Brewers acquire Daniel Norris from Tigers
MrTPlush replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Fangraphs had him as our #6 guy. Like so many others, Olson had a pretty substantial velocity spike during the gap year and has seen his fastball velo band go from the 91-95 range to 93-97. That extra velocity complements an already deep coffer of secondary pitches, which are so good that scouts disagree as to which is the best. His two-plane, 85-87 mph slider and power changeup, which rests in about the same velo range, are both plus pitches while Olson’s upper-70s curveball is merely above-average. I still have some trepidation regarding Olson’s delivery. He’s a stiff-legged, tightly-wound athlete with more mechanical violence than is typical for a starter, but even if those visual biases turn out to be meaningful, we’re talking about a high-leverage and/or multi-inning relief piece here based on how his stuff looks right now. Were the 21-year-old Olson at a Big 10 or ACC school, he’d be in the mid-to-late first round mix. -

Except Pomeranz sucked as a starter and then improved when he went to the pen. Norris sucked in the bullpen and we are...keeping him in the bullpen. -
There can't possibly be a way paying for a resume writing service will be superior to yourself/google/youtube can do for free.

The used car market is approaching levels that don't even make logical sense. I have known multiple people now that have traded in a used vehicle for basically the same thing brand new and the DEALER paid them. The used car was worth more than the new one. Going to trade in the wife's 2017 with 50k miles and bald tires for a new one. Two trim levels up, dozen+ more features, and brand new will cost a couple grand more than hers is worth.

First thing as with any TV, update firmware to make sure you have most current version. Since Bally is so new, that may be why it's not showing up. You shouldn't need to buy another device. If you still don't see it, you have to search for the app- I had to do that on one of my TVs. But I have 2 smart TVs, another with a Firestick, and a fourth with Roku- I can get the Bally app on all of them. You gave me the motivation to do it again. I reset it back to factory settings, set it up again, and then checked for an update in the menu. It finally had Bally Sports on it. So strange.
-
You can download the Bally app on a Roku device. I haven't felt the need to do that, though, as I can just watch the Brewers on the Bally Sports channel on AT&T TV. What are you going to use as your cable provider in order to access the BallySports app? Spectrum, figured I would probably get a Roku stick since I know that has Bally. Fire sticks are suppose to have it too, but of course I would have expected the smart TV version to have it too...but I guess that isn't the case.
-
I went out and bought a smart TV (Fire edition) and kind of figured it would carry the BallySports app since the little Fire sticks appear to have it. So either I am an idiot and can't find the app or it just doesn't have it. Seems hard to believe, but I have looked everywhere and it looks like that app just isn't on the TV to download. That being said what do people use for the little streaming sticks? Fire TV? Roku? They are the same price so I am not sure if either is really that much better. I basically just need one to get BallySports, the TV has YoutubeTV etc.
-
At least with streaming apps there is competition between them all. In many places you have one cable option and that is it. Not as much room for error in the world of streaming services and negotiation tactics.

I had to laugh because they claim it is about protecting users search data or some garbage....RIIIIIIIIGHT.

Roku and Google could not come to an agreement. I was really hoping to get another cheap TCL Roku to use on my patio this summer. “Our commitment is to always put your interests first and therefore we will continue to offer existing users access to YouTube TV unless Google takes actions that require the full removal of the channel. New subscribers will not be allowed at this time. It is also important that you do not delete the YouTube TV channel as it will not be available for download to Roku devices.”

Yah, this is honestly one of the only major things about streaming that bothers me. You just can't hit refresh crazy often on the IGT or just don't allow my dad to come over with his stupid sports app pinging every time someone scores in the game. I don't know how he watches a game on delay and still have his stupid app giving notifications. Regarding ATT TV, are you sure that wouldn't have a delay too? I only ask because it kind of seems like ATT TV is more like a streaming service using internet, so I would think it would have a long delay too. That is how it was with Hulu/YTTV before they dropped RSNs.
-
Would be kind of annoying. I bought one of those cheaper TCLs for this reason because I wouldn't need to waste money on an Apple TV or similar. I think I would just buy a cheap Apple TV to bridge to gap at that point I suppose. Don't think I feel like switching to Hulu as YTTV has a better line up for my tastes. Have you checked out Sling? The single stream limitation for the orange channels would be a deal breaker, unfortunately. From my understanding I would likely run into problems trying to chuck 3 different games up onto three different TVs in my basement. Of course maybe a lot of the NFL carrying channels or march madness channels would be on the 'blue' side of sling. Regular season basketball/football for college would almost surely be a problem though. ...I know...first world problems.

