    Nerd Wallet has a really good rent vs own calculator: https://www.nerdwallet.com/mortgages/calculators/rent-vs-buy-calculator Putting in my new rent numbers, current interest rates, and being conservative with the numbers, the best I get to with ownership is being +$20K after 13 years (that number gets me to 65). That is actually about the peak for ownership, as their calculations have ownership getting more expensive after that with repairs and maintenance on an older home. Not worth the ownership risk (and headache) for a max of +$20K after 13 years. Yeah, I can't do exactly everything I want with renting a home, but I know the downside of ownership can be a lot greater than that. And 10 years from now... good luck finding contractors to fix your home because they're aging out of the business. Unless you get lucky and buy a house in what becomes the hot new neighborhood/town and get extraordinary appreciation on value or get a really low interest rate (or both), you don't really make that much on a home. Or if you can stay in it for 40 years and your payment doesn't change (and gets eliminated after 30), but rare is the person who doesn't have to move in their life anymore.

    Tarik Skubal won the AL Cy Young last year and he lost 6 games. Garrett Crochet finished 2nd in the AL Cy Young. He lost 5 games. Christopher Sanches finished 2nd in the NL Cy Young pitching for PHI. He lost 5 games. Yamamoto finished 3rd in the NL Cy Young pitching for the Dodgers. He lost 8 games. Great pitchers lose games occasionally. Relax.

    October. Relax.
  4. LouisEly
    The Brewers have gotten 10-runned exactly zero times this year. Relax.
  5. LouisEly
    They lost two games by a combined total of 3 runs. That's baseball. Relax.

    Albies' back foot wasn't in the batter's box. Don't know how he gets away with that.
  7. LouisEly
    Oh, I know that. But if the assumption was that Megill was going to throw 15+ pitches, the thought was that for only 8 pitches he might consider leaving him in.
  8. LouisEly
    Only 8 pitches for Megill, maybe he comes back out with Ashby ready if he gets in trouble.

    Up by 2 in the 7th, how do you let a ball get by you down the 1B line?

    I'd be really curious to see PFF grades for the CBs when both Parsons and Wyatt were healthy, after Wyatt went down, and then after Parsons went down. I don't think it's coincidental that the corners didn't look good after they lost both their best outside and inside pass rushers. And I'd bet the list of ~190lb corners who enjoy tackling 240lb running backs is a short list.

    Part of that is because they have been dipping into the strategic oil reserves. They are now at a 43-year low. It takes a while for oil to get to consumable products. The tankers don't exactly move real fast. The tankers have to get to the ports, then the oil to the refineries, then refine to gas, motor oil, other petroleum products, etc., which takes a while. Continued oil supply constraints were getting to the point where future shocks were imminent.

    That may explain the last few batters.

    Historically they've allowed appeals to last until the player plays in NYC so that he can attend in person. The Brewers don't play in NYC until 8/25, so it may not be resolved until then. The Brewers are off on 8/24, so they may wait until 8/25 to serve the suspension.

    Not exactly facing Murderer's Row, but a job well done by Gasser
  16. LouisEly
    For those without a subscription, MLB.TV started their annual Fathers' Day 50% off deal.
  17. LouisEly
    Gasser certainly isn't getting any help from his teammates. In the field or at the plate.

    And during this time of surging prices, the US has become the world's top exporter of oil: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/once-an-arab-oil-embargo-victim-us-becomes-worlds-top-oil-exporter-2026-06-11/ At the risk of straying too far into the political spectrum, we're creeping up on midterm elections...

    I'm assuming that the MLB CBA prevent teams from DFA-ing a player who is injured. My guess is that they 1) saw LR get dinged up in the game and subsequently thought they might need CP if they had to DL LR and thus pulled CP from the game, and then 2) had to have a medical exam of LR to make sure that he wasn't injured and could DFA him. Now that LR has been medically cleared, they can DFA him and not have to put him on the DL.

    ...aaaaaannnd the Rockies don't even get an out in the 9th. 3 walks, 1 error, 1 single.
  21. LouisEly
    Until the Rockies bullpen blows it. Two walks and an error on the pitcher in the 9th to load the bases with nobody out.
  22. LouisEly
    Could very well be. Six weeks until the trade deadline, could have been a planned 6-week audition to see if they need to give up assets in a trade. Think they will still add one infielder, but a Pratt audition could be to see if they need to add two.
  23. LouisEly
    Yeah, I'm not making any investment decisions until the ink is dry from both signatures.

    Spurs are a pretty young team. Wemby - 22 Castle - 21 Vassell - 25 Harper - 19 Johnson - 26 It's pretty rare that a team that young wins it all in their first shot in the playoffs. The players have to learn how to win and close out games.
