  1. This is a really cool breakdown of the Rockets salary cap changes through the offseason:
  2. Uh oh, Elon's gonna have to get into the code again and fix this issue with Grok! He's gonna be coding ALL NIGHT!
  3. This is more rage inducing that lol, but still kinda funny
  4. Yup, Dana has been excellent since he got to take decisions on personnel. He has found some good role players at the bottom of the barrel, and they have been a huge factor in this team being 15 games over .500. Those deadline trades have all been money, and will pay huge dividends come playoff time and next year. Sanchez has 2 years of arbitration left, and Urias has 1, so they aren't half season rentals and will give Dana a ton of flexibility in the offseason. If the team can get some more healthy pitchers back, the bullpen will improve greatly. Neris isn't good, but you need some guys to eat innings for now, and they still have another ~45 games to play. I don't think he will be here much longer, as other dudes get promoted, but he's fine for a stopgap. The playoff roster for this team should be stacked and worthy of winning it all.
  5. Oh wow, Chas must have ate his meatloaf tonight!
  6. Why would anyone need another Correa jersey???
  7. And you can see why Clase was always throwing his first pitch into the dirt, it's the only way to be certain.
  8. Or the Yankees' season thread, if that exists somewhere.
  9. And the Twins are paying us $33 million to keep him! Hahahhaha
  10. But I also enjoy seeing themm lose whenever the are not a threadt lollol
  11. Maldy did nothing wrong, dumbass Dusty just played him too much. Would love to see him back on the Astros.
  12. Fuck the Yankees!!!!
  13. I like this Devin Williams guy, hope the Yankees keep using him.
  14. 1993 is tough to beat, so many amazing films, and lots of average but entertaining stuff to follow up. Plenty of other movies are on the list, but I could get enjoy this lineup for a while. Jurassic Park Schindler's List Tombstone The Piano The Fugitive The Firm Cliffhanger Carlito's Way Hard Target Last Action Hero The Pelican Brief RoboCop 3 Dragon Ball Z: Broly Fun movies: Groundhog Day The Sandlot Dazed and Confused Mrs. Doubtfire The Nightmare Before Christmas Robin Hood: Men in Tights Hot Shots! Part Deux Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III So I Married an Axe Murderer Hocus Pocus Free Willy Homeward Bound The Super Mario Bros. Movie (lol) Grumpy Old Men Wayne's World 2 Loaded Weapon 1 Weekend at Bernie's II
  15. I googled it, and it said he was a lefty... But I think this may be a case of AI misinterpreting search results. I see the first several links for it being left handed highlights, and I think it's just summarizing the search results as a fact. But I see now he's listed as a righty on his draft profile. Anyways, if having a right handed Center to pair with Fox makes any conceivable difference, I'll be surprised. Never heard of a player mention that before.
  16. Yeah you're right, a few of O'Neil Cruz's homers were at 120+ EV. I think what they meant is that it was the fastest pitch hit for a homer.
  17. If that was all there was to it, that would be hilariously stupid. Plus Wemby is a lefty, which doesn't help your argument.
  18. "Gurriel crushed a 103.9 mph fastball from Miller into the left-field seats for a two-run homer in the eighth inning, tying the score at 5-all. It was the hardest-hit pitch for a homer since MLB started pitch tracking in 2008."
  19. He had Sabonis in Sac, who is no slouch and garners plenty of attention from the defense. Sabonis is a top 20 player by most accounts, and yet Fox's shooting numbers have been bad to average at best for most of his career. That's not a great indicator for a guy who is 27. Some of that may be him trying to carry a mediocre team and shooting too much to overcompensate for the lack of talent and coaching around him though. However, it's tough to gauge how much better he can be in a system and organization that is considered to be top 5 versus bottom 5 in the league. I know the Spurs have taken guys like this and turned them into better shooters, fixing small things like elbow placement, release point, the way they jump and land, etc etc. The Spurs do that really well and tend to get the most out of their players, so maybe Fox will get a whole lot better. Betting on that growth isn't a bad idea, but if they are wrong it will be an expensive mistake.
  20. The framework would be a whole lot better if Republicans would actually follow the laws and stop ignoring them. They treat it the same way modern Christians treat the Bible, they revere and worship it as a holy document ordained by god, but when it comes to actually reading and understanding how it works, they pick and choose the parts they like and ignore the parts that don't support their mission. It's a wholly self-serving ideology completely unrestrained by any moral or ethical principles. Anything can be justified by their interpretation of the ancient words, so long as they ignore details, context and historical precedents, which they enthusiastically do to their own benefit and convenience.
  21. Saw this headline on the NYT and it made me chuckle. It applies here, because for all the "helping the poor and downtrodden" that the Dems have historically supported as a main party tennet, they just can't seem to get behind this idea that Israel is committing an obvious and easily preventable genocide in Gaza. I'm sure Cuomo saw the good press and vibes that Zohran got from being against the wholesale slaughter and starvation of Gaza, and thought to himself "gee maybe I should try to take that away from him in this election!" Then I'm sure AIPAC called him and set him straight about what he's allowed to discuss publicly, or maybe his consulting and image team corrected him on it, probably both. Anyways, I think the Dems need to come out stronger as a party on this issue, as it likely would have been the difference in the Presidential election if Kamala had hammered on that issue instead of palling around with Liz Cheney.
  22. Are yall on Youtube Music? That's what I use now, and I don't think I have seen it there.
