Florida lost damn near every nonconference game they played last year and still made the tournament due to 13 SEC wins. The committee has shown year after year that all that matters for SEC teams is number of conference wins

It would be great but our pitching troubles wouldn't just go away. If we paid Herring enough to stay then its doubtful that we also get Eyanson. Which means we still have 4 great pitchers and a bunch of guys not reaching their standard

The way they're all just recording with their phones has gotten really dystopian. The crowd in GB, the family members in every kids draft room, etc. All of this is being recorded by espn's camera crews and will be available on the internet. Just be present and enjoy it instead off everyone in the room recording the same video. Reminds me of that black mirror episode a few years ago. Society is weird

Yea... You see people do it all the time. Your problem is the mindset that you have to even ask that question

My motivation is zero

Check into your diet. I eat clean 90% of the time so I can really notice a difference when I don't. Yesterday someone brought a bunch of sweets to work and I gave in. Ate some sweets and baked pastries and stuff around 1:00. Come 4:00 after work and it's time to work out and I felt super sluggish. Had no motivation and just wanted to take a nap. Diet can really affect your mindset

So is it cheaper with a subscription than what they have listed here LINK

Or is the subscription just to pay for someone to interpret the results

Eta: nevermind I see you answered my question. Looks like it's cheaper with a subscription and you have access to tests that aren't listed in that link

$75/3 month subscription.

Interested to hear more about this. I used Marek previously and it's expensive af. So it looks like the subscription doesnt actually come with any specific labs. it allows you to pick whatever labs you want and they all have their own price in addition to the subscription, correct?

But I see that you can buy labs from them a la carte so what's the appeal of the subscription?

Interactive map. It'll give you estimated walk times from one gate to another. Shave a couple minutes off if you're not a dumbass

It's a long ways and there's no tram. If you know the flight numbers you should be able to see what gates the flights are landing and taking off from for the past few days and that may give you some insight

Posted by Yeti_Chaser on 4/24/25 at 8:41 am

Sorry to hijack but with Cuse around...
I'm thinking about booking a 1 hr 10 minute connection in AMS through Delta (KLM flight). I'll have to clear exit immigration so it will be cutting it close. However there are later flight options back to the US from AMS, but they are much more expensive. If I book the short connection I assume that they will rebook me on a later flight if I miss it? So there's not really anything to lose by gambling for the cheaper ticket?

if it’s working don’t mess with it

But it isn't. It's working for Stanfield but it isn't working for the team. Right now he needs to be tested with taking on a bigger role which is more plate appearances. I think he will step up. And maybe moving someone else like Milam to the 9 hole will help him get going.

It's always so short sighted to look at these things from the lens of how one specific player is performing. The lineup consists of 9 guys. You aren't going to win based on the performance of one in baseball

re: Moving Stanfield up in batting order, #5 BA in SEC

Posted by Yeti_Chaser on 4/23/25 at 7:51 pm

Stanfield in the 9 hole is a luxury. But it's a luxury that we cannot afford when the rest of the lineup is struggling. Yes, hes been performing well in the 9 hole but right now we have to rely on him to do more and take more plate appearances. I think he will handle the leadoff role just fine and we all know Jay likes lefties batting 2nd so Stanfield followed by Curiel makes a lot of sense

Is there something wrong with the trains/busses?

I see tickets online from Naples to Vico Equense on the Curreri bus for 13 euros and it says it takes 40 minutes
Or use the Circumvesuviana train for under 7 euros
