  1. Man that was ideal from a pitching usage perspective. 7 scoreless from Framber with less than 100 pitches. Only used Martinez in relief. Everyone else gets some much needed rest.
  2. Update after today's marginally-cooler-than-expected CPI print: DJIA +349 tp 39,908. ATH S&P +61 to 5,308. ATH Nasdaq +231 to 16,742. ATH.
  3. A walk-off in extras despite our pitcher getting ejected after 3 IP and going 0-9 with RISP in regulation? Hader comes in and throws 2 spotless innings, stranding the ghost runner in the Top of the 10th? Things seem to legitimately have changed for us. That's a game we lose 100% of the time back in April.
  4. Knock on wood, but I've had a good run since this post. No injuries or illnesses since then and been averaging 5 days/week in the gym. I've been working out pretty steadily for close to a year and half, and I've pretty much giving up on "losing weight" and am fully focused on body recomposition. Started out around 210 (6'0) and probably close to 30% body fat. Just plain out of shape. I've plateau'd right around 195 for close to 6 months now, but slowly, steadily increasing the share that is muscle vs. fat. I'm never going to be described as "slim," but that's really not the look I'm going for anyways. At my age and build, I'd be quite happy with ~190 and ~18%. Not there yet, but a lot closer than I used to be.
  5. Sell in April, buy it all back in May? Nasdaq closed at a new ATH today at 16,511. S&P at 5,246 is back to within 8 points of previous ATH set on 3/28/24. DJIA back up to 39,555. Still on the hunt for 40K. Closest we've come is 39,807 back on 3/28/24.
  6. 9-6 in our last 15. Just keep stringing together more W's than L's and let the chips fall where they may.
  7. Alright, 9-2. Let's wrap it up.
  8. If you're looking for a sci-fi series to watch, all 4 seasons of Battlestar Galactica (the 2000's version, not the campy 70's original) were just recently added to Prime. Incredible show.
  9. Related note, I have watched this video at least a dozen times, and I still can't get through it without cracking up.
  10. Judging by how it looks outside my office window, bout to get nasty in Houston within the next 30 minutes or so.
  11. Nerd Alert. Anime thread being bumped. Finally finished AOT earlier this month. Was watching 3-4 episodes a week during workouts. Took me several months to finish at that pace, but really enjoyed it. Demon Slayer is finally back. First episode of new season dropped last night. Planning to watch this afternoon. New episodes coming out Sunday nights the next few weeks. In the meantime, started a promising new series last week. Kaiju No. 8. Currently just 5 episodes available, releasing weekly. Full first season won't be out until end of June.
  12. Attaboy JV. Exactly what we needed today. Now lets please get 6 more outs without any major drama. Maybe tack on another run or two for good measure.
  13. Well, I guess if you're going to go BB, BB, HBP, it's best to do it with nobody on, 2 outs.
  14. ^^^^ And Dana said our problem was the bats getting off to a slow start!!!!
  15. Just looked it up. We're among the worst in MLB in every important pitching stat. 5.07 ERA (28/30) 165 BB (28/30) 1.49 WHIP (29/30) .260 BAA (25/30) 8 blown saves in 13 opportunities. Tied with Marlins for worst save percentage in MLB.
  16. Final 2 "fastballs" came in under 90.
  17. Would have been nice to have Bielak come in and eat a few innings as today's long relief whipping boy.
  18. How many firings we expecting this season? Espada? Pitching coach?
  19. That'll do it. Night y'all.
  20. Are you under the impression it's my call?
  21. I think it's just a scheduled day off. Don't think Tucker has sat out a single game yet. Edit: Yeah, he has appeared in 38/38 games this season.
  22. Haha. Post ended up going viral after someone posted it on Reddit. The next day the guy was like "Boy I really stepped in it. While my message was good, my delivery was clearly tone-deaf..." All the replies to that post were basically "Jesus Christ, it's not the delivery, your message was dog shit, you pathetic corporate simp..."
  23. Been helping out on some Permian work again lately for the first time in a little while. Keep seeing leases that have these specific provisions where they can't be assigned to CHK, Endeavor, or any entity affiliated with Autry Stephens. I've run across similar provisions several times in various leases over the years. Anyone know the exact story on that? Feels like it only ever applies to those specific companies
  24. Welp, as of lunch today, I've got a new unpaid, thankless side job. I'm now in charge of "managing" our deer lease. Met with the guy who's been the point man for our group the last few years, but he never has time to go out anymore, and has been wanting to pass the torch and implied he may drop out entirely. No possible way this can backfire and end up being a pain in the ass! Brother and I's new stand should be ready fairly soon, so first order of business will be heading out sometime in the next few weekends to drag it out there and hopefully we can convince a couple of the other guys to come out for a minor work weekend to do some brush clearing and beer drinking.
