Just think if we got Wood, Gaeckle, Foutch, and Coil all available and pitching well consistently.

Do we have any idea when we can expect to see Coil in a game again?
That felt like a 50/50 game that could have gone either way. Hoping the rest of our arms are better than the rest of theirs. I have no idea though.

I’m a “no” on CBM. Why risk everything you invest into this team on the in-game whims of his punk attitude that has a propensity to solicit techs and cause distractions for no good reason?

Imagine having one of Cal’s final seasons end, with a $10M+ roster, because this dude costs the team points with his selfish attitude in a tourney game.

I actually think the Nico situation is going to make it more likely he stays and tries to do everything he can to avoid following in those footsteps.
Hoping Foutch can repeat his performance tonight. It would be huge if he got back to his usual form.
I like the idea of starting McEntie. Keeps the primary bullpen options intact.
One of the most mysterious things to me is how all those men were willing to just line up and shoot each other, likely facing horrible death.

Wrong. That would be deflation. The correct statement is that costs didn’t rise as much as the experts expected, but they did rise.

$43k per year? BRB, going to up my contribution to my kid’s college savings plan.
Pretty incredible to have that stat and still make the Final 4.
Why take a timeout there Florida? Letting Sampson draw up a play when Houston’s O hasn’t been doing much of late.

Poor Execution of an Undefined Plan

Posted by Jon Ham on 4/6/25 at 10:13 pm
Trump’s tariff policy is difficult to judge due to the complexity of trade policy. While some sectors benefit from protectionist measures, others suffer from higher costs or reduced access to foreign markets.

Regardless of the eventual overall impact of Trump’s tariffs, Trump’s approach was flawed due to the lack of a coherent plan. If a leader is going to unilaterally pursue a risky path—such as broad tariffs—they must have a clear reason and be able to articulate that reason. Trump failed to offer a consistent message or set measurable benchmarks. He undermined his own argument by misrepresenting other countries’ tariff rates.

The poor execution of an undefined plan resulted in uncertainty and eroded business confidence. In economic policy, unclear or misleading messaging can undermine even well-intentioned strategies.

It didn’t have to be this way. With a little more intelligence and tuning, Trump could have still aggressively pursued trade reform without the fallout. But he didn’t. He stepped on his dick, again. Another unforced error by the showman.

I don’t regret voting Trump over Harris. I regret the Republican Party chose an 80 year old 90’s Democrat over the most successful conservative Governor of my lifetime who would have been a more effective executive and a better standard bearer for the future of the party.

With what has happened in the equities markets the last couple days, I would have expected BTC to be sitting in the low $70k’s and ETH below $1600 at this moment. What’s going on?
