  - The tweet starting it said this is why you don’t do public beta tests and I’m like uh no this is exactly why. -- nm - IAmQale Jun 5, 14:25

  - There was a funny but revealing moment the other day. - David, Horny New Guy Jun 5, 10:15
- I just wanna know what’s going on with Keith Lee. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:55 3
  - something is going on. He wants to tell us, but provide some education about whatever it is - Remlik Jun 5, 10:14
  - Yeah, there have been some whispers about his health. He's clearly dying to talk about it, but they won't let him. - David, Horny New Guy Jun 5, 10:12
  - Combination of "creative has nothing for you" and Vince not understanding why a guy that big leaves his feet so much. -- nm - Tim Jun 5, 09:56

DTL: WTG Baron with a Top 10 class! My class falls into the not a disaster range. -- nm - Dano Jun 5, 09:29 14
- Wooo hooo! I didn't win the 3/3 tie on the big guy but Guerrero is still a huge win for the program. -- (edited) - Barontronic Jun 5, 10:01 11
  - What are your grades? -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Jun 5, 10:16 9
    - Inside. - Barontronic Jun 5, 10:38 8
      - I'd play Liam at PG. Remind me of the order. Is he E at hands or shooting? And is the P in athleticism or intelligence? -- nm - David Jun 5, 11:14 4
        
        Order is Sht Def Hnd Reb Int Ath, so Liam ain't the sharpest but he can fill it up or dish it. - Barontronic Jun 5, 11:30 3
        
        Yeah, I wouldn't like an idiot playing point, but you want an offensive specialist like that touching the ball as much as possible. -- nm - David Jun 5, 11:38 2
        
        FWIW, I had the best success with size mismatches at guard. If you have anyone 6'5" to 6'8" who is +3 at shooting/hands, it's a mismatch. -- nm - David Jun 5, 11:39 1
        
        Ok, you've convinced me to keep The Duck at SF and let Liam play SG like he did in HS. Duck's 2 in shorter but a better rebounder and athlete. - Barontronic Jun 5, 11:48
      - That’s a top 10 class? Wow. My 3 guys are +14/0 with at least +2 in 5 of the 6 grades. Athleticism is 0. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 5, 10:54 2
        
        Maybe high school stats come into it? Average GSc for my guys were 24.0, 19.1, and 17.6 -- nm - Barontronic Jun 5, 11:08 1
        
        Okay, you get me there -- I'm about 53 combined. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 5, 11:08
  - Heh, the recruiting class bumped me up 50 places in the power rankings. -- nm - Barontronic Jun 5, 10:07
- Nice! -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Jun 5, 09:49
- Yeah Baron crushed it -- nm - rollo Jun 5, 09:31
DTL -- Recruits are up -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:29 1
- Good outcome for me, lower ranked than I thought (will likely be higher in the 768) -- nm - rollo Jun 5, 09:31
Mets tickets for rest of the season on sale. Going to Mets/Blue Jays in July. - Tim Jun 5, 09:12 6

- I think Diaz was the correct choice -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 5, 07:51
ST parents (or those of you who remember personally), at what age did your early riser kids start sleeping in? N is 9 and the last few weeks he’s gone - kelly Jun 5, 07:29 15
- FWIW, my nephew had the same switch the summer before he went into the fifth grade, and my brother had the same concerns. - ReluctantCynic Jun 5, 11:27
- Early riser child? LOFL. Logan has always slept in. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:58 5
  - A got up before 8 this morning which is super early for her. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 5, 09:33
  - If Nathan slept till 8, we counted our blessings or worried he was sick. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:00 3
    - I think 11am was Logan's usual time for a long time. Middle School was later. Now it is noon or 1 if we have no plans. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 09:04 2
      - Wow. - kelly Jun 5, 09:24
      - Note: Amy is an early riser, I am a noon. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 09:05
- Was around then for me. Grade 3/4. -- nm - mafic Jun 5, 07:56
- Puberty basically. -- nm - spamlet Jun 5, 07:51 4
  - I hope so. I think. I feel like 9 is too early for puberty but I know that’s not really true. -- nm - kelly Jun 5, 09:25 2
    - Yeah I think ours started at 10 but there were certainly younger kids. -- nm - spamlet Jun 5, 09:38
    - It starts earlier than it did for us, unfortunately. -- nm - Qale Jun 5, 09:27
  - You'll have a surly teenager in no time! -- nm - Dano Jun 5, 08:08
- Growth spurt! -- nm - Barontronic Jun 5, 07:35 1
  - That’s what I’m hoping. -- nm - kelly Jun 5, 07:49
While they still aren't great or anything, Tim's breakfast sandwiches have greatly improved since they switched to the "freshly cracked eggs." -- nm - Shaun Jun 5, 07:01 2
- …what kind of eggs were they using before? -- nm - znufrii Jun 5, 07:09 1
  - Some type of egg patty thing. -- nm - Shaun Jun 5, 07:14

So baseball is cracking down on foreign pitching substances. Good thing Trevor Bauer got paid now because he’s about to revert. The numbers are - Will Hunting Jun 5, 06:01 4
- Did they say they're going to crack down on it? I've seen a bunch of articles about how much it helps pitchers but none say MLB - Krusty Jun 5, 06:37 3
  - They told pitchers they were going to start confiscating stuff if suspected but no fines/penalties and were shocked at the cheating rate. - spamlet Jun 5, 06:52
  - Yep. They’re going to start cracking down. Fines and suspensions for newly re-stated rules. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 06:47 1
    - I hope they actually do something. It's ridiculous. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 07:33
