  1. They would need to win 15 games and they have 5 vs the Pirates, 6 vs the Phillies, 6 vs the Padres, 3 vs the Braves, 6 vs the Reds, 3 vs Orioles and 7 vs the Brewers. Only the Pirates and Padres are under .500. They have 31 games against playoff contenders if you include the Padres otherwise only 25 games against playoff contenders. They would need to win the remaining games against the Pirates for 5 wins and then pick up 10 wins against the Phillies, Padres, Braves, Reds, Orioles and Brewers. They would need to go 10-21 against those teams which is possible but not all that likely. If they only pick up 2 or 3 against the Pirates then that means winning 12 or 13 against the playoff contenders which gets even more difficult. And I was being questioned for stating the Cardinals were out of it back in June and July because that one time the Cardinals were able to make a comeback and make it into the playoffs.
  2. I have seen the Dolphins cap around $10-13mm so I believe they would have enough. I completely forgot about the Dolphins. I knew they were interested in Cook but completely forgot they didn't really go out and get a RB as they have Mostert as their starting RB now. JT to the Dolphins makes some sense. I think the Colts will want a 3rd or 4th round pick but I think the best offer they will get is a 6th and 7th for JT. The Dolphins only have their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th round picks for next years draft so it will probably be a 6th round pick in '24 and a 7th in '25. Feels kind of low but if the Colts ask for more then the players union may have a case for a grievance against the team. Something around a 2nd or 3rd round pick should be a contract around $5-8m which is about middle of the road RB territory. JT is probably asking for something around $10mm annually. If that is the case he is not all that far off on his valuation. If the Colts are only offering around $3-4mm annually then their best case is a 5th-7th round pick maybe a 4th round pick at the high end. The players union would have a grievance case against the Colts and I think they win that due to the value that the teams put on the draft picks.
  3. The Colts have given Jonathan Taylor permission to seek a trade. https://theathletic.com/4794686/2023/08/21/jonathan-taylor-trade-request-colts-irsay/?source=user_shared_article I am going to go with the Bears as a possible destination for JT, though I don’t think he fits into their offensive scheme. Hard to find another team that would have the cap room to extend him to a contract he would sign. Probably a 2nd or 3rd round pick in return should be JT’s value.
  4. I still believe the Brewers plan for next year is to compete unless they are absolutely overblown with an offer for Burnes or Woodruff. Adames maybe traded in the off season to the Dodgers but nailing down a return for that is extremely difficult. Adames still brings elite level defense at SS and his bat this year has been absolutely awful but better than what the Dodgers have been putting out there. I don't believe the Dodgers see Lux as an everyday SS and instead see him more as a 2B.
  5. One that I have been recently watching is Metatron. A lot of good information on medieval times if you are into that. https://www.youtube.com/@metatronyt
  6. I don't believe a catcher can do much about it other than complain to the umpire. It is the umpires responsibility to make sure the batter is inside the batters box and not the catcher. I don't think the umpire would have allowed for Contreras to move any further back as they are going to stand where they feel comfortable calling balls and strikes. This is really the umpires responsibility.
  7. I know I should probably just put this in the what is bugging me thread but I think it is better to put it here. I was going through some Tony Gwynn interviews and some other interviews with other players and I have come to the conclusion that some posters on here would have hated Gwynn as a hitting coach. This is mostly on his thoughts on stances or the lack there of. Gwynn didn't see stances as being all that important to hitting.
  8. Power isn't just home runs. If Frelick doesn't develop some better exit velocities soon he is just going to be a slap hitting singles hitter. Which is valuable as long as his speed holds up and that is only a hamstring injury away from being gone. Exit velocity or hard hit or squaring up or whatever you want to call it is crucial for a batter. So him being at the bottom of the league in exit velocity is concerning and he needs to turn that around. Right now Frelick is having a similar problem that Gwynn had earlier in his career and that is handling the inside fastball. He has to learn how to turn on that pitch otherwise pitchers are going to take advantage of him there. Add that up with his low exit velocity which means he is not getting the barrel of the bat to the ball. He is just swinging and just barely making contact.
  9. OK Troll.
  10. It is not you should look up extraterritorial jurisdiction. If the age of consent is 16 in another country as a US citizen the age of consent is still 18 for you and you can and will be charged with statutory rape. https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/citizens-guide-us-federal-law-extraterritorial-sexual-exploitation-children
  11. It looks like Acuna should get to 60 SB's this year and may get to 30+/60+ season. I think Acuna by far is the NL MVP and there really isn't anyone else close. This feels like the Trout years where he was the MVP by default in the AL.
  12. Crazy that it has been that long.
  13. When was the last time there was a 20/60 player? By 20/60 I mean 20 HR's and 60 SB's.

  15. Yes you do!!!!! More working from home would solve the problem however you are not going to get corporate America to buy into that. More offices are being built and then you have others at about 60-70% occupied during the week. It is a struggle to just keep hybrid at times. Methane is an option and would allow farmers with heavy equipment to store and use a renewable energy source. Could also be a cost savings to farmers where they won’t need to buy fuel as they will have an abundance of it. Also landfills could also supply their own fuel for their heavy equipment.
  16. If it is going to be for the division it will probably be more than $20 extra for a ticket. Well depending on where that ticket is. Probably closer to $50 extra for a ticket.
  17. It was just an example of legality nothing more. Plus if true it doesn’t really matter as both the DR and US have the same age of consent laws. Nationally for the US that is which is the law that needs to be followed by US citizens internationally, some states have different laws but that doesn’t apply when traveling internationally or from state to state.
  18. Depends on the country and if he is a US citizen. If he is a citizen of a country where age of consent is 14 which he is not. I believe he is still a Dominican Republic citizen which is 18. US law applies to US citizens internationally so if something is legal in another country and is illegal in the US you are breaking the law and could be charged. For example if it is legal to drink alcohol at 16 in one country it is still illegal for a US citizen to drink alcohol in that country and you can be charged for illegally drinking alcohol once back in the US.
  19. Sound of Freedom should win some awards but won’t. It is a great movie with an actual plot and character development. A far better movie than Oppenheimer and Barbie.
  20. Yeah this one looks to be a free article there. https://theathletic.com/4768421/2023/08/11/wisconsin-recruiting-xavier-lucas/
  21. The Athletic has him as a 3-star so went with 3-star.
  22. Another 3-star DB has committed to the Badgers.
  23. How is ‘83 41 years ago? 2023-1983 = 40.
  24. So just another conspiracy theory got it.
  25. Can you prove that Stearns has already agreed to take the job and no your wild conspiracies don't count.
