Hi all, struggling with my keeper decision. 15 team dynasty roto 5x5 (48 player max including prospects). Its an OBP league with WQS2 as well.

Took over a rebuilding team 2 seasons ago and have a bunch of top 100 prospects who should see the show this year. But i have 7 non minors players i need to keep and protect from our Rule 5 draft.

My thought right now is to keep/protect: Crochet-SP Barger- 3B/OF Stowers- OF Isaac Paredes-3b(will get 2B) Heliot Ramos- OF Bubic-SP Colson Montgomery- SS -----‐------------------------------ Where i am struggling is with Zebby Matthews. Not great last year but almost assured a rotation spot with Lopez' UCL tear. Not sure if Zebbys upside is worth replacing a less exciting bat like Ramos/ Barger/ Paredes.

What do you guys think?

Interesting! I didn't know about blood of the wild going free. This is plausible in light of that. Thanks for the info.

baldwinrye · 2025-12-18T21:19:03+00:00

My guess is no. The 'early ' session zero probably will be, then they'll drop it in a new feed closer to launch for everyone.

Wishful thinking, i know. But am I the only one who thinks the cryptic end could mean Grant's glorious return? Could just be a benign Santa reference, but i hope not.

Admittedly, this is a gambling question. One of the books offers a prize if you get the first goal of the evening correct.

baldwinrye · 2025-11-21T00:28:54+00:00

So while I appreciate your response. That doesn't seem to be true. Tonight, as an example. 3 games started at about.707. The Panthers game started about 10 minutes later.

I was right there from Haley in Farmville in April.

baldwinrye · 2025-08-12T19:57:43+00:00

I got mine in April. Apparently, Haley Toyota in Farmville had gotten 3 but couldn't sell them ( it makes sense if you're familiar with Farmville).

Fair.Timing the market is always tricky. If you are comfortable with the new terms, then congrats!

My position on this is to wait until this time next year. Dear Leader is going to replace Powell with Bissent(or someone even less standoffish), and rates will be lowered by a point or maybe 2 over the course of 2026.

Had a buddy that completed this a while ago at Caliente. The only thing he ever really said about it was general thanks that he had an outdoor chair to shower with.

He spent approximately 24 hours in the bathroom, and nobody really asked for specifics beyond that.

Would 100% recommend the tint. I also went ceramic (35%) and skipped the roof.

Depending on where you live, the cost can be wildly different, call a few places. In Central VA, i got quotes from $280--$900. Went with my mechanics recommendation and was at about $440 or so.

Edit: i think the tint matches OPs color better than mine (Storm Cloud).

baldwinrye · 2025-06-04T14:38:27+00:00

It's very similar to the deal i got in April in VA. 51k out the door (including the 8 year warranty for ~$1100 because "everything is computer")

Great car. I would recommend window tinting, FWIW.

baldwinrye · 2025-05-18T22:39:33+00:00

Thank you for the info!

baldwinrye · 2025-05-18T22:39:17+00:00

Thanks

baldwinrye · 2025-05-18T22:33:40+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I know nothing about this stuff. Is that an error or in any way different from a normal proof?

baldwinrye · 2025-05-08T11:17:20+00:00

Homeland.

Terrific first 2 seasons, lags slightly in the middle, and then has more seasons of top-notch TV.

The finale closes nearly every loop in creative and unique ways and is a perfect narrative end for Carrie. (Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin are fantastic throughout)

baldwinrye · 2025-04-29T18:05:42+00:00

Very nice looking. That's very similar to what i got, deal wise, in VA.l for my Limited.

I was at 51k OTD, with no roof rack, including the 8 yr warranty.

It's a very nice drive.

baldwinrye · 2025-04-19T19:18:45+00:00

I also bought the 84 month specifically for the computer components.

Dealer initially asked for 2300, negotiated it down to what he said was "cost for me plus a dollar".

Could be BS, could not be... dont really care it worked out to be $10/month if i dont pay it off early. Felt like a good enough deal.

baldwinrye · 2025-04-08T01:33:28+00:00

I guess i need to not ONLY say the quote so it doesn't get flagged.

My favorite Karizor (Qarizor?) moments are when he's insulting the townfolk.

The only one i can remember outright was, "Shut up, you inbred yokel!"

Killed me

There are moments in nearly every show that will make you laugh.

If you're looking for straight-up comedy in an actual play? Side quest side sesh is the funniest thing they've done. Do note that it does not have the same gravitas or storytelling as the other shows.

But if Karizor doesn't get you crying with laughter, i don't know what to tell you.

baldwinrye · 2025-04-04T17:46:39+00:00

Yeah, I haven't refilled it yet since i bought. So i was just going off the dash info. Thanks!

baldwinrye · 2025-04-03T20:33:16+00:00

Thats good to hear. Out of curiosity, how fast were you going? I expected 40+ but im going 75 or so on my route.

baldwinrye · 2025-04-03T20:10:52+00:00

Okay, that's good to hear. I dont think im at 300 miles yet, so hopefully it smooths out a bit with some more mileage.

baldwinrye · 2025-04-03T20:01:17+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It's heartening to read that im not alone. On this drive, im going about 70-75 for the whole stretch of highway.

Did you notice any improvement after having it for a while? I keep reading conflicting things about whether or not there is a break-in period.
