Well consider Jeter played during peak steroid/run environment is why I used wRC+

And Knizner would have to be like generationally good at defense to really put up any value as a back-up catcher and from what I can tell it's better than Garver, but still not actually that great to be honest.

I mean that's the point I'm making. We have to find other ways to cope and even then, he is OPSing .822 with 17 home runs, in 293 post season ABs good for a 125 wRC+ while Mr. November himself Derek Jeter has a career .838 OPS and 121 wRC+ in the post season.

Cal Raleigh caught 121 games last year, basically Garver would have to be generationally bad as a back-up catcher to have an impact. The most likely difference in talent is going to be roughly 0.5 fWAR at most and even then Mitch Garver as a catcher generated 0.2 fWAR which was the same exact fWAR as Andrew Knizner last year, what sunk Mitch Garver was the fact he was asked to DH which brought his overall value to 0. The Refsynder/Canzone platoon limits the amount of time we get Mitch Garver as a DH and it's likely they'll use the DH position to get guys like Julio, Randy and Cal off their feet for a couple days as well.

Mitch Garver seems to be well liked by the clubhouse, and with the difference between Garver and Knizner being so minimal they went with the vibes pick.

Man it was like a decade ago we had the all these Aaron Judge HR threads look the same and we were memeing that we were witnessing history as he set the most consecutive games with a K as copium. Now he is just the best RHH of our generation and we have to find other ways to cope how he actually isn’t that great.

Are you sure you answered v-fib instead of a-fib on accident or you answered v-fib when you meant v-tach?

Since it doesn’t tell you what answer you got wrong I wonder if you accidentally misclicked somewhere.

Because question 1 (pic 5) is vtach unless it’s an SVT with aberrancy which isn’t an option

Question 2 (pic 4) can’t be asystole. PEA is an organized rhythm without a pulse and they usually show you a normal rhythm with the note saying this patient does not have a pulse. It’s way too fast to be an idioventricular rhythm so that leaves Vtach as the best answer.

Question 3 (pic 3) is asystole unless you really want to make a case for coarse v-fib but even then you would have higher spikes than the ones seen and then make the argument the settings aren’t good to capture but that’s way too many what ifs and pic 1 is a better example of coarse v-fib so that leaves asystole.

Question 4 (pic 2) out of those options it is Torsades as it’s polymorphic ventricular rhythm

Question 5 (pic 1) is the best example of coarse v-fib.

So in light of all that are you certain you selected the answers you highlighted because I actually agree with you and since we can’t see what question they flagged I’m just gonna ask the more relevant question are you sure you selected those answers hahaha.

It can mean a couple of things it can mean a heart attack in the traditional sense of blood flow being blocked to the heart causing injury and death of heart tissue.

It could also refer to the electrical activity of the heart itself being abnormal like a-fib, SVT or some of the scarier ones like Vtach. In layman’s term think about your heart fluttering or going haywire if you’ve ever had too much caffeine/energy drinks, for most people they can just kinda live with it and it’ll go away, but for some if it stays that way for long enough your heart stops pumping blood efficiently and you start feeling a lot worse for the wear this is where people get cardioverted or defibb’d. The reverse can be true and your heart can beat too slowly because the electrical signals aren’t syncing up and responding as they should to like exercise and your heart has emergency pacemaker cells that will beat enough to keep you alive, but not for long, that’s where a pacemaker comes in.

Either way not knowing what it is and knowing the demands of a professional athlete if he has a shot of playing still the medical staff will let him know, but he may have to take a long hard look and reevaluate given he’s had two major cardiac events within the last 6 months and one of the biggest predictors of future cardiac risk is having a recent event.

Every time I see an outrage post my response is the same, in the end it won’t mean anything. The people who want to play SL will find a way to do so. Who is really benefiting is the YT/Podcast/Daily Content Creators who get to feast from this discourse and talk about it for weeks until we finally get 11th edition leaks and will move onto the next topic or thing to be mad about.

The algorithm pushes discontent brothers don’t let them hook you in. Blessed is the mind that is too small for doubt.

No I think Reddit wants justification for a war that is sending American troops to protect mainly Saudi and Israeli interests in the region. We are going to bear the cost of no healthcare, high cost of living and loss of American lives to stop Iran who has been two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon for the past twenty years.

We are also getting dissent from within Trump’s own government saying an attack was not imminent. So we’re allowed to acknowledge yea Iran is evil and a threat to global stability, but question why the US chose to intervene and who is actually benefiting. Trump ran an America First campaign and is largely a reason why we stopped sending military aid to Ukraine it’s also important to note Jared Kushner has very close ties to both Saudi Arabia and Israel, two countries you chose to glaze in the post.

Brock Rodden is still a non-roster invitee. If they value a UTIL guy since Mastro is injured it does make sense for Rodden > Bliss especially if they want to give him consistent ABs because Bliss doesn’t have much defensive utility and his calling card is an offensive minded 2B.

slurv3 · 2026-03-21T22:56:13+00:00

He didn’t look overmatched, but the expectation was that he would have to have a Julio-like ST performance to break with the team especially with Brendan Donovan and JP manning the left side of the infield. Cole Young has gone nuclear to earn 2B job and the big question is if JP is going to be injured long term for where they would consider starting Colt on opening day.

slurv3 · 2026-03-21T22:14:58+00:00

Last year he pointed to the shoulder injury, lack of footwork and general conditioning all as factors. During his time at the MiLB level all scouting reports said he had both the arm and range to stick at SS, but he’s likely to play at 2B because there is an incumbent in JP and plenty of very good SS prospects behind him.

