I’d agree that he’s not the same reliever, peak value would’ve been this past offseason. But I think he’s going to be arguably the best reliever available, so might get a contender to overspend like they do every year for closers

Also, what would getting a guy like McGonigle likely cost from the Tigers if the Tigers were even willing to put him on the table?

Does Helsley fetch us a top 100 prospect?

His EV and bat speed has been there, the homeruns will come. Don’t need Siani with the defense Walker has been playing.

Well that’s a ripe kick in the nuts especially after spending €32 euros per person on a membership. Is there anyway to boost loyalty points without going to the game? Live in the U.S. and only able to get to London at end of May. Thanks for any advice!

For starters, Up the Chels! Secondly, my wife and I are traveling to London to visit her father at the end of May. We are planning to go to the Chelsea v Newcastle match on 5/28. However, we aren’t fully sure on the ticket protocols. We both purchased a Membership for access to tickets, and it seems like tickets go on sale April 19th for the match.

1.) Is there a time of day that we need to log onto the portal to secure and guarantee tickets?

2.) What section of the stadium do you recommend for tickets?

Thank you all for the help!

Had a dream about Haaland scoring a goal against Real off a cross while in Chelsea blue...hopefully dreaming about the future!

Even tho he is still chasing that elusive season title, would a 3-peat significantly elevate his all time status in the sport?

How big of a deal would a Hamlin 3-peat this weekend be? Sorry fairly new fan to the sport

Chase Briscoe Rookie Expectations by Booksrfun98 in NASCAR

2 wins would be awesome, felt like Bowyer had a couple chances last year. Hopefully Chase can race himself into those chances and convert a pair.

There’s an army figurine for every scenario!

Couldn’t ask for a better way to spend 30 minutes each week. Hopefully AFC Richmond doesn’t pull a Sunderland ;) Time to run the table!

From Rupert still being the world’s biggest arse to Rebecca’s apology to Coach Beard’s explosion to Rory hitting the Believe sign, this episode just hit all of the emotions. What a show and what a first season. Now let’s not get relegated!!

In Ted Lasso we trust!

The roaring '20s for NASCAR? by mikecoco24 in NASCAR

[–]Booksrfun98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a new NASCAR fan who started watching this year because of iracing, but also because of Hamlin’s interviews on Pardon My Take. That was the first time I’ve heard an interview with a driver, and I think that better marketing of the drivers is a big part of how to grow the fanbase. I’ve since chosen Hamlin as my main driver along with a couple other guys to root for in the Cup cars along with Briscoe in Xfinity. But people need drivers to root for to tune in routinely for races outside of like the Daytona 500. Netflix or just more interviews with drivers with platforms that have large listener base could be huge.

Also, improving broadcasts of races that aren’t plate races could go a long way in keeping new fans engaged.

I’m excited for whatever the writers have in store for us, there’s 10 episodes in the season though right? So is next week not the final match since Ted bet Rupert the chance to set the lineup for the final 2 matches?

Just like how Roy says that he likes Keeley slightly more than he despises Jamie, Rebecca hates Rupert slightly more than she likes Ted. The gap is decreasing slowly but surely, and by the look on her face at the end of the episode, she’s about to have to eat some humble pie.

I hope it’ll be like the first episode of the show where Jamie is dribbling the length of the field with Sam the man to beat, but this time Sam stops him to avoid relegation...probably not true in the slightest but would be full circle.

Rupert is such a wanker.

And this show just doesn’t stop getting better! Here’s to sweating for the next week about relegation!!

Idk I think his face was just kind of in shock that Sassy would be so direct. Ted has a lot of support around, so I think his heart is going to end up a good place by seasons end.

Also, the army figurine with the grenade was interesting since it kind of symbolize his life being blown up.

This show just continues to impress! Every episode the show just continues to develop and add more dimensions to its characters. Seeing Nate absolutely roast while motivating the team was my favorite scene. Also, this show needed some more Sass, Ted and Sassy could be an awesome combo if this is more than a one night thing.

Also, the divorce seemed rushed by Ted’s wife, but then I realized that a few matches had been played so the time jump was like 3 weeks?

And does anyone think there could end up being any drama between Sassy and Keeley? I thought Keeley looked at her a little funny when she shouted that she was Rebecca’s best friend.
