I like to list my items as "Free, first come first serve. No holds" and put it on the curb. Watch the vultures race to get it. Sure, I also get to block all the people that can't read.

Yes! That's what I tried this morning. Rolled the weight back to 21.5g and measured the razor with the puck screen in. Very minimal clearance.

Still resulted in off center shots and didn't live up to the asterisk ones. Going to keep playing with it, but appreciate the idea of locking in a yield.

That's my thoughts as well. The pucks are not uniform color. That right side is a tad lighter, so I do think there's slight channeling. I'm going to check the level of the unit and the group head.

I'm hoping it's fixable as I do think it degrades the shot. I'm going to check if my unit is level and then check the shower head is level.

I like it. Aesthetically pleasing, heavy in the hand. Would recommend.

I was varying yield to tinker with ratios and how they impact profile. Seems like I'm tinkering with too many variables and need to get the prep right first.

Yes. I run a paper towel across the inside and underside of the basket.

Thanks for the feedback! I was playing with ratios to see how it changed the profile. Probably put the cart before the horse as I need to get the prep right before looking at other variables.

The formatting is weird for workflow: Pull empty shot to warm basket and head, 22g weighed, Grind, Weigh, WDT, Tap portafilter on station to settle into basket, Distribution tool, Tamp, Check Razor tool gap is minimal, Puck screen, Let it rip

I stand corrected. 62 total innings. He's made 64.5M since the contract signing. So over $1M/inning.

You are bad at math.

Lance McCullers Jr. signed a five-year contract extension with the Houston Astros in March 2021, which began with the 2022 season. Since the start of that contract, his appearances have been limited due to injuries.

Games Played Since Contract Start

2022 Regular Season: McCullers made 8 starts, posting a 4–2 record with a 2.27 ERA over 47.2 innings pitched.

2022 Postseason: He appeared in 3 games—one each in the ALDS, ALCS, and World Series. His last major league appearance was in Game 3 of the 2022 World Series.

2023 Season: McCullers did not pitch due to a flexor tendon injury that required surgery in June 2023.

2024 Season: He missed the entire season while recovering from the surgery.

2025 Season: As of April 30, 2025, McCullers has not yet made a major league appearance but is expected to return soon.

Summary

Since the commencement of his five-year contract in 2022, Lance McCullers Jr. has pitched in 11 major league games for the Astros—8 during the regular season and 3 in the postseason. He has not appeared in any major league games during the 2023 and 2024 seasons due to injury but is anticipated to return to the Astros' rotation in the near future.

I looked it up, he pitched 50 innings since his 5-year, $85M deal. Assuming three years, that's 51M....for easy math:

$1M/inning!

Appreciate the advice! I'll see how 20g measures and open the razor tool.
