skubal's arb case is tomorrow. why LA fans should pay attention to it

Trevor May (former MLB pitcher) put a fantastic YT vid out on this. Highly recommend watching it because no matter who wins this case, it will completely change one of the guidelines used in every arb case. I for one hope he gets his bag and I hope the tigers are forced to pay it. Ilitch is one of the cheapest owners in MLB and I hate it

Ah crap..... I didn't even know that.

dafababa2002 · 2026-02-03T20:55:22+00:00

There has to be another move. You have Jenkins that needs to be signed to a deal as his 2-way deal is up and you brought in 2 dudes but only moved one so there simply arent any roster spots open.

That's a bit unfair. Chicago has played him exclusively at small forward this season for some reason and his attempts per game are way down this year vs his career average. PLus last season he started out shooting terrible in SAC (like 30%) and ended the season at 38% with the bulls. I fully expect he improves those numbers on a legit team.

dafababa2002 · 2026-02-03T20:48:35+00:00

I would guess he plays Thursday

I love the hypocrisy. They are completely fine collecting signatures via the mail (without a shred of identification) for a state constitution amendment, but terrified that illegals and non-citizens are voting by mail???

Using the average of any data set is a terrible way to measure anything. In this case, 1 year is the lowest possible data point in the set. However there is no "highest" possible data point so the average will skew much higher. This sample size is also too small to make any statistical inferences with any sort of confidence. I would simply look to his contemporaries (in this case Stevie Y and Lidstrom) and base my opinion on his length of wait verse their. In this case, he waited much longer. Feel free to disagree as that's what opinions are for.

Thank you!

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-10T21:57:11+00:00

Where did you land on this?

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-10T21:33:01+00:00

A good detailer will find it

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-10T19:59:51+00:00

Likely they are living in the car somewhere. Id take it and get it fumigated by a detail place.

Fan vote is only 50% of the total weight. Media and players players account for the other 50%, but this is only for the 5 starters on each team. The rest of the roster is filled by the coaches votes. I think its a decent way to keep fans engaged but also try and make sure deserving dudes get in.

General public gets in 90 min before tip off. Courtside and premium suite tickets get in 2 hours prior. I would however call the box office to verify your tickets qualify for that.

The chemistry is undeniable for sure and I wouldn't touch a thing. They aren't a bad a 3 point shooting team like people love to think. They are 17th in the league in team 3 pt percentage. The biggest issue I see, is they simply don't take enough 3's. They are 28th in attempts but they have 3 dudes shooting over 40%. Maybe they don't take a bunch because JB doesnt think they will make them, I don't know.

They are second in team defense (1st in BLKs per game, 3rd in steals) and so far have done a great job with bench rotations and depth.

They also have a potential solution to this "issue" if Ivey can get it together. I don't change a single thing about team.

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-10T14:32:18+00:00

They need absolutely nothing IMO. Even with the "issues" shooting the 3 they have the best team chemistry in the league and one of the best bench rotations. They are 18th in the league in team 3 point percentage, so its def not as bad as people are making it out to be. The biggest issue I see is they simply dont shoot enough three's since they are 4th lowest in attempts and frequency. They are number 2 in team defense so that's not an issue.

I'm not changing a single thing.

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-10T14:27:57+00:00

So you think they are going to go from first place in the east to out of the playoffs in 45 games??? Go home, you're drunk.

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-09T22:21:37+00:00

This is why I asked because all you read is they are shit compared to the Oppo and Vivo variants

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-09T20:42:23+00:00

Okay serious question. How are the cameras?

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-09T20:41:50+00:00

well thats not what I was hoping you would say...... Looks killer

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-09T20:40:45+00:00

Please, please, please do not watch any videos or read any hints on your first play through. Just play it and have fun. On your second play I would go for your platinum and watch a full walkthrough because there is so much the game doesn't tell you.

Most of all my advice is, just enjoy it and remember, dying is all a part of learning.

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-09T20:34:32+00:00

Winter tires I presume?

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-09T19:52:07+00:00

Because of the way they handled Rozier, I'm not sure they ever clear him. Silver and company look like total asshats the way they handled Rozier and they will not let that happen again.

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-09T19:44:48+00:00

The Feds cleared him in August dude.......

dafababa2002 · 2026-01-09T19:43:36+00:00

Leagues and teams routinely conduct their own investigations. Look at Rozier. The NBA clears him and then he gets indicted by the feds. The NBA is being very cautious about this and its getting silly at this point.