It isn't more expensive or even close in price in most cases. You don't need a special TV...but most smart TVs have streaming apps already on them, thus no need for an external source. Smart TVs are cheap anyway and non smart TVs are increasingly rare. Even if you need an external box (an Apple TV) it would be a one time cost and you can probably get one for under $100. Way better than the cable scam of making you pay $10+ a month to rent a box. People don't pay for multiple TV streaming services. People may have Netflix etc. too, but that is irrelevant. You either have YTTV/Hulu/etc. or cable/dish/etc. People with cable also juggle Netflix/Disney+ if they so choose.

if this is NOT bugging you, I would hate to see what is *casually moves to bugging you post*

I hate anything that requires me to gather quotes or shop around. Trying to find the right mix of quality, customer service, and decent price seems impossible. I contacted a company for a concrete patio install and while they get good reviews the price was in line with including gold flakes in the concrete. Then I need to replace windows and suddenly get 3 calls a day from four different people at the same company to set up an in person quote. Why must it be so complicated?

Tipo 00 is usually the flour people use. Part of it has to do with the glutens or proteins being able to hold up for such a long duration cold proof without "over proofing". It actually is doing something positive to the dough the entire time versus a normal flour that is probably doing more bad than good after 24 hours. Tipo 00 dough can sit in the fridge for a week plus and still be good when you pull it out. Of course when you start messing around cold proofing it is always good to get a pizza app that will calculate the necessary ingredients (like yeast) for the amount of time you are going to have it proofing. For 3+ days the amount of yeast needed is really minimal. I use Tipo 00 for my pizza oven because it holds up way better to 1000 degree temps better than normal flour for Neapolitan style. However, I have done 3-day cold proofs and then cooked in a normal oven on a pizza stone...results are still pretty stellar. I am not a flour expert by any means, so I just use what most tend to gravitate towards. The downside is the price, but I don't make crazy homemade pizza often. Some go the extra mile and get the fancy canned San Marzano tomato's from Italy...I just use my own homemade sauce. https://www.amazon.com/Antimo-Caputo-Chefs-Flour-Pounds/dp/B005HEEFN2/ref=asc_df_B005HEEFN2/?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=&hvpos=&hvnetw=o&hvrand=&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584207577357124&psc=1

If you are going to proof dough in the fridge make sure to get proper flour. It is somewhat pointless to do it with normal flour for longer periods. I am sure it makes a difference, but if you are going through that kind of effort you might as well get a high quality flour and really make a difference in taste/texture. I do 3 day proofs, but you have to have dough meant for that long of proofing. It makes an absolutely incredible flavor though, highly recommend.

Probably haven't gotten a steak at a restaurant since I was a teen. The steaks often aren't great quality for the crazy prices. I am also very technical with how I like it cooked and the seasoning. If I get a pricier item at a restaurant I usually gravitate to things I wouldn't be inclined to make at home. Like at Red Lobster I get this pasta with mussels/scallops/lobster tail in it (not that I have gone to Red Lobster in 5+ years). I am just not going to go buy all that to make myself...or lamb ribs or duck breast.
-
For the same reason you pick up food/drinks/etc. anywhere else....convenience and not needing to spend $50+ for all the supplies. You could cook up your own steak for a fraction of the cost versus what Texas Roadhouse charges (and make it taste way better), but there is a reason the Texas Roadhouse parking lot is always loaded when I drive by. Why pay $3 for a soda from McDonalds when you could almost buy a 12 pack for that at the store? I wouldn't personally buy to-go cocktails, but I could see why someone might...especially if the place make some fancy bloody mary or old fashioned. Heck, people were getting to-go beer from bars at the start of the pandemic. People love convenience. They can get their beer and food in one stop.
-
I thought they could, it just couldn't already be mixed. So it was basically a 'make your own cocktail' kit.

Buy one of those TV dinners...it tastes pretty close even getting the soggy and chewy texture. What TV dinners are you talking about? I see someone said totinos below but I have had their pizza rolls and it's hard to believe it's not garbage. I loved school cafeteria pizza and can still remember the taste but never found anything like it. This is what I was thinking of. It always gave me that giant sheet pizza from school vibe. Not sure if they still make this style anymore as it has been a loooong time since I had one. https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=TdRV3SVo&id=0A4F055A15883AE9661D1090D4C674D9B1090978&thid=OIP.TdRV3SVoSYDW62CdRml1FgHaFR&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fimages.wisegeek.com%2ffrozen-dinner-with-pizza-and-corn.jpg&exph=713&expw=1000&q=frozen+tv+dinner+pizza&simid=608051692827321774&ck=BFBC9B5B0008D68A9B088FABD6684670&selectedIndex=2&FORM=IRPRST&ajaxhist=0 On another note I had Sam's Pizza in Wausau the other day, top notch pizza. Saltine cracker type crust and the toppings (namely the sausage) was stellar...loved the sauce too. Easily the best I have ever had in the area. I should not be surprised though. Any place that looks like it is about to fall down and looks like it is in a dismal part of town always seems to have the best pizza. Wells Brothers in Racine gives the same vibe and has incredible pizza.

I would eat 30 day old school pizza out of a dumpster before I would eat totinos. Totinos is the worst pizza ever.

Isan Diaz was a Top 100 prospect at the time of that trade by at least one outlet (MLB.com) I believe. Baseball America had Monte Harrison in the 70s pre-2018. A lot of those lists get updated in February so at the time of the trade they weren't overly accurate at the time of the trade. They got three really solid prospects and an intriguing pitcher.
