  1. There's so much player turnover in CFB that there isn't really any game film to make an accurate estimate until the 3rd week. Pre-season is basically a guess outside of the top 5-10.
  2. Will be interesting to see who is available in the bullpen after two straight games of short starts. Best case scenario is Burnes goes seven, then Payamps for one and Williams for one. Not envisioning another 8-9 run outburst with Cole starting. If Burnes struggles, might have to see Chafin and Vieira.
  3. Half of the purpose of the tempo offense is to not give the defense time to set up. Not enough time to diagnose, align, and call an effective blitz. The offense was worse than the defense in the first half. Calling run plays for the guards to pull doesn't work against a fast and undersized defense than swarms. With a fast, undersized defense you have to go straight at them and force them to stand their ground. That, or run effective play action/RPO to draw the LBs up and open up the intermediate pass which they did in the 2nd half.
  4. And if they don't go for two it's still a one score game
  5. No... that never happens with Pac-12 officials
  6. WR got inside with no safety, pass has to be more to the inside.
  7. Seems like every run they're trying to pull the guards. Can't do that against a quick front seven, you have to go right at them and don't give them time to swarm.
  8. Since July 1st, the Cubs are 38-25. The Brewers are 36-23. The Cubs have gained exactly zero games since July 1st. Anything can happen in a 3-4 game span. But in baseball it is really hard to gain significant ground, even over a span of two months.
  9. And the lead is back to four games!
  10. I want to see three bloopers caught by the Brewers OFs just to REALLY make the Yankees' fans mad.
  11. Rottino said the Brewers are "pouring it on"!!
  12. Thus why they're in last place
  13. Can he get 38 more strikeouts this season to get to the magic number of 3000?
  14. Just need a 270' fly ball Poor run prevention unit
  15. And then Frelick swings at three pitches out of the zone.
  16. Two walks, two other batted balls that don't leave/shouldn't have left the infield. Can't have that.
  17. Wild pitch by Palencia with a runner on 3rd followed by a Pham single and AZ up 3-1!
  18. Aaaand somehow the D-Backs botch a pop-up to 2B that allows Hoerner to score all the way from 1B.
  19. This isn't exactly true either. Property taxes have no bearing on your real estate ROI. You always pay property taxes; if you're not paying them directly, you're paying rent which has property taxes baked in. If it's rental property, your tenants are paying the property taxes with their rent. My rental property outside of Madison had $6.5K in property taxes last year. My tenants paid $40K in rent. I still earned between 14% and 35% on my initial investment, not including free cash flow on rent. The extra money that you put into your mortgage payment to pay it off early has an opportunity cost of being invested elsewhere and earning compound interest. Every investment advisor will tell you to put your money towards the highest interest rate. It's better financially to invest in the market and earn, on average, 10%, than pay off a 5% mortgage early. Paying off a mortgage early is a psychological benefit, not a financial one. In your scenario, if you purchased a $500K home with 10% down ($100K) at 5% interest, in order to pay it off in 3.5 years you would have to pay an extra $8.2K/month towards that loan. If you invested $8.2K/month at 10% interest, you would have $414K in 42 months. That's $14K more than the $400K loan you paid off. More importantly, that $414K is growing almost $3.5K/mo at 10% interest, more than enough to pay the $2.1K monthly payment on the loan if you paid it off over 360 months instead.
  20. Career vs. PHI: Burnes: 0.55 ERA, 0.796 WHIP, 13.2 K/9, 4.00 K/BB Woodruff: 1.76 ERA, 0.783 WHIP, 10.3 K/9, 3.50 K/BB Peralta: 4.01 ERA, 1.176 WHIP, 13.1 K/9, 6.00 K/BB The Phillies lifetime numbers versus them suggests they don't do very well against the Brewers.
  21. Given that you purchased in 2009 (I bought my rental properties in 2011) I assume there has been significant appreciation. Given that it's a rental property, I assume you have not lived in it 2 of the last 5 years and thus will need to pay capital gains taxes on the appreciation of the value. Something to consider. Have you had an attorney review their offer? I wouldn't necessarily trust the bank or your realtor. My gut feeling - don't take the offer. If they stop paying, you'll have to sue them and they likely have deeper pockets and can afford better attorneys than you. Not exactly true. It's true that real estate only goes up slightly more than inflation. But it is appreciating on the value of the property, not what you've put into it. Consider a property worth $500K. You place 20% down, or $100k. Real estate appreciates on average at 2-3% per year (my rental property is 5% compounded from when I purchased it). Let's assume 3% per year. That 3% is on $500K, so it goes up in value by $15K. But you've only invested $100K, so your rate of return is $15K/$100K = 15%. Now, 12 years after I purchased my rental properties, they are worth ~$500K. If they appreciate at just 2% this year, that's $10K in value increase. But I only put ~$70K down, so my ROI on my initial investment is $10K/$70K or 14% (excluding rental income or repairs I have put in to them). If they appreciate 5%, my ROI on my initial investment is $25K/$70K or 35%. Let's say I was living in them and not collecting rental income. I've put about $30K in repairs into them (had I lived in them this would be a lot lower as most of that is flooring/paint from tenant damage). On 2% appreciation this year my ROI would be 10% for this year ($10K/$100K). On 5% appreciation, my ROI would be 25% ($25K/$100K).
  22. FFRHX https://money.usnews.com/funds/mutual-funds/bank-loan/fidelity-advisor-floating-rt-hi-inc-fd/ffrhx Someone who knows more about bonds than I do tell me why this would be a bad investment while interest rates are high.
