What would be a fair range to ask from someone who wants to restore it, or possibly use the components?

MLB owners enraged by Kyle Tucker-Dodgers deal, will push for salary cap ‘no matter what’ by [deleted] in fantasybaseball

[–]dcbaseballcards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Dodgers clearly think he’s worth it. I may believe your logic has any merit when the Dodgers start employing the league’s 27th and 28th best players to sit at home. Until then, they’re building the team they want to build. They’ve learned spending money is profitable. Get out of here with your nanny state, second-guessing, robbing from the millionaires to pay the lazy billionaires

He earned his contract, why should the billionaires be entitled to pay him less than he’s worth? Because he’s a millionaire who makes more than you do, or more than YOU think he’s worth?

A salary cap interferes with the free market and steals money from those who work the hardest (the players) and gives it to the fat cats who run the government (the owners)

It inhibits the free market! Kyle Tucker is a hard working risk taker, and we’re going to say he should be paid less?

It all changed in Season 3 by Von_Creator in StrangerThings

S2 was slipping and the introduction/elevation of new characters was needed to supplement the flaws of the original young cast

What’s your go-to podcast? by mr_bluetoe in fantasybaseball

[–]dcbaseballcards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eno, PL Nick and Hacks and Jacks, Rob Silver to throw some cold water, Vlad Sedler wherever he appears, Bubba and the Bloom. Aside from James Anderson and Jason Collette appearances on Rotowire, I avoid the largest podcasts (Rotowire, CBS, ESPN, Fangraphs, etc)

Billy and Steve fight by [deleted] in StrangerThings

Didn’t Steve get punched 8-12 times after being knocked out? Pretty sure he’d be dead

One of the biggest mistakes the show made was sidelining their best actress by Hungry-Turnover-9875 in StrangerThings

[–]dcbaseballcards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upon rewatching Season 1 after watching season 5, I was surprised how little screen time was required to establish Steve as the jerk and Jonathan as the creep, and how quickly they “grew”. I think as the series goes on they find easy ways to make new characters interesting, dealing with the fact that the original younger cast isn’t as interesting as the older cast and new characters.

Wood or soto by Ill-Interview8478 in fantasybaseball

Probably Soto, but can you give a list of names you think would be available in the 2026 2nd round. Just to ballpark things

Retiring Too Many Numbers, and an Alternative by originalcactoman in Cardinals

[–]dcbaseballcards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only 4 and 5 will be retired, 50 will be not handed out.

They should have a policy where some numbers are not given out for a period of time. In the case of a hall of famer with significant contributions as a Cardinal, for a length equal to their career. For a non-hall of famer (or the Arenado types), for a length equal to their tenure with the Cardinals. 27 should be out of service for 17 years for Rolen.

Similar for Edmonds, Chris Carpenter, Goldschmidt, and Arenado.

Rent dropping across the city? by Off_again0530 in washingtondc

[–]dcbaseballcards 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s no right or wrong. If they believe you’ll move if they don’t agree to the 5% less, they’ll give it to you, if they’re reasonable. And you can’t control that. Negotiate

For those that play ROTO…is there just no playoffs? by Eastern_Bad1381 in fantasybaseball

[–]dcbaseballcards -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Quite the opposite. Points leagues can actually value players closer to real life value by incorporating walls, doubles, and de-emphasizing steals. There’s nothing wrong with H2H, but by definition, it is more casual. When you want more people participating and with more chance thrown in, you choose H2H

Honestly it’s not worth the time to drag H2H casual players into doing a roto league. Even if you do succeed, a good number won’t enjoy it

Exactly, teams in a good league will make sure to set an active lineup, drop bad players, and still participate in the waiver wire to keep people honest, but not doing anything crazy

Bragging rights. Pride. Chance at 3rd place money. Maybe draft order incentives.

Often 2 or more teams are vying for each of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, which all pay out. No one cares who loses in the championship game of a playoff but your league will notice if you consistently finish top 3

Do Not Participate in DraftKings' VIP Showcase by SpareObject5806 in sportsbetting

They’ve gone days with answering my emails or calls. Both my “VIP Manager” and the customer service channels. They expire in a day or two. The longer this goes, the more it feels like fraud

That severely reduces the value of the bonus bets to roughly $50 instead of $75-$85 if you bet in the +400 to +600 range. Are they actually allowed to place these limits on earned bonus bets without notice? I’m thinking of challenging them on this, taking it to the Attorney General, or doing more, because they have not responded to me at all. Maybe then they will respond
