Catch of the Year? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

Granderson isnt eligible to be a free agent for at least a couple years. While his contract is up, he is under club control for a while yet

Re: Catch of the Year?

if someone can post the video of nick swishers catch against the tribe that has to be nominated as well because swisher isnt considered an elite fielder by any means.

That Beltran clip maybe the slowest loading video in the history of YouTube.

The most impressive thing about Granderson's catch... and I was watching it live... watch how much ground he covers... that's a LOOOOONG run.

I liked Sizemore's catch more.

That's odd; the clip loaded very quickly for me.

Same here,

BTW anyone watch last night's Sunday Night Game? Milton Bradley made a helluva catch. Of course it wasn't nearly as good as Granderson's catch but I think it was one of the better catches of the year IMO.

Considering the implications, Beltran's catch was MUCH more impressive.

I dont think either player was thinking of how close or how far along the game was when the catches were made. They just had one thing on their mind and that was making the catch. Being a Tigers fan, this is the greatest catch of the year for me.

Also did anyone see the shot that Marcus Thames had? I believe he is the first Tiger since the forgettable Eric Munson to hit it that far dead center in Comerica.

Ah, good ol' Eric Munson. Where's he sitting the bench at now?

I agree with your comment about players not thinking about the situation and instead just trying to catch the ball.. it's when you do think about the implications that you start to **** up.

Right, but I never said the players were "thinking" about it. Given the situation, Beltran had more pressure on him when he was making the catch.

The same can be said for ANY sport, not just this situation in a baseball game.
