    Probably because you are part of Seattle's market.

    Would be better to just go with cloud servers as they can scale up and down depending on demand. A lot of companies are going away from physical servers (on premise) to the cloud servers.

    I would bet on Rutschman signing an extension. Probably something higher than what Posey and Mauer got. With the new Orioles ownership I think this will be something they will push for. Something around 10/$230mm for Rutschman sounds about right and what I would expect the new ownership group in Baltimore would be willing to do. I don't think Contreras will get anywhere close to that. Probably something closer to what his brother signed for would be my guess. I think Contreras has more to risk by not signing an extension as you can't get injured in a lot of different ways and in far more ways than any other player on the team. Catchers get injured it happens and their bodies breakdown a lot faster than other positional players. Catching is far more demanding on the body than playing any other position on the field. It would be wise for Contreras to at least seek out an extension before he hits FA.

    I don't think the NIL/transfer portal are as much of a problem as some are making it out to be. The majority of these transfers have been players who would normally transfer anyways. The only real difference is they get to play a year earlier. I don't see a real or major problem here. Until multiple superstar level athletes start to leave programs on a yearly basis I won't see this as an issue. How many big names have made a transfer recently that would majorly change the team they are leaving from and going to? I doubt it is larger than a handful.

    They are however don't expect a rate cut any time soon. Inflation is still too high for a few of the governors and the job market and spending look to be all healthy. If anything I think the Fed will just hold its course and won't increase or decrease the rates this year. I still believe the Fed will hold and won't decrease rates until Q4 2024 or Q1 2025. If spending and the job market stay where they have been I don't see the Fed doing much of anything but if inflation starts to creep back up again I fully expect a rate increase to happen again.

    Would the Marlins trade Sandy Alcantara? He won't be able to pitch again until 2025 due to TJ surgery. Wouldn't be a bad move by the Brewers as they could have Peralta, Woodruff and Alcantara at the top of the rotation. I am not sure the Marlins would trade Alcantara and the price maybe more than what would be worth the risk.

    I believe WPA is a better stat to use than WAR for pitching. I believe it correlates better than WAR does at least for pitchers on determining who is having a good season.

    Patriots want 3+ 1st round picks to move off of #3. Like I have said previously the Vikings won’t be able to get the #3 pick without giving up more than what the Bears received for the #1 pick last year. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10115678-nfl-draft-rumors-patriots-seek-more-than-3-1st-round-picks-to-trade-down-from-no-3

    The end of the bench type players in the NBA are filled with a lot of bad players. The Bucks are paying Thanasis about $2m to sit at the end of the bench. TyTy Washington is making about $500k to be a 2-way player that is basically what I think Storr is at contract wise in the NBA.

    Blue text means sarcasm on this board. That wasn’t a serious statement.

    Hoop lowered plus making the court a little bit shorter length wise would make the game play a bit faster. It would be closer to the Men's play if they did that. My main criticism of women's basketball is that it is played so slowly compared to men's basketball. It is like time traveling back to the 1920's and watching that type of basketball now. It is extremely boring to watch. There is just not enough explosive plays and the pace is played so slowly. I truly believe lowering the hoop and shortening the length of the court by a few feet should make the game more watchable on the women's side.

    BLASPHEMY! Billy Madison is only second to Happy Gilmore for Adam Sandler movies!

    Progress stops for no one. They can also ask one of the attendants to do it for them if they don’t have a smart phone. Plus senior people shouldn’t be driving anyways.

    Not sure what is so confusing but from the MJS link:

    Some very poor PA’s by Frelick today.

    Peralta looked much more calmer starting today. He wasn’t overly amped up like he usually is for the first two or three innings. Hopefully this is the Peralta we see all season long!

    Tunein also allows you to stream MLB games. It is $3.99 a month or $2.99 a month if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber. I used that app in the past and it was OK quality wise. They used to have the NFL which was an awesome deal in the past where you could get NHL, MLB and NFL all for $4 a month. The MLB At Bat app is a better app for Radio IMHO.

    Because then Milwaukee would get more home games early and that would mean Selig had a hand in this and the world of baseball is going to end because of this.

    85 wins and 2nd in the NL Central no playoffs and no major trades.
  20. nate82
    Yes through an MLB.TV subscription and also no if you are trying to watch a team in your home market.

    Someone is going to need a day off here and there. I think the daily starting OF will be Chourio/Mitchell in CF with Yelich in LF and Frelick/Chourio in RF. Then when Yelich is the DH Chourio, Mitchell and Frelick will be starting in the OF which is about 50 games. You only need to find about another 100 games for the other part of the equation. So lets go conservative here and say Frelick gets about 30 games at 3B that means you only need about another 70 games from him to play in the OF to get to 150 games and the same for Chourio and Mitchell. Chourio and Mitchell will probably get one or two games at DH also. Lets say that is just one game for each at DH. It is not that difficult to get to 150 games played for Chourio, Frelick and Mitchell. I think Mitchell gets about 3 games a week starting in the OF and 1 game where he is used as a pinch hitter. Also games are not really all that important it is PA's that are far more important and I believe there are plenty of PA's to go around for Chourio, Frelick and Mitchell to get about 450 PA's each which is about 140-150 games played.

    With the new rules the Nationals can’t do this as they are not in the competitive balance group. The Nationals will be able to pick in the top five for next year’s draft but won’t be able to pick in the top 6 again until the 2027 draft. Revenue sharing teams can’t draft in the top six in back to back seasons.

    Gonzaga absolutely destroyed Kansas in the second half. What was a very competitive game in the first half became an absolute beat down in the second.

    You do know crypto falls under those same anti-money laundering laws? Incorrect a fiat can disappear tomorrow and all you will have is a coin or a piece of paper having very little to no value. There is no law or regulation on fiat currencies. For example if the US government decided to change the currency tomorrow and make the money you have worth nothing there is nothing you could do about it. You would just have to go with it and start over. Or the government could go with a stupid monetary policy and cause hyperinflation. A countries fiat isn’t even tied to anything unless you are talking about the gold standard which no longer exists. The US dollar is tied to nothing. Nothing is backing up these fiats and they can be removed with zero consequences.

    This is just a clinic on what not to do offensively.
