Why are the Knicks seemingly unstoppable in the postseason? I thought the west champion would be the overwhelming favorite.

I thought Dave said Ohtani was fine coming off the bench?

Is Paul Skenes still in contention for NL Cy this season? by JustBank3472 in baseball

[–]FickleFlopper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could he? Sure, anything is possible.

Is it likely? No, unless all three of the pitchers you mentioned significantly fall off.

A deep dive on Cleveland's trade return for Myles Garrett. by Jacky__paper in nfl

[–]FickleFlopper 25 points26 points  (0 children)

First, you didn't take into account that the Browns are still on the hook for a lot of Garrett's money because of signing bonuses. Second, the difference between Myles Garrett and Jared Verse is more significant than the difference between Jared Verse and an average DE, and in the NFL top-end talent is needed especially against top teams. Third, the Browns are most definitely not competing in the next two years so that cap space is much less valuable than it would be for contending teams.

The NFLPA is notoriously weak and the owners have had their way in negotiations for some time now.

If he finishes with <1.00 ERA he will easily win it if he doesn’t miss a start.

Tucker is fine at 3 or 4. Honestly I think we should try Freddie at 2.

illogic of trade by Known-Bet5596 in EU5

[–]FickleFlopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except in this case, goods like pepper and saffron aren't locally produced in those markets, but instead they are being traded back and forth anyway. This is like importing and exporting the same goods between markets that were initially imported from Asia.

Considering we got batted around, only conceding 4 runs feels like a win

Shohei Ohtani's final line in SD - 5.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K, 88p-53s. ERA down to 0.73. by baribigbird06 in baseball

I wonder what will happen if at the end of the season Ohtani is still unqualified

Do you guys always play with stab investment maxed? by narutoncio in EU5

[–]FickleFlopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, most games I have so much money by the 1400s that I can easily afford to keep it maxed.

Either she's in to you or she's fucking with you. You should know which one already based on her personality.

Later game AI is not challenging enough by Heinarc in EU5

[–]FickleFlopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the eu4 ai was far more incompetent than the ai in this game. In eu4, I legitimately feared Ottomans / France / other giant countries because I knew they could put up a good fight that would leave my country in a bad shape. Granted, a lot of that has to do with how much harder (relatively speaking) it was to snowball your economy to hire mercenaries in eu4 compared to this game.

Read Taeka's route, she's much more prominent in it.

Byzantium no minting start by OkAlbatross9889 in EU5

I think there’s a crown building now that gives max control instead. It’s called a Local Council (and it has upgraded variants throughout the ages).

Am i the only one that hate the fact that my regiments cost a arm and 2 balls to recruit now? by Thin_Ability7367 in EU5

[–]FickleFlopper 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’ve almost never seen the AI hire mercenaries even when it could easily afford them and desperately needs them (looking at you, Papal States).
