its been 6 months and im still not over this. easily best and most hilarious play in baseball history

[fucktheflagandfuckyou]

for those who dont really understand:

-the first baseman had no reason to chase Baéz, if he just stepped on the bag he was automatically out

-theres two outs, so if hes out, the inning is over. even if the runner on second base gets home, the run doesnt count. its not until hes safe at first that the run scores

-theres no specific rule in baseball about running backwards from first, just that you “cannot retreat to home base” meaning so long as if you dont touch the plate, its fine

-Baéz ran backwards to kill enough to get the run to score, and then stole and extra base on the base on the bad throw

-HE TOOK THE TIME TO UMPIRE HIS OWN PLAY AND CALL SAFE

what a fucking sport yall

Javier Baéz’s nickname according to those announcers is El Mago which is spanish for The Wizard

Well earned

Let me see if I can break this down a little more.

Javier Báez (the batter, a Chicago Cub, wearing blue) has just hit the ball. His job is now to run around the bases - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, back to where he started (“home”), at which point he will have scored a point. In practice, he will probably stop partway, wait for the next batter to get a hit, and try to make it home from there.

The Pittsburgh Pirates (in white) are fielding. Their job is to stop the Cubs from scoring by getting them out, by various combinations of catching the ball and tagging people or bases with it.

The scoreboard (top left) shows that one Cub has already made it to second base, so he will resume running now that Javy has a hit. It also shows that two Cubs are out. If a third Cub gets out, their turn to bat will be over, it will be the Pirates’ turn to bat, and the Cubs can’t score anymore (for now, but that’s not relevant).

The Pirate at first base (the first baseman) has the ball. All he needs to do is step on first base while holding it before Javy gets there, and Javy is out. This is probably the number one most common thing a first baseman has to do.

He does not do it.

For some reason he starts chasing Javy, presumably trying to tag him with the ball directly. This is a perfectly legitimate way of getting him out, but also completely unnecessary.

This has never happened to Javy before. Unsure what else to do, he just kind of… jogs backwards away from him.

Meanwhile, the Cub who was at second base (Contreras) has made it all the way back to home. Because the Pirates’ first baseman has helpfully walked the ball back home, he can easily toss it to the Pirate at home (the catcher) who will tag Contreras out.

The catcher doesn’t tag him in time.

The umpire signals that Contreras is safe (not out).

Javy also signals that Contreras is safe, just for fun. He’s never been nearby when a teammate makes it home before, and he’s enjoying himself.

Notice that the score has not changed, even though Contreras made it home. That’s because Javy is still technically running to first base. If he gets out before he reaches it, the Cubs’ turn to bat is over, and nothing else that’s happened since he hit the ball matters.

Javy remembers this, and heads back to first base. The catcher throws the ball to another Pirates fielder, who is frantically running to do the first baseman’s job.

He doesn’t catch it.

Javy is safe at first. Contreras scores (although the scoreboard won’t change for a second).

Javy notices how far away that ball landed, and decides he can make it to second base before anyone picks it up and tags him out.

An offscreen Pirate throws the ball to second base, where another Pirate is ready and waiting to catch it, tag Javy out, and end the Cubs’ turn to bat.

He doesn’t catch it.

Javy is safe at second. The video doesn’t show it, but he will go on to score as well.

This should have been a very easy out for the Pirates, but through two dropped catches and one truly bizarre decision from the first baseman, they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and turned it into two points for the Cubs.

The Cubs won this game by two points.

HAPPY OPENING DAY OF BASEBALL 2022 YALL. LETS PRAY FOR MORE OF THIS BULLSHIT

Bucky cap is really funny bc Steve never had weapons so all the villains only had to watch out for the shield, but then comes Bucky and

One of my favorite parts from bucky!cap is when he tries to give guns to all of the avengers, and they’re all freaking out. AND HE CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE HAS A GUN.

i ended up liking how gendered french is solely because i can say that i want people to use he/him pronouns for me the same way they use it for angels, blood and blunts

[tamsylum]

i asked a trans friend to give me her fem version of this and she said that people should use she/her with her the same way they use it for the sea, flesh and stuffed toys

