This whole Jaden Ivey situation is truly sad.
Hopefully he can get the help he needs.

@stockpickz_hq @theficouple The one million could also be worth $750k after year one chasing that "conservative" return.
English
@theficouple Curious about your reasoning here?
$1M can spin off $70k on year one at a conservative 7% return, and it only compounds from there.
English
If someone offered you $1 million of cash or $6,000/mo for life?
Take the $6,000/mo for life every time.
Absolute no brainer.

@InnocuousShark @Jdowney1209 @Brett_A_Taylor Comparing ABS to umpires adds nothing to a conversation on how accurate ABS just so you know
English
@b19hoffman @Jdowney1209 @Brett_A_Taylor And you think the cameras have a higher margin of error than a human? You really truly believe that?
English
I understand why folks feel ultra-mega-close calls shouldn't be overturned or whatever, but you have to draw the line somewhere. And wherever you draw it, there'll be edge cases that people can beef about. 1/4 inch buffer zone? Guess what: sometimes it'll hit 0.0001 of that, too!
Codify@CodifyBaseball
about as close as it gets
English
@InnocuousShark @Jdowney1209 @Brett_A_Taylor I'm not sure what grade level your education is at but most educated people understand what a margin of error is. A lot of Americans are stupid so it might be confusing for them at first too but I have faith they will get it eventually.
English
@b19hoffman @Jdowney1209 @Brett_A_Taylor So you want the stadium to show a graphic that says the ball was in the zone, but then say “it was only a strike by 1/6th of an inch, so actually it’ll still be counted as a ball”?
Brilliant idea
Tech doesn’t have to be perfect, but has to be better than humans, which is easy
English
@Jdowney1209 @Brett_A_Taylor If the system has a publicly stated margin of error of 1/6th of an inch than calls within that margin shouldn't be overturned. It's very simple. Concerning how much people blindly trust technology assuming it is always perfect.
English
@Brett_A_Taylor The crazy part to me is that people are basically arguing against consistency and accuracy. And the argument about umpires getting embarrassed is wild to me too. They should be held to the highest standard. It’s ok to be wrong, just not as wrong as Angel was…
English
@RyanScott717 @BaseballWRLD_ A little bit of research shows that the margin of error is 1/6 of an inch which is quite a lot. I think it is important on calls being overturned on 1/10 of an inch. The system could be wrong on those.
English
@b19hoffman @BaseballWRLD_ Those doubts come from ignorance. The system is that precise. It's fine.
English
@RyanScott717 @BaseballWRLD_ I think it stems from doubt that the abs system is surgically precise enough to get calls that close correct. I am in favor of a buffer zone to prevent challenges on super close calls like the one above. I think abs should be for clear mistakes but I understand your position too.
English
@BaseballWRLD_ Dude I just got into a 15 reply long conversation about that on here. I don't get it either. No argument against it that anyone has made, has made sense yet. The call was wrong. It was corrected. That's objectively a good thing
English
@TalkinBaseball_ For those wondering no he did not do it right away. He touched the side of his hat which does not count as a TAP ON THE TOP
English
Ryan Helsley successfully challenged this 3-2 call to strike out Josh Bell in the ninth, but Twins manager Derek Shelton didn't think he did so fast enough
English
@WiscoGrant @Wisconajb So your advice to baseball players is to swing at balls??
English
CB Buckner blows but swing the bat dude this is some hokey pokey nonsense
Shelfy@RealShelfy
Absolutely electric lmao CB Buckner noticeably annoyed when he tapped the 2nd time only to be wrong again and listen to 40,000 people cheer for his incompetence 😂
English
@alexhatherley @MarcRyanOnAir @tigers Gotta get used to the post COVID inflation world because prices are never going down. The US money supply expanded too much
English
@MarcRyanOnAir @tigers That’s just pointing out that everything is absurd
English
@Miggysbat I hate him batting leadoff. Makes no sense to me at all.

The White Sox took Jacob Gonzalez 22 picks before Kevin McGonigle.*
*A team that’s spends $250 million on payroll should not be getting extra picks in a “Competitive Balance” Round
MLB@MLB
Kevin McGonigle comes through on the 10th pitch of the at-bat 😤
English
English
@zoidbergererer @CodifyBaseball So the sox are as bad at knowing the zone as bucknor
English
@CodifyBaseball Not to mention the Sox were out of challenges early in the game, otherwise there'd have been like 8-10 more
English
@WayneWaldropW @bucks_zone6 So you just admitted to tax fraud?!?! If you do things right then you would have nothing to worry about.
English
@bucks_zone6 I literally have small businesses and have had to worry about this lmao.

Then stop going after us over $600 Venmo payments.

It’s honestly impressive how awful this booth was

April 1, 2021: Miguel Cabrera hit a home run on #OpeningDay in the SNOW. He hilariously slides into second base, unsure if it’s a homer.

@DividendBreeder Nobody gives a shit about 3 month performance numbers. Dividend stocks will underperform on total returns long term

A lot of people were quick to bash $SCHD last year. Meanwhile, I kept adding.
See YTD performance:
$SCHD +10.4%
S&P500 -5.6%
NASDAQ -7.9%
Bitcoin -22.9%

@HeltJason @BrewersBabes They don't though. Multiple times I have called because their IP location software made a mistake and the reps say they will get in trouble if they override it
English
@BrewersBabes I had the same issue with mobile. Check your ip address. Call mlb support and they can manually override your ip location.

@GiovanniDamario @ThHappyHawaiian Did you hit your head really hard as a child?
English
@ThHappyHawaiian Well the S&P was 1000-1500 during those years .. does that answer your question?

Why was $100-$120 Brent fine from 2011-2014
But now in 2026 when vehicles are more fuel efficient, we have much higher renewable usage, and the inflation adjusted price is much lower,
Is the economy totally at risk from $100-$120 Brent?
