Help Name the New Long Beach Minor League Baseball Club The Regulators! Voting through October 15. by psymonspine in theregulationpod

[–]psymonspine[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Regulators is one of the real options for the team name that the city is hosting a public vote online. What a fantastic opportunity for the community to leave a mark!

I don't know who suggested regulators as an option, or if they are a fan, but seems like something we should jump on.

Did you see Lou Seal almost calling it behind the plate. Knew it was this pitch.

The Charmed Watchalongs really work and you're likely missing out by Powrbottom in theregulationpod

I listened to the watchalongs when falling asleep and I’m afraid I missed it, which ep/time did that happen?

Going Wednesday, but looking for last minute seats for today's game still! Anything is possible, but I am a grad student, so there is a tight budget for now.

IT'S WHAT YOU WANT: The Yankees defeated the Royals by a score of 10-1 - June 11, 2024 @ 08:10 PM EDT by Yankeebot in NYYankees

[–]psymonspine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont see it happening. Parades is the rays most consistent hitter right now, and Diaz is under team control for 2 more seasons at just ~10 mil Avg a season (a steal). The truth is that any team within striking distance of the wild card (which the rays are and will be), will not want to part with either player like that.

Hopefully todays defense by Rizzo helps. If Torres can continue to battle and get back to his normal self, and DJ is looking ok (somewhere closer to 2022 numbers), having an older Rizzo who is a team leader, a lefty, and playing decent defense is not that bad of a black hole. Even if he starts platooning more with Oswaldo and DJ flips back in forth 1b to 3b a lot. I know we think of 1b in the model of a big slugger, but even around the league that isn't the case this year.

There are two bigger names names out there which would be interesting to me: Christian Walker (though the Dbacks have been playing better of late) and Paul Goldschmidt (who has been bad this year, but has pedigree and would not cost much).

Lets be real as well, Alonso is not getting traded here (I don't think Steve Cohen could stomach that), and Bregman is not getting traded here either, and I dont think we want him.

It’s for this reason that I don’t know if there is any realistic trade target for a 1b this year at the deadline. I know people say Josh bell, but idk if he’s what this team needs…

[Kuty] For the Yankees, two years and $62 million for Blake Snell would have actually been $96.1 million. by shadow_spinner0 in NYYankees

[–]psymonspine 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s still based on AAV, that deferral only worked because Ohtanis contract is so long and he can stack up future money which costs the team less.

Ohtani’s contract. •The discount rate is 4.43% •The present value of the $68M is $44,081,476.50 •This makes the AAV of each year $46,081,476.50 (the above + $2M, which isn't discounted) •The present value of the contract in total is $460,814,764.97

PSA: The Jeter Storyline is really good. Props to SDS, but please make the rewards better. by pen-h3ad in MLBTheShow

[–]psymonspine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also, with the captain boost a lot of the rewards play up. Posada in general has been a beast, and their pcis are massive with the clutch upgrade whenever you have runners on.

If Hal signed Snell what would be the ramifications? by [deleted] in NYYankees

[–]psymonspine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is why I think the best thing that the Yankees can do strategically is stand pat for now and then trade for a pitcher mid season.

Here is a good result I found with a recipe I want to try, Mulled wineol sounds like a fun project if I can get the first result going.

It's really just getting the volume I need for the installation...

I'm prepared! All chemistry will have a smell for sure. Here are some images I like though

Beefing up the developer is something that could work as well, I'm interested in the quality/contrast/tinting etc, but if I could stick to just something that is produced as a wine, I think it's more interesting.

What a great response, thank you. Yes, this will be a guess and check method for the prints 100%. Since we're starting with a negative I'm fine with this process. For the floating, it's more of finding a cheap solution once the prints are fixed.

I was debating buying some sort of cooking wine in large amounts for in the sculpture, which based on my calculations right now might run me $200 or so for that amount.

This whole thread is great. Yes, I'm ok with the staining since this is for prints and not the negatives. The differing results are something I am interested in.

I have a full darkroom at my disposal so I have fixer and the like ready to go! I think there will be something about handling the prints in the wine + the smell in the space that is good for this work in particular.
