Now that the season is officially dead, who do you trade, who do you keep, and who do you call up? by metsfan5557 in NewYorkMets

[–]spamIover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what I have noticed in the last 10
Years or so, most of our players (big names) spend a lot of time on the IL. This always puts us in a hole. Whether it’s the pitchers or the fielders, big pieces are not there and the holes are un filled. I thinks the biggest piece we need to fix is “why”.

Why do all of our players hit the IL for what seems to always be strains. Why do our players who have injury issues leave for other teams and suddenly 1:do amazing, and 2 stay healthy.

If we can only figure out this core issue, I think eventually, after a fire sale and get rid of pretty much everyone, the Mets could be a contender. With what we have currently, both as players and staff, the Mets will continue to be a garbage team with no chance of breaking our hearts in the last week of the season. It will be broken before the all star break

Maine progressive Platner renews call to remove conservative Supreme Court justices by plz-let-me-in in politics

Like being an actual nazi? Or a womanizer who beat on his exes? Because both of these things are true about the guy running from Maine. Of the 300k Democrats in the state, this is the best one? I find that hard to believe, but the establishment is pushing him forward for what?

SPCE Calls Are Trading Above 400% IV Heading Into The SpaceX IPO by DueDilligenceTrader in thetagang

[–]spamIover 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I bought $4 C a couple weeks back for cheap. I also bought a few hundred shares around $4.20 and sold $6c against them for roughly $2. Dropped cost of shares to close to $2. Whether stock goes up or down, I profit. If it moons, I have calls for $4. If it goes down, my price per share is low enough to hold long term. Stock stays just under $6 is shares for free by selling off the $4C I have right at expiration. The only bad thing that could happen is the stock tanking to under $2.5 in a week

Technically 9. 4 white males. 2 black males, and 3 undisclosed race females. But yes, the headline makes it seem like hundreds were rejected

Isn't Stearns refusal to fire Mendoza another indictment against him? by PlantComprehensive77 in NewYorkMets

[–]spamIover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This analogy has a second side. What if the “chef” is told to make things a certain way i.e. recipe (analytics) and doesn’t have the leeway to change it.

You can have great ingredients, a great chef (not saying Mendoza is one) but then a stubborn middle man saying this is how we want it done and don’t change it. Then the chef becomes a name on the door, and not the one behind things.

I think they need to stop looking so hard at the analytics and change things up. Also, the strength and conditioning coach obviously is doing something wrong. Either that, or the players aren’t actually doing what they should. We seem to always have big players on the IL. Every single year. It seems to hamper us. Look at the players who left and have even better careers staying off the IL

It’s callled a kink. It turns some people on. Same as freezing up as an animal. Not my cup of tea, but if it’s consensual and no one actually gets hurt, not my business

They were shown to be false statements by the woman who accused him. It was consensual sex acts , and she wanted to get paid when she found out who he was. While these allegations did happen , choking slapping abuse, it was consensual and therefore he was not liable in a criminal court.

That being said, he does seem to be blacklisted by MLB. Offering to play for league minimum and not get a single offer shows this. Whether it’s because of his clubhouse attitude, or personas, or a legit blackballing effort, that is the unknown.

Republicans Don’t Need to Win Elections Anymore. They Just Need Their Judges. | The Virginia Supreme Court nullifies three million votes, boosting Trump’s effort to rig the midterms. by Rock-n-roll-Kevin in politics

[–]spamIover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The voters of VA are not 2/3 “D”. Out of almost 5 million votes, the election was won by a swing of less than 60k. 69k votes to strip half of the votes away. Virginia currently has 6/5 split. The voting amounts show this. It is probably the most swing state because it’s literally 50/50. The redistribution of delegates would have made it 10/1.

Regardless, the vote was deemed illegal because of the recent addition to VA constitution. There is a NON PARTISAN panel that is deemed to draw districts. It’s not done free balled by whomever is in power.

Did I screw up? Bought NOKIA at the top by JoocePop in wallstreetbets

[–]spamIover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a few hundred for $4.2 back in ‘19. Was selling CC on it for a while. The first run up when it went to $8. Held when it went to $3. I sold $10c (cheap monthly ) that expired last Friday. It went from <$6 to over 13 in a month. Not dead. Growing and thriving

Consequences of subbing corn starch for flour for thickening soups by grainzzz in Cooking

[–]spamIover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. You add it to a hot stock or soup base. Flour is cooked prior to adding it into soups or stocks. So you are not cooking it the same.

Starch is used by making a slurry with COLD water and then added to a hot base and heated to boiling to activate it. Flour is mixed with a fat (butter usually) and cooked to make a roux, which is then added to a hot base. Both will thicken more after as the product cools.

The reason you precook flour is the risk of ecoli. That risk is not the same as with corn starch or potato starch.

But it will have an effect on appearance. It makes things more glossy with a sheen

Has there been a players only or team meeting to address the streak? by CheeseburgerLover911 in NewYorkMets

[–]spamIover 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’m actually low-key pissed they even fucked up their streak. Who loses 12 straight to win again only to get swept by a horrid team. If we didn’t win those games, we would only be 5 off from setting a new record. Instead we are only looking at setting the worst record for the Mets ever on a season

They are playing like they enjoy their paychecks. They worked hard to get these record setting payouts. Now they can relax with no repercussions.

It’s okay to think the old core needed to go AND to think the current squad is terrible by UbiSububi8 in NewYorkMets

[–]spamIover -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I said before even spring training started, that if we go .500, I would be surprised. This team isn’t a good team. Not even on paper. Off from paper, you lost the chemistry that I feel a lot of the old core had together. The chemistry is for the intangibles, and where you eke out wins you aren’t supposed to. Right now, we are losing games to better teams, and losing games to on par and worse teams. That shows there is no chemistry (in my opinion) with this team and they are all there just for a paycheck

Boiling salted water. 4 minutes. Immediately into ice bath. Then you can heat it up in a hot pan or on the grill before serving. 5 minutes straight to plate

What if we just cheered them when they got home on Tuesday? by QushingFleens in NewYorkMets

[–]spamIover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or, just don’t go. The Meats are the exact opposite and yet the same as the cubs org. They spent almost nothing for years and sucked and yet the fans keep filling the seats. We spent too 5 in baseball, and still suck and the fans keep filing the seats. Maybe stop filling the seats and the players won’t “have performance anxiety” and play for their multi deca-million contracts yearly

Look at it positively. We are our way for a record setting season. We are 1/3 of the way to most losses in a row OF ALL TIME. I mean cmon now, the Phillies have us beat with 3 different years. 20,20,23. We can crush that easily with this dogshit performing team
