    MLB: ****General Discussion Thread - Baseball Season 2019****

    To be fair, Donaldson is making $23 million this year and Harper's deal averages a little over $25 million/year, so this is a pretty dumb statistic to laugh over just because Donaldson signed as a 1 year rental and Harper signed on for 13 years. I think the Harper deal is going to end up...

    WE ARE RATED #2!!! (So keep calm and carry on)

    You're welcome to your interpretation, but the higher the FHI, the happier the fan base, so the higher you are in the 4 categories to the right, the happier you are as a fan base, meaning a high panic rating would benefit your happiness score.

    WE ARE RATED #2!!! (So keep calm and carry on)

    Everyone realizes a 99 means they're claiming we as a fanbase don't panic right?

    My brother's a high level financial analyst for a large health insurance company and he said most of the data provided that people are basing their percentages on in this thread(paychecks, benefits statements, etc.)are a bunch of crap and not reflective of what the company is actually paying, so...

    NFL - PI now challengable

    Biggest issue with replay is officials aren't reviewing to judge the original call. It's turned into making the call based on what it looks like happened on replay instead of strictly overturning the call if there's indisputable evidence the original call was wrong. Seeing as PI is a 100%...

    Big 12 tournament matchup vs Baylor

    Talley needs more minutes. Thought he looked good Saturday and the last play of the half that ended up with him looking like he lost his man was Conditt's fault. Conditt stayed at the 3 point line and took Talley's man even though Zoran was right there. Talley then tried to go down low to...

    Importance of not losing out

    I think it's important for recruiting, which is the one thing most on here agree Prohm has done well at. I'm sure a kid like Xavier Foster that's in state is paying close attention to how this season has unfolded and if we do end up needing some transfers, it certainly helps to have success in...

    So what will the reaction be IF this season gets turned around?

    I appreciate the optimism, but that ND team went 5-3 to end the regular season with wins over #2 UNC and #13 Louisville. One of the 3 losses was to #7 Miami with the other 2 on the road, one of which was by 1 point, and the other was to an FSU squad fighting for their tourney life which they...

    So what will the reaction be IF this season gets turned around?

    Notre Dame as a 6 seed also played an 11 seed, 14 seed, and 7 seed on their way to the Elite Eight and had upperclassmen leaders who'd spent their whole careers at Notre Dame and went to the Elite Eight the year before, so they knew what it took.

    Shayok Out tonight, Questionable for Sat

    Not at all looking to discredit anyone, but I am curious how many of the people with broken toe experience actually had a doctor do an X-ray and confirm it was broken and how many are assuming...

    Shayok Out tonight, Questionable for Sat

    Every one of our main 7 is culpable and need's to take a look in the mirror at this point. When I say far from the main reason, I just mean his share isn't any higher than anyone else's. You're welcome to feel differently, but the starters are the one's setting the tone for the first 8 minutes...

    Shayok Out tonight, Questionable for Sat

    Glad everyone focuses on the fact I didn't have his high school career correct instead of the main point I was trying to make which is coming off a summer with a lot of buzz as a top NBA prospect and Big XII player of the year candidate, Wiggy gets hurt and is relegated to a bench role which he...

    Shayok Out tonight, Questionable for Sat

    If you look at Wiggy's high school team/tape, he was much more of a distributor and played second fiddle to multiple guys on that team. While his comments this offseason and mindset of "I'm going to the league no matter what" are somewhat selfish, I don't envy the kid going from distributor on...

    2018 Taxes

    I think Iowa must wait until March to even start issuing refunds. If that's going to be your standard practice, that's fine, but maybe mention something ahead of time as I'm sure they get 1000 calls a day from people pissed off their return hasn't even been looked at. I filed Feb 2nd and have...

    Time for new starting lineup????

    He was 5 for 8 in the first half. I'm not talking about 0 for 2 to start a game. I'm talking 0 for 4 or 1 for 5. Also, Prohm did pull him after his 0 for 2 start and when he came back in, he started getting hot. I never said you can't still bring him in if he starts poorly. I was using THT as...

    Time for new starting lineup????

    Lindell I'll agree, but as I noted, I don't recall any games where THT has started poorly for more than a few minutes and hit that microwave you're speaking of, so in his specific case, what you see early is what you're getting for the game. I'm not saying pull him at the first TV timeout and...

    Time for new starting lineup????

    There's certainly games where THT can't miss and is a beast on the offensive end and deserves 30+ min, but I don't recall many games where he's started 1 for 5 and then miraculously made his next 5 shots, so it should be pretty easy for Prohm to know what kind of day Talen's gonna have early on...

    Time for new starting lineup????

    I think the issue is more that those guys come in the game and look like they belong for the 4 minutes they're in but then don't see the court again while the starters continue to struggle. What did Jacobson do better than Conditt on Saturday? What's THT doing better than Talley when he goes 1...

    Time for new starting lineup????

    Our guards played great against KU in Hilton and were creating turnovers left and right. It's no coincidence that Jacobson looked better that game, as any of our bigs would have. Jacobson has some nice offensive tools when he catches the ball cleanly and makes a decisive move, although he's...

    Next years lineup

    Not trying to pick a fight at all, but you still haven't answered my question RE team chemistry. If all 4 come back and are healthy, you don't think it will create a chemistry issue if they're not getting minutes? Also, I think it's reasonable to assume Prohm's focus on guards is because he has...
