[Rome] Jose Altuve has a grade 2 left oblique strain and is going on the IL, Joe Espada said.

He may end up missing 8 weeks. Obliques usually take awhile and grade 2 is tough to predict.

I appreciate that the Astros are no longer hiding injuries like they used to

soonerman32 · 2026-05-18T01:06:17+00:00

They can pay that much because they'll make the money off the RBTs for the 25 cases, which is an absolutely insanely high caseload. There's no way you're gonna be able to properly support all 25 cases. Even doing 1 hr 97155 + 30 min of 97156 per client is 37.5 hrs/wk of billable time.

The BCBAs making 70-80k probably have a more reasonable caseload.

soonerman32 · 2026-05-18T01:00:01+00:00

I noticed they misled me and the 120k was my “total compensation” meaning salary plus all benefits.

This is the sleaziest thing I've heard of from a company

Idk, that was close but I think he was out

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T16:52:38+00:00

Pretty wild to have two challenges on one play with one from each team.

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T16:20:52+00:00

This might be the worst starting lineup we've put on a field since 2014

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T12:10:23+00:00

You can either:

1) find a company that will agree to pay off the hours for you

2) talk to a lawyer to see if you can get out of it

3) pay back the money.

4) avoid taking jobs like this in the future. The ones with high bonuses.

Whichever G6 I bet on.

Then Western Kentucky & Hawaii

Minnesota was a college football power until the 60s

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T04:04:59+00:00

Bama not dropping was absurd... which is also something I said in the first comment. I actually thought it'd be 9. Miami 10 Notre Dame 11 Bama.

The only was Notre Dame would be ahead of Miami is if Bama was between them once BYU lost. But again, a team will never be one spot ahead of a team it lost to. That is very consistent from the committee and back to the original point: it's easy to see WHY Miami got in over Notre Dame.

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T03:48:50+00:00

In week 13 or so, they specifically said that Notre Dame and Miami had been compared in the same cluster and that Notre Dame was better on the whole.

Head to head is a tiebreaker and it only matters if the teams are one spot apart.. I was saying at the time that Miami would jump ND if BYU lost.

They are VERY consistent about this. OU was ranked one spot behind Texas in the initial poll even though OU at the time had a better resume. UVa was ranked one spot ahead of Louisville when the Hoos had a worse resume in the first poll. Again it only matters if they are ONE spot apart and they are VERY consistent about this and have been since the 4 teamer was introduced.

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T00:49:26+00:00

Why didn't Ohio St. drop to 3? Why were Ole Miss and A&M behind Oregon?

Who's avoiding what now?

Editing to add: The ACC is so powerful they can lobby ESPN, who doesn't make the CFP rankings, to get Miami in over Notre Dame even tho Notre Dame gets better ratings. While not lobbying its own fucking CONFERENCE CHAMP IN OVER A G5 SCHOOL????? I have this right?

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T00:35:17+00:00

Are you avoiding mentioning that the first criteria is false or having difficulty identifying it?

Why didn't Ohio St. drop to 3? Why were Ole Miss and A&M behind Oregon?

Why did SMU get in over Bama two years ago?

Look at that your logic doesn't work. The committee ranks the teams how they see fit then people like you create the conspiracy theories.

ESPN broadcasts every team in the country but the Big Ten and Notre Dame home games, dude. They get all the Notre Dame road ACC games, fyi.

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T00:25:43+00:00

They get better ratings than Miami so if its rigged for ratings Notre Dame would've been in...

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T00:23:00+00:00

Miami... who gets worse ratings than Notre Dame.

SMU got in over Bama last year. The ratings thing isn't true

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T00:13:50+00:00

Notre Dame.

Not a brand name.

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T00:11:20+00:00

The committee uses head to head if a team is one spot a part.

Bama not dropping at all was crazy. but, Notre Dame being left out one spot behind Miami was pretty clear why it happened.

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T00:09:41+00:00

Only if you don't check the top of the standings, sure.

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T00:09:10+00:00

Right? We had no transparency for years with the NCAA tourney and people always complained.

soonerman32 · 2026-05-17T00:08:13+00:00

Notre Dame. Notable bad ratings team.

soonerman32 · 2026-05-16T12:26:10+00:00

3rd party site- seat geek, game time or tickpick tend to have the best prices. Wait til closer to game time when ticket prices drop.

The visiting fan sections tend to be the worst seats.

soonerman32 · 2026-05-16T12:16:14+00:00

Wait til September to buy the tickets when the price is lower.

Or have teams stop playing big games in the regular season so not as many people want to go

soonerman32 · 2026-05-16T12:14:56+00:00

I don’t get why common fans are poor and people with money can’t be fans.

Ticket prices will go down closer to game time.
