@JackFritzWIP Let me know when this holds come August. The season isn’t 20 games

Bryce’s numbers since the first home-stand of the season: .320 AVG/.409 OBP/.613 SLG/1.022 OPS 5 HR/5 doubles/12 walks

@snyyankees another cashman blunder. 40M commitment to a platoon player

Aaron Boone was asked what he's seen from Ryan McMahon at the plate: "Mac's a good major league hitter. It's 10 games in, okay? He's scuffling right now, but the reality is, the last three games, he's been on base four times too, with walks and hits and big at-bats. We want him to improve even who he's been obviously in his career, and he's off to a slow start right now, but a number of our guys are, as well. He'll get it rolling and trust that he will, especially against some of these good right-handed matchups."

@FeenyPhilly @975TheFanatic @InTheAlleyPod @975Unfiltered 5 yr ago, he was 28 in his prime Hes 33 YO w/ 1800 GP in his 15th yr. He’s averaged 128 gm/yr over the last 5 seasons. Most HOF players start to decline at 1800-2000 gm & no longer play to the elite status of their career It’s a SSS but not crazy to suggest he’s declining

@975TheFanatic @InTheAlleyPod @975Unfiltered Here are some numbers: 12 games 5/38 4 walks Anyone wanna guess who?

Jayson Stark shared a troubling stat about Bryce Harper when he joined @975Unfiltered "According to Statcast, there are 276 full-time players. Where would you guess that Bryce (Harper) ranks in average exit velocity in that group?.. How about 235th... I get that it is early, but doesn't it feel like that is an accurate depiction of how out of sync he has been?" 📸Mitchell Leff/Getty Images

You’re 35. Someone raises their voice and suddenly you’re 7 years old again, sitting at the kitchen table, trying to disappear. Your brain is literally reverting to the age you were when the original wound happened. Neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux at NYU found that your brain has a fear shortcut. Sensory information hits your amygdala (the brain’s alarm system) before it ever reaches the part that thinks logically. The alarm fires in about 12 milliseconds. Rational thought takes over 250. In someone carrying old trauma, the alarm wins every time. Your body reacts before your mind even knows what happened. Bessel van der Kolk’s team put trauma survivors in brain scanners and watched what happens during a flashback. Three things go wrong at once. The amygdala floods the body with stress hormones, preparing you to fight or run. The prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain that says “calm down, you’re safe, this is 2026,” goes quiet. And Broca’s area, the region that lets you put thoughts into words, shuts off entirely. Van der Kolk compared it to having a stroke. Trauma survivors sitting frozen and silent in emergency rooms aren’t choosing not to speak. The brain region for language has gone offline. The missing piece is the hippocampus. It’s the part of your brain that tags memories with a time and place, filing them as “this happened years ago.” Chronic stress hormones physically shrink it. MRI scans of PTSD patients consistently show this. When your hippocampus can’t do its job, your brain stops distinguishing a 20-year-old memory from something happening right now. That’s why a slamming door in 2026 can put you right back in a room from 1998. Your brain genuinely cannot tell the difference. The CDC ran the largest study on childhood trauma ever done. 64% of American adults report at least one adverse childhood experience. Those who had four or more were 12 times more likely to attempt suicide, develop depression, or struggle with addiction. The annual cost: $14.1 trillion. The good news: this isn’t always permanent. A study of PTSD patients found that after treatment, the hippocampus grew back by 4.6%. The part of the brain that files memories as “the past” can be rebuilt.

🚨 EPIC! Kash Patel put PRESIDENT TRUMP on the phone in Team USA’s locker room so that 47 could PERSONALLY congratulate them “Congratulations! That was an UNBELIEVABLE game! We love you guys!” “You’re going to be proud of that game for FIFTY YEARS!” “I can send a MILITARY PLANE to pick you guys up in Miami to come to the State of the Union!”

@Kekkama97 @thechosenberg Dudes gna making a couple hundred thousand per year. With a couple hundred thousand already saved. Well on his way to a 8-10M+ net worth by retirement if he continues saving aggressively. That’s better than 98% of people in the US. Absolutely something for him to consider

@thechosenberg He probably doesn’t need a prenup unless those investments and retirement are huge, but the fact that she instantly said no is a huge red flag. My GF was the one who proposed a prenup just to show she didn’t care about the money / planned to stick together for life.

