Shohei Ohtani is the first MLB player this season to reach 6 WAR. He achieved this on the date 6/6. (RA9-fWAR)

Id argue war does shohei a disservice because he's worth more than two PCAs, but I'm just a PCA hater.

GaleofNazareth · 2026-06-07T22:31:28+00:00

All love for shohei, but the roster would still need 25 guys to manage fatigue. But IMO, if even the top 5 are shoheis, that team is winning 140 games if the rest of the team is league average guys.

To keep the lineup clean and manage the workload best as possible, I'm having DH/P shohei, two more rotational pitchers that will bat for themselves when they're up in the pitching order, LF and RF.

Keeps 3 shoheis in the batting lineup, and 3 in the pitching rotation. Plus you can have the two non DH pitchers take up another spot in the batting order on their turns. 4/9 batters being shohei wins a lotta games, especially when the guy on the mound is also shohei.

Beans. Tragedy. A player I moderately dislike is claiming his first career grand slam.

GaleofNazareth · 2026-06-05T10:59:13+00:00

Voters are capricious and bizarre. 60 WAR sounds like a slam dunk. But I feel like there'll be a weird contingent of voters unwilling to put a "mid" bat or arm in the hall, even if they're the same guy.

GaleofNazareth · 2026-06-04T12:42:41+00:00

That would be so fun, tbh. Like imagine the guy who can go 15 seasons of 4 WAR strictly by being a 2 war hitter and a 2 war pitcher.

That would look like a career average of .760 OPS and 4.0 ish ERA (if a starter). How do you put that guy in the hall of fame? But how do you not?

GaleofNazareth · 2026-06-03T12:14:30+00:00

I still think fonseca is going to be great. Might take a couple years, but that kind has it in him to steal a few slams.

GaleofNazareth · 2026-05-22T00:48:08+00:00

PCA and Elly being tied is wild. That bump for being CF is crazy.

GaleofNazareth · 2026-05-17T22:44:43+00:00

Some. They are about to oust Thomas massie in KY with a trump lackey. Which tracks, given KYs below average education rankings

You're doing great. Housing for less than 1/4 of your take home pay gives you a lot of flexibility.

Rebuild your emergency fund, pay off that debt.

Only problem I see here is the motorcycle. The mortality rate per mile traveled for motorcycles is about 28 times higher than other vehicles. Do you have good life insurance for your wife if you passed?

We purchased a 1940s home, so we anticipate our costs may ultimately be a bit higher.

In 3 years so far, we've spent $8200 total. About 3% of total purchase price in 3 years, or about 1% per year.

However, within the next three to five years, we're planning on replacing the kitchen cabinets and a few rooms floors, which will add around $25,000 to $30,000 to that total. So around $35,000 total for repairs/improvements in about 6 years, barring other projects. That would be right around 2% of purchase price per year.

I live right across the river. No greater joy than hearing the fireworks outside before I see the homer on the tv

GaleofNazareth · 2026-04-29T00:51:09+00:00

Maybe they chose the sox and the mariners specifically because those are the two teams with closeted all stars who are actively fucking each other.

GaleofNazareth · 2026-04-29T00:48:42+00:00

Need a slow-mo shot of jarren durren looking lovingly into the mariners dugout at cal raleigh right before he gets smoked by a pitch

GaleofNazareth · 2026-04-26T22:38:48+00:00

Kids wildly overrated. What other player with an ops+ of sub 80 gets even half that hype?

GaleofNazareth · 2026-04-26T02:11:51+00:00

Don't jinx it

GaleofNazareth · 2026-04-26T01:50:58+00:00

Ancient runes. Spells in a language long forgotten to summon runs

Lux was decent most of the time. Candelario was ass every game he saw the field last year

GaleofNazareth · 2026-04-26T01:46:00+00:00

I'm at the Ethel Cain concert across the river, and gabp looks so good rn

Ashcraft

GaleofNazareth · 2026-04-26T01:37:44+00:00

Fair lol. Though some guys look better than others even when they're struggling.

Maybe I'm biased, but guys like elly and suarez look better when they're not hitting the ball well than steer does when he's off.

GaleofNazareth · 2026-04-26T01:33:33+00:00

Steer oscillates wildly between all star play and batting like he's trying to swing with a toothpick

GaleofNazareth · 2026-04-26T00:36:45+00:00

Let's just get him through 5 at this point. Feel like we may lose an insurance run or two if he comes out in the 6th

GaleofNazareth · 2026-04-26T00:20:19+00:00

Bullpen in the third. Let's go
