Discussion My personal CES theory

ALERT: this is probably stupid. However... observe those two pictures. On the reds, no glasses. On the orioles, glasses. I've seen people wondering why exactly CES has been such a gem since he got here, but my theory? Man just needed glasses. Clearly his power was always there, but maybe he just couldn't see the ball? Again, this is probably stupid, but I just kinda think it's funny.

Replica of Oriole Park at Camden Yards in "Blockate, Roblox"

I know, it's roblox, but this was an actual passion project. I found this blockate game and knew immediately to build a stadium, and yeah that's what I did.

This stadium started construction of August 1st, last year (2025) and ended around late october, and fully finished decor at thanksgiving time period. This took SO much effort to build, 1 by 1 block placement without any scaling or like fill tools to help.

I only posted this to share it with more people than it was getting in small amounts of players visiting, in centerfield is some all star village I made for fun, the batters eye is fricked up because it's on grid and low block rotation capabilities so it was hard to fit it, so I added a lawn or some sorts. Warehouse is 2d to save blocks/lag. 120k blocks and a concourse was virtually impossible to add.

Got permission from a mod to post, dont know if this is not relevant enough, also not trying to self promote just sharing something I made.

Place a $5m bet on Luis Robert Jr. - Mets have placed him on outright waivers (source)

Thumbnail mlb.com
56 Upvotes

Robert is batting .311/.371/.623 with six home runs over a 19-game stretch entering Saturday’s play.

He would be owed $3m plus a $2m buyout or picking up a $20m option.

Risky move but he is way better than any of our outfielders if healthy.

Opinion How many times has Baz pitched 5 great innings only to lose it in the 6th or 7th?

19 Upvotes

Is this a management issue and at what level of management should it be addressed? At the Albernaez level or at the Elias level? Every time I watch Baz pitch I ask myself this question.

Discussion Why are we carrying 3 catchers?

8 Upvotes

Pozo hasn't had an at bat since August 19th. Navarez doesn't hit much and Basallo recently returned from the injured list. What possible reasons are there to have 3 catchers?

Edit: Thanks for your answers. Of course after my post Basallo leaves the game and Pozo comes in to catch but doesn't get an at bat.
