Why are our right handed hitters continually flying out to RF ronight?

Make it make sense

He's safe, unless they called way out basepath

How the hell did that stay in

Kade getting abused tonight

This guy is making us look real real bad

That’s a simplistic way of looking at it. Having 4 walks spread out over 9 innings is very different than having your starter go 6+ innings with no walks then having 4 walks over the last 3 innings.

Bingo, this has been a major problem for us when a number of guys come out the pen

Bullpen only
Game 2 against Texas - 5 walks in 3.2 IP
Game 3 against Mizzou - 3 walks, 1 WP, 1 HBP in 5.1 IP
Game 2 against Mizzou - 6 walks, 1 WP, 2 HBP in 5.1 IP

The 3 other SEC games the pen was just fine to very good even. So its not every game, but when they're bad, they are definitely bad and its been in half the SEC games at this point plus some non conference weekend games as well.

When you go out and get a bunch of pitchers in the portal who have control problems, and you're not fixing said control problems, this is where we're at.

Runs will be at a very high premium on Thursday, Pico their ace is as good as they come in the SEC.

Vehicles inflated a ton over the last 5 years, its been bad. Used prices have corrected some but its still used prices on things that went way up in MSRP over the last few years if you're looking for something made in the last few years.

We got the '22 MDX tech pkg for $40k with 29k miles on it. Original sticker was for $54k on it. A 2019 MDX same trim level stickered for about $50.5k. So from just 2019 to 2022 it rose a decent bit. A 2025 MDX tech (again, same trim) is just under $58k with now. So over 6 model years it went from $50.5k to $58k for the same vehicle basically.

What’s your thoughts on doing this, but instead of making $491 payments monthly, pay the minimum each month and put the remaining into a HYSA (of course discipline is crucial here and you can’t touch that money) then pay off the entire loan at the end of the term. You end up recouping some of the 5% transfer fee.

3% transfer fee with the one I posted, not 5%

This is a really bad idea though for someone trying to get out of credit card debt. They need to be throwing as much as they can every month to get rid of the debt, not trying to suddenly be an optimizer while still having the credit card debt. The extremely small spread difference is not worth the risk of someone who has had credit card debt seeing a big chunk of change building up on the side they can suddenly use one day instead of paying off the c.c. debt and the cycle just continues. Much easier for them psychologically to just pay off the debt as fast as possible throwing all they can at it.

Once its gone, sure, start building up the savings on the side, they will have money again, until then, no way would I tell someone to make minimum payments on transferred C.C. debt and and throw the rest in a savings account to make an extremely minimal (frankly not worth the huge risk) spread. Pay it off and get rid of it and dont tempt yourself. If they were optimizers they wouldnt be in this situation to start with.
