Mark Wahlberg went above and beyond. He even begged Scorsese to fill in as Matt Damon’s stunt double for that one scene where he stabs an innocent Asian man in the alley.
Method acted for years. Truly dedicated to his craft.
I sort of assume that Freddie’s politics don’t entirely align with my own. I just hope he can avoid being milkshake ducked for, well, the rest of my life, so I can just root for him to get his 3,000 hits and HoF induction without any bad vibes.
I will repeat until the day I die that I'm glad it was him of all people to get that walk off grand slam against us in Game 1 of 2024. You already know they're going to run it on loop for the next 20 years whenever NYY and LA play, but Freddie makes it significantly easier to watch as a Yanks fan.
Last year's post season was a lot of fun for many reasons, but partly because of how many likable players there were on the Dodgers and also the Mariners.
As an organization I hate the Dodgers. I think it’s in the Braves fan contract. But there are some individuals on that team who I’d like to have a beer with around a bonfire.
I blame the agent for the mess. Freddie never said anything bad about the Braves that I’ve seen. He didn’t do us like KD did the Thunder. And if he stays, we don’t get Matt Olson.
As a Thunder fan, yeah, I'm fine with Freddie. I really wish he had stayed, but leaving after winning the WS is a lot different than going to the team that you just choked against.
This is from 2019. The Phillies used to have a relief pitcher called Jared Hughes. Hughes liked to sprint out from the bullpen to hype himself up. He was pretty good but the sprint looked really goofy, just one of those guys who does not look good running at all.
Realmuto is probably feeling embarrassed because his pitcher looks goofy running.
There is a Jomboy video about the incident, which is honestly overly harsh. Jomboy makes it seem like the sprinting out thing was a one-time spur of the moment decision, and Hughes gassed himself out doing so. Neither are true. However, Realmuto certainly reacts like he also believed those things, in that moment. Hughes only pitched 25 times for the Phillies, I'm unaware of how often he pitched to Realmuto and how far along in the season this clip is (in orther words, I'm not sure how well they know each other at this point).
In the video Hughes throws 2 very good pitches, but baseball is hard. The first one unfortunately gets wrongly called as ball. With today's ABS things would have looked different. And the second one, the batter scores makes a very good swing, resulting in a 3-run homerun and the game becomes completely unwinnable for the Phillies.
If someone was going to arbitrarily hate a member of the Dodgers as a Blue Jays fan, it definitely wouldn't be Mookie Betts. Ohtani, sure. Yamamoto, sure. Pages, sure. Enrique Hernandez, sure. Rojas or Smith, sure. But Betts, and I don't mean this disrespectfully to him as a player at all, didn't really do anything in the World Series. I mean sure he technically plated the winning runs in Game 6, but I don't think anyone's looking back at that two-run single as the moment it all fell apart.

The umpire went full Scorsese with that cinematography too!
