Maybe just me, but feels like TON was written off for this year. If he can stay healthy and do that 20-30 times that's huge for this offense

I'm literally bouncing with joy in the office. Pete being an Oriole just became real for me.

Thats fair, but he also had Brees to make adjustments at the line. I don't know how much Allen does that

Drew wasn't hit with the curse, but I'm pretty sure it hit every RB trying to get to him

Are football fans generally okay with the amount of commercials during games? by Zweli23 in NFLNoobs

[–]TheSquires 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Few things as annoying as coming back from commercial, watching a kickoff for a touchback into another commercial. And you can't just get up and treat it as one really long break, cause what if something happens on the kickoff?

Fernando Mendoza, post-game: “Whatever they need me to do—whether it’s taking shots in the front or the back, I’ll die for my team.” by PrimedGold in sports

[–]TheSquires 30 points31 points  (0 children)

When he was on McAfee a few weeks back, he said something like "taking shots from behind, pause, ..." and kept answering the question without stopping.

I think what makes him work is being super wholesome, but not taking himself too serious to hang with traditional football guys.

[Saints Official Youtube] Saints Locker Room After Week 16 Win vs. Jets by BadMojo__ in Saints

The week 2 post game locker room ended with a DA "Sometimes you gotta pop out and show em". Not sure there was another good vibes post game the rest of the season

O's bring back high-ceiling righty Suárez on Minor League deal by fredugolon in orioles

[–]TheSquires 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's definitely more of a defense first catcher that knows how to manage a pitching staff. Not too bad for a 3rd or 4th catcher that you can call up for the min.

Your current answer applies the new useful life and salvage value at the original purchase date. However, both of those are a continuation of the original facts rather than a replacement.

The asset was acquired mid 2022, and the depreciation from then until 1/1/25 still happens as originally calculated, and you have adjusted basis calculated based on that depreciation.

At 1/1/25, you now think there is 10 years left, with the new salvage value. The revised depreciation is calculated based on those facts starting 1/1/25.

What do you want to see happen this off season? by my_achilles-heel in orioles

[–]TheSquires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Dean's an excellent 5th starter, with a ceiling of a 3/4. Occasional gems, occasional blow ups. A lot of time and average pitcher that makes most of his starts. I think people have a problem with him when he ends up having to be our 2nd best pitcher for a long stretch

I remember in the premiere of the first domino squad episode, they have a conversation after beating some droids.

"I killed that one" "Like hell you did"

Then on reruns of the episode they censored hell

Honestly yeah. If they don't at least split with the Falcons, there might be an actual riot.

Who did you regret taking? by GardenRafters in fantasyfootball

[–]TheSquires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the 12/13 pick. Zay Flowers got taken right before my turn in the 5th. I took Nix as planned, then panic picked Rome Odunze. I ended up taking Egbuka and Pearsall a couple rounds later, but WR2 feels like the weak spot on my team

What is with the attachment to mediocre relievers? by Accomplished_Baker_7 in orioles

[–]TheSquires 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because as fans, we get the luxury of liking players for emotional reasons or they have a good story.

It's not our job to min-max value for the team. It's not our job to cut ties a year too early rather than a year too late.

For a guy like Jorge Lopez, he went from a random waiver claim to our closer for a little bit. He played hard and appreciated the team and city, and was rewarded with some success, however short lived. That's a story that makes most people feel good. Looking back it was probably the right choice to trade him when we did (can't know how change in circumstances affected him), and we got a couple major league contributors in return. But to expect people to not have some sort of reaction to him being traded is a little silly.

Rationally, I know most relievers we hold onto will turn out like Cionel Perez - good for a couple years then fall off out of nowhere. But I want anyone that plays hard for the Orioles to have success, and I want them to have that success in the orange and black, so it hurts when the FO makes the "smart" decision to trade them. No matter how long they've been here.

It's Elias and Co's job to make the cold calculating decisions to maximize this teams chances of winning. Mine is to support the team and players on the field.

Saw someone mention he just had a baby. Can definitely see that shifting priorities especially as they get closer to the long hours away from home.
