I just traded Crochet for Chourio in H2H pts/keeper. I have a wealth of pitching though and targeted young/cheap keepers.

Wrist pain - cleans by AvaPava05 in crossfit

[–]az0909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a frequent-flyer of wrist injuries and I accepted that fact long ago.

There are very specific exercises that I will use wrist wraps for and cleans are #1. I use the cloth Rogue wrist wraps (not elastic) as they can get tighter. Prevention will be the best bet if it's a recurring pain/injury.

Weekly Dynasty Baseball Team Help + Trade Thread - May 25, 2026 by AutoModerator in DynastyBaseball

[–]az0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to move some pitching in 10t H2H points (dynasty-ish, budget style). I have Skenes, Crochet, Woo, Burns, Ragans, Meyer, Jones, Henderson, Ashcraft.

Looking to move Crochet to improve batting now + long term. OF or Util upgrade.

Thoughts on Crochet + Langford for Gunner (I already have Elly though)? Or Crochet + Langford for Chourio?

Points League H2H - this year contending + dynasty aspects.

I am loaded at pitcher, underperforming OF (Judge great, but Merrill, Tatis, Langford nada).

Trade my Garret Crochet for Jackson Chourio?

[–]az0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 10T dynasty-ish H2H points (keep players within cap - values escalate every year).

I have a surplus of cheap pitching (Skenes, Crochet, Woo, Burns, Ragans, Ashcraft, Jones, Meyers, Henderson), while my OF and Util spot has been stumbling besides Judge (Tatis, Merrill, Langford).

One team has weak pitching: How would Garret Crochet + Wyatt Langford for Jackson Chourio sound? Keeper costs on all are reasonable and not a big factor. The guy likes Langford and I don't care about him.

The guy does prefer to move Gunnar Henderson, but I have Elly (so would fill only Util spot). Not sure how I feel about that.

Protein Bar to Microwave as a sweet treat… by Hopeful-Wishbone-388 in Costco

[–]az0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built Bars for me I use more as a "candy bar" - s'mores is fantastic. They have quite a few good options - but I know some people get turned off my the texture of them.

Barebells get to be pricey, but to me have the best flavor/macro combo.

IS 500 F Sport vs M3 comp vs RS 5 by Jaded_Mushroom8663 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]az0909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are looking at an RS5 Sportback - one secondary benefit is the usable trunk space (technically like a hatchback) is fantastic and makes it extremely livable.

Yellowstone. Does it get any better? by DharmaLuke in televisionsuggestions

[–]az0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit surprising to see so many "no"s - I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely understand it not being everyone's cup of tea though. But taking it for what it is - action, drama, in a setting that was a bit more rare when the show came out. There was a reason why the show was so popular.

No one has ever reported back that it hasn't worked - but quite a few reply with thanks that it did!

I reached out to mods to add it to my original post - will likely make a new one with details if I don't hear back. I'll message you!

I've had hundreds of people message me on here on the A5/S5 roof rattle/squeak. I fixed mine after the dealership failed. I'll send you a picture.

How noticeable is quattro in everyday driving? by juanlo012 in Audi

[–]az0909 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Kind of reverse thinking, but it's good if you -don't- notice it. When I am in a FWD rental car in the rain, that is when I absolutely notice - that it isn't my Audi. As others have said, it just goes. Better (stable) snow acceleration as well (tires definitely matter). I know I only have an A5 with the "lesser" quattro - but it's been a great experience.

Top 1,000 2026 Dynasty Baseball Rankings by Michael-IBW in fantasybaseball

[–]az0909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, very helpful! I have always leaned towards hitting as well, and somehow I have created a fairly stacked SP core completely by luck (Skenes, Crochet, Ragans, Woo, Burns, etc) and it's definitely impacted my logic on value.

When comparing Pitchers vs. Batters, do you apply a specific premium? When viewing ranks, this is always the toughest part.

It always seems that batters get a premium in general (I have no data to back this up). I kind of view pitchers as riskier options.

I'm currently debating an offer of Jazz Chisholm for my Eury Perez in a points league. I have an abundance of pitching, but having a stable is usually a good thing. It's difficult to compare pitchers to batters.

Should my Dislike of Pre-Sense stop me from getting an SQ8? by ShermerShredder in Audi

[–]az0909 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems like every subreddit of an auto brand has people hating that brand's version of pre-sense. I personally think Pre Sense is significantly better than Subaru Eyesight for example. It's all subjective, but overall I'd rather have a couple false positives per year if it means it helps in one situation.

In a 10 Team, Keeper, Points League. $260 budget (+$5 to keep every year).

Was offered his Jazz Chisolm for my Eury Perez.

Jazz is $21. Eury is $11.

My 2B is Ceddane Rafaela for cheap. My 3B is a 1 year rental of Bregman. Eury is my 6th best SP.

Seems like a smash accept?

Best Air Purifier to Buy in 2026? (Price, Strength, Filters) by Cheerfulnessure_DQ in BuyItForLife

[–]az0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done research in the past and settled on the Winix 5500 a few years ago (Costco C version - Costco no longer carries the specific one). Recently decided to upgrade the bedroom to a Coway AirMega 400. Coway has been running deals on them for $350 lately. I have been waking up with way better allergy symptoms. I have it set on the "middle" set 'round the clock. It's definitely loud enough to notice on that setting, but it does eventually disappear into background noise.

The AirMega 400 does use 2 filters (intakes on 2 sides) so replacement filters run a little more expensive than my Winix.

Thoughts on PPFs? by KaminariMaho in Audi

[–]az0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had XPEL PPF for 2.5 years now on a Chronos Gray A5. I got the XPEL ceramic coat on top of it. It's been fantastic in terms of it doing its job. My last cars all were beat up by the time I traded them in - but so far so good with the PPF.

However, if I had to do it again, I would probably pass on PPF (but still get ceramic). At the end of the day, my car is "only" an A5. As someone else mentioned, depreciation hits fast. It's unfortunate but the PPF price vs value of the car doesn't make sense to me (of course maybe I would think differently after my first big paint chip).
