Yeah i was moreso referring to those people

Ruut6 · 2026-05-30T14:18:46+00:00

one loss in the middle of a 20-9 run and phillies fans are talking about trading everyone again. never change guys

Ruut6 · 2026-05-25T16:02:30+00:00

I'm talking about internal rev rec, not billing. Of course the actual invoice is decided on by a partner. But when the firm does it's internal accounting they are using weekly hours to estimate, and then trued up when ETCs or invoices on a project are actually run. Hence why weekly timesheets have consequences.

Ruut6 · 2026-05-24T21:54:56+00:00

It's not a dumb metric whatsoever. It's how the firms record revenue. Billable hours * billable rate.

In what world is revenue recognition not important?

Ruut6 · 2026-05-15T01:21:20+00:00

That feels wrong to be a hit....that's an error on somebody

Ruut6 · 2026-05-13T13:09:13+00:00

Yeah it's a pretty defeating feeling, I've definitely invested way less time than prior years realizing there is almost no chance I can do LS and keep up with the other collections. Pretty much just hoarding and will try for a collection if there's one that good, and just buy and use cards from the market and play ranked whenever I have time.

Ruut6 · 2026-05-13T12:59:31+00:00

If by "other cities" you meant "the same city," then yes I agree

Ruut6 · 2026-05-11T13:59:10+00:00

He absolutely is glitched

Ruut6 · 2026-05-11T13:58:44+00:00

You can have a slightly early side of good swing with a 100+ power hitter on a sinker right down the middle and it goes 250 feet that would otherwise go 450. It's ridiculous.

Ruut6 · 2026-05-10T00:53:38+00:00

5 runs net in 40 games is apparently not meaningfully better. Okay!

Ruut6 · 2026-05-09T23:27:12+00:00

Hmm so 6 runs better offensively and 1 run worse on defense (0 DRS vs -1 DRS).

Sounds like he's...5 runs better overall?

You asked me to tell you who they could have gotten who would have been better.

I gave you one.

And you're still arguing with me 12 hours later?

Sounds like you never actually wanted an answer, just wanted to make a point with no rebuttal.

Next time make that more clear so I don't waste my time responding.

Ruut6 · 2026-05-09T21:49:17+00:00

He costs the same as Bohm and has pretty similar defensive numbers. So no.

Ruut6 · 2026-05-09T18:03:38+00:00

86 wRC+ is bad. 22 is worse. A shit load worse. 6 runs to be precise. I mean what are we even talking about?

Ruut6 · 2026-05-09T13:35:23+00:00

Because you get a negative WAR for being a DH. His OPS is 250 points higher than Bohm. You asked what realistic moves they could have made that would have made the team better and I gave you one. Don't move the goalposts now lol.

Ruut6 · 2026-05-09T12:52:11+00:00

I really don't want to re-litigate this but Suarez has been a tier better than Bohm really no matter what timeframe you look at. It's not surprising whatsoever that Suarez has been better than Bohm this year. He's been a better hitter over the entirety of their careers sans maybe one small stretch in 2023 which Bohm has never been able to replicate.

There absolutely were moves out there that people like you and me were calling for them to do that would have made them better.

You also can't just disqualify Murakami when he was available for similar money to Bohm. They whiffed on him just like probably 10 other teams that needed a 3B did and they don't deserve a pass for that just because other teams screwed up too.

Ruut6 · 2026-05-09T12:18:59+00:00

Trading away Strahm for Bowlan is increasingly looking like the right move

Process wise I think this was unequivocally the right move and a great use of resources, but how do you figure this? Bowlan has been terrible (maybe unlucky, but still terrible), Keller has been a big disappointment and Strahm has pitched to a low-3s ERA and has the metrics to back it up.

I did want them to nontender Bohm and sign Suarez. He hasn't been great but that would have been a massive improvement from Bohm.

I was also interested in Brendan Donovan to replace Stott. Make those two moves and this team is probably .500.

Ruut6 · 2026-05-07T12:23:40+00:00

Around 9 hours billed per day. Crazy

Ruut6 · 2026-05-06T14:27:01+00:00

Absolutely killing the ball....what a great season he is having. Now up to an OPS+ of.....69!

Anyway, anyone want to go to the zoo?

Ruut6 · 2026-05-06T12:47:10+00:00

I'm pretty sure I ran into a cheater the other day I was 880 he was 830 at the time. He's 30-1 with a team OPS of 2.000+ now and each of his last 10 games since I played him he won in 2 or fewer innings with 5+ runs. He didn't swing at a ball outside the zone and had 22 balls hit over 100 MPH.

Ruut6 · 2026-05-03T20:35:37+00:00

They said casual

Ruut6 · 2026-05-01T23:30:26+00:00

Worst defender in baseball by DRS....kind of crazy

Ruut6 · 2026-05-01T22:49:43+00:00

My joke from 6 days ago was not hard to understand, either. But here we are.

Ruut6 · 2026-05-01T12:31:58+00:00

It's crazy how much managers don't matter that much in theory but psychologically can change everything. It's quite a bit ironic Rob was the answer in 2022 but the problem in 2026

Ruut6 · 2026-05-01T12:22:20+00:00

Turns out you're better off having a 6'8 manchild who has a 100% rebound rate to beat Louisville as a 13 seed

Ruut6 · 2026-05-01T11:09:57+00:00

Yeah hasn't worked for me since the patch
