I'm about 6 episodes in and am enjoying it. I like it

Like I said. Words matter. Tim offered an out. George took it. By the definition of the bet George won. It's a shitty way to win, but it happens. The very definition of words matter. IMO George won. He won by a technicality, but he won non the less. IMHO since it came to this. George should honor the spirit of the bet. Just call it even and move on. Eta: I could be drunk. Purdue won again today!! Boiler Up!!

It is crap. I agree with you there. But you offered with "up to you". He took it and won by the terms of the bet. It's a shitty thing to do. Again, you should've just kept quiet until the Democratic convention and he won the nomination. Words matter.

A shitty way to lose a bet, but technically Tim lost because he wanted to settle now. Technically there is no Democrat nominee yet. He'll, Biden could pass away tomorrow and you'd lose. Tim you are correct that you won the "spirit of the bet", but that's worth nothing when betting You should've just waited. If one of my friends pulled shenanigans like this. Doorbell. Face. Wife and kids.

Tough to say. He's looked good in spring training. I would think most definitely before all-star break. But if Cleveland is in a playoff run, they might just let him walk at the end of the year. That would be odd for Cleveland to do. I would say yes. Cubs and Reds make perfect sense as trade partners.

And Espino out for the year again. I feel for that young man. Absolutely filthy when healthy, but nothing but injuries after injuries. I'm starting to think he might never pitch in the bigs. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/daniel-espino-shoulder-surgery-2024.html&ved=2ahUKEwj5gtnks_SEAxVqmokEHSWfD-sQFnoECDAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2a-QV4XNxZ6_lK8yG4LvHv

I'd keep an eye out for Espino. He's a starting pitcher. He's had health issues, but is finally healthy. He can hit 103 with his fastball, and has two wipe out "sliders". Ones is a low 80's breaker and one's a mid 90's hard slider. Like I told Hardcore troubadour up above, he's been compared to DeGrom when healthy.

Reds should win their division. 81.5 seams low to me. Mariners are a WC team imo. Astros are still the team in that division. But God I'm happy baseball is back. Already planning a couple trips to go watch my Guardians.

Hot take here!!

So you stick around for 5 or 6 posters?

Agree

Purdue and IU rivalry is back to normal. Last year was a fluke.

Gavin Williams is the future ace. Daniel Espino has been compared with DeGrom, but can't stay healthy. If he can, and the comparisons are true, another great young arm to keep an eye on.

I think so. Cleveland is loaded with good young pitchers. Look for Clase to possibly get moved also. Been talk all off-season about a Beiber/Clase package for a power hitting outfielder.

He's young. I also wouldn't be surprised if he hits a little bit of a sophomore slump this year either. He's got tons of potential though. They wanted some thump in the lineup and Zunnino was cheap, but yes, wasted time. Us fans wanted him starting from day 1.
