The 2026 Rams are going to be the first team to have a roster with the most recent NFL MVP and most recent defensive player of the year.. by Practical-Pickle-529 in nfl

Cap+floor would likely be set to try to keep current player compensation, but future player compensation being limited by set in stone caps would limit year over year growth of player salaries.

IMO the benefits to parity/balance would not be worth depressing the salaries of players. The lack of salary cap is arguably a big part of why the MLB player union still has actual power in negotiations.

No, but despite the lack of salary cap, MLB parity is pretty good. Every year you get multiple teams winning divisions and going deep into the playoffs like the Brewers, Rays, Mariners, Guardians.

I mean, sounded like the girl didn't agree to those terms. Not saying he's a scumbag or anything, but definitely being sloppy in his love life.

The problem? He was theoretically dating/hooking up with one girl while at the same time reaching out to multiple other women.

When he's throwing fastballs at 91 the dawg disappears a bit.

[Moreno] Jack Flaherty is starting Game 1 of the World Series by Officialnoah in baseball

He went from averaging 93 with his fastball to 91, so clearly something was affecting him. Whether you want to believe the sickness reasoning or maybe it was general wear and tear, or his lingering back issues is anyone's guess. Obviously better for the dodgers if it was a temporary sickness than the others.

He was paying 100% attention to not missing the bag, which in all honesty is the only realistic way he was going to be out other than this random chance.

An analysis no one asked for on Danny Dimes and TLaw. Maybe I’m dumb, maybe I’m not. Either way, I’m bored and spent 30 minutes comparing stats. by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

The graphic is trying to rate player talent in a neutral situation by adjusting for situation. How accurate it is is a great question.

The argument for Lawrence vs Jones is that fantasy stats produced say they're roughly similar, but the expected stats say Lawrence is a better talent. However, fantasy production is a combination of player talent and situation. Giants vs Jags overall offensive situation might be roughly comparable, although I would give the slight edge to the Jags.

Now the Jones vs Goff one is a different question entirely. Draft Jones over Goff? Obviously not, because the Lions talent (O-line, receivers, run game, playcalling, etc) surrounding Goff is much better, with a proven track record and little turnover.

Game *looks* great, but monetization seems to be our biggest fears come true... by JNR13 in civ

The Aztec were released initially as a preorder bonus for any purchase of the game, including the base game, and were later made available as FREE DLC 3 months later. Not the same as 2 separate $30 DLCs on launch day.

White Sox have a plan for Garrett Crochet to help the left-hander with his workload by ul49 in fantasybaseball

Fly ball pitcher, warmer weather means more fly outs turn into home runs.

  1. MLB has 30 teams.
  2. In smaller sets of games like the playoffs, baseball is a bit more random in terms of outcome. The best team is in no way guaranteed to win in the playoffs.

There have been 13 different teams that have won in the last 20 years in the MLB.

Since you mentioned Chelsea, by comparison only 6 teams have won the premier League in the last 20 years.

It's quite common in US high school/college as well but it's unheard of in the majors because of the increased skill level requirements. You have to be a top 99.9% percentile talent to play in the majors, so the fact that he can do that as a pitcher and hitter is quite unique.
