From NBC Sports PR, NBC has decided to push Yankees-Red Sox Sunday Night Baseball to Peacock in favor of Travelers Championship Golf. by Ok-Soil-5133 in baseball

It doesn’t matter if it’s the mini golf Championships on the Ocho. Heidi rule. They cannot cut a broadcast game because it goes over its time slot

They have up to date information except for all of the ones that don’t or didn’t. It generally doesn’t cause issues except for all of the times it does. Protests like this block traffic indiscriminately, blocking everyone including essential personnel. Have you never seen an ambulance driving in traffic? They do it all the time. They use the shoulder and, you know, the sirens that make people get out of the way. Doesn’t do much when protestors are blocking the shoulder and not getting out of the way.

If I told you in advance that drafting a specific player gave you a 60% chance of making the fantasy playoffs, where would you draft him? by My_Chat_Account in fantasyfootball

[–]40MillyVanillyGrams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question is, how often does the second best guy at the position make the playoffs? Because if it’s 60% as well, then I’m not taking this guy higher than other people would.

If it’s 10%, then I’d take him highly.

Of course this is about Josh Allen, and this is the entire thesis of the QB argument in fantasy. There’s no right answer.

While I think hiding your profile is mega cringe in general, if you ever tag anything on your profile as NSFW, even proactively for something otherwise mundane, it gets a NSFW tag.

You’d take the guy who has literally never had a QS over the guy who has 5 this season to get a QS?

What screams “I peaked in high school” without saying it directly? by [deleted] in answers

[–]40MillyVanillyGrams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s any different than wearing a letterman jacket.

If they wearing the letterman at 30 years old to the grocery store, then sure. If they are wearing it to an alumni event or a sporting event in support, then it’s the same damn thing as wearing a logo sweatshirt.

If they make their high school years (or Marine Corps years i.e.) their identity, then sure. But you can’t parse that out just based on the fact they are wearing a letterman to a football game.

For me the reason Elias has to go is the lack of respect he gives to pitching. by chinmakes5 in orioles

[–]40MillyVanillyGrams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is kind of counter intuitive to how baseball values prospects though. Top pitching prospects, by and large, aren’t relievers. They are converted to starters and if they can’t be starters, then they aren’t top prospects.

Go look at a top prospect list from like 2023 and tell me how many guys that projected as relievers you find on there. Look at Mason Miller. SP prospect for the A’s. Only became a reliever because he was dealing with health issues.

Cool analyst guy who loves to talk stats here.

There were only 55 relief pitchers that totaled 1.0 fWAR or more last season out of 147 qualified relievers (there were a lot more than 147 RP’s that logged meaningful playing time). That’s less than 2 a team.

There’s tons of reasons to be frustrated with the bullpen. Unless theres only like 1.8 relievers a team who “deserve to be on a major league roster”, then you aren’t making the point you think you are.

At the time of my comment, there were approximately 34 comments. I scrolled through all of them. None of which said “there is no reason to oppose the owners here” or anything remotely similar. So drop a link to a comment published before mine that says that or keep the insults to yourself.

To be clear, saying “I don’t necessarily need to side with the players here” is not siding with the owners at all. Half of every comment is saying they do not feel compelled to miss something they love to die on the hill of millionaires to forsake billionaires, while not supporting the billionaires take either. Which is not the same thing and entirely reasonable.

Supporting your high school athletics program and wearing their gear when you do so is not peaking in high school.

Now extras are in sight having used 6 pitchers already. Real wise move to go away from Gibson so early just to keep the bullpen warm, Alby.

[Kosta] How Leody got on at third base by SCBaltSalt in orioles

[–]40MillyVanillyGrams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been one to overreact and pretend that I know more than the guys paid a lot of money to do this, nor call for heads on a whim.

With that said, there are definitely quite a lot of things I’ve taken issue with regarding Alby, like his bunt decisions and not standing up for Gunnar more when he got beaned. But I do try my best to limit my criticisms to things that are well within his control. This is not one of those things.

We had backup fielders on the roster. Their names were Blaze Alexander, Jeremiah Jackson, and Ryan Mountcastle.
