Player of the Game: LF Luis Matos: 2-4, 1 R, 2 2B (5)

  • SS Marco Luciano: 1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 2B (5), 1 K - Luciano kept his batting average above .303 with his hit in this game, but over his last six games, he’s just 5-for-23 (.217) with four walks to nine strikeouts.

  • RP Reggie Crawford: 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K - This was the first time in his pro career Crawford did not start a game, although this tied (for the fifth time in 15 games) his career long of 2.0 innings.
  • 2B Brett Auerbach: 2-4, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 2B (2), 1 3B (1), 1 CS (1), 1 E (1) - This was Auerbach’s first triple since the 2021 season. He’s hitting .222 after ten games.

Legion-like gym near Oceanside?

San Diego Sport News Reddit - Sat, 04/20/2024 - 19:01

Greetings friends.

I just moved to Oceanside and I'm checking out the gyms up here. I wasn't a fan of 10th planet Oceanside at all. I'm looking for something as close to legion in San Diego. Basically no traditional warm-ups and really technical classes. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I'm aware of North Coast and Excel otherwise

I wish I played sports in high school and was in a frat in college

San Diego Sport News Reddit - Sat, 04/20/2024 - 18:53

I am graduating senior at UCLA, and I had a very sad youth. I spent my elementary and middle school years in video games, and I wasn’t athletic. I was skinny, but not strong. I never got to play any high school sports because of my lack of athletic background. I know track and cross country exist, but I wished I played a proper team sport. I dreamed of even just being a kicker on a football team, playing basketball, or even lacrosse., but I went to a large high school in San Diego and I just wasn’t good enough. I was lonely in high school and felt sports could have helped make me friend on top of being fun in their own right

I went to UCLA in college, and I made no friends and got rejected from every frat. That was a massive sting for me. I felt so unwanted. I have poor social skills, so that is a problem. I also had no hobbies and felt embarrassed when I admitted I never played any high school sports. I am now graduating this spring with no friends and no strong memories or social experience. It sucked.

And the root of all of this is not play sports when I was young or practicing socializing

looking for Subscision derm experts in Southern california

San Diego Sport News Reddit - Sat, 04/20/2024 - 18:45

Hi guys I’ve gone through this whole sub and looked at everything I will need and the most recommended doctors in socal. I will be traveling so I prefer not to go all the way to san diego from central california but i’m open to any doctor. So far the most recommended without negative feedback is Dr. Behnam. Is there anybody else who is an expert at subscision? It’s hard to tell online. A website that keeps coming up is Celibre medical, they all seem like they have great results but I don’t see anything online about it? Anyone have info on that? Please tell me about doctors you have visited or gotten treatments with and your experience with them!

I also might be getting CROSS but I’m terrified of picking the wrong Derm. Also Dr Rullan is out of the question too many horror stories.

SLTrib Monson: talks about the individual right to wear or not wear garments.

San Diego Sport News Reddit - Sat, 04/20/2024 - 18:32

Gordon Monson: The wearing — or not wearing — of LDS garments is personal and should stay that way

This crackdown on underwear seems like overkill.

By Gordon Monson

April 20, 2024, 7:23 a.m.

So, the story goes that Steve Young, back in his days of playing for the San Francisco 49ers, was once spotted in the locker room putting on his underwear — yeah, garments instructed to be worn by temple-going, tithe-paying members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A teammate told the former BYU quarterback something to the effect of, “Man, where did you get that underwear? That’s really cool. Where can I get a few pairs?”

Young thoughtfully considered the question for a few moments, as was and is his way, and then replied, “Forget about it. You can’t afford ‘em.”

Ten percent can be expensive.

I have no clue whether that story is true, but it’s one of the best I’ve heard about temple garments. That one, and the one my faithful mom, a straight-talking farm girl from North Carolina, once told me about the first time she put on garments, in June 1946. That was back in the unfriendly day of one-piecers, and she said she quite literally wrestled with the underclothing, like something you’d see in a cartoon, as she attempted to put it on. After she did, she looked at herself in a mirror and felt the awkward construction of the garment, and then said: “I don’t know what these things are all about, but what I do know is that they were neither designed by a woman, nor designed with the best interests of a woman in mind.”

Those sentiments through the years, right up to 2024, have likely been expressed by millions of Latter-day Saint women, wherever they land on the sliding righteous-obedient-prayerful-rebellious scale. My mom was about as kind and charitable and God-loving a woman as I ever met, and she hated — but still donned — the durn things.

Fervent men tried to explain to her how important the garment was in her covenant-keeping progression, but most of those men never had to wear the garment against their skin under the restrictive confinement of a bra.

OK, I’ve intentionally waited before commenting on the debate raging among leaders and members of my church about the underwear they wear, when they wear it, when they don’t wear it, when they should wear it, when they don’t have to wear it.

Like Young, I wanted to give the question some thought. And I’ve given it a lot of thought. I haven’t thought about underwear this much since the time I, on the recommendation of a buddy of mine, watched a pre-Christmas Victoria Secret Fashion Show some 20 years ago. My wife watched it with me, but I seemed to be devoting more intense focus to it.

