    ...wow

    He's the luckiest guy to ever manage in baseball. Last year he didn't want Willson because...checks notes...he might play too hard for his next contract. If I wanted to criticize Dusty, there's a lot of other places I'd start besides the year he won the World Series. Yeah, but that statement from Dusty was the most Dusty thing I've heard him say...apart from all the whole leaderoff hitter and fishing stuff.

    I'm obviously not as informed as the rest of you but isn't Wrigley particularly brutal on hitters in April? Would it be expected for Mancini to struggle successfully elevating the ball early only to see those balls leave the park later in the season? Yeah, what those charts don't show is the effect of wind and weather, which is more significant at Wrigley than most places, but obviously, in general, the new dimentions are going to help Mancini relative to other players.

    ...that's fucked up

    Is he worth 5/$250 million and two 1st Round picks? Seems to be injury prone the last few years. And with the running he does, I only seem him getting injured more often. You're just hoping the Jets bail out GB from the Rodgers end of career mushroomstravaganza with a flood of picks and other assets

    That's one thing. Another thing is complaining on Twitter when people catch you card counting.

    I'm waiting for a plane and don't have much to do, and I noticed a guy was logged in a few moments ago that I'd never seen before. He only made 4 posts in the semi-recent past, so I just went and checked them out. Warning: amazing hot-takes forthcoming, and not from the guy I didn't recognize. viewtopic.php?f=44&t=1820&p=241177#p241177

    If we really are planning on increasing traffic and attempting to become relevant in some minor way, I'd only suggest that we have an easily-noticable, obviously antagonistic sub forum for Ricketts-bashing-discussions on the reworked site.

    Cool. I guess this means I won't be (tied for) the worst poster here, soon?

    The chess analogy is fair. I like watching/playing chess. But I gravitate towards the slower time controls. Classical is my favorite to watch. And I even play correspondence when I can. To TT's point, I don't debate that there isn't enough time to do that between pitches. But it isn't always enough time to do it leisurely. Maybe when my kids get older and I have fewer distractions... But for now, it still feels too short to me. As I said, I recognize that I'm a minority on this. But since the previous post was just talking about pearl clutching, I thought it was worth pointing out that some people have legitimate views to the contrary on this whole pitch clock thing. It's cool to dig classical chess the most, but it's prety telling that the best chess player of all time is sick of it, and semi-ditching it to focus on blitz/rapid/streaming/drinking.

    I've never really considered myself a Nuggets fan, but the team is hard to not root for with Jokic playing beautiful ball. The best basketball player to come out of my high school is Reggie Jackson, and the Nuggets recently signed him to be the backup PG for Murray. I'm pretty pumped about the playoffs this year.

    I was actually looking for that when this topic came up, I enjoyed the first several episodes when Southpaw19 did but dropped off after a while. I couldn't find them when I looked the other day https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-northside-baseball-podcast/id1604412042

    Have we all forgotten the NSBB podcast so quickly?!

    Toney first catch props are the best bet on the board, which are around 15-1 on Draftkings. If he's inactive, the bet is void. I'm going to put a small bet on that one.

    If you really believe that, check out some of the lines. Via Fanduel: Boston +280 Milwaukee +400 Phoenix +460 Denver +700 Other books have the Bucks and Suns essentially switched, but neither are especially close to Boston.

    I'm still steaming. What was the bet you had? It was complicated. It was a playoff-best-ball contest on Underdog. My team advanced to the finals, but without the Bengals in the Super Bowl, I've got no shot at the 200K first prize. If the Bengals had won, my team would have been one of the favorites to win it.

    If the Bengals can win this somehow, I'd be VERY live to win a large amount of money in two weeks. Fingers double crossed.

    Feel any better now?

    I would consider Davanta over Kirk for anti-correlation reasons. I know you are considering what WR will be available for the final week, but you have to get there first. In the final week, because you are going to be lower on talent, you will probably switch to wanting correlation and Purdy (with Aiyuk) might be your only option at QB. It's close either way. But I'd definitely play Walker over Harris.
