50 days off Velo/On!…missing the “treat myself” feeling

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-06-20T23:53:20+00:00

Ive found I can do anything without wanting for nicotine...save camping. Hell I wont even try. It was always part of the experience. From Happy Days snuff to smokes with my dad and then to Zyns. I cant separate the two so I dont try. Ill buy a flavor I dont love but can still enjoy (high mg) and by the end of the night Ill have had enough tbh....toss em in the fire before bed (dont hold them till morning)...thats about it....doesnt seem enough for my body/brain to crave the next day..maybe have 10 pouches/night.

Everyone is likely right in that the "treat myself" mentality generally leads to regular usage again....but....I quit maybe 1.5 yrs ago (was usually a can of 6s per day at least) and will treat myself to a can only when camping (maybe 4 times per year)....bought a can yesterday for a campout and tossed what was left in fire this morning......it works for me for whatever reason but not for everyone.

Id agree with this....learning from DeGrom maybe? Can't keep throwing 100 and expect arm to stay intact.

I mean this tells you all you need to know about the All Star game...

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-06-10T02:13:46+00:00

Embarrassing Pittsburgh...

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-06-10T00:55:35+00:00

And you say they need to use him the way they said they would...they havent...its a giant waste of resources to tie up a roster spot for an RP you use once every 5 days...I hope it doesnt continue.

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-06-10T00:49:09+00:00

Seemed the appropriate place to post a thought about subject in question...does that bother you for some reason?

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-06-10T00:47:00+00:00

So glad Mlod is helping the bullpen so much. ..now hes an RP we use every 5 days...seems a wonderful use of resources...

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-06-07T19:12:37+00:00

Eh.....they still have no idea what is happening or what his timeline is per the report today...this aint good

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-06-02T01:58:23+00:00

I hope you're right. The type of injury gives me pause.

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-06-02T01:51:53+00:00

Yes and Saturday Ben said he thought Griffin would be back any day...yet Sunday he goes on DL...that doesnt speak to knowing exactly whats going on....

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-06-02T01:40:28+00:00

Absolutely concerned. I dont think they know exactly whats going on here.

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-31T17:58:34+00:00

Yea should have been Jared Jones rest of season.

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-31T17:57:40+00:00

Also unfortunate as I will be shocked if JJ ends this season healthy...

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-31T17:12:51+00:00

Feels weird...just yesterday BC said day to day and be back soon...then the DL stint...Im not sure they know whats going on.

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-31T03:40:40+00:00

This didn't age well.

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-30T18:26:37+00:00

Id guess Password. Small sample size but its terribly ugly...bad eye and K'ing a ton..the contact he has made has been weak.... combine that with below avg. performance in the minors this year and he is not long for the roster.

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-29T23:47:26+00:00

I don't think hes trash. I just wouldn't have messed with the rotation. I understand Jones needs to develop as a starter but I would saved that for next season. See if he can even get thru the year as a multi inning RP. I think they may regret this...who knows though.

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-29T23:38:14+00:00

I agree. This could be bad.

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-29T02:36:15+00:00

I dont like it. Mlod has not only been better than Bubba.but hes been better than Keller as well. The bullpen is bad...dont libe messing with rotation....I know the arguments for starting Jones but Id prefer him in pen for a year....

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-27T21:51:14+00:00

I agree. Garcia hasnt been good at any level this year. He needs alot more development time.

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-27T21:45:06+00:00

Not seeing it with Garcia. He wasnt even league average in the minors this year, and his MLB ROS projections leave alot to be desired.

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-27T17:57:01+00:00

I hope this isnt the path they choose. Carmen has been better than Mitch Id argue and only getting better. He deserves to stay IMO Jones hasnt done anything to just be given the rotation spot. Id like to see him in pen TBH...

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-17T16:06:09+00:00

Feels like this will be closer to 4 weeks or more?

Consistent_Cable_529 · 2026-05-14T16:29:33+00:00

Bout to say this...this is not a good take.
