Its always nice to wake up in the morning with your pockets weighed down with 250 bucks you didnt have last night.

I couldnt watch the games because I was a jinx on the Asteos when I did. Turned on last night in the first when Altuve grounded out and 2nd run scored then the immediately got the last 2 and dodgers loaded the bases with Joc coming to bat.

Turned channel at that point and only briefly switched back to check scores till I fell asleep. Woke up hoping the Asteo bullpen held up and wasnt disappointed.

I'm looking at MLB futures tonight. I'm sure a Reds over Indians WS ticket should get me pretty good odds.

Nice to see Tucker Barnhart get some love even though he plays on a shit team. Dude is a great defensive catcher - and very few people know about him. Glad he got the hardware, beating out Buster Posey and Yadier Molina.

He led the NL by throwing out 44% of attempted steals. He also led the league with 661 blocked pitches - the Reds shitty staff kept him busy.

In 926.3 innings he totaled 1 error.

It's hard to imagine anyone playing a better CF than Billy Hamilton, but I can't knock Inciarte. Dude can play. But let's not kid ourselves, it helps that he is a way better hitter than Hamilton is. Gold Glove is a defensive award, but offensive stats certainly have an impact.

Better luck next year, Billy!

Gotta wonder if Bux didn't get hot second half. His offensive numbers before the break were BAD.

I wish they'd announce them all in one day. stringing them out over a couple weeks is stupid.

Sports bet for a living? Interesting. Whats you personal theory for picking winners and betting?

Play daily fantasy b/c Vegas will always have more info & resources than you. after that it's really a matter of studying advanced stats & separating signals from noise. then, just play the right plays & don't bet more than a few percent of your bankroll. I've seen Mike Trout go 0-5 against the worst pitcher in baseball when I played him, I've seen Ray Allen shoot >10% on games where I had him on 10+ wide open threes. there's too much variance for anything to be close to a sure thing. know it's a roller coaster & go from there

i guess my personal theory is this, study the advanced stats & use all the resources available, & most importantly don't try to beat Vegas just try to beat the public
