I think a few people thought his homers would increase to high 20's (maybe 30) but no one thought he'd be leading the league in SLG and OPS. -
What does that have to do with the Yelich trade?
-
Yelich since the AS break: .358./.419/.725 That has to be the best half season in Brewer history. And yes, the AS break isn't really at the halfway mark. Edit: Yup

Also, thanks! Billy Jo was one of the guys I was like "THIS DUDE IS GONNA BE HUUUUGE when he gets to Milwaukee!!!!" His 1985 El Paso stats were outrageous, and of course little me had no idea what "ballpark effect" was, and I was just super disappointed that he made it to the show and completely flamed out. . There were so many guys that went through El Paso that put up monster numbers. Glenn Braggs, Joey Meyer, Billy Jo, all went through the same year.

This article is a couple weeks old now, but does offer some insight on what Christian Yelich has changed... https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/what-christian-yelich-has-changed/ This is from their fantasy preview: "His lineup context improves substantially by getting off the sinking ship that is Miami, but more importantly, he goes from the 29th-best park for lefty homers to the 3rd-best."
-
I think at this point Yelich is proving even the most optimistic of posters wrong. I had him pegged for maybe 27 HRs this year at most and maybe a high 800s OPS if things went right.
-
Since the all star game, Christian Yelich is... 4th in BA (.343) 1st in SLG (.700) 3rd in OPS (1.106) 3rd in ISO (.357)

I love this.
-
I know it happened to others around the same time that I applied. I think they were just inundated with new users during the bitcoin craze and didn't have server capacity to handle it.
-
Oops, I deleted my post accidentally. Yeah I applied then heard literally nothing for a month so I sent them an email. They replied saying something like their third party something something had rejected my application. Sorry, go trade somewhere else. So I forgot about them and then a few months later they sent me a welcome email. Really bizarre.
-
Yeah it's dirt cheap. They don't trade all stocks though. A bunch of companies I've wanted to buy weren't available.
-
"use" is a strong word. I have an account and a few stocks but I don't trade regularly. It's my fun money to invest in small and micro caps.
-
You can pull from a Roth IRA for a first time home purchase I think.
-
Over time small cap stocks out gain large caps. And if you are looking at a 15 - 20 year timeline then you have wiggle room with risk (obviously risk is personal though). So you could potentially put a large percentage in a small cap index fund. But if that is too risky by your standards then I'd probably just put almost all of it in a large cap index fund and let compounding interest work its magic. If you are are worried about inflation you can diversify and use part of it to invest in some real estate.

...and I'm done. Haven't binge watched a show like that in a while. I really enjoyed it - surprised I didn't watch it earlier. Breaking Bad in Missouri.
-
I just got into Ozark on Netflix. I was hooked halfway through episode 1.

Agreed on The Post. Good, not great. I love movies centered around newspapers for some reason. I think Dunkirk is one of those movies that is really best viewed in a theater with incredible sound.....like IMAX. Others I've seen recently (trying to catch up on 2016 Oscar nominees before I tackle 2017): Audition: Japanese horror classic. Dude loses his wife to cancer and his friend decides to hold auditions for a fake movie in order for his buddy to meet women. Moves slowly but the last 30 minutes are like David Lynch meets Eli Roth. Crazy, cringe worthy violence Hush: low budget horror film from a few years ago. Really well done. A deaf, mute woman who lives out in the woods is stalked by a killer. La La Land: Modern day fairytale about making it in show business. I thought it was cute but guessing most guys on this board won't dig it. Manchester By The Sea: Holy depressing, batman. Story about a guy who becomes legal guardian of his 16 year old nephew which might require him to move back to his hometown where, uh, some bad stuff happened to him. Great flick.
-
I think the property manager part is key. You have to be able to pay them AND make a small net profit every month. Not easy all the time which is why a lot of people self-landlord and that can be a pain unless you are handy and have time to do all the work.
-
My new company has a very generous retirement plan. dollar for dollar 4% match and a 5% match at the end of the year. So even if all you're doing is putting away 4% you are more or less saving 13% of your income. So I can totally see how someone who started there as a 22 year old could retire at 45 or so just on their 401K assuming they were saving like 18% of their income every check.

Based on futures markets, it looks like another big downturn tomorrow.

Interesting article on what moving to Miller Park might do for Yelich and Cain's power numbers: https://www.mlb.com/news/yelich-cain-should-benefit-from-miller-park/c-265412546
-
There were other teams interested in Yelich. I don't think the Marlins would have been ok with the Brewers saying "Can we just agree on this and not make it official until we trade one of our outfielders?"
-
Not sure if this has been mentioned but Yelich has a pretty big home/road split. For his career he's an 839 OPS away from home and 759 at home. He's 128 wRC+ away and 113 at home.
-
No they don't. Can someone please elaborate? That would help.
