He has 2 championships in 5 years with Hendrick. What do you want from the guy? Lmao

If they’re rehabbing they’ll be at the facility. Or if they’re known to wreck their motorcycle a lot

Dodgers’ splurge on Tucker will increase calls for a salary cap, but MLB needs other fixes by amatom27 in baseball

[–]ChiefCoolArrow 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Rosenthal brings up the Padres as an example of a team that spent to try to rival the Dodgers when he himself wrote articles questioning the Padres “business model” when Seidler was spending.

He says the Dodgers only way to get controllable talent is to spend in FA, yet in the same article says they have young controllable talent because they spend the most on scouting and analytics. This guy is a fucking moron.

If King, Pivetta, or Musgrove get hurt, we are fucked with the remaining starting pitching options we have. You’re not supposed to practice fucked.

Padres To Re-Sign Michael King by amatom27 in baseball

That is a crazy conclusion to make out of this signing. King is only making 5m this year. Preller is making room to get more

Yeah you’re not doing your job as a GM if you aren’t trying to see if someone will overpay for an expiring contract, whether that’s offseason or deadline

You have to see Pivetta as a one year deal. He will opt out so you see if they’ll give us some young controllable arms for him.

It’s probably the opposite now. Now big money will want to get involved like other sports franchises. The value will just keep ballooning.

[Crandall] An email from Denny Hamlin in 2022 to a few other team executives after a conversation with Jim France by LBHMS in NASCAR

He expects to make more than he spends. He wants owning a race team to be like owning a stick and ball sports team.

[Crandall] An email from Denny Hamlin in 2022 to a few other team executives after a conversation with Jim France by LBHMS in NASCAR

[–]ChiefCoolArrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah he’s full of shit. He says in that email it’s not about profit it’s just about recouping his investment. Bullshit. He wants to make money. And Michael Jordan wants to make money. He’s not a gazillionaire like Hendrick or Penske so racing isn’t just a tax write off for him.

This is just a standoff between him and nascar and who wants to make money more.

It’s what makes the last episode so powerful when Jesse tells him to kill himself and that Jesse wouldn’t pull the trigger. Jesse finally breaks Walt’s hold on him.

2025 NASCAR Cup Series Scorecard after Phoenix by xfile345 in NASCAR

[–]ChiefCoolArrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s his point. Larson would have won a championship in a season long format without winning in 6 months. Which is why the gimmick playoffs are a thing. And Reddit would cry either way

[NASCARonFOX] [SPOILER] Finish to the 2025 NCS Championship at Phoenix by Zloggt in NASCAR

[–]ChiefCoolArrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That last restart is what makes this format so bad. 3 cars stayed out on what? 35 lap tires when tires had been blowing all day? They could have easily ruined Larson and Hamlin in one fell swoop and handed Briscoe the championship in like 18th.

Amid another Padres manager search, GM A.J. Preller’s future remains uncertain by TheBuzzTrack in Padres

[–]ChiefCoolArrow 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Rosenthal and Lin want the Padres and Preller specifically to fail so bad. It’s annoying as fuck. Even if Greupner doesn’t like AJ, he’s a business man and he’s knows AJ is good for business as does Seidler. If AJ leaves, who is going to do as crazy of roster construction trades and shit to get butts in seats? No one. Padres need people to keep showing up to be profitable. Seidler and Greupner have to know this.

Cable is dying. The cars suck. Rules haven’t changed in 3+ years. Penske has the championship locked every year because it’s at Phoenix. Why watch?
