MLB Off-Topic

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I thought the "disabled" part of the term meant that they aren't active players, much like I can disable my WiFi or an alarm... not that they are physical unable to perform.

If I was wrong in the first place or if the double-meaning is in play, then so be it.

Nah you're right. That's how normal people view things.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I always thought disabled list was a stupid name that was just another thing the traditionalists would get red faced and cross eyed if someone tried to change it.

Sounds like that assumption was correct. No one hates baseball more than them.

Trying to understand how this makes any sense. I get it that "traditionalists" are easy targets and can be pretty cantakerous and unreasonable about these things. But, wouldn't wanting to keep the game the same actually mean you really liked it the way it is? How would being a traditionalist and wanting no changes equate to hating it?

I got to 25 out of 30. I don't know if you can skip around, but if I could I would have probably gotten all 30 that way. I stupidly spent a minute on one of them because I thought I had already guessed the team, and didn't bother typing it.

Got 30!

Luckily you can skip and go back. Some I had to do a double take of what exactly they were showing...LOL

I got 25. Process of elimination probably would've worked at the end, but in a short span you forget teams.

Some were weird. I thought Angels was Twins because of the 2 similar looking babies.

I didn't get stumped after until the Brewers because I didn't see the barrel. Astros I messed up on abit cause I was thinking Jets. Twins actual pic made less sense than the Angels pic would've made for them.

The 5 I didn't get were Dodgers, Braves, Padres, Phillies, Mets.

I still don't know what Dodgers, Padres or Phillies one was. Braves pic was weird. I guess they're making it easier for younger people because I would've put Braveheart for Braves or something. Mets made sense after seeing their name, but I wouldn't have guessed it regardless.

Padres are priests, so that one I at least got (thank Clint Eastwood).

I only missed Dodgers as my brain died after getting the other 29 and I didn't get as far as the NLW when going through all the teams in my head! I got the Phillies and Mariners by typing them in each of the answers I didn't have, no idea why that's Phillies either, the Mariners picture as too small for me to figure out what it was.

I have to assume that the Dodgers one was an old timey picture of the artful dodger from oliver, but even knowing that I still wouldn't be able to guess it really.

Given what they put as Braves pic, I think more would've known Dodgers if they did Duck Dodger

Re: MLB Off-Topic

And the Twins one wasn't confusing. It was from the movie Twins.

The only ones I had problems with were Mariners, Dodgers, and Phillies.

The Mariners just because I had no idea what the picture was.

If they'd done a picture of the artful dodger from the movie oliver, in his blue coat and top hat, then I'd have got it. That random mess they put was a mystery to me

You'll find this dumb, but I got stuck on the Braves one.

Spoiler

I was like: "Well, it's from the movie Brave... but I already chose Braves with the Indian-looking people [not!!!]... but she was Scottish, so Scots? Nope, that's my high school mascot. Vikings? That's football, not baseball. There are two of them. Twins? Nope, already chose that one and she isn't a twin anyway. Reds? She is a ginge after all. Nope? Hmm... what is a Philly anyway? Nope, that didn't work. Let me go through my teams by division..." [starts from AL West all the way to NL East. "Well, it literally couldn't be anything else but the Braves darn it I didn't choose that yet did I!!!"

Again, sucked me out of time. I hit a wall at the Phillies one for the last thirty seconds, but as I saw the other pictures (and didn't want to devote time to figure out if you could skip or not) I realized I would have gotten those in a heartbeat and played process of elimination.

And I chose the Mariners one several times before finally landing on the one that represented Mariners haha.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I was doing pretty well til I got hung up on the Dodgers. If they had found a way to put a trolley in there i'd have gotten it.

I got 67% time ran out. I didn't know you could skip ahead.
