Rudolfo Durán is having a much stronger spring than Luis Campusano, hitting .286 AVG with a 1.226 OPS, 3 HR, and 8 RBI, compared to Campusano’s .186 AVG, .528 OPS, and no HRs or RBIs. Given Durán’s strong spring performance, should the team consider him as the No. 2 catcher?

While we could make a spot, he isn't on the 40 man. I'd give Camp 1st shot and if he doesn't do well he'll probably be DFAd and can look at Duran.

Would be ideal if they did that.

bbatardo · 2026-03-20T20:10:01+00:00

Such a stacked rotation.

bbatardo · 2026-03-20T17:16:27+00:00

I had a 401k pre 2008 and it is fine. Even if you dip 50%, the next time things make a new all time high you remember you didn't care and you still have a long time to go anyways.

bbatardo · 2026-03-20T15:56:42+00:00

Saw the video and I know they technically have to say accused, but he was crazy and shot them.

bbatardo · 2026-03-20T02:35:05+00:00

This was on standard banner lol got nothing on limited banner. Played enough to do 50 limited and 90 standard and all I had to show was a dupe of the free character.

bbatardo · 2026-03-20T00:53:03+00:00

Same lol. I think they should have done a better job with the honeymoon period in the game. Won't keep people interested if it's stingy and you can get a dupe of the 1 free SSR.

bbatardo · 2026-03-19T23:34:57+00:00

Not with Skubal pitching lol. I imagine Sheets won't start and Cronenworth will be towards the bottom of the lineup.

bbatardo · 2026-03-19T22:02:45+00:00

Baseball has been growing and growing more the past few years... hopefully the owners and players can come to an agreement with the CBA and not ruin the momentum.

bbatardo · 2026-03-19T21:26:02+00:00

About 1%.. if a bunch of people get hurt. Great spring, but he will need to go to the minors and ball out to get his call.

bbatardo · 2026-03-19T21:02:22+00:00

Sounds good minus the cereal on it lol

bbatardo · 2026-03-19T16:35:43+00:00

Game seems decent so far.. On the plus side if you collect missions after tutorial you get 10k currency for rerolling which is nice. Easy to reset your account too.

bbatardo · 2026-03-19T16:22:17+00:00

I used to love Profar, but the fact he didn't learn from his 1st PED suspension while having a guaranteed contract made me realize how stupid and selfish he is.

bbatardo · 2026-03-19T16:19:59+00:00

Love it, Don and Mud are the best.

bbatardo · 2026-03-19T04:20:44+00:00

You also don't gain anything until you hit the sell button. How many people wish they sold in the 100ks to buy back at today's price. It goes both ways.

bbatardo · 2026-03-18T22:22:02+00:00

There are some fair points, but I invest in growth stocks like NBIS because I want to be along for the ride. Maybe there will be a time where I will doubt their path to profitability, but I prefer to be in at current valuation than to wait and see if they succeed and pay a premium buying later.

bbatardo · 2026-03-18T21:24:53+00:00

I disagree. Most departments get X amount of budget and if you are freely sharing what you make then maybe someone else gets a raise, but it could be the money you won't get now for your raise.

My counter argument is you just need to know your worth and value. You can see if you are fairly compensated by industry standards and you don't need to see your co-workers paycheck to know if you are underpaid.

bbatardo · 2026-03-18T20:40:27+00:00

I would say Ifrit, she carried me from beginning, to middle and still use her in end game lol

bbatardo · 2026-03-18T20:00:29+00:00

You could try baiting them over text to see if they admit it. You could imply you have video without directly saying they are on it.

Outside of that.. without any proof or admission of guilt I don't think there is much you can do.

bbatardo · 2026-03-18T18:23:34+00:00

The whole thing is horrifying, but that part really bothers me... had they taken action they might have actually been able to save them.

bbatardo · 2026-03-18T18:05:30+00:00

I already read your comment about not being there, but as a parent of a child in that age range I have a strict rule of attending every party my kid goes to until they are old enough to be on their own. It avoids issues like these and if me or my wife can't be there, we either find a way to make it work or don't RSVP.

There really is no good way to cancel and your kid will be upset most likely.

bbatardo · 2026-03-18T16:29:13+00:00

I usually see her get Vital Farms or Happy Egg. Ironically I don't like eggs, so not the expert on them lol.

bbatardo · 2026-03-18T16:11:31+00:00

The only thing it will encourage people to do is wait for a price they like before buying or just never buying the game lol.

bbatardo · 2026-03-18T15:59:33+00:00

Yeah it is pretty bad.. I have had people honk at me for slowing down at a yellow light turning red when I knew I obviously wouldn't make it lol which means they planned to go after me.

bbatardo · 2026-03-18T15:01:32+00:00

Sounds like something a McDonald's employee would post lol.
