    Vacation/Travel Thread

    July 29th my best friend is getting married in New York and me and my buddy plan on driving instead of flying. The 29th is a Saturday but we plan on heading out that way Thursday morning. What are some cool stops along the way? Niagra Falls and the Statue of Liberty are a given.

     

    We are both love food and after spending the next 5 months dieting and exercising we have definitely decided to make stops at awesome restaurants along the way, so if you have any favorite spots I would love to hear about them.

     

    Sucks that the Sox are playing Cleveland that weekend, but in Chicago. Would have been nice to catch the game in Cleveland.

    Omega might not be a pipe dream after all. Last week he tweeted that he is leaving Japan to reassess his future.

     

    Now I suppose he could just do RoH and other Indy shows but he is a legend out there in Japan, and can still work Japan and US if he wanted to.

     

    Just a feeling, but Omega has said he has had a long standing NXT offer, but my guess is he wants to go straight to Raw/Smackdown like AJ did. I think all the trash he talked about the WWE is a work that's gonna make a surprise debut pretty f***ing epic.

     

    I would have Gallows and Anderson come out and celebrate with AJ after he beats Cena and then turn on him . Then out comes Kenny as the leader of the club........................Then out comes Balor, like heyyyy did you guys forget about me??? Sets up AJ/Omega/Balor for Mania......OK last part is prob a pipe dream for now anyway.

    I haven't even read the spoilers for the tapings yet. Basically once wwe or nxt put the stuff up on their official twitter account, I don't really consider it a 'spoiler' anymore. I wouldn't have posted it if they didn't.

     

    I didn't see the twitter post, nor did I see the Instagram post until this morning, so yeah, its no longer a spoiler. Hero vs Nakamura should be incredible. Everyone knew he was back in NXT, but I don't think anyone saw a Nakamura feud right out of the gate. Especially when you consider WWE released him for being "fat" and now he's back and even fatter.

    Wrestle Kingdom was yesterday and boy was it good.

     

    Meltzer gave Omega vs Okada his first official 6 star match and said it was "Quite possibly the greatest wrestling match of all time."

     

    https://youtu.be/pvJq0nJ4Vjc

     

    Omega also went on record with sports illustrated (I believe) saying that he would "Rather be the legend who never stepped foot in the WWE than to be apart of their cog"....So that sucks, was really hoping we would see him jump ship....Maybe he changes his mind, I hope he changes his mind.

    The return of Cassius Ohno!!!!!!

     

    I've never seen him work but remember he got fired for being lazy and out of shape. Hope he is changed.

    It's funny cause the dude is a lot bigger now than he was in his first stint but that also kind of makes the things he can do more impressive. But ya, he can really go in the ring, he can talk and he's just super entertaining in general. We'll see how it goes this time.

     

     

    Yeah, hes a big ol boy now.

    With guys like Owens and Joe getting over, hopefully they see that physique doesn't matter.

    One guy I got my eye on is Garrett Stubbs with the Astros. I'd like him as a 3rd or 4th piece in a Q deal, or maybe the 2nd or 3rd piece in a deal for one of the relievers( believe I remember they needed relievers).

     

    Hit over .300 with an OBP in the .390s. He was defensive player of the year at USC as a senior a few years ago, so you would assume his defense is good. No clue on his pitch framing. Baseball reference does have him also listed as a DH which might tell you something about his framing..or that his defensive player of the year award was a sham.

     

    This year they may as well give Narvaez and Smith a shot.

    Guess the Sale trade

    I think it'll be the Red Sox.

     

    Dombroski didn't mention anything about Benintendi when talking about players he didn't wanna give up for Sale(Moncada and Kopech), so I think the Sox will get back Benintendi, Devers, Escobar, and Vazquez.

     

    Hope that is a little light.

    I had previously suspected that the slumps by Jones and Robertson had a lot to do with clustered usage when they were used too many times in too short a period of time. This pretty well reinforces it.

     

    I will say it here first. David Robertson would make a great buy low candidate for a team that realizes he is not a workhorse closer.

     

     

    Thing is, Robertson had an era below 2 when pitching on 0 days rest, and an era below 1 when pitching on 1.....Things started getting bad when he had over 3 days rest.

     

    He gave up 13 runs in 12 innings of work when he pitched on 4 or more days of rest. He gave up just 3 runs in 23.2 innings pitched with no rest. 4 runs in 33.2 if you add in the 1 run he allowed in 11 innings with 1 day of rest.

     

    These numbers lead me to believe that he IS a workhorse closer.

     

    I suppose you could argue that it was these innings that lead to his problems when pitching on heavy rest.

    Because you can potentially trade him to a contender in need of some OF depth in July. A lot of teams that rebuild do that.

     

    Yep. If you go back and look at the Cubs off seasons at the start of their rebuild under Theo/Jed, it is filled with signings of mediocre older players....In fact their early off seasons have kinda looked KW-esque.

    McCoy is changing my team's fortune from being incredibly mediocre to a championship contender.

     

    That potential injury scared the hell outta me.

     

    I really need Crowell to continue to look booty so Duke Johnson gets more touches. Outside of last week he has consistently got me 10 points a week even in the backup role. If he can start getting starter touches my Zeke/McCoy/Johnson trio should do a ton of damage.

     

    Not really fantasy related, but that Colt/Texan game damn near gave me a heart attack. My work does a confidence pool every week and I needed the texans to win to win it this week.. Was so worried that the Colts would win in OT and I would have essentially lost by a missed extra kick.
