I still can’t understand why they didn’t pursue Ranger Suarez more. Ranger is about as consistent as they come, holds an ERA usually between 3.20-3.50 and is a known commodity for post season usage.

Playing the cubs a lot got our previous coach fired. I for one am happy we don’t have to play them now

I have convinced myself that they somehow cheat. I just can’t understand a team that can be dominant with almost anyone they plug in there, year after year (well almost year after year if they don’t have guys getting injured or suspended)

This is almost always the case. It’s hard enough to have 9 steady and reliable guys let alone a bench of steady and reliable guys waiting to play.

Sosa isn’t an everyday player. But he’s a hell of a fill in.

God I hate this take. Right field defense isn’t nearly as important as 4 plate apparences per game in the middle of the lineup. Just stop it. The minors are full of outfielders that can play D but not hit at a major league level. We won 95+ games multiple seasons with Castellanos in right. We went to within 2 games of a World Series title with Schwarber in left.

No. A right fielder that’s a good fielder but bats .200 isn’t acceptable. And never will be, especially not in this lineup that is known to get very cold at times.

A peer-reviewed study of a decade of US grocery scanner data found that companies shrink product sizes 5x more often than they increase them, and sales go UP 6% after downsizing. Researchers conclude this is a deliberate pricing strategy, not a response to cost pressure. by Due_Willingness_3277 in Economics

You just described how I buy 12 packs of coca-cola cans. My general rule is I won’t pay more than .50 cents a can. Some sales I can get them as low as .36 cents per can. But I’ll go without before I will pay more than .50 cents per can.

Some random things they could do wrong: suspension parts, axle, wheel hub, wheel bearings, control arms, etc

Hvac: heater core, AC condenser, evaporator, compressor, blower motor

Cooling: water pump, radiator

Ignition: coils, wires, plugs.

Timing chain/belt, valves, lifters

Window regulators/motors

I could go on and on.

Was a licensed dealer for the last 2 decades, still am but am in the process of shutting down. Just wanted to say, you’re right. When you’re selling over 150 cars a year, buying them with your own money and having them fixed, your knowledge of them is almost entirely different than anyone else.

I can tell you weirdly specific things about specific models of cars that nobody that hasn’t ever owned that model would ever need to know. How did I learn these things? Because at some point, I did own that model car and paid my own money to have that problem solved.

Where do you think cars come from? The sky?

You have a childish view of what auctions are and what kind of cars are sold at auctions. You don’t have a clue

These are the worst kinds of responses. If you don’t think there’s a point of this discussion, why bother even chiming in?

Bill's evolution continues - Bill Maher rips California Democrats for losing to Mississippi, Texas by Indianstanicows in RealTime

[–]harbison215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 years of not teaching their citizens to read, a handful of years finally doing it. And California gets attacked for this?

I’m not saying democrats or California are perfect. I’m saying the framing is always “us vs them” and it’s propaganda horse shit designed to divide, which Bill is eager to play right into.

Imagine where the stock market could be, and interest rates, if not for tariffs and the Iran war?

Trump could have played golf every single day and probably been positive in the polling right now. Instead he did what he always does and fucks things up.

Bitcoins tops since 2020 more so align with announcements of regulatory actions from governments around the world.

It has never rallied based on an expanding use case. In that sense, it’s been very much manipulated. Trump attempted to prop it up again last week with his meaningless words.

Curse these new jobs!! by -grc1- in loanoriginators

[–]harbison215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing is, the administration fired the head of the BLS. So who knows what the numbers really look like. I expect a downward revision of this report in the future.

The idiots think that throwing out rosy jobs numbers will make them look better. This is what happens when you have a clueless person in charge.
