What are some good "measuring stick" opponents/pitchers?MyBrainHurts I mean, if you really want to see the trial by fire, they play the Dodgers in, like, a week or something like that.

What are some good "measuring stick" opponents/pitchers?It’s hard to say. Especially for the really bad teams, it doesn’t necessarily take that much to make them significantly better. A couple of years ago, the White Sox were on track to be the worst team of all time. The next year, they were a reasonably OK team, with the biggest differences in rosters being a couple of players coming back from injuries.
This year, the Rockies seem like they’re a much better team than last year. Last year, they were a clown show. This year, they at least seem to be a baseball team.
The Yankees are a real contender, and the Tampa Bay Rays are a perennial threat as well. Very different teams, both usually good measure. The Orioles are supposed to be much improved this year, and should be a solid team, too. The Athletics are pretty bad, and the Marlins are usually a reliable example of a go-nowhere team, too. Oh, and the Angels – they have a few really good players, but they consistently wildly underperform as a team.

I hate April Fools Daylime! Yes! This is the kind of thing I’d be OK with. Unfortunately, I’m seeing people on social media just post about highly anticipated rumours being announced by companies and whatnot, which serves no purpose other than to get people who haven’t looked at the calendar excited about something they’ve been quietly hoping for for a long time, and it just seems to mean and unkind.

My thought when listening to someone complain about X rule in X ttrpg is so often just… don’t follow that rule, then?Pteryx the Puzzle Secretary This is one of the reasons I don’t like discussing games with people who primarily engage in organized play. In very real terms, we’re using the game system very differently, but they usually feel like they’re playing the one-true-way, and refuse to acknowledge that game systems are toolkits. It’s remarkably frustrating and alienating.

#DnD advice: Your phone at the game table may be a handy rules reference, but be conscious of when it's pulling you out of the game. -
I hate April Fools DayI’ve come to really hate April Fool’s Day. I never used to care. As a kid, April Fools pranks were annoying things like locking doors, tying shoe laces together, and nonsense like that. Things that might be annoying, or even amounting to physical assault, but ultimately nothing that toyed with my feelings.
In the age of the Internet, though, all April Fools Day pranks are are people just very lazily trying to get me excited for things, and that feels so, so, so much more malicious than anything the schoolyard bullies ever did.People and vectors I rely upon for information just become really sloppily unreliable for a full day out of the year, while they smugly pat themselves on their own backs for engaging in some social ritual I (apparently mistakenly) thought we’d all outgrown by the time we were 10.
