I am waiting for some stocks to slip and start buying. Namely ARM, NNE, NVDA, AMD, PLTR and IONQ. I have few target amounts for them and if they go below it I will be really happy!
-
That seals it with the loss last night. The best they can do is a 6th seed and if they lose out and have an early BE tournament exit they may be looking at an 8-10 seed.

Gradually I believe. My ears and throat would itch once in awhile when eating a banana. Then about a month ago it got worse. Went to doctor and she goes stop eating bananas you are probably allergic to them now.

I saw some sports website saying the Titans should trade the #1 pick for Purdy. How does this even make sense?
-
Wouldn’t necessarily be to recover picks more a long the players available to draft at that spot. Most mocks have it being a heavy Oline pick. I think the Bears trade that pick to get something other than an Oline player.
-
I think this almost guarantees the Bears trade out of the #10 pick in the draft.
-
The Brewers needed someone to eat some innings and that is what they got. Realistically he is probably more of a #4 or #5 starter now. Still a solid signing though it feels like the Brewers have been trying to acquire him since 2018.
-
That is why I said they need to sweep the last two in order to get a 4 or 5 seed. If they split they don’t really move up or down as they are basically in that 6-10 seeding. I put 6-10 as sometimes weird things happen with the selection committee. So rating wise they should be a 6 now that doesn’t mean the selection committee will put them at a 6 they could drop lower but they shouldn’t drop any lower than an 8 as long as they split and don’t do an earlier exit in the conference tournament.
-
I think UCONN is a must win for Marquette if they want to get back into a 4 or 5 seed. I think right now they are in the 6-10 seeding due to the bad losses. They can’t split and get a 4-5 seed they have to win out to get back into the 4-5 seeding.

Billy Eppler named Brewers special advisor
nate82 replied to Jastro's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Isn’t Eppler just taking the spot Gord Ash used to hold like two years ago before he fully retired? -
It has been really windy here in the Phoenix area around 17 MPH to the WNW.

Jays Centre: are strikeouts really that bad?
nate82 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It would be universally true as you are taking the majority of the outcomes and averaging them out. If you are talking about one off situations then there really isn't an answer other than the one that confirms the bias. A higher OBP is always going to return with a higher runs scored than a lower OBP. You can't score if you don't get on base. The .330 OBP player may get one or two more runs scored a season but on average that .350 OBP player is going to drive in more runs. Ask yourself this with 1 out and a man on 3B would you rather have Alec Bohm (.332) or Rafael Devers (.354) with 1 out and a man on 3B? At some point the K rate matters as we normally don't see players being all that successful with a K rate above 30%. -
Pffft that is Prince Fielder and you know it!

I am hoping Woody pitches in the game I am going to on 3/23.

Completely disagree the MLB draft is rather easy to follow. Yes there are surprises here and there like the Brewers last year but it really isn't all that hard to follow. There are surprises in every draft even in the NFL. Players drop either because of signing issues or medical issues. In MLB it is easy to follow and you know ahead of time if a player is going to have signing issues. It will become rather obvious when teams start passing on a player in the 10-15 range when no one has selected the player in that range. Usually when that happens it is either a medical issue or the player wants top 5 money.

Not playing in AAA isn't really a hindrance or something to hold against a player. The jump from AA to AAA is a wash maybe a slight increase in difficulty. It is like going from easy difficulty to normal difficulty in a video game. The biggest jump a player has is going to MLB the jump from AA - MLB is not all that different than going from AAA - MLB. The talent in AAA is mostly veterans who are just barely hanging on or AAAA players. Top prospects usually only last for a few months in AAA and that is mostly to avoid super 2 status. The not being on the 40-man will be the main reason why he doesn't start with the Brewers and instead goes to AAA. Not playing in AAA isn't really something that is a detriment to the player.

While I am a huge Mitchell fan I don't think he will ever hit .300 and have a 1.000 OPS in a season. He strikes out too much to do that. If he could cut down on the K's he could be like Grady Sizemore. So something like .260/.350/.470 would be a more realistic best case scenario for Mitchell if he could get his K% to be around 20%.

I don't believe the Bears are going to keep this pick. I would put this at a very high possibility that the Bears trade out of the #10 pick. From the rumors I have seen they are going to address the OL through FA and they may trade the pick for more picks or for Myles Garrett. The Bears keep on getting thrown out there as one of the more likely destination for him. Though the price may get to high for the Bears liking as it looks like the Bills and Eagles are willing to give up a lot to get him. The Browns are also reluctant to trade him and haven't had any conversations with any team on a possible trade. Still I think the Bears trade out of #10 to try and get a few more picks in the second or third round.

Jordan and Olajuwon though they may have faced each other if Jordan didn't retire and try baseball.

I am now allergic to raw bananas. Cooked or frozen I am fine but if I eat a raw banana I almost go into anaphylactic shock. Mostly just difficulty in breathing and dizziness. But it goes away after a few minutes. So not full on but close enough. This sucks because I love raw bananas in my cereal.

2024 - 25 Wisconsin Basketball Thread

Izzo doesn’t get enough respect IMHO. Especially from the media when coach K and others were coaching. By far my favorite coach in all of college sports. -
NVIDIA maybe in some trouble at least on the consumer side. Their 5090 and 5080 consumer card are selling out but there may be some recalls coming for these cards. Their card is basically melting the power connector and there also seems to be some missing rops in the 5090 and 5070 TI series of cards. The melting of the power connector is the more serious issue as there is no fix for this at this time. The problem stems from the power connector that NVIDIA chose for its new cards starting with the 4000 series. The previous 4090 generation had this problem early on with third party connectors and user error. This time around it is neither and it is the power connector itself that is failing. Shouldn’t impact NVIDIA that much but will probably have an impact on the stock price at some point if they need to do a full recall.

I liked the ones I bought from WeatherTech for my last vehicle unfortunately they don’t have any for my current vehicle. It was more of a sheet for the back seats but that is what I needed for my dog.

2018 the plan was to sign Darvish and Cain. The Darvish part didn’t work out as he chose the Cubs over the Brewers. The Brewers offer to Darvish was really close so much so that Darvish chose the Cubs over the Brewers because he thought the Cubs were closer to winning than the Brewers were. Going into the 2018 season he was accurate in this assessment. In 2019 they went out and signed Grandal. After losing Prince Fielder they went out and signed Aramis Ramirez when they probably should have started the rebuild. 2016 and 2017 really were the only lean years recently. The Brewers market can only sustain being above $120mm for so long. Unless the population increases along with the average household income increasing I don’t see how the Brewers could possibly increase their player salaries. They could cut a lot from the minors but then you really need to hit on every single FA signing to be successful. Market wise the Brewers really should be considered to be moved or they would need to be sold to a billionaire who wants to just throw money away every year.

That 2nd round pick will probably be in the middle of the 2nd round and that will be their only pick in the '25 draft. So adding more young talent to the team doesn't look all that possible without a major trade of either Dame or Giannis or both. It better be a center because the Bucks have no one next year at center other than moving Giannis there.
