    Agreed, and that sentiment doesn't even take into account the lack of EV comps to ICE vehicles manufactured for consumers in developing countries, where a Civic would be considered luxurious. Sure, people will continually say that "those more budget-friendly EV's will be here and to market soon"...without realizing the sheer scale of what they are assuming can readily happen actually is globally.

    Splitfinger fastballs probably are harder overall on the arm because of the tension pitchers need to put on the baseball with the fingers (and tendons going further into the forearm to the elbow) - traditional sliders are also hard on the elbow ("turn the door knob" sort of release action), but as Bauer indicates above grip adjustments can create an effective slider without so much torque on the elbow.

    That was how they had such a good 2022 regular season - we all knew they were frauds and were quickly bounced out of the playoffs at home against the Daniel Jones-led Giants that year. They are a team constantly in transition with a thin roster that's log in the tooth a key spots - a couple injuries to the wrong guys and they're going to get exposed.

    I think the Bryce Young situation has more to do with a college Heisman winner on a juggernaut college program being overrated heading into that draft, and a bad Panthers team made the wrong selection. There have been plenty of collegiate QBs with all the accolades get picked high and instantly flame out. It's too lucrative an opportunity to pass on being a professional football player that will be drafted in the top 5 to stay in college, no matter what the NIL money amounts to. Jordan Love (a late 1st round developmental pick) had a great half of one season 4 seasons into his pro career and is now generationally wealthy.

    absent the fumble by Jacobs going in to score a TD and a missed FG, yesterday was a great game for the Packers that could have easily been a curb-stomping compared to a game that hung in the balance to the last hail mary play. Asking for more out of Willis or a better overall gameplan (both offensively and defensively) is just getting greedy week 2 with a backup quarterback getting the home opener start. GB dominated the trenches a week after it felt like they were getting pushed around a bit too much - great bounceback team W.

    Monasterio is the guy who should be DFA'd

    Youngest ever to have a 20/20 season in MLB....congrats Jackson!

    Week 1 loss looked ugly, yes - had GB offense turned one of those early red zone opportunities from Eagle turnovers into a TD, that game plays out differently and the Packers probably are 1-0. Love played poorly, to be frank - but so did the rest of the team....which is an annual week 1 frustration for Packer fans besides when they play the Bears. Packer defense was far from good, obviously...but it's easy to forget how stacked the Eagles' offense is. A healthy Barkley was dynamic, and I don't think there's a better WR duo in the league than Brown/Smith on the outside. Plus the Eagles still have a pretty good O line. I think that team wins their division rather comfortably this year, despite the annual Cowboy hype. Losing by 1 score, week 1 to a playoff team in flipping southern Brazil on a field that looked like it was 2 inches of fresh sod thrown on top of an ice rink isn't the end of the world.

    Meh...not making proclamations in week 1 in today's NFL. There will be another team or two that have something to say about that inevitability. NFL now is kind of a "Wake me up when it's november" to know who's good and who's healthy enough to make a run.
  10. Fear The Chorizo
    Important to remember the last time the Packers played both of those teams, they were just as if not more physical than both of them.
  11. Fear The Chorizo
    Naw...everyone in Jets land is getting fired later this year
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    That's being generous, too
  13. Fear The Chorizo
    Would be nice if Love could wind up with a 50 % completion percentage by the end of the night, tough...ish
  14. Fear The Chorizo
    While true, I'm putting zero emphasis on tonight's game (good or bad) on what this team and what Love will be at the end if the season. September NFL regular season football is a horrible product with the changes to training camps and having 17 regular season games. This is like what the NFL hall of fame preseason games used to be like 15 years ago...and it's being played thousands of miles away from either of these teams' home stadiums on a garbage field.
  15. Fear The Chorizo
    That declined extra point to run Jacobs I to a wall early this game while going for two instead would look pretty nice tacked onto that score right now...
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    Holy moly the laundry in this game...even uglier that it's all justified flags, too
  17. Fear The Chorizo
    That happens to alot of DBs...don't really love whatever this scheme/gameplan is against the skill position weapons the Eagles have. Looking like a track meet game now
  18. Fear The Chorizo
    Yes, they shouldn't even be playing on this field. NFL should be ashamed of itself
  19. Fear The Chorizo
    Nfl game on a middle school quality field
  20. Fear The Chorizo
    No real preseason and 1st game traveling to a different hemisphere...yeah this is borderline unwatchable
  21. Fear The Chorizo
    Woodruff, Ashby, Freddy, Rea, Hall.... Miz....Montas maybe? Tobias....Gasser 2nd half??? 2025 looking pretty exciting on the rotation side of things if you ask me.
  22. Fear The Chorizo
    It would be so Pirates for them to continue running out Skenes for a few more starts and have his UCL blow out. I would hope they have a set innings limit they won't let him cross since they're out of playoff contention, with the idea of having him as their Opening Day starter next season. It's not worth the risk of him getting injured pitching meaningless late September innings for a team not headed to the playoffs that could take a big step forward this offseason centered around their starting rotation with a healthy Skenes headlining it.
  23. Fear The Chorizo
    It looked that much better just with the Brewers because he got one of his typical extended in-season offensive slumps out of the way in a different uniform. The seeing the ball differently in a home ballpark not named the Trop helped initially, too.
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    I think so....and it is RO the YEAR, not necessarily who is playing the best at the end of the season. Making the counting stats probably more meaningful over the course of the full 162. Merrill is definitely the favorite for the award in the NL based on the full body of work - but the fact Chourio is even in the conversation at this point speaks to how unbelievable he's been for the past 3 months of a season that some were openly questioning into June when he should get optioned down to AAA to restore his confidence at the plate.
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    Yes, Merrill had a crazy good August himself - and both are raking into September....Merrill has had ok months early (just under 0.700 OPS), then an awesome June, dip back towards a 0.700 OPS in July, and an awesome August (0.969 OPS). Chourio's season-long OPS was sub 0.600 at the end of May, since then he's been OPS-ing ~0.900, ~0.875, ~0.925, and now ~1.4 from June into September. The fact Chourio is within 0.1 WAR of Merrill despite his April/May early season scuffles and roughly 2.5-weeks fewer ABs is crazy, because Merrill really hasn't had an extended slump period in his rookie season. Merrill also has roughly 50 more ABs to add to his counting stats since Chourio's early season issues led to him being a part time player for a couple months in May/June while he was turning things around. Chourio is getting intentionally walked in plenty of late-game situations now....in order for pitchers to face veteran middle of the order hitters instead. Even though it won't apply to him next year anymore, there should be a MLB rule change that if you aren't yet of legal drinking age stateside, you can't be intentionally walked.
