All the googleFi love owns, I've had it for a year or so and it's wonderful. I just bought a new s21 because of a sale and the combined cost of that + my normal monthly bill is still like 75% of what I was paying verizon

It's still slow as gently caress but I think that's my old rear end Fire Stick struggling to keep up at this point.

It's more that the Cardinals don't go after the huge name free agents. They trade and then sign generally.

Salvor_Hardin posted:My wife and I pay $40-60/month combined with Google Fi. You just need to plan ahead a little to avoid DLing podcasts without wifi and such. The coverage is great and it all works international. Yeah, if you're careful about using WiFi as much as you can, the cost is so much cheaper and they are so much less of a headache to deal with. Also, international rates are exactly the same, you don't need to do anything when you travel abroad. They have a plan where it's $20/month plus a charge for the exact data usage, with the caveat that everything you use over 6GB's is free. So it's basically an unlimited plan that never goes over $70 with all the perks you'd have to pay extra for with other providers included, and if you are diligent, you'll be paying monthly bills in the $30-$40 range.

As much as I loved Pujols and still do, matching that Angels contract also would have been a disaster. It's nice to not have to watch our lovely fans be mad/angry/racist at an old and bad aging Pujols from 2012-21.

https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1379118732006588418 Castellanos issued a statement: "I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by me and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame."

how the gently caress does Castellanos get 2 games for celebrating scoring a run but the guy who hit him to put him on base and start the whole thing off gets nothing? I'm not even a Reds fan but that is some bullshit

I hear the Cardinals are also getting another compensatory pick out of the deal. e. Apparently a couple Cardinals including Molina got fined, but Nick being the only one to eat a suspension is horseshit. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/1379120208774787072

I mean the umpire was right there so I'm assuming he knows exactly what he yelled at Woodford while he was pumping his fists? Maybe he said terrible words? But yea, probably should have just fined them all imo. He's obviously going to be fired up after getting hit and being mad about it and then scoring on a wild pitch.

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:Please don't allege some dude maybe said 'terrible words' with zero proof lol what? He clearly yelled something at Woodford and I'm almost certain it wasn't something friendly and nice based on the reactions. MLB has an unsportsmanlike conduct rule, pretty sure standing up, pumping fists, and screaming something directly at an opposing player would fall under that rule. Again, I don't think he should be suspended and the Cardinals (including Yadi grabbing him) definitely are at fault here too, but there are rules. Again, just fine everyone and be done with it. Can't suspend just one guy. Johnny Bravo posted:I assume it has to do with getting the benches to clear in the age of COVID which is dumb bullshit but that's still my assumption Actually didn't even think of this. I think they did put in some protocols about trying not to get the benches cleared and stuff. Once teams reach 85% vaccination can they brawl without penalty again?

The one thing I do find weird is that everybody just takes for granted that Castellanos was hit on purpose because he pimped a homerun the game before, but when he does get hit Molina visibly flinches and the pitcher isn't like staring Nick down or anything. It's entirely possible one just got away.

It's dumb, but it's also super expected. The ump ejected Nick. The league isn't about to publicly disagree with the ump's call. Someone has to be suspended and only one guy got ejected. The wrong guy imo, but once that initial mistake was made this was the only possible result really.

mcmagic posted:Unlimited substitution to me means that you can take players out of the game and then put them back in, not the DH. Every other position fields and bats. Treating the pitcher differently is absolutely a form of unlimited substitution. Connie Mack was an early proponent of the idea and he managed while senile for twenty years.

It's not unlimited substitution - now you're just using circular logic to define your stupid position. It's just a 10th position that doesn't have to play the field and in the AL the pitcher doesn't have to bat. We get that you hate the DH but you seem awfully ignorant about it somehow.

Kirios posted:I still can't believe the Marlins won that trade. I thought it was a slam dunk one for the Yankees. Everyone loves a huge contract until the player starts to decline. Stanton was pretty young when he signed the extension, but he already had multiple injuries and a body type that doesn't age well. Turns out Jeter was right. Teams seem to be getting a bit smarter about megacontracts tbh. The Harper, Machado, Betts, Tatis, Lindor etc contracts will have some bad years on the back end, but at least those players were still coming into their prime when they signed, unlike Pujols and Miggy who were already in their 30s.
