    Smeg Fantasy Footy 25-26

    Congrats to @chrisjent for his victory! Dominant performances in the playoffs. CMC is a dominant force when he’s healthy.

    BobFinn* Fantasy Hoops 2025-26 (UPDATE: Live Draft Sunday, Oct.19)

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    Sunk cost fallacy shouldn't keep Walker in our lineup. Certainly not if it results in ditching Paredes, who is 8 years younger and much much...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    Michael Bourn won back to back gold gloves. I think he's the best we've had in center in that time frame. Meyers takes excellent routes and...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    Yeah, it's a difficult path to contention. Involves a lot of luck with health and probably needs a healthy Yordan at MVP level and a healthy...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    The idea that we can't find playing time in the lineup for a 26 year old who's one of our best hitters is false. And on a club controlled...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    The bWAR difference is smaller (0.2 vs -0.1). I'm not disagreeing that Walker was a more valuable player in 2025 than Abreu in 2023. Mostly...

    2025 College Football

    Miami was always going to get a spot, they weren't going to keep the ACC out entirely. 9-3 Bama gets in because they're Bama. Is A&M better...

    I'm sure people were saying the same thing about Jose Abreu before 2024. "Look at his production in the 2023 second half and the playoffs, he...

    You’re being a pedantic asshat. I explained my point but you’d rather “well actually” me than listen. There are lots of players on the roster,...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    I don’t know that a missed season extends all contracts. Have we ever seen that before in any sport? Like it may extend arbitration or free...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    I left off Correa and was thinking Yordan and Hader's contracts were one year shorter. But I don't think the end analysis is different. And I...

    Who's even on this team for the 28 run? The position players are all gone except 37yo Altuve, in his final season, Yainer if he's still here, and...
