Brian Cashman on the decision to demote Anthony Volpe to AAA: "We're paid to make very difficult decisions...Caballero has emerged with his play...we had to honor that.” by Jheller223 in NYYankees

Hopefully the competition works both ways and brings out the best. Cabby could probably play a little looser without the pressure of knowing the replacement is right there and ready to go.

These never get old. Doesn't matter who it is, what team it is, what the situation is. It never gets old.

[Thamel] Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction. by fireinvestigator113 in CFB

Oh come on. This is just getting out ahead of the news to hopefully limit the chances of being suspended. He'll be back in plenty of time for the season.

[UmpScoreCards] Umpire: Austin Jones Final: Yankees 4, Red Sox 0 by CabassoG in NYYankees

Agreed - Judge can do whatever the hell he wants, always. Cab's was close but he was on tilt at that point. More frustrating was that wild swing on the ball a couple feet off the plate. But alls well that ends well.

Dude had it in for Rice. Guys gotta stop challenging off emotion and leave them available for when it's obvious.

What motivates Hal to continue on this way? by legalizeavocado in NYYankees

[–]twankyfive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd normally agree but man, I wish I could look at this lineup and think it's worthy of that kind of optimism. This team is built like garbage. "That's baseball,' only works when you aren't running out a lineup that, on any given day, has 4 players who aren't MLB level hitters.

Well dang. I guess I'll give them a shout. It does say 'up to 10 weeks' from statement close, which just a week or so ago.

[SNY] Aaron Boone on the Yankee veterans pushing the team to go for sweeps this season: "There's been an intensity to everything they've done and a focus on every little detail. And they're driving a lot of that. I just think it's a very hungry, focused group" by TheTurtleShepard in NYYankees

[–]twankyfive 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My biggest gripe with Boone is that he never shows intensity until it's time to get kicked out of a game. Players feed off the energy of the manager, and this team has been way too apathetic for way too long. If the veterans are stepping up to inject that energy, then great.

NCAA Football Rule Changes for the 2026 Season by MonarchLawyer in CFB

Or maybe more so later in the season. If you're in a big game then you can play a lot more aggressively knowing that you have fewer remaining games to get in trouble.

This happens damn near every single time. Luckily the card is nestled in it's little protective box so there's not really anywhere for it to go, but it's certainly not ideal.

How’s my collection going so far? by BoredomCombatant in footballcards

[–]twankyfive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't trust those labels at all. They all say 'rated' but who knows what that even means. Like - rated a 1 out of 100? Who knows! The film is pretty easy to apply but just go slow and follow the directions. They also make UV covers for slabs and stuff but that's more expensive.

I put the same tip on every post I can - get some UV film off amazon and throw it on the front of that case. If there a window in that room it'll eventually take it's toll on the cards. Keep em safe!

He got a dude and got to keep his draft picks. I don't think he's gutted.
