I had Covid, so I didn't rush out to get the vaccine...once it was plentiful enough that I wasn't going to take a shot from somebody that needed it more I got stabbed. But I'm less concerned about people that had it not getting vaxed (even though they should). There is good data that mRNA antibodies are "better" than natural antibodies, but if it doesn't show up in reinfection rate vs vaccinated infection, I'm not sure it matters that much. The remaining problem isn't really those folks, it's the ones that haven't had it and won't get the vaccine.

I make the Texas number 8 if anybody cares, so there isn't a play there for me. Disclaimer: I'm good at college basketball and the NFL (and lately MLB but the track record is shorter). If you've followed my plays here in those sports you shouldn't attribute any of that to college football, which I borderline suck at.

Brewers -111 Indians -133

We only play one FCS and the other two non cons are on the road...so getting to two wins is going to be pretty tough, it's why the under has been beat up to those prices. If it gets north of +200 there is probably some value on the over. You'd be expecting them to get the FCS win and spring a surprise at home among Tech, K-State, or WV...not impossible for 2/1. This conversation is really depressing me. Who needs a drink?

Year to date...

I can’t imagine anybody that thinks ride share is a worse experience in Austin than cabs were. If your cab experience (for any price) was positive here, I’ve gotta assume you did only the airport and back and stopped in about 98.

You might be the highest paid Uber driver in Austin.

I countered one a couple weeks ago, the centerpiece of your trade offers were Scherzer and Buehler, but they didn't provide enough value in return. So, I removed an SP whose use would only be matchup dependent for me and included one of the Toronto SPs and sent the trade back...by my numbers that one made us both a little bit better. I didn't counter the other one (Diaz+ for Hendricks), because there was no way you'd take it. Those guys are pretty close together skills wise, but Hendricks plays in a division with 3 dogshit teams, so he's got quite a bit more value fantasy value even with very little in real life. The inclusion with Diaz was a waiver wire trash SP that I wouldn't even use. I'd want a bat or better SP there, and you wouldn't (and shouldn't) do it...so there's not much there. It's June. People not panic selling to make your team better doesn't make them idiots. My hitting is a reasonable example...between injuries and cold starts I was dead last in HR and RBI by a bunch. It wasn't all bad luck, I didn't expect the run environment to be so muted, so in hindsight I'd draft hitters a little differently. But spending Memorial Day selling off guys with track records for dudes with 120 good ABs would have been stupid, so I didn't.

Diamondbacks +170

The old pro also doesn't have WiFi 6, if that's matters to him.

That's true, but JSB is comparing the new Eero with old Eero Pro. The newer version (Eero Pro 6) is their flagship and has all the featured. It's fantastic, but it's also $600, which runs counter to him trying to do it on the cheap.

Braves +123 Mets -128

I haven't looked at anything, yet. If you can get KU under 1.5 for even money, you almost have to play that. Non cons are FCS, @Coastal Carolina, and @Duke so there isn't a sub 2 TD spread anywhere on the schedule for potential win #2. To argue with myself...I don't know if I've thought about it enough, but it feels like super low win totals in a transfer portal world with instant eligibility seems riskier than in the past. If KU finds a couple guys and some Buffalo players come over, there is a world where they're not THAT terrible and you're holding a sweat ticket.

Braves +141 Astros -116

Everywhere has slowed down on drivers and wait times have gone up. Orlando and Milwaukee in the last couple of months have been far worse than Austin or DFW for me.

Angels +115 Athletics -105 I also lean Brewers but it seems my gambling super power is making them lose as medium favorites...think I might have them slightly overrated.

Everything is so clean. F150 photo shoot? Nice. Glad you got paid.

Let's see which team will give up a big inning in extras today..... Brewers -135

Yeah, but it’s not overrated, because that’s how everybody rates it.

Nationals +122
