I started Station Eleven. We are 3 episodes in and I can't figure out if I like it or not. Real weird and I have no idea what's happening at times, or why things are happening or who people are. Yellowjackets with an awesome finale. I guess I was wrong about Jackie, and honestly I think it's lame to have her story end like that. Wouldn't survival instinct kick in and just get your ass in the house? Seemed a bit farfetched that her pride let her freeze to death. And Book of Boba Fett?? Honestly....not enjoying it very much. It's fine, I'll keep watching, but I just don't find it that fun. That awful chase scene with the Power Rangers kids was so cringey. Terrible CGI with characters/outfits/vehicles that didn't fit the Star Wars universe at all. Totally took me out of it and reminded me that Disney owns the IP. I've been way more excited about the Obi Wan series than I ever was about this Boba series, but now my expectations have fallen a bit since Madalorian.

Yea, you're right. So they went to National's instead of going to Prom. And Prom would typically be like mid-late May. Homecoming would be mid-late September. So they are probably at about 4 months right now, which would make sense with the one girl's baby bump starting to show.

Yea, I want to say it's been like 2 months so far? I agree, some sort of timeline would definitely help. I love the show so far, but I have a LOT of different ways I would have approached this survival so far. Maybe it's the fact that it's a bunch of HS girls who don't think the way a grown ass adult would, but there indifference to exploring or seeking out help has been very frustrating so far. Obviously a handful of them survive, but I find myself throwing my hands up at the screen every time I see them all just hanging out at the cabin for an entire day. Also, I totally think Jackie makes it out of there. I think they are pushing really hard for us to think she died out there. I do think it's possible she's dead in the present timeline, but I think she either died AFTER they made it out, or she disappeared and survived in hiding this entire time. I just have a very very hard time believing she died in the wilderness based on how much they want us to think that's the case.

Are we ready to talk about Dexter fucking up the ending AGAIN??

The fact that they think Vera has the best fastball (100 mph, I think?) AND the best control in the organization is very exciting. That's not usually a combination you see in a prospect.

Still wouldn't have fit the $4M I had left on my budget. 🤷

@bmags Hill just got $5M base salary, with up to $8M if he pitches 160+ IP.

If choosing to ignore half of the comment helps you think you made a good point, then I'll give you that charity; it's the Holidays after all.

So you don't prefer that they signed Baez over Correa? Interesting hot take.

Hahaha yessssss. Much rather have the Tigers blow their wad on a streaky up-and-down bat like Baez than get someone like Correa.

I think only White Sox fans think Conforto is going to get anything near $100M. Seems a lot of people think he will get a 1 or 2 year deal.

Trading Kimbrel for Segura would free up..... merely $750K. What am I missing here? Am I going crazy?

I still don't understand how $750K is what you would call payroll flexibility. 🤷‍♂️

Segura has $1M buyout. So his cost is really $15.25M vs Kimbrel at $16M. I wouldn't exactly call that payroll flexibility. If Kimbrel turns in to Segura, then it was a bad decision to pick up his option while declining Cesar Hernandez's option and adding $9M to the payroll in the process. That $9M could be the difference in adding Rich Hill or some other veteran arm to the rotation.

If the Sox do actually set a budget at $200, that would certainly help out my off-season plan by keeping Keuchel and then bumping up the contracts on Starling Marte and Collin McHugh up a few million to where I originally had them pegged before I had to goose the numbers down to fit $175M.
