  1. Sure. But I’d still have sent them down and spot started him until Urquidy got back and saw where that took me.
  2. Yeah- I assume you have to pay it back when you refinance or sell but other than that it just sits there and does nothing.
  3. Have a 100% option for a free 3% up to 15k for the right kind of borrower. Fill in more as it develops.
  4. For sure. It actually is a win. Without the numbers being good for the market so I think everyone was just scared would be my take. The gauge from yesterday (PPI) got revised down like 0.4%. That's part of what started us on this idiocy of the past month. If the government could get their damn figures right and stop just absolutley spooking the market every time they release a mohterfucking report on jobs or inflation or the like it would be super helpful. Revisions don't move the markets like the initial headline numbers..
  5. Wouldn't exactly say it came in cool as I've seen some headlines, but came in at expectations- which the market found to be good stuff, more or less. Lot's of "in line with expectations". The Consumer numbers were brutal. Last months were revised down and this months were missed by like 1%. My guess is that's moving market some.
  6. I assume this is because of a LHP starting today (moving singleton down) but who knows.
  7. Episode 62 up. It’s not a work of art but neither is the subject matter. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3DLzMe8VuT8hFxeEbHhQC8?si=hLMFC9tiSaq8uTFzmwjkjw
  8. His second inning numbers kind of suck dick too.
  9. Glad we are going to a 6 man rotation so we can get Brown and Arrighetti out there every third day.
  10. So- 4 competent pitchers in a row and we go 3-1. So- awesome idea with the 6 man rotation- have to make sure we get non competitive starts 1 out of every 3 days. It’s not like we are 10 games under or anything.
  11. I mean- I’m pleased we got him if for no reason other than it caused us to get rid of Julks.
  12. And yet- gave up the booty a couple times in the worst possible time.
  13. The biggest driver is the luck can't stay bad forever and we are quickly approaching the time where we can have 1 Arrighetti or Brown start every other week if we don't act like pussies and just go to a 4 man rotation every time there is an off day. This team would be just fine if the clown squad only started 1 game every other week in total. Once Javier and Urquidy are back we don't have to start them ever again. Garcia and LMJ are both throwing off mound. Urquidy going to be in Corpus so 3putt can go see him down there and report back- get some luck and get rid of the horrific pitching that doesn't give you a chance and that's most of the battle. Mix in a couple series against teams under 500 (all but 5 games have been against teams over 500- and no- that's not b/c they've all beaten up on the Astros- even taking our series with them out of their record that would still be true), stop being on pace to be the worst team by 100 runs not scored with a 110 wrc+ in 3 decades (that's mostly dumb ass shit luck) and this team is above average. If the back end of the bullpen can start pitching like the back of their baseball cards again this team fucks. That's a lot of if's I guess but none of them are improbable. 1) Schedule will get easier- 100% 2) Enough pitchers getting healthy where we have few starts by scrubs- 85% 3) Better luck/runs scored matching how well we hit overall- 80% (if it's luck- slight chance that our guys- who have been to 7 LCS+ in a row are actually closet chokers but I'd bet no) 4) Back end of the bullpen being shut down like we thought- 50% That's it- that's the recipe. Might be too late. But that's the case for optimism.
  14. @Hank Chinaskiwouldn't shut up about the Lee trade last year. Maybe he's not as dumb as he looks. Also- amazeballs to see Maldy continue to be the worst player in baseball and get way more time than he deserves blocking a younger and much better player. Of course- it's the worst organization in baseball and maybe the second dumbesst (I think Colorado is likely the dumbest) so it doesn't exactly scream good things about us that we did the same last year.
  15. Ok- I want everyone to ponder what happened in the third. It’s like a fucking baseball riddle that’s almost impossible to do. a team gets a double, two singles, no Tootblans and no double plays and manages to score 0 runs- how does that happen? if you can correctly answer that you move on to question 2 which the astros did earlier this year- a team ended an inning with only 2 plate appearances in the top half of an inning- how does that happen?
  16. Meyers really must have fucked Espada's wife for something. Motherfucker can't start 3 games in a row even with success and hitting the ball hard.
  17. I got the same thing the other day. They sent me their bank statement with $4.5M in it. I told them to fuck off. Literally. Scumbags.
  18. Now do infield popups smart guy. Huh? He leads the world in those!
  19. I try not to read this thread very much. They are literally too stupid to interact with or give any thought to. That's not some sort of rivalry smack or anything like that. Hell, we eat our own around here and are harder on ourselves than maybe any other fanbase is on themselves. They just fundamentally aren't tethered to reality and are incapable of logical or consistent thought. It's pretty terrible to witness.
  20. I said at the time I’d like to have gone outside the organization for someone from another smart org for cross pollination or a different viewpoint/ or hired a guy that had proven they could handle a championship team. We did neither. we used to be on the cutting edge in looking for little edges. I don’t know that we are innovative anymore. we’ve also been incredibly unlucky(injuries and field of play) and to top it all off we’ve played exactly 5 games against teams with records under 500, and we are 4-1 in those games. just a perfect storm of shit but man, doesn’t feel like we will ever be able to recover this year.
  21. When Charlie strong was hired by UT Scipio wrote a preview book and he had like a choose your own adventure where he wrote “the optimists case for Charlie strong, the pessimists case for Charlie strong and Charlie strong middle ground or some such”. When we did our pod after Espada was hired that was kind of how we handled it- I sort of bitched a little and said- eh- who knows. Didn’t like it. Figured it would be better than Dusty and you couldn’t fuck this team up. I’m not saying it’s his fault, but he’s pretty clearly not the guy either.
  22. Agreed. That was my point in saying that- they will think they are getting the wrecking crew in reality they will get basic competence on that side of the ball, probably nothing special on the other side of the ball and finish in the middle of the conference, same as it ever was. they will probably be boring though- missing even the train wreck component of that hayseed Smurf they just gave 75M to fuck off.
  23. My suspicion is that they will be competent on defense.
  24. There’s a decent chance Loperfido will never be a good hitter at the mlb level and a better chance he won’t be right now. I’m fine with waiting for him to get everyday AB’s after we throw in the towel in 3 weeks and go to next year mode after Memorial Day.
