  1. DP had O’D batting cleanup to start the season so that was either some recent DK-type wishful thinking or the’dude was actually raking this off season. Slumps do happen. I haven’t watched every game but I’ve seen O’D hit multiple line outs.

    If you think O’Dowd should get any PT then I don’t know what to tell you. He’s atrocious on both sides

    That’s pretty unfair but this is surly so I get it. DK may have potential but he may be a head case and you definitely don’t want to let him get super down on himself. A mix of him and O’D is probably for the best.

    D.K.'s offensive struggles are well-covered here. What I want to know is why the fuck was he batting 2nd?

    lol yeah I meant to comment about this in my game notes. DP is clearly showing DK that he still has confidence in him and hoping that he will rise to the pressure inherent at the top of the order. After DK made the risky throw to 2B but didn't attempt the throw to 1B, DP came to the mound and without even looking at the pitcher, spent a good 30 seconds talking to DK.

    My St Augustine had been near death for two years. I finally said fuck it and overseeded it with Bermuda at the beginning of February.  I didn't prep the lawn at all.  It's already taken over and is a nice dark green with minimal bare spots.  I haven't watered it once and don't really plan to.  

    Holy shit, I assumed you had to go down to the dirt to do this

    1.5M rounds is substantial. Does Ukraine have troops to exploit gaps?

    I hope they use these to buy time, to stabilize the lines, properly entrench in the north east, keep wrecking Russian o&g, air defenses, awacs, and recruit/train with confidence that they’ll have US equipment support in 2025.

  6. Dee Kennedy throw to 1st bruh. how you gonna be hyper aggressive throwing to 2nd then next play not even make that throw to 1st and allow a run? 

    heston tole just can’t hold baserunners?

    how was PP called for that E5? It was surprising he even got to it, if he doesn’t it’s a sure IF single, then he had to spin and make a perfect throw. Throw wide, runner can’t take an extra base, E5…galvan then comes up and hits a ball up the middle that curves back toward SS off the mound, fielded easily, bobbles transfer, throws, Galvan barely beats it, hit… I know this bobble misplay is specifically not an error per the rules but it’s wrong lol

    Texas 0-6 when trailing after 7th inning. No clutch hitting this year.

    Porter benching I get but why wasn’t Belyue starting? Obviously one of our best players imo. 

    duplantier stealing that bunt from PP like a dumbass to allow a run. He had no chance and didn’t trust our 3B play I guess.

    Kennedy just watching strike after strike to K in the 9th. PP clutch. Flores great long AB… Jalen Flores clutch AF HR. 

    Interestingly, PP catching for us in the 10th. Flores stepping into the base line but making a tough double play. He seems to make all the plays despite making some look too hard

    Dee Kennedy with a chance to redeem himself in 10th… 0-4 hitting .190 … flare to center to walk it off lol

    Why do we encourage Russia by tolerating this? Are we waiting until there’s a tragedy to gin up support for full scale war? Just hammer fuck the jammer the next time it shuts down with a bunch of low and slow shit simultaneously launched from NW Ukraine. Jam GLONASS all along the eastern front, Alaska, Japan, etc.

  8. From Reddit so big old grain of salt. Allegedly shows French news anchors covering potential deployment of troops. Consensus in comments seems to be that French troops would secure the Belarusian border, freeing up ~100k Ukrainian troops to go East. 

    predictable russian headline: “French troops would be priority targets!” … so obviously the opposite is true.

    Super fascinating story about SLERF COIN (lol) from Bloomberg today: 

    Bloomberg’s Muyao Shen reported last week: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-13/memecoin-trading-volume-rises-to-levels-last-seen-before-crypto-bubble-burst

    The memecoin frenzy in the digital-asset market shows no signs of stopping, with trading volumes now at levels last seen just before the burst of the last crypto bubble more than two years ago.

