And it will have zero relevance come tournament time. As you all know, the 13th game of the year is a microcosm of how the entire season will turn out. If you prefer this team to peak now then I feel your pain, I’m more concerned about how we’re playing the last weekend in May as opposed to the first weekend of March.. but that’s just me.

the ace has proven 3 weeks in a row he can’t handle the role. Some of you need to have the reality check that this pitching staff is mid to bottom tier.


First season as a baseball fan?
Moscona still thinks he’s coming back

They are going to give him a plenty of time to work into being the ace. He might get moved to sat or sun starter but i dont see him going back to the pen


I don’t think you can “work into being the ace” over the course of a season. You are either a Friday night or you aren’t.
There's a twitter account "WhisperO&G" that is all over this.

I voted for Trump but this is wrong.

I've been following GPB for a long time - well before the pardon or even before it blew up.

I know people who were burned by this, I saw this product being sold first hand it was absolutely was sold under false pretenses.

Also good time to buy GIG, dipped below $11. NAV is ~10.50 so 0.40 risk per share right now


Gig’s sponsor is one of the worst of all time, tread lightly.

Sponsor’s get warrants and promotional shares. Look up SPAC Jesus as the perfect example.


I'm well aware of what SPAC sponsors get, I've followed SPACs since 2008, I've been a banker to SPACs (both IPO and de-SPAC), I've traded SPACs, lastly I was part of a SPAC sponsor group - where I received both warrants and founder (promote) shares that you mentioned.

My point is that while the returns to the sponsor can be high, they also incur a ton of risk via their capital to form and operate the SPAC.

The economics and incentives for the SPAC creator are borderline criminal


How so? Sponsor capital is fully at risk.

IPO investors have an absolute right to get their money back - NO MATTER WHAT.

Also not true, a LOT of people have lost a lot of money sponsoring SPACs that liquidate and can't get a deal done.

Fundamentally speaking it’s basically a short cut for a company to take their company public. The SPAC has done all the regulatory work


This is false.

15.55 now

what was the IPO price?


There was no "IPO" they merged with a SPAC, consideration given by the SPAC was based off a $10 share price.

If you are reading about something here, you can't it's already too late

1.) the owner is a much bigger man than anyone on here realizes. I’m pretty big, but small next to him. 2.) even if Kevin started losing his son and every one that works for him would also jump me. His son was already an aggressor trying to start a fight. 3.) it then would be my word vs him and the bars word. A visitor vs a local when it came to discussions with the cops. I can promise you they’d side with the local bar owner. 4.) then I get to spend part of my trip in jail and would have other complications following that.


Seems like the only thing you did wrong was your verbiage.

Probably not the best idea to tell a meat head bar owner anything about going outside.
