  1. That error by Abreu also cost an out, which allowed the 2nd out to be a sac fly instead of ending the inning. Fucking blows.
  2. Early game today, just started with a single off the first pitch by Acuna. Pirate stream for those that need it: https://www.thestreameast.to/mlb/atlanta-braves-houston-astros-8/ Oh and now they called a balk on JP for his pickoff attempt at him, Acuna to second...
  3. And he gets taxed a huge amount for that, about 37%. Plus he's building his own 20 million dollar home/compound in Hawaii, probably spending elsewhere moving to a new city, etc etc. I know his potential earnings are ungodly, but missing 24m is probably a pretty big dent in his bank account at the moment.
  4. Thanks to the wonders of AI music technology, I can make this into a song in minutes! I added a little to it, but you get the idea. Have a listen! https://suno.com/song/b6f6f2e1-cc55-4227-b94f-57a99b87ab64
  5. An 8-9 Play-in would probably be more practical, but they want the extra games with the elimination games ala NCAA Tournament style of play. It's a big draw, gets people to watch what would otherwise be snoozer 1v8 and 2v7 series. It's an entertainment product and all, I don't see an issue with it.
  6. He doesn't, but he's out around 24? million if we are to believe the accusations against his interpreter. That's a huge chunk of change to a guy only making 2m a year in salary. He really needs to pick up some new endorsement deals to fill in that cash, maybe ESPN Bet could use a new frontman?
  7. Looked foul to me, but might as well challenge, not like you have any other options.
  8. Finally this team will properly address the Closer position and cut Hader.
  9. Looks like Barney and Baby Bop's lovechild.
  10. Just paid Derka via venmo, congrats buddy!
  11. Get your rally caps ready, Chas is on second!
  12. I think it depends on the player. If you're a guy like Singleton, Meyers, Dubon, Abreu, etc, don't swing. If you're a badass hitter in top 4 of the lineup, swing away.
  13. They are additive for each drawing between the Rockets/Nets picks, so 6% chance of getting pick #1 in this chart. Then you have 6.5% for #2, 7.1% for #3 and 7.8% for #4. If you want to add all those together, then you have to divide it by 400, not 100, because it's 4 drawings. Nets have a 5.05% chance of top 4, Rockets pick is 1.8%, and you can add those together for a 6.85% chance of a top 4 pick between the two. The AVG column on the right is the average draft position for that pick based on the odds.
  14. That's not how it works. You have a ~5/100 chance 4 times, which is like 20/400, or 5% overall for the Nets pick. Rockets have a very slim chance of getting their pick upgraded, so it will likely be the 9th overall pick from the Nets and nothing else.
  15. They had significant injuries to Mobley, Mitchell and Garland throughout the year, and were only 1 game out of third place. They put in a half-hearted effort today against the Hornets and basically tanked the game, since it meant nothing. Not exactly a great argument if you're trying to say they aren't a top 3 team in the East. The only team that may have had worse injury luck in the East was Philly. Giannis missed 9 games, Dame 10, and they were 1 game better than Cleveland. Whoopty doo.
  16. Probably the worst called game I have witnessed, strike zone was 4 feet wide at times, and then not on the very next pitch. It's like they need to put an ump bump (is that a thing?) behind home plate so he knows where to stand, because it seems like he's moving over a foot every few pitches. Love the 3 incorrect strikes against Langford as the callout on the side. He would be an embarrassment to the league if they actually cared about accuracy, or maybe they are keeping him around so they can make a better case for robo-umps.
  17. Altuve is right, this game was a blueprint for the plan going forward. If they can score 7 runs in the 7th every game, they should be able to win 90+ by the end of the season. I really like that plan and hope they continue it.
  18. Yup, you can thank KD for that. He did the same to the Suns with the stupid ass Beal trade too. At least the Nets have some hope in the Suns falling apart in the future, but otherwise the next few years are pretty bleak. Look at that: Suns get: Bradley Beal Jordan Goodwin Isaiah Todd Wizards get: Chris Paul Landry Shamet Bilal Coulibaly (No. 7 pick, via Pacers) 2024 first-round pick swap 2024 second-round pick 2025 second-round pick 2026 first-round pick swap 2026 second-round pick 2027 second-round pick 2028 first-round pick swap 2028 second-round pick 2030 first-round pick swap 2030 second-round pick Pacers get: Jarace Walker (No. 8 pick, via Wizards) Future second-round pick (via Wizards) Future second-round pick (via Suns)
  19. Sorry, yeah that's right for 2024, I was reading the 2025 scenarios.
  20. I believe they have the swap option with Brooklyn, but also 1-10 protection with OKCs swap. So basically they will get the best pick between themselves and Brooklyn. Brooklyn will likely get the OKC pick, while OKC picks 12th in the Rockets spot. Houston probably gets 9th overall, unless they get lucky. They have about a 6% chance at top 4 each time the lotto balls drop. From realGM "2025 first round draft pick from Oklahoma City or Brooklyn (Houston outgoing to Oklahoma City or Brooklyn) Oklahoma City has the right to swap its 2025 1st round pick for Houston's 2025 1st round pick protected for selections 1-10 or the L.A. Clippers' 2025 1st round pick; Houston then has the right to swap its pick or the Oklahoma City pick for Brooklyn's 2025 1st round pick; if the Houston pick falls within its protected range, then Houston's obligation to Oklahoma City will be extinguished and Houston will instead have the right to swap its pick for the Brooklyn pick"
  21. He probably didn't pay off all the debt, as he was only able to steal so much at a time.
