). I haven’t had any matchmaking problems, even with 0 people showing, except for when servers are down.

Definitely fun. But shallow, in terms of off-the-court stuff. So, as long as you don’t mind playing just for the heck of it, without any real carrots or incentives (other than cosmetic stuff, and a number beside your name that doesn’t mean anything), it’s good.

That was due to seedings, though. If you’ve hit more home runs than the other guy so far this year, then you got to hit 2nd. Still a marked advantage, but one that’s earned. And it wasn’t every round. Pederson beat Pujols in the 2nd round, with Pederson going first.

IGN asked Layden why you couldn’t do it. The one and only reason was because of abuse/greifing, and that technical reasons were not standing in the way.

The problem is that you can’t pretend that each year of a 3-year, $45m contract is valuated the same when you’re 33.

Edit: nvm, misread the rankings.

Didn’t see what circumstances he was taken out in, but a lot of times a manager will take someone out mid-inning like that in order to let him get an ovation from the crowd (eg. Jeter in the all-star game last year).

Wrigley Field from the night before:

It’s not completely consistent, though. Different tournaments reset yellows at different points. Some reset after group stages. Some reset before the quarters. Some reset after the quarters.

She got suspended two Olympic games for that incident with Wambach, if anyone was wondering.

and his .921 save percentage (just .003 behind Corey Crawford) was the fourth-highest of any netminder who started at least eight playoff games.

That “leak” (assuming you mean that Reddit post) was pretty clearly BS from the start, though some people took it as fact. Kotaku busted it with certainty, when they denied what the poster said about being the source of information that Kotaku based some articles on.

If only you literally knew the definition of a perfect game.

Wait...Bridge, as in like, the card game Bridge? Can we get Uno, too.?

“The Dodgers aren’t invincible.”

Except this is South Korea, not North Korea. Two completely different countries.

American Pharoah ran the second half of the race much faster than Secretariat. While the race had a faster starting pace in ‘73, American Pharoah finished much stronger, despite the asounding margin of victory of Secretariat.

The whole “move to half court after a timeout” rule in the NBA always seemed weird to me. Where else in sports can you get a stoppage of play, and then advance for free halfway down the court? Imagine in football if you were able to call a timeout and walk the ball up to the 50-yard line. Not that it’s a bad rule, it…
