- Not being able to accurately throw 60ft isn't a big deal for a pitcher, right? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 09:29 19
  - It's bizarre. I turned last night's game on and they were talking about it, then he turned and tried and it was.........something. - volnelk Apr 14, 09:32 18
    - He hadn't thrown over to first in like 65 starts. - Will Hunting Apr 14, 09:34 17
      - Wait, that's why he never throws over to first? I had no idea. -- nm - David Apr 14, 09:36 16
        
        It's been rumored it's mental, after seeing him last night, I'm seeing the point. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 09:48
        
        Yeah, I thought it was a statistics driven thing and he just doesn't think it benefits you, but he CAN"T do it. Not even close. - volnelk Apr 14, 09:37 14
        
        That's amazing. Can someone link me to video or gifs of this? - David Apr 14, 09:39 13
        
        Root cause is thought to be in this link at Grantland. -- (link) - Will Hunting Apr 14, 09:50
        
        Embed in here. -- (link) - Tim Apr 14, 09:41 11
        
        It was a trick play so Soler could throw the guy out at third. -- nm - pmb Apr 14, 09:46
        
        It goes over the dirt on the fly. -- nm - volnelk Apr 14, 09:44

        This. It was bad in words, but in pictures... -- nm - spamlet Apr 14, 10:09
        
        Soler might as well play about 10 feet behind Rizzo. -- nm - Tim Apr 14, 09:46
        
        Was there some sort of error or something that caused all this? -- nm - David Apr 14, 09:44 2
        
        All's well that ends well. -- nm - Lester Apr 14, 09:46

- Can you see it? -- nm - CQ Apr 14, 09:30
- ... huh. -- nm - Ultron Apr 14, 09:28 2
  - Don't be embarrassed if you can't see it. It's tough to spot. Concentrate on the crib. -- nm - Inigo Apr 14, 09:35 1

I am awaiting the 1.1.2 patch notes for Destiny. Bigger vault is in there, but I want to know it all. -- nm - Shaun Apr 14, 09:18 12
- How about in game transferability between characters? Or at least allow the vault to dispense to all. -- nm - Ultron Apr 14, 09:19 11
  - Get the Vault Helper android app. One touch transfers. -- nm - Shaun Apr 14, 09:20 10
    - I dislike the lay-out of that. A lot. -- nm - Ultron Apr 14, 09:22 9
      - Use this. It's perfect. -- (link) - David Apr 14, 09:30 3 1

        This and managing Kim's Vudu account are the only times I use it. -- nm - David Apr 14, 09:31 1
        
        I have no problem with that. I will use it for Bungee, as well. - Ultron Apr 14, 09:33
      - once you figure out the Vaunt Helper app, it is awesome. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 09:28 2
        
        It is a jumbled mess. No thanks. David's link is perfect. -- nm - Ultron Apr 14, 09:31
        
        Yup. Just pick the character and tap the item. Done. -- nm - Shaun Apr 14, 09:31

      - SFEK. I use the computer, and it works, but would really like to see something in game. -- nm - Ultron Apr 14, 09:22
"Cosmopolitan Releases 40-Year Compendium: 812,683 Ways To Please Your Man" -- nm - con_carne Apr 14, 09:13 4

  - 1. Show up. 2. Show up for booze. 3. Show up with food. List over. -- nm - Shaun Apr 14, 09:19 1

IGN has played the new Guitar Hero. -- (link) - Shaun Apr 14, 08:58 6
- Cool. I wonder if I'll be able to get a Guitar Hero Guitar to use in the new Rock Band for XBOne. - volnelk Apr 14, 09:30
- I Will be waiting for Rock Band 4, no need to invest in GH. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 09:13
- Sounds fun, but it also sounds like they've gone back to only guitar. No drums or bass. I liked playing the drums. -- nm - pmb Apr 14, 09:07 3
  - um, it is called GUITAR HERO, pmb...... - groiny Apr 14, 09:17 1
    - Heh. Indeed. The full band experience is from the competitor: Rock Band 4 -- (link) - JD Apr 14, 09:47

- Technically, that happens every year at this time. -- nm - Ultron Apr 14, 08:56 1
  - Yeah, but those were always temporary. Now, they don't loom over us like a mush-mouthed rage monster. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 09:00

ika: will/spam - 4 marble, 3 wine, 2 crystal, 2 sulfur. I want to keep both sulfur to keep forge cool down shorter. -- nm - Diva Apr 14, 08:34 9
- I'm at 4 marble, 2 wine, 2 sulfur, and 1 crystal. I have an open building spot and I'll probably have to go wine next. -- nm - spamlet Apr 14, 09:09
- I might go more Crystal... - Mel Profit Apr 14, 08:57
- In that mix, I'd probably lean toward wine -- you can build larger towns to maximize the production - Will Hunting Apr 14, 08:42 2
  - i don't really have wine scarcity issues. And my towns are pretty big. -- nm - Diva Apr 14, 08:45 1
    - Marble then. The needs are so huge. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 08:52
- that is a good mix. 2 crystals are almosty a must now with the boat shorting building (*pets his 2 lvl 40's*) -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 08:39 3
  - so...a 12th marble or crystal town? keeping research upgrades in mind as well. -- nm - Diva Apr 14, 08:43 2
    - me no add good. I would have said wine (but saw your post above), another Forge would be 2nd choice, then crystal -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 08:46 1

- And yet, board 2... -- nm - David Apr 14, 08:21 8
  - it's fine. read the story first before you bitch about it. These guys have earned the benefit of that. If it sucks I'll be in the line saying it will -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 08:22 6

      - ah....like Fantasy Football players..... -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 08:42 1
        
        *has no touchdowns* -- nm - C.Q. Apr 14, 08:43
    - If I could read it today, I would. Otherwise, I will bitch!!!! -- nm - Ultron Apr 14, 08:23
  - I will acknowledge Remlik as The Joke Master if this really is one. -- nm - Ultron Apr 14, 08:21
- Yeah. Still trying to figure out why they are trying to ef it up. - Ultron Apr 14, 08:19 6
  - are they effing it up? 40 issues of greatness. this is the final storyline for them apparently -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 08:22 5
    - Wait, what? - Ultron Apr 14, 08:22 4
      - Snyder never did Spawn. They've said it's their final run...but they haven't made a *huge* thing about it... - Remlik Apr 14, 08:41 3
        
        Ack. I always think I met the two of them together back in 1995. - Ultron Apr 14, 09:13 2
        
        could have been McFarlane? who was writing Spawn at the time? -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 09:15 1
        
        No, it was when Todd was writing. It must have been the inker. Should look it up but not 100% sure of the year, even. - Ultron Apr 14, 09:24
YDC: Good and bad news. Taxes done and I get a return this year. My gf owes again and is about to get her wages garnished. Ugh! -- nm - Krusty Apr 14, 08:08 2

  - Sounds like they were already done and she tripped on the way out. -- nm - ???? Apr 14, 08:16 2
