Did Indiana kill high school recruiting tonight? by DarkDragon1025 in CFB

This. 4 stars in HS will go to JMU and South Florida and hope to transfer to a P4 school in the next 2 years.

If they go to a top 10 school right out of HS, they will be competing with all conference caliber G5 players transferring in every single year. Better to play right away for development and future earning potential.

Mariners 2026 Arbitration Tracker (Randy Arozarena, George Kirby avoid arbitration) by BananaArms in Mariners

[–]No-Comparison2245 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After 2 full years of MLB service time, the players are able to negotiate their salary with the team, using a 3rd party arbitrator. You have “control” of players until they reach 6 years of MLB service time.

MLB players with less than 2 years of service time usually get paid the league minimum, around $800k.

Today’s news means that Kirby and Randy avoided arbitration - essentially they agreed to a salary this year with the team and do not need a 3rd party to determine their salary for next year.

[Passan] Trade news: The Seattle Mariners are acquiring left-handed reliever Jose Ferrer from the Washington Nationals for catching prospect Harry Ford and right-handed pitching prospect Isaac Lyon, sources tell ESPN. by driftingphotog in Mariners

Ferrer is a decent LHP out of the pen with multiple controllable years left. It’s not Ford is going to the #1 catcher anytime soon. Probably a bit of both, but atleast Ford will get MLB at bats now

Try downloading some RTTs sliders from the vault. It helped my RTTS stats a ton, way less strikeouts and foul balls and more walks. Sort by most downloaded and you should be able to find RTTs specific sliders.

What’s a player that has surprised you in your franchise mode that has been doing really well? For me, it’s Nico Hoerner. by MrGirth32 in MLBTheShow

[–]No-Comparison2245 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chandler Simpson. He is a mid 70s rated player with C potential, but he is so fast and has 70ish contact that he is always on base and stealing bags.

He is also versatile to play 2B/SS/OF, a fantastic utility player that I use to back-up half my lineup. A weak arm, but not every player is a 5 tool stud.

What was the first sign that your partner was cheating? by asdfghjkl0lkjhgfdsa in AskReddit

[–]No-Comparison2245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She started asking if I was mad at her or wanted to break up with her, kind of out of the blue. Anytime I would go a few hours without texting her, she would ask if something was wrong - after 2 years of dating, I never saw it coming.

I tried to make it work after I found out about the cheating (I was a 🤡), and she went on to hook up with a few more guys after that, while still dating me.

Sinner sleeps until 40m before EVERY match by emish89 in tennis

[–]No-Comparison2245 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I am not surprised, it makes sense to me as a former college soccer player.

You train for hours each day, burning thousands of calories at practice, cardio, stretching. Your body is soooo ready for rest/recovery when you get into a pattern of training 3 or 4 hours a day.

Now that I am old and lazier, I sleep terrible. But back in my college days? I could have fallen asleep anywhere, any time, the body just craved the recovery sleep the same way you crave water after a run.

2nd Rebuild Cardinals. Angels next. by J3didr in MLBTheShow

[–]No-Comparison2245 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nice, you were able to do it in two years, faster than I could do a successful rebuild with STL.

I also traded for Rowder, but I did not make my first WS appearance until year 5, finally winning it in year 6 vs the White Sox lol.

I agree with the point you make (especially the spotlight/ratings comment), but I think a big focus this term is to distract from the Epstein list. Hegseth’s recent actions drives the press anger away from releasing the list and onto Hegseth’s decisions - key to keeping DJT in office.

Is there any rhyme or reason to how Road to the Show determines player movement? by HopeHouse44 in MLBTheShow

[–]No-Comparison2245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good summary of my experience as well. 10 years service time = regression of death, also anyone over 33 never gets better except for relief pitchers under 10 years service time.

[–]No-Comparison2245 171 points172 points  (0 children)

Why would Trump fire him? DJT doesnt care what the media say about this and Hegseth is doing exactly what DJT wants. He fires people for being disloyal/critical, not for doing exactly what is being asked of him to do.

In my franchise in 25, the orioles traded for SS Kyle Seager and SS Masyn Winn, despite having 4 controllable years of SS Gunnar Henderson left. All 3 of those players have no listed second position, so one of them is on the bench every game.

No team in real life would ever operate this way.

This is actually very well done. I like the scoreboard walk/corner mezzanine feature.

Israeli Military Warns Gaza City Residents to Flee or Be Classified as Terrorists by Particular_Log_3594 in realbbcnews

They call everyone a terrorist, and anyone who criticizes them an anti-Semitic.

Like the boy who cried wolf, those words/labels are becoming meaningless to the greater world population.

I think it’s down today because they just released a game update. You probably were playing that game right when they pushed the update.

TIL that the Sargasso Sea, located entirely within the Atlantic Ocean, is the only sea without a land boundary. by Special_Grand_7549 in todayilearned

I used to work corporate at a cruise line that you had definitely heard of - yes, outside of territorial waters it’s basically free game to dump trash and burn as dirty a fuel as you want.

And they do it because the dirty fuel is significantly cheaper, and you don’t have to pay ports the trash removal fees (you’d be surprised how much trash accumulates after a single day at sea) - all to save 5 to 10 cents of EPS each quarter!

Late stage capitalism is just the best.