[samwisegamgeeee]

I don’t speak French but I speak Spanish and I’m nonbinary so the whole gendered language thing is… difficult. I couldn’t get this post out of my head and so I wrote a poem. It's a first draft but i just had to get it out there

It’s called “Masculino como el amor, femenino como la espada”

Si tienes que usar el masculino conmigo, usa el masculino cómo lo usas para el azúcar para el lobo el amor y el mar. Pero si tienes que usar el femenino, úsalo cómo lo usas para la tierra para la anaconda la guerra y la mar. Llámame masculino cómo el día cómo el melocotón el pecho y el cometa. O, llámame femenino cómo la noche cómo la piedra la leche y la mano. Masculino cómo el viento, femenino cómo la tormenta. El hueso, la sangre. El mito, la magia. El sol, la luna. Si tienes que usar el masculino conmigo, o si tienes que usar el femenino, llámame femenino con la boca y la lengua o llámame masculino con los dientes y los pulmones. O si puedes llámame por mi nombre. Llámame yo.

Translation: Masculine like love, feminine like the sword

If you have to use the masculine for me, use the masculine like you use it for sugar for the wolf love and the sea. But if you have to use the feminine, use it like you use it for earth for the anaconda war and the Sea. Call me masculine like the day like the peach the chest and the comet. Or, call me feminine like the night like the stone the milk and the hand. Masculine like the wind, feminine like the storm. The bone, the blood. The myth, the magic. The sun, the moon. If you have to use the masculine for me, or if you have to use the feminine, call me feminine with your mouth and your tongue or call me masculine with your teeth and your lungs. Or if you can call me by my name. Call me myself.

“How were LGBT people able to hijack the rainbow!?!”

Uhh, well Jake, we started using the rainbow to connote gayness and you immediately stopped using it because you were pants shittingly afraid of looking gay.

The same with a lot of women fashion, the very moment women starts to wear something too, it becomes “women fashion” and het cis men won´t touch it with a stick.

[quasi-normalcy]

There should be a word for the wholesale surrender of cultural objects to subaltern classes because you think you’re so much better than them that you don’t want to be mistaken for one. Like, the opposite of cultural appropriation. Cultural abandonment.

The thrust of this thread implies that this behavior is characteristic of patriarchal reactionaries, but it is quite easy to cite examples of their opponents doing exactly the same thing - Pepe, the “a-ok” gesture, etc. being instantly ceded to the far right.

[alarajrogers]

It’s subtractive oppositional culture. You see your culture as “in opposition” to another culture, so when that culture starts doing something, you have to stop. Runs the gamut of men being shut into smaller and smaller boxes as women’s rights open up because they don’t want to do anything women do, to hipsters feeling like they have to reject something they loved because now it’s popular.

I’ve been calling the version applying to men “subtractive masculinity”, but you’re right, the concept is all over the place.

Sometimes there are good reasons. I cannot fly a Gadsden flag. I feel very strongly that the government has no right to trample my right to live my life how I want to without harming others; I have the right to let my nonbinary kid be nonbinary and my trans binary kid be trans. I have the right to educate my children about racism and tell them slavery was fucking bad. I have the right to help my children with uteruses get abortions if they needed them. I have the right to not die because asshats don’t want to get vaccinated or wear masks. But the Gadsden flag doesn’t signify any of that right now, it signifies whiny babies who feel like not being able to impose their religious beliefs on others violates their rights.

On a far more extreme side, the Nazis stole the swastika and the people they stole it from have a very hard time taking it back because of how strongly it’s been associated with incredible evil… even though the Indian swastika doesn’t quite look exactly like the Nazi version, it’s close enough that the people for whom it has religious significance as a symbol of life had to give it up.

But yeah, religious whackaroos have ceded the rainbow to the gays because they’re terrified of looking like they support being gay. (Not all Christians have such fears. All during pride month a local church had a display of rainbow colored doors along the main road that I’d pass every week, advertising their church with the slogan “God’s doors are open to all.” But sadly that’s very rare.)
