  1. Just confirming...we think Ellie is immune NOT because her mom was infected before the cord was cut, but rather because the same knife mom used to kill the clicker was then used to cut the cord, right? If so, it supports the theory that cordyceps+cord blood (stem cells) or cordyceps exposure right after birth is the path to immunity...
  2. I don't really care, but do wonder whether it would be more fun to have our deadline before or after the MLB trade deadline.
  3. KS and WHIP for pitchers. Most direct run prevention metrics IMO. OPS and Runs for hitters. Most direct run production metrics IMO. You could add Saves and Steals because fantasy. (I'm ignoring any advanced metrics that ESPN might have available) (I'm not totally serious, but it would certainly make for an interesting and new league experience)
  4. Ah, European nights at the Bridge....
  5. Game Joel this episode and Game Ellie the next episode, sweet. Also, this episode, which was awesome, was pretty much a re-creation of a matching portion in the game. Right down to that line Joel says at the end. And it hits the same.
  6. It's all about Whitley's command. If he can keep the walks down his stuff will play just fine...
  7. I don't trust the Indian batting at all. Anything over 200 and they'll wilt in the 4th innings. Can they kick Rahul and Pujara to the curb yet? It's ludicrous that Gill isn't in this squad, he's by far the most in form top order batsman.
  8. Also, I'd suggest that both Wins and Quality Starts are equally terrible, though for different reasons. What other options do we have in ESPN fantasy baseball? Quality Appearance? Scoreless Innings?
  9. Lol it's like that trailer was made for you(r username)
  10. Prediction---after everyone rips on the new GM for not doing enough at the deadline, Whitley is gonna turn into a swing pen/starter weapon for the stretch run a la Hunter Brown.
  11. Lol I'd never noticed Bags before. Upside-down baseball game is one of the great Houston sports calls of all time.
  12. My best or worst ever post on Surly. Time will tell...
  13. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cnh_BHBB4U4/?igshid=NDk5N2NlZjQ= Dayum.
  14. Just letting that sink in...our likely opening day starter could be our playoff #3 by the time October rolls around. And not because of mid-season acquisitions. Insane.
  15. Nkunku is fantastic, and hopefully will be back at that level post injury. But he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that plays as the #9 tip of the spear, but rather in one of the 3 spots behind that #9. Modern tactics are fluid though, so who the hell knows.
  16. Lol Arse. Would have preferred the 100 million be spent elsewhere, but still, this is hilariously like Willian all over again.
  17. If you asked me at the start of the season where Chelsea was strongest, I would have said in attacking mid/wings. And that was reinforced during the World Cup with how Ziyech and Pulisic performed. But that seems to be all Boehly and company care about addressing. We now will have Pulisic, Ziyech, Sterling, Mount, Felix, Murdyk. You could arguably even add Havertz and Nkunku to the list, as they are more in the mold of a second striker/false 9. Yes I get that some are injured right now. Meanwhile our midfield and defense continues to be woeful under Potter, with no spatter apparent reinforcements on the horizon...
  18. The Correa saga this off-season has just been weird. I don't recall him ever missing time in the majors because of the ankle. If anything, this whole situation likely demonstrates the hidden power that INSURANCE COMPANIES have over athlete contracts...I'm betting the major insurance carriers refused to insure Correa's 10+ year deals with SF and NYM because they thought the ankle will deteriorate in the future...I have serious doubts this was caused just by some team doctors raising alarms to ownership during a physical.

    Of course Surly has a man on the inside, awesome.
  20. I'm around Rice, Med Center, and West U.
