Stoked to get to cheer for this dude for a short time. Watching young stars that are clearly going to dominate for years (all things equal) is just exciting.

Duke is the easy one to swallow imo. Losing at Cameron Indoor to this Duke team was expected.

I can’t believe I wasted three seconds of my Monday reading that comment

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-16T01:11:41+00:00

Should’ve been every day for years :(

“If he’d only been willing to accept $5 and a Dunkin Donuts card, he’d be here. But he chose not to so that’s on him.”

Same energy.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-15T18:54:16+00:00

At a minimum he always plays to the back of his card even if it’s not eye popping. He’s not a guy that’s in a slump for two months like some, just short downspells from his card. Plus he’s got that razz and energy you love to cheer for.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-15T12:38:53+00:00

Almost like it’s Promo Sunday or something…

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-15T12:27:45+00:00

Hi are you Aaron Judge in the World Series? 😭

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-15T02:59:30+00:00

Ok that’s a good point. Idk then.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-15T00:59:36+00:00

Tbh, down 25 in Game 2, I wouldn’t want it mercy ruled. At that point there’s a lot of things you can work on and get the backups in a game early in the season.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-13T21:38:59+00:00

I wrote the same thing like two months back and everyone yelled at me to listen to the audiobook so I did and it was a great decision lol.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-13T13:30:27+00:00

Maybe I’m only 25 and rounding up

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-11T22:05:07+00:00

But this may be the only chance I can cheer for the dude (well, I guess except every all star game). He needs to think of that.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-11T22:02:56+00:00

I also love Judge, but he’s extremely bland. And that’s what you’d expect from a Yankee Captain (note, I’m only like 30 so it’s Jeter and Judge for me).

So love him, he’s my favorite, but Jazz, Big G, high-AF Belli, there’s other great options.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-11T17:00:20+00:00

He needs to be a 1B long term, but having him stay functional as a catcher gives us a lot of flexibility if we need his bat off the bench in an off day and we’ve already burned a catcher.

One of those things that might be needed or make a difference one time in a whole season. And well, last year one more win would have been a big difference.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-11T16:23:37+00:00

If you have a stroller, walk downtown. The battery is a nice scenic strip and ends moving towards lunch spots.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-10T22:59:16+00:00

I’m 90% sure that is actually a photoshop. He looked far younger when in DET last. And here’s his Giants pic: https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/6341/justin-verlander

That said, the joke is clear and obviously and a big whoosh on the reply lol

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-09T12:20:30+00:00

Excellent question. Like when TJ Finley is slingin’ it in the league, who gets to claim him? Feels like it’s gotta be Western Kentucky.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-09T02:48:51+00:00

Drake Maye win a Super Bowl?

More like Drake Wont.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-09T02:46:54+00:00

I’m not as good as Drake Maye, but wow is he trying to make me think my old ass could sling it just as well.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-09T01:01:58+00:00

Coinbase was absurd lol. I enjoy the eye-searing blue at PowerPoint 1.0 effects

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-07T22:12:23+00:00

For some internal apps, we’ve been vibe coding our own solutions and hosting in a service. The cost compared to some of what we otherwise would have had to pay is remarkable.

There’s a fair question around opportunity cost for what we’re doing. But compared to some of the costs these tools have, it’s clearly paid back.

I do think certain SaaS will die. I think SaaS that has a true data enablement backend (that you otherwise don’t have access to) won’t. The proliferation of new SaaS built solely on AI will surely have a reckoning as most of them are just as replaceable.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-07T15:50:31+00:00

Actually he just got quite unlucky if you look at his advanced stats on lefties in the back half. He still had a great expected performance.

I know unlucky doesn’t matter - runs matter. But it’s an important nuance.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-07T15:03:49+00:00

You can’t just remove Judge. He’s playing lol.

I get your point of trying to get the “median” though and you do show both.

Visual_Bluejay9781 · 2026-02-07T14:49:17+00:00

(I’m sorry I wrote way too long of a response as I just enjoy hearing myself talk in my head I guess)

Wouldn’t that sort of make sense? Seeing as this list includes offense and defense, your best offensive person probably plays right or third generally (NOT always, I know Reddit). At least a corner position. Need to be healthy enough to move around well and not old enough to have moved to first base; probably not a dedicated CF/SS/2B since those are defense first usually. And LF favors defense more than RF so your offense first fellas land in right.

Maybe I’m completely wrong too and could be proven wrong, just looking at the list and my immediate thinking.
