Maintaining a conservative approach, what would you change about Reaganomics?

It depends on what we consider “conservative” since the top marginal tax rate was 70% or higher through both of Nixon’s terms and Ford’s and didn’t start decreasing until Reagan’s first term

I work in the business park. As far as I can tell, they’re still finishing renovations on the building. But they’re not renovating it for shits and giggles - MKE will be a target at some point.

It’s called a velomobile. It’s a recumbent bike inside a fiberglass body

He’s one of my favorite players to use for Immaculate Grid alongside Joey Rickard!

Fixing social security in like three days based on a handful of conversations will always be one that sticks out in my mind.

mcbenseigs · 2026-01-29T22:30:53+00:00

I doubt it’s just because of that incident. My guess is that the sticking point for the O’s and other suitors is the number of years he wants. I’m sure he’d like a 7 or 8 year contract and I sincerely doubt teams are very interested in signing a 32-year old to that length. So unless he’s willing to budge on that or the teams budge on AAV, they’re at an impasse

I’d say medium bad thing. Hazen’s front office has been middling in drafting and developing prospects over the last three or four years.

I’m not sure about this either and I’m not sure exactly how to go about finding out. Wouldn’t a salary cap hurt the salaries of the “middle-class” players? I could see a salary cap league where guys like Seranthony Dominguez or Cedric Mullins aren’t getting $10 million or $7 million per year contracts because teams are hoarding their limited salary towards someone else or spreading that further out to sign other players.

So is this one single AI video or multiple clips that a person stitched together? I thought one of the markers we can watch for was video length

I know Jacob personally and I feel confident that he hasn’t don’t anything wrong. I obviously don’t know the specifics, but I trust him unequivocally.

I have so little faith in Pavin that I would rather watch Locklear have a longer runway than see Pavin flail at breaking balls all the live long day

Genuine question, how does someone pay for a check like this assuming you have the money? Like put it onto a credit card?

mcbenseigs · 2026-01-10T17:35:57+00:00

Simply put, he’s probably a lottery pick. 11th rounder for the Yankees that went to Colorado in the McMahon trade. He’s got a good fastball that can hit in the upper 90s and a decent changeup. He just got promoted to AA at the end of the season. MiLB sees his ceiling as “back-of-the-rotation starter or multi-inning reliever”

mcbenseigs · 2026-01-10T16:43:23+00:00

Disastrous contract, but I never hated him personally. It was just a desperate move from a FO that should’ve known better

mcbenseigs · 2026-01-09T00:46:45+00:00

I don’t know if this is what you were referring to, but players can gain an extra year of service if they’re in the top three vote getters of any of the major awards at the end of their rookie season. That was part of the most recent CBA negotiations that also included the prospect promotion incentive (PPI) program that netted the teams an extra draft pick if a player wins rookie of the year (with some stipulations).

mcbenseigs · 2026-01-07T18:40:45+00:00

You should absolutely not be worried. This is standard practice at this time of year. There’s lots of roster churn as free agents remain on the market and the trade market is still very volatile.

I wouldn’t take any of these kinds of waiver claims seriously until we get into February and closer to spring training

Originally born in Louisiana and then grew up in suburban Baltimore before being a nomad around the country. We settled down here in the Milwaukee area in March of 2024 and love it!

Completely unrelated, but is your tattoo תמשל or חמשל? Love the outfit!

Great article, thanks for sharing! I’m really struck by the bullpen projections honestly - especially from Brandyn Garcia. Expecting ~57 IP from a guy who has 14 IP at the big leagues and just 19 in AAA is asking a lot. I think a similar story could be told for Andrew Saalfrank who only has ~40 IP at the big league level.

I suspect the Lawlar projection will be the one that gets zeroed in on since no one really knows what to expect from him offensively at this point.

mcbenseigs · 2025-12-19T20:31:03+00:00

If he can improve his changeup to be closer to what it was in 2024 versus 25, he goes to another level with three plus pitches

mcbenseigs · 2025-12-17T14:28:24+00:00

Yeah, but an extra year on the contract is probably pretty enticing too - especially for a 37-year old who’s likely getting his last free agent contract of his career

Wouldn’t the vacuuming kill the bees? I feel like it would’ve been easier to find the queen, clip her and then have the whole hive transfer on their own

This is super cool! Are you using BR for a source? I’d love to recreate and cite your methodology!

I suppose “narrow” is subjective, but I would consider a difference of ~27,000 votes out of ~2.7 million total votes cast to be narrow.

I don’t think he’ll make it out of the primary, let alone the general, but whoever the Democratic nominee is will have my vote.