Where was I?

Oh, yeah, I’ve worn temple garments for nearly 50 years and never had much problem with them. I agree with Young’s teammate, they’re all good — for me. There are those moments when I’ve wondered: Should I wear them or not? For instance, when I play golf. I never wear them when I’ve played other action sports because that would just be stupid — for me. And usually, I’ve left them at home when leaving for the golf course. Why? Because it’s typically hot and they restrict movement necessary to swing a club the way I do — like a lowland gorilla. Moreover, golf courses are beautiful but godless places where prayers are never answered.

LDS leaders speak out

And I always figured the decision about my underwear to be mine to make and mine alone.

That was until a recent emphasis by church leaders about the wearing of the garment. No matter what they’ve said, and I’ll go over that in a minute, if my bishop asks me about my wearing of my underwear, I’ll probably just laugh. And he’s a good friend of mine. If he asks my wife about her wearing of her underwear, I’m pretty sure she’ll just tell him what he wants to hear or — who knows? — tell him to mind his own business, one or the other.

General authority Seventy Kevin Hamilton recently told a congregation of Latter-day Saints that too many younger women wear garments mostly on Sundays and when they attend the temple, but then opt for “yoga pants” during the week.

Two high-ranking speakers at the church’s most recent General Conference — Dallin Oaks and J. Anette Dennis — hit the topic. “We are instructed to wear temple garments continuously, with the only exceptions being those obviously necessary. Because covenants do not ‘take a day off,’ to remove one’s garments can be understood as a disclaimer of the covenant responsibilities and blessings to which they relate,” Oaks said. Dennis said: “We are authorized to wear the garment of the holy priesthood. It is both a sacred obligation and a sacred privilege.”

She said if the garment is worn, it is a reminder that as you keep temple covenants, you symbolically put on Christ, who is an “armor of light. He will protect me from evil, give me power and increased capacity and be my light and guide through the darkness and difficulties of the world.”

The problem with that statement is it’s way exclusive, and it implies that the said light and protection and power and capacity are not available to good, faithful people who do not wear the garment or who don’t wear it at every turn. It suggests that, “Hey, I’m super special.”

Moreover, a statement from the church included this terminology: “You should wear the garment day and night throughout your life. When it must be removed for activities that cannot reasonably be done while wearing the garment, seek to restore it as soon as possible. As you keep your covenants, including the sacred privilege to wear the garment as instructed … you will have greater access to the Savior’s mercy, protection, strength and power.”

Law of Moses approach

I’ve understood that some believe that wearing the garment gives the wearer protection and power, but not what is said here, that the garment gives the wearer greater access to Jesus Christ’s mercy.

I’ve always thought Jesus’ mercy was wholly available to all, by the bucketful, regardless of the kind of underwear they wear. The assertion that taking off the garment — to do yardwork, to briskly walk around the block, to hike through the woods, to sweat — is essentially kicking away your commitment to God is troubling, disturbing.

With all the problems in the world, with all the opportunities to show devotion to God and to serve fellow humans and be kind and charitable to friends and strangers, to help those in need, insisting that the faithful wear garments whenever possible, whatever that really means, seems a lean toward control in a Law of Moses kind of way. Beyond that, it’s another chance for church members to observe what those around them, fellow worshippers, are doing and wearing or not doing and not wearing and to judge them. There’s already too much judging in a high-demand religion.

I don’t mind wearing garments, not at all. I like them fine; they’re meaningful, and mostly convenient and comfortable — again, for me, when I’m not doing some of the things I do, like hauling my clubs around the course. But for all others, especially women, they can decide for themselves.

They can work it out with the God they worship, with the God they aim to please, the God to whom they wish to connect and make and shape covenants with.

Revisions to temple-recommend questions or not, and no matter what anyone preaches from a pulpit, the wearing of garments and underwear of any kind is a personal decision that obviously and appropriately and “reasonably” enough should be left to the person wearing them, regardless of how expensive they are.

Tableau Conference 2024

San Diego Sport News Reddit - Sat, 04/20/2024 - 18:20

Hi everyone!

I'm relatively new here, but I was hoping to get some advice from this community. I'll be attending the Tableau Conference in San Diego soon, and it's not only my first time at this particular conference but my first conference ever.

I'm not sure what to expect. Would it be wise to bring my laptop, or is that unnecessary? Besides the main sessions, are there other activities or events I should make sure to attend?

Also, since I'm going solo, I'm eager to meet new people and deepen my knowledge of Tableau. How approachable are people typically at these events? I'm attending as a practitioner with the aim to make connections and enhance my understanding of the tool. Any tips on ways to meet folks at the conference? Are there specific times or places that are good for meeting people?

Are there any must-see sessions or speakers that you would recommend for someone who's been using Tableau for a few years now? Also I've been seeing a lot of stuff about swag. Are there any items that I should definitely look out for or pick up while I'm there? Oh and are there resources or communities I should join to stay connected and continue learning after the conference ends?

Any advice, recommendations, or personal experiences would be incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your help!
