@Devoted2DET He's legit one that I would be totally comfortable with a long term deal. We've had a lot of shaky prospects come up but Kevin looks unphased

@TheAntOrtiz My goodness! How do you do 0 overall? Do you edit the existing players values to zero or use a special roster?

@Invest_Brandon Don’t forget to account for the 4:1 and then 10:1 splits in that timeframe.

If you put $100 into $NVDA in 2010, you would be rich today. Well... Let’s play it out if you somehow did nothing & held until right now. You would have $230 by the end of 2015 and did nothing Then watched that $230 climb to about $2,000 by the 2018 peak and still did nothing Then watched $2,000 get cut in half to under $1,000 in the late 2018 crash and still did nothing Then watched it rip to around $9,500 at the November 2021 peak and still did nothing Then watched $9,500 collapse to about $3,200 at the October 2022 bottom and still did nothing Then watched $3,200 explode to a little over $50,000 by late 2026 and for some reason finally decided to do something... Then yes, $100 in NVIDIA in 2010 would be worth a bit over $50,000 today. The lesson is the same. Everyone fantasizes about the final number. Almost nobody has the stomach to sit through the volatility to create that…

@bchapsports Are you worried about Paul Skenes being a starter too? His first start was worse

I hope Justin Verlander can make it through the entire season as a starter. (No, this is not an overreaction. This is a legitimate concern of mine.)

@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.

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.

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!

@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.

@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

@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.

@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…

@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.

I’ll never understand why there are people who think pitches this close shouldn’t be overturned by ABS The ball is touching the zone. It’s a strike. The player should be rewarded for challenging a pitch that close and being correct.

@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.

@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

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

The @tigers have the 2nd lowest cost for a family of four to attend an MLB game. Great baseball at an affordable rate. Best value in the game. Now it’s time to thank them by putting up the 5th 3,000,000 home attendance season in Comerica Park history. LFG! #DNMW