    Considered as some of the most speculative and volatile cryptocurrencies, memecoins such as Dogwifhat and Pepe are far outstripping the gains registered by market bellwether Bitcoin that has dominated the headlines. Trading volume for the top memecoins, which often trade for a fraction of a cent, reached nearly $80 billion in the past week, according to data compiled by blockchain data firm Kaiko. That’s the highest since October 2021. …

    Memecoins have been a long-existing phenomenon in crypto, as small investors and promoters see the microscopic prices of memecoins as an opportunity to quick post huge returns despite the lack of traditional fundamentals. ...

    A group of dogwifhat token holders announced last week a public fundraising campaign to put the dogwifhat meme on the Las Vegas Sphere. The group has already reached its target goal of $650,000 in the USDC stablecoin, based on the transaction history of the digital wallet for the fundraise. But it’s unclear whether and when the fund will be used to promote the meme in Las Vegas.

    What are dogwifhat’s fundamentals? Well:

    Its logo is a dog, with a hat.

    If people kick in enough money, maybe they can put a picture of the dog with the hat on the Las Vegas Sphere, which might encourage more people to kick in more money.

    What does the multiple-choice exam question about this look like? Or today we got the story of Slerf:

    A new Solana-based memecoin, Slerf, has faced significant challenges after the project’s developer accidentally burnt a major portion of the token supply — effectively losing $10 million, or the entirety, of presale participants’ money.

    "Guys I f—ed up," the project's official X account wrote. "I burned the LP and the tokens that were set aside for the airdrop. Mint authority is already revoked so I can not mint them. There is nothing I can do to fix this. I am so f—ing sorry."

    The Slerf team later went to an X Spaces to elaborate further on the situation. "I'm sick to my stomach," team member Slorg said in a Space on X. "I'm literally about to throw up."

    "I'm lost for words," they added. "I don't know what to do."

    Poor Slorg. Basically the way crypto works is that a guy named Slorg makes up a token named Slerf, which is distinguished from other tokens by having a cartoon sloth logo. You send $10 million of Solana crypto tokens to Slorg, and he makes a note to himself that he owes you some Slerfs. Then he accidentally flushes that note down the toilet and, due to the irreversible nature of the blockchain, you get no Slerfs and your money is permanently gone, though Slorg is very sorry. 

    If this were a company, and Slerf was a stock, this would all be bad: It is bad for a company to lose all of the money it raises in a stock offering. (Also, though, it would probably be reversible. If a company just lost its list of shareholders, it could probably, like, go back through its emails and reconstruct the list.)

    But Slerf is not a company or a stock: It is a crypto token, so absolutely nothing matters. Except that this is all sort of funny, and attention-grabbing, so of course Slerf went up. Arnold: “This mistake was very good for attention, and attention is the true value of any memecoin. So the obvious thing happened and the new tokens that were released shot up around 5,000%.” You could spend another 10 hours and 55 minutes pondering this but I do not recommend it.

    Anecdotally I can confirm this.  I have 3 homes in Austin.  The 2 in the $350k-$500k range have recent comps that show their prices are continuing to go up or are at least stable.  My other property is in the $600k-$900k range and the asking prices for similar homes has come down a bit, but not 20% down from peak.  My guess is that 20-25% decrease is coming from the homes in the $900k-$2M range.

    Porter Brown at #3, just like we all expected.

    His average arm and occasional dropped flies make him top 5 in the nation defensively? LF is clearly a hitters position

    Seriously asking since I guessed I completely missed it yesterday or today...I know Galvan hurt his thumb and can't catch, so Schuessler has been behind the plate.  He can't catch the ball for shit, but he's thrown out a few and has been hitting alright.  What happened to get Powell at catcher?

    Schuessler was hit by several foul balls his last outing behind the plate. Some of those are because he does that dumb fucking thing where he drops to a knee and sticks the other leg out to the side so his entire lower body is completely exposed. Some were just the sort that come with the territory being behind the plate and exactly why we don’t want PP back there long term.
