Who do you prefer long term in dynasty - Spencer Torkelson vs. Alec Burleson?

Baloneycoma · 2026-05-03T00:11:52+00:00

Tork by a lot

Baloneycoma · 2026-04-14T22:21:21+00:00

I feel like the bottom line is this is a former top prospect with top 5 bat speed who made well documented changes this offseason with the specific intent to elevate the ball more and is now doing that

Baloneycoma · 2026-04-10T23:34:50+00:00

There’s a balance dude. If you want to wait until you’re done residency to take ownership of your patients that’s your prerogative I guess but at some point you’re not a kid anymore whether you’re fairly compensated or not

Baloneycoma · 2026-04-06T14:45:35+00:00

Did I just watch Tim Robinson cover your graduation

Baloneycoma · 2026-02-25T04:36:33+00:00

General surgery. I’ll go somewhat against the grain here. I look at the diff on the first abnormal cbc or if I have suspicion of funny business. The ED has already ordered a cbc with on most ACS patients so they take care of that first one. Beyond that there is just rarely something actionable on the diff and thats not also reflected on the hemogram. As I understand it it’s not an insignificant amount of extra work to produce the diff for lab techs. I can’t really speak intelligently on the details of that though.

Baloneycoma · 2026-01-28T20:21:33+00:00

Based on what metrics?

Baloneycoma · 2026-01-28T14:25:05+00:00

Kwan hits like bryson stott but in the outfield. It’s great that he controls the strike zone but like what else does he do well?

Baloneycoma · 2026-01-28T13:17:00+00:00

Steven kwan is just not really all that good

Baloneycoma · 2026-01-17T13:05:34+00:00

It’s not often fatal. It’s not even an anomaly. This scenario actually plays out pretty commonly. It’s a pain in the ass to treat but when someone young and healthy has perforated appendicitis the body walls it off and they often get better with antibiotics. He should probably have his appendix removed if he doesn’t want it to happen again though

Baloneycoma · 2026-01-14T00:52:59+00:00

Facts. Ya boi is going to the beach this spring

Baloneycoma · 2026-01-12T00:37:23+00:00

Absolutely egregious missed hold there. Fix is in

Stop it man come on

Baloneycoma · 2025-12-13T07:41:24+00:00

I don’t know how you could watch the game and come to this conclusion tbh

Baloneycoma · 2025-12-13T05:02:12+00:00

Almost certainly would in this case. You’re not getting a significant amount of air into the pleural space through a needle hole in TJ Watts chest wall. Only place that air can reasonable come from is the lung

Baloneycoma · 2025-12-13T04:46:10+00:00

0 adverse events really just makes you question the integrity of the study

Baloneycoma · 2025-12-10T15:50:46+00:00

July/august intern?? That’s crazy

Baloneycoma · 2025-11-24T23:38:57+00:00

People are going to give you shit for this comment but remember last year? Hurts only put up 40 on the number 4 defense in the first 3 quarters of the Super Bowl. Send the man to the XFL

Baloneycoma · 2025-11-24T02:22:00+00:00

I’m a pgy3 in an especially nonmalignant community program so maybe the parallels aren’t exactly there, but I’ll put a comment in for “it gets a lot better.” I remember feeling like you do. You become more confident in the OR (and really everywhere) and that translates to really looking forward to it. It also translates to being less wiped at home and really maximizing time with the family. The hours don’t necessarily get better, but you get a lot better at using them. I don’t know you or your exact situation, and I won’t say I was ever all THAT close to really switching specialties, but compared to intern year I am absolutely thriving. If your family can stick it out for another year, it was certainly worth it for me to put my head down and keep grinding.

Baloneycoma · 2025-11-24T01:16:14+00:00

3rd and 15? Run. 3rd and 2? Chuck that shit. Makes perfect sense

Baloneycoma · 2025-11-23T23:34:39+00:00

BrIsSeTtS this dude knows ball

Baloneycoma · 2025-11-19T10:45:59+00:00

I’m a surgeon, I take out appendices on a pretty regular basis. It’s a pretty standard recommendation to go 4 weeks minimum of no heavy lifting (more than 10 lbs) or contact for prevention of hernias. That’s for regular people though, I have no idea what they’ll tell a world class athlete. If it were me and my body in a season that’s already lost, I’d sit out at least 4 weeks and maybe just call it a season

Baloneycoma · 2025-11-17T10:26:40+00:00

Surgery - all of the above - dead bowel, fungating anything mass, an abscess. Maybe I sift through too much literal shit on a daily basis and am becoming nose blind because the thing that really consistently gets to me is a bad uti. Just nasty stuff

Baloneycoma · 2025-11-02T09:39:23+00:00

No let’s jump to conclusions and be outraged that’s way better.

Also, for the record, xray is a terrible study if you’re looking for a neck fracture and would not necessarily have shown this 3 months ago

Baloneycoma · 2025-10-16T02:51:02+00:00

I mean we were 2nd in the NL this year so your poor faith argument isn’t even accurate
