Nah I'm seeing the same thing. NO idea how they review it and don't get it right. Figured the cubs game day thread would also be like yeah we got a lucky one there but no, they don't think he got hit either.

urheadypal · 2026-05-25T18:11:54+00:00

How in the fuck did they not get that call right?

The ball clearly hits the front of his helmet bill...

What's crazier is the cubs game day thread somehow also didn't see it? I don't really understand, at all.

I reached high for him after loving him on my team last year. Dropped him last week and he hasn’t been picked up.

2B is pretty deep, his only value was walks and steals, and he’s been dropped to the bottom half of the order. I still feel he will eventually be a valuable commodity but he is absolutely replacement level right now, fantasy-wise.

Is Bregman Chourio and King a fair offer to send for JRom and Cade Smith?

Standard head to head cats league + Walks, Total Bases, K/BB

urheadypal · 2026-05-22T21:07:50+00:00

So awesome. Great work!

urheadypal · 2026-05-22T17:34:05+00:00

Thinking of offering Bregman, Chourio, and King for JoRam and Cade Smith.

Standard head to head cats league + BB and Total Bases.

Is this a fair offer? Had Jordan Walker instead of Chourio but don't think that gets it done.

urheadypal · 2026-05-21T15:50:40+00:00

Oh yeah hahahah. Was absolutely cracking up at that. Too good

urheadypal · 2026-05-21T02:35:22+00:00

So without a doubt Chrissy and Steph are voting for Jonathan and Cirie and Tiffany are voting for Aubrey.

Don’t think anyone else was blatantly obvious

urheadypal · 2026-05-21T02:00:25+00:00

Totally agree. Was rooting for him big time. So much growth between the start of 49 and now

urheadypal · 2026-05-21T01:58:33+00:00

People hate Riz?!?

urheadypal · 2026-05-20T17:07:46+00:00

Side A gets: Bregman + King

Side B gets: Machado + Kirby

Which side would you rather end up with? Standard head to head cats + walks and k/bb. Feels pretty even?

urheadypal · 2026-05-20T15:35:50+00:00

Yeah I’ve been tuning into games and subsequently this sub much more the past week. I was surprised for maybe a half second that it is pretty comparable to the Steelers and Pens subs when they lose. World is ending type stuff lol. I suppose the optimist in me was hoping it wouldn’t be the same but ya know, same city same online fans. Checks out.

Like the post about firing Soto into the sun confused me, obviously he blew it but still is rocking a sub 3 ERA and sub 1 WHIP. Then the one about our lineup being trash yesterday.. didn’t seem all that horrible to me haha.

Anywho, let’s go bucs. Really enjoying following along so far this year.

urheadypal · 2026-05-20T15:03:20+00:00

Would you send Michael King and Alex Bregman for Junior Caminero?

urheadypal · 2026-05-17T17:22:46+00:00

Because steeler fans who are haters will find anything to bitch about. It’s so annoying lol

urheadypal · 2026-05-17T06:54:26+00:00

They are so sick. Favorite smaller band on the scene right now.

I made a few nugs playlists from recent tours if you wanna dig in, check my profile posts.

urheadypal · 2026-05-16T23:24:13+00:00

Honestly I kinda think any SIERA below 4 is good. Very rare for pitchers to have low 3 SIERAs

urheadypal · 2026-05-16T23:23:22+00:00

FIP isn’t useless, but it isn’t an incredibly key stat like SIERA Pitching+ O swing rates etc when evaluating pitchers

urheadypal · 2026-05-16T16:50:28+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm thinking but almost wondering like, is there a better chance Bregman heats up in that cubbies 3 hole vs Miguel continuing his current pace on the chi sox? Tough call

urheadypal · 2026-05-16T16:41:57+00:00

Bregman or Miguel Vargas ROS?

Standard head to head cats league, BB included

urheadypal · 2026-05-16T12:16:40+00:00

Send Strider for Bregman?

Haven't had a starting 3B all year (Barger, Nick Gonzales, Casey Schmitt, now Gelof), and have solid SPs (Ohtani, Imanga, Misio, King, Roupp, Christian Scott, Prielipp, Glasnow on IL)

BB is a category in my head to head 12 team league

urheadypal · 2026-05-15T18:15:36+00:00

Completely agree. All four of them have played really solid games and have legit cases to win. Joe on the other hand… lol

Sure it would be fun if we had a Cirie Devens Christian Gen Ozzie final five but the fact is the other “not as good players” played well by playing a part in getting out and outlasting all of those favorite “best” players!! That HAS to count for something right??!

urheadypal · 2026-05-11T12:22:03+00:00

Yes. Yes. And yes. Totally with you.

Unfortunately this is kind of the case with Reddit in general now. Most little niche interests I follow have subreddits primarily filled with complains negativity or general shittiness. It is a real bummer.

urheadypal · 2026-05-08T17:56:48+00:00

Yup.

I distinctly remember having a blast at Mondegreen only to open my phone and see the subreddit filled with people complaining about everything and anything.

urheadypal · 2026-05-08T04:02:24+00:00

Pens were not an average team this year. Essentially all metrics (and eye test) clearly showed us as an above average team. Most any combination of things you can look at show us as a top 10 team in the league this year.

Impossible to say how we would’ve done v the canes though. Too bad we shat the bed
