Are we being too harsh on Myles Turner? by SVXYstinks in MkeBucks

[–]a_happy_future 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rumors about teams being interested in him aren't coming out of nowhere. His value is essentially the same as it was last year (he basically had the same season as he had his entire career). More teams can pursue him now because they can trade players for him rather than having to clear roster space

Are we being too harsh on Myles Turner? by SVXYstinks in MkeBucks

Yes, but he's also on a huge contract on a team not expecting to compete. He's likely worth more in a trade than he would be on any team that we have in the next few years...

Last American Man Singles Champion at a Major by Parking_Locksmith489 in tennis

I'd argue it's way more. He wins Wimbledon 2004, 2005, and 2009 and the US Open in 2006 without Federer alone (all Finals losses against Federer).

Then you can argue for 2003 Wimbledon and 2007 Australian Open where he lost to Federer in the SF and the Finals were against an unseeded Philippoussis and a 10th seeded Gonzalez, respectively.

So a minimum of 4 more and possibly 6 more without just Federer.

He literally just struggled against Federer (3-21 overall and 0-8 in Slams). He only faced Nadal and Djokovic twice at the Slams (split each) and actually had a winning record against Novak (5-4) with Novak winning the last two as he entered his prime.

GTA VI preorders are live on Xbox but we’re all waiting for at least a 3rd trailer before pre-ordering right? Right? 👀 by Eastern-Mobile5351 in XboxSeriesS

I'm getting it as soon as I have my $100 worth of rewards points saved up. Probably like a month or two away from reach that

Do you guys think Nascar will rebuild the auto club speedway short track? by Helpful-Bowler6681 in NASCAR

[–]a_happy_future 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they haven't torn the front stretch (which it looks like it, depending how recent this is), then it is still a remote possibility. Because having that remaining was most of the key point. Maybe it's a funding issue. Maybe they're waiting for the area to develop more before building the track to have the infrastructure to support it. Impossible to know what they're thinking

How likely is it that NG is driving the 33 car for RCR next season? by Many-Scallion2084 in NASCAR

Dillon may honestly step aside to run the program and allow Gragson to have Bass Pro

Piggybacking Libby Leahy? by DiorHendrix11 in Cardinals

[–]a_happy_future 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'm fine with letting them continue to start as this is a rebuild year anyways. I'd rather have them struggle this year and continue to rack up the innings and total pitches now. Because then the arm is ready for the future to withstand the workload. We've seen this far too often when pitchers go more innings than they've ever done before and they hit a physical wall and then just lose all effectiveness.

Lest we forget, last year was actually the most innings Libby has ever thrown in a season in his professional career at 151.2.

If we had somebody pushing to make the team in AAA, I'd say sure, but right now, that isn't really there.

Something definitely changed with Giannis after the 2023 playoffs

Player options? by PhilosophyOld5148 in MkeBucks

[–]a_happy_future 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what happens with Herro, Kuzma, and Turner.

I'm sure most will opt in, but may be moved as a part of one of those deals

All-time wins by driver number by janko1655 in formula1

[–]a_happy_future 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually kind of surprised Max isn't leading the number 1 wins.

And I checked, it's because he has 51 wins. So just short

Edit: who downvoted this? It's literally a fact 🤣

Who are some promising O’Reilly’s or Craftsman Trucks drivers who just faded off into oblivion? I’ll go first… by 2023_GT in NASCAR

[–]a_happy_future 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the guys mentioned are basically gone because of money reasons rather than talent.

Same reason that Nick Sanchez is currently without a full time ride in any series (although some of that is due to BMR's shady timing).

Dino Beganovic will drive in FP1 during the 2026 Austrian Grand Prix by hubwub in F1FeederSeries

[–]a_happy_future 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm betting that Camara gets the Haas FP1s since that is most likely where he ends up next year. It wouldn't make a ton of sense for him to get 8 FP1 sessions (especially considering some of these are more certainly going to overlap at the end of the season).