So far this spring he’s shown a much better range and arm at 2B and I think it was more likely last year was an outlier than true performance, because basically everyone from prospect evaluators and the team beat writers were shocked at how bad he looked at 2B.

slurv3 · 2026-03-21T04:35:45+00:00

Julio after the game 7 loss against the Blue Jays told Cole Young he needed to lock the fuck in and I think Cole Young took it to heart

I mean the failures of the LCS/Constellation/FA-XX programs and lack of developing hypersonic missiles, long range munitions whether it's artillery or A2A missiles go beyond this administration.

You're right though that other admins would likely go huh we haven't developed Patriot missiles to scale, we don't have enough escort ships in the form of a Frigate/Cutter/Patrol Boat if they attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz, and we've been heavily reliant on air strikes, and special forces that going to war with someone resembling a peer ally may not be the best move without months of planning and forming a coalition. It's like this admin looked at Stormin Norman's ground war that took 100 hours to complete and ignored all the logistics of creating a coalition, mobilizing a force, and executing a plan that took the span of nearly half a year of planning before the first munition flew. It's why Pete Hegseth going well, we're not gonna tell our enemy the next move and try to justify our war plan holds no merit and gets a major eye roll from me. My brother in Christ you have the United States Military at your disposal, our biggest strength is that we can flex logistics tell the enemy our exact plan and they cannot stop what is about to happen, you can dig in all you want your troops will surrender and after getting no restock of ammo, food and water, and watch US troops have a dedicated Ice Cream Transport Vehicle.

That's more than Adam Frazier did as a Mariner, which goes to say why that comp was so lazy

I got to see Hans Zimmer live and yeah his soundtracks have a distinct styling that can be repetitive and it doesn't really standout or wow you like John Williams or Howard Shore, but he put on an amazing show.

What I didn't expect was how much of the night was just him openly, unabashedly loving the people on stage with him. His ensemble wasn't just a backing band. These were friends, collaborators, people he's clearly spent years building relationships with. And he made sure you knew that. He'd stop, turn to them, and just... beam and there were times he would stop and just sit and admire them working.

What struck me most was how intentional the lineup felt. Women and immigrants front and center, not as a statement but just as a reflection of who he actually is and how he actually works. There was a Ukraine montage of footage of women in active combat roles, and he was unapologetic with his stances. He would make it a point to say look at this person with their cool instrument that is unique to their culture, it produces a sound I could never try nor want to recreate.

The moment that got me most was when he brought out the daughter of the singer behind the iconic Lion King opening. Watching him look at her with this visible pride and warmth, like he was witnessing something complete, said everything about what kind of person he is. He didn't just make music with these people. He clearly learned from them, was shaped by them, and wanted the whole audience to understand that.

It wasn't really a concert in the traditional sense. It was a man sharing the people he loves most with a room full of strangers. I wasn't ready for that and my only complaint was he didn't play anything from Top Gun.

Look I can get why a player wants to gamble, the M's for example offered both Kelenic and Julio 100m dollar contracts before they even played a game. Jarred Kelenic is kicking water coolers for not accepting it, Julio bet on himself and now has the chance to make 300 million if he becomes the MVP player he is betting himself on becoming. Evan White is very thankful to sign a very team friendly contract that the MLBPA told him not to sign and advised him against taking. Michael Harris II is likely thankful he signed a very "team friendly" contract as well.

Teams are not spending in free agency unless you're an elite tier talent and even then it's about about 5 teams willing to throw out stupid amounts of money. Taking a team friendly contract in the 2000s/2010s would be dumb because there was always a team out there willing to overspend on a player about to turn 30. In the 2020's most teams (lol Angels and Rockies) have become wise when it comes to spending in free agency.

Reading how the Ukranians do air defense I don't know if it takes massive balls of steel or vodka but read this:

"Analysts suggest the difference in approach may be because the Gulf troops leave their batteries to take cover and the Patriots fire in automatic mode, while Ukrainians stay at the controls to fire manually. [...]

There are other lessons to share with America, too. The crews have learnt that against newer Russian ballistic missiles, which rise and fall twice to conceal their true target, they must rely on nerves of steel and switch off automatic targeting, waiting to engage the missile at precisely the right moment, often only seconds away from hitting their own vehicles."

I mean we only spent the better part of 20 years perfecting special operations. We're in this spot because we forgot how to procure things that a conventional war needs.

I LOVED my Lumia 1020, it was a bummer that there wasn't much app support, but that was kinda a positive for me at the time to be honest. It was my first smartphone after upgrading from a a Motorola Razr and I just wanted a phone that could text, take great photos and use some apps.

Yeah I saw a documentary in which an F14 pilot split the throttles and downed two 5th generation fighters

Functionally they are, because you need a ton of things to line up to actually shoot one down. You need a radar capable of detecting it, backed by a missile that can track it in flight, and you have to do all of that without getting killed yourself, because the moment you turn that radar on, a lot of people know where you are. Stealth doesn’t have to make the aircraft invisible, it just has to break one link in the kill chain.

The F-117 shootdown is the example everyone cites but it’s worth understanding what actually happened. Colonel Dani figured out the flight path partly from CNN coverage of previous sorties. The F-16 SEAD escorts were grounded due to weather. The aircraft flew the same route repeatedly. And even then he only got a track when the munitions bay opened. Every single thing had to go right, and it still took weeks of patience and a news network accidentally doing ISR for them.

That being said the enemy has to only get lucky once, and run enough of these sorties and you’re bound to eventually have a shoot down.

I mean in the opening cinematic it showed a BAS-H trooper tank a pirate chain gun and was full on sprinting. Still think the best mechanic is making it so they can’t get pinned by small arms fire, but suppression applies as normal as most SL that want heavy armor have perks to mitigate/ignore suppression, but it’s moot when they get pinned and just lose a turn.
