Who here had it? Not trying to debate what it is but just curious.
My son gave it to me in Feb. I felt it for a couple days and was like “how funny/unfunny would that be if I was always downplaying it and then it gets me”.. luckily passed quick though
Was genuinely nervous couple days
I guess it’s no surprise I march to the beat of my own drum but in terms of navigating the app for lineups, adding players, and checking the scores, it’s Yahoo for me and not even close
Re-visiting Jim’s question, would you be crazy to take Vlad 1st round in 12 team re-draft if it was today? The correct answer appears to be “no, not crazy”
Tempering expectations was prob the issue in the first place. It’s still entirely debatable that Vlads weight loss is the reason for the bust out. The computers didn’t know anything about Vlads off-season exercise program and had him on his way to being star bat this year. Tatis and Acuna were the prob the biggest reason for raising the bar; being a star out of the wrapper
No doubt his weight loss would help with moving around on the bases or defense
The difference with Kluber at least was reports said like every team offered a similar contract. With the other guys, just a few teams were seemingly in the mix for the gamble.
Paxton especially, everyone passing on $8m is pretty revealing
Yeah that’s how that stuff happens. He was committed to going in standing up and then made awkward attempt at slide; or happens vice versa. Throw definitely shouldn’t have gone to 2b but that stuff happens I guess
They better not sit Vlad tomorrow for rest. Or Bo. There’s a lot of 22yo that go out boozing all night and have to be to work in the morning. Take him out now if anything
