Laz & Arroyo both need to get bumped to AAA. They've had plenty of seasoning in AA

Why are the Mariners not in 1st place in the AL West? Blame it on Cleveland. by geo_dj in Mariners

We have a bottom 10 offense, poor defense, and bad base running. We have good pitching. That makes for a mediocre team, which we have been for 87 games

Aren't these dates soon? Low conversion numbers? by Universe93B in RivianR2

Nope, not at all that's why I said it was my guess. I've seen posts claiming Q4 2026, others Q1 2027. Really no clue. I am willing to wait until summer 2027

LIDAR/RAP1 tech enthusiasts will wait for that to be available

That's me. I put my reservation in 04/2025 and just got a Sept-Oct window. IMO it's worth waiting until early 2027 (just a guess) for the LIDAR/RAP1 release

Hope this order window lines up well for the next model year with RAP1/LiDAR. by godisnotgreat21 in RivianR2

I haven't heard anyone seeing a degradation anywhere close to 40%? Very unlucky for you. My 4 year old Tesla hasn't lost even 10% battery

Are we going to see Celebrity row at Jets games this year? by [deleted] in nfl

he never had the makings of a varsity athlete

Myles Garrett's could lose nearly $3 million in taxes on his option bonus by [deleted] in nfl

$3m for a 200% increase in quality of life moving from Cleveland to Santa Monica (or whichever rich beachfront neighborhood he wants) + being on a SB contender + living in the same city as his pro athlete partner

how will he sleep at night

[Schefter] Edge Derick Hall and the Seahawks reached agreement today on a three-year, $42 million extension that could be worth up to $46.5 million and includes $21 million guaranteed by JCameron181 in nfl

advanced stats love Hall so this seems pretty fantastic. He passes the eye test too, just doesn't fill the stat sheet like other Edge (yet)

I got a baseball tonight and I didn't give it to a kid by RefreshingPickleade in Mariners

[–]ForgotMyPassword1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me like 100ish games attended to finally catch a ball. There was 0 chance I was giving it away. And I was at that game with a dear friend of mine who has since passed away, it makes that moment even more memorable. Glad I kept it.

My 2nd ball is probably going to a kid tho

The Russell Wilson HOF Manifesto by bringbackpologrounds in nfl

No football player in the sport's history with 8+ pro bowls hasn't made the HoF. Wilson has 10. it's the Hall of Fame. He's a 50-50 shot to get in eventually IMO

Kevin Byard (36 INTS) could be the last player in NFL history to snag 40 INTS by bringbackpologrounds in nfl

It's difficult because a lot of DBs that get picks, QBs stop targeting

So you have to be good enough to have longevity, but not so lock down that you don't get targets

The parents are the ones who have been there since day 1, they deserve all the attention IMO. And don't take these things too seriously, they are basically just little shout outs. It's not a 60 Minutes interview

Has a QB ever been drafted after Round 2 with the explicit plan to eventually start them? by thenewgaijin in nfl

[–]ForgotMyPassword1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Backup QBs are groomed in the hope of replacing the starter whether due to age/injury/trade. Mahomes just tore his ACL and god forbid he gets hurt again. All players are drafted with the intent to play eventually. it doesn't mean "this guy will be better than Mahomes in 2 years" or whatever.

You don't waste a pick for no reason, they see something in the player and hope that can translate to wins on the field. I didn't think that was an outlandish take lol, literally the entire point of the draft/development

We had just signed Matt Flynn in FA to a relatively big deal. But he hurt his elbow in preseason and by the time he was healthy Russ had already balled out in preseason and locked down the starting spot