Bro you make 165k you dont need a prenup lol

@thechosenberg 31 YO on his way to make a couple hundred thousand annually. And likely a 8 figure net worth by end of career if he invests aggressively. With several hundred thousand saved towards retirement / investments. Not sure why you’re downplaying the situation as if it’s not reasonable

@SleeperNFL @SleeperEagles @SleeperSeahawks The one that made Patrick mahomes look like drake maye. We all know the answer to this.

Which defense was better? 2024 Philadelphia Eagles 2025 Seattle Seahawks

@BloggingTheBoys And haven’t since 🤣

The Dallas Cowboys won Super Bowl XXX 30 years ago today. Happy Anniversary.

@MLBONFOX @fangraphs So same lineup. Great.

A look at the Yankees projected lineup with Cody Bellinger's reported return 👀 Projections via @fangraphs

@IncomeSharks @appodlachia Well you could. But doesn’t mean it’s feasible.

@appodlachia You can't throw money at drug addicts and mental disorders to suddenly solve it. Cities would have already solved it if money made a difference. There's only a small portion that are homeless soleless from just finances that are saveable

Cost to end homelessness in the U.S. is about $20-30 billion.

@RBPhillyTake 2/90 million. Bridges himself past the lockout. Can opt out at 29/30 years old and reenter FA. He signs his long deal then. He’s almost certainly going to exceed the 7/200 that Philly offered him.

1) The Phillies fumbled at the goal line 2) Bo Bichette is not very bright

@JohnStolnis Not willing to spend the price to get the deal done and being cheap aren’t the same. They blame the owner bc he said he’s gna spend stupid money. Stupid money is these high AAV contracts like Tucker and bichette, and he’s not willing to move off his structure of long year low aav

One argument about the Phillies I won’t accept is that they’re cheap and didn’t want to spend the money. They wanted to do this. They almost did. Bichette pulled the rug out from under them. You can argue their approach is old school and they got took, but they really tried here.

@JoeDeCamara Yeah it’s almost like the lineup has proven to not be good enough & they continue to look the other way wheeler is gna be 36 & coming off an injury they lost ranger the owner talks up spending stupid but puts DD on a budget every year Are you ppl living in fantasy land?

I think many people continue to overreact on the Phils. Disappointing to not have a big upgrade? Yes. But they were a great team in 2025 (4 more regular season wins than the 08 Phils; 5 more than the 80 Phils; 1 less than the 93 Phils). The ultimate key: to play better in October

@JohnStolnis Bc he can G himself 85M over 2 years and reenter FA at 30 YO and still get a 5-year deal. And it’ll be a 7 yr deal at the end of the day, for more money.

Honestly, I'm not sure how you turn down 7 years and $200 million for a shorter term, AAV deal.

@JackFritzWIP Dude really watched the last 3 offseason, with Middleton handcuffing DD with signing like merifield and kepler, and after they just traded Stratham for cap relief….. & really thought Middleton was gna go blow past the 3rd luxury tax threshold by 35M 🤣 talk about delusional

I'm sure the Phillies front office is mad right now, I just don't know where they pivot to. All that's left is Bellinger but I can't see that happening. And I don't really think there's an obvious guy to trade for. Doesn't seem like the DBacks will trade Marte. It's going to be JT.

@JackFritzWIP 🤣 at thinking the Phillies were gna outspend a team

They got used. I want to die.

@jcrew_eth @WallStreetApes No, they are entirely upfront in regard to it. You sign for it in your closing documents. It’s literally a math formula that will be static and never change. Just bc people don’t pay attention to it doesn’t mean it isn’t disclosed.

@WallStreetApes banks also dont tell you the interest you will pay over the entire term upfront either

@WallStreetApes Put more money down, get a cheaper house, move to a more affordable area, put more $ towards mortgage each month. There’s a ton of options to reduce this total payoff amount. The problem is that ppl don’t want to make the necessary sacrifices. Can’t always have the best of both

@WallStreetApes No kidding. If you put that same 1M into a self-funded acct that ppl can’t touch until retirement age, it’d be worth well over 5M. SS is a scam. Quickest way to financial independence is via compound INT. & if you can’t save individually, this would be the only other opportunity

This American’s mom just died and was going through her paperwork Her mom and dad paid in roughly $1 million combined into social security throughout their lives Her dad died before he could collect, her mom only collected for 4 years at 32k per year They got back $128,000 combined from social security before they both died after paying in a million This is a scam
