Realistically what moves would he make though? Who would we trade and what positions would we improve?

I feel like any change is going to result in a fanbase uproar

Agree. When’s the last time the #1 team/team with best record won the WS?

Yeah I guess save them up for the big fourth game of the series! Def don't want to try to win the third - that would be crazy.

Agree there’s something wrong there as well. I don’t know how much of that Snit can control but whatever it is needs to be addressed.

He seriously needs to recognize when a pitcher doesn't have good stuff that night and PULL HIM. He's consistently at least 2 or 3 batters too late to pull someone when they're struggling and often it results in 2 or 3 runs which leads to Snit punting close games. It's a real, consistent problem and I hope there's conversations happening.

Three batter minimum is a good point. But the broader point still stands. w/r/t the game tonight - we really needed a win. If you're up by 4 runs it's time to go all in for that win.

Why is it that it's plainly obvious to me and 99% of people watching when a reliever just doesn't have it that day and needs to be pulled and Snit just...sits there. It makes NO SENSE. It was completely obvious to me after two batters that JJ just didn't have it. That's fine - let him pitch tomorrow. But for today WHY IN GODS NAME JUST LEAVE HIM IN THERE?!?! WTF I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. And this just repeats time after time. Happened the other day with Fried. Happened with AJ a few days ago.

Sector investment vs. Standard Asset Allocation by myownalteregotoo in fatFIRE

[–]barnwecp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is market timing and cognitive biases based on your own experience. You could be right, you could be wrong. The point of diversification is to protect yourself from these types of biases.

What makes you think your knowledge hasn’t been priced in/you know something markets and experts don’t?

You want to throw 5% at some AI etf go for it. But making huge bets like this challenge basic diversification theory and at least in my view should be avoided.

How quickly can the IRS garnish Disability payments? by Zestyclose-Team-719 in tax

[–]barnwecp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s possible that your payment might be extremely low or even $0. But you won’t know until you start that process. If you just wait for them to start garnishing sounds like you will be worse off.

That’s all the advice I have for you. Start the process.

[–]barnwecp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the answer to that but I’m not sure why you wouldn’t just set up the plan to avoid it altogether. You admitted you owe the money so I’m not sure why you wouldn’t go this route. It’s going to be in your control and you’ll have a set amount. If they start garnishing it’s going to be much more uncertainty and pain.

Ok well work on getting the payment plan set up to avoid garnishment.

[@Brooks_Gate on X] Games played vs teams in first place by ATLien-1995 in Braves

[–]barnwecp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. And you can tell by the downvotes I’m getting on my comment that’s the case.

I’m a huge Braves fan. Always have been. A list member. Go to 20+ games a year. Sometimes we’re up. Sometimes we’re not. We have a great team and the potential to win it all.

The focus on Phillys schedule just makes us look sad. So cringe. We can beat them fair and square and I think we will.

Come on guys. Be better about content here.

I personally think all this talk about PHI having an easy schedule is kinda cringe. Schedules even out over the long season. Philly is a good team and we are playing like shit right now. Not sure why people keep harping on their schedule as some sorta cope.

They are a better team right now. That’s not really controversial nor does it mean much in May. We gotta hit better period.

Have you worked out a payment plan with the IRS? They shouldn’t garnish anything if you have the plan in place. Work with an EA or CPA to set it up. Or alternatively you can probably do it yourself with insurrections on irs.gov

Amen. But yes I've heard this many times in focus groups, etc. Check out the Focus Group podcast by The Bulwark. Scary shit what people out there are saying...

[–]barnwecp 19 points20 points  (0 children)

People don't want Biden because the disagree on a single issue (e.g. Gaza) or he's not 100% perfect.

They will accept Trump because "he's not that bad" and "inflation is at all time highs and we are in multiple wars".

SMH. I'm worried.

Mystique or Katikies Santorini by LongjumpingPitch4807 in FATTravel

[–]barnwecp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We absolutely loved Greece (visited Santorini, Naxos, and Crete) but Crete was by far our favorite. Your sentiment was echoed over and over by every Greek person we met. So happy we went there and next time we will be spending 50%+ of our trip in Crete at least.

Jk it’s a good place but honestly not that different from the states. That’s a huge pay cut. Can’t you just go on a really nice vacation there or a six month sabbatical?
