  1. McCann approaching dropping below .270 BA on the season. You can't count on him to start next year. He's a VG backup though.
  2. You know what else Rodgers and Mahomes had? A decent offensive coach to learn from while they sat for a year(or in Rodgers' case, 3) This is what I was getting at.
  3. Seek justice for Flint, MI then. That whole situation is incredibly fucked up. Do some research. It will shock you.
  4. Then as a logical extension, we should execute CEOs and politicians who knowingly poison an entire city, no? There are known and unknown long-term effects of lead poisoning.
  5. Moncada is YoYo-ing above and below .300 from game to game. (Pun intended)
  6. Part of having a good credit score is having a high income. You could be really good at paying your bills, but if you don't have a high income your credit still generally stinks.
  7. I don't know how my credit is. I've never checked it. I've rolled over a balance on my credit card but always have gotten it to zero balance eventually. I have never missed a payment on my student loans, and I successfully completed my one private student loan.
  8. The car mechanic stuff, I can't do. I don't know how to do it, but I'd love to learn. I feel horrible because I have a neighbor who is a gearhead, he likes me, has a son close to my age and I could've been in his garage as a teenager learning this shit. Because I live at home, I've asked my parents repeatedly to let me fix my own car. I have youtube and a reference book 3 doors down the street. They won't let me because they want me to be safe. I don't appreciate them treating me like a child. With the other stuff, I know how to do it to a certain extent, but not nearly well enough to actually do it. I know a lot of how to do that stuff in theory but not in practice. I can read all of the books I want and watch all of the videos I want but unless I actually have the hardware to do it, I can't honestly sell myself to someone as an expert. Some of this stuff I've done a little bit with my cousin but not enough to have confidence in myself to feel like an expert.
  9. 100% with you. I was hopeful with his improvement in AAA, but his bat is still too slow. Saying not a productive MLB hitter is probably giving him too much credit. We all complain about Engel but Collins has no chance.
  10. Ok. I was hopeful Collins had turned a corner but he still sucks. You can't hit in MLB if a pitcher can pump in 93-95 mph fastballs and you can't catch up. On a different note, that's the most Adam Engel hit ever.
  11. People were expecting him to hit .270+ and he's hit .250. They were expecting more walks, not an OBP hovering around .300. That's where the disappointment comes from.
  12. He's not the same guy that he was the first half and if you think he's the same guy I want some of what you're smoking. You're not wrong about the secondary pitches for him. It's about staying on top of his breaking balls and changeup. All of them are decent pitches, but he was incredibly inconsistent with them within starts and from start to start. His secondary pitches have been much more consistent in the second half. It isn't even close. It's like night and day.
