What a champ........ Giving thanks to his family..... And grandma too......
Giving thanks to his team and credit to the guys who play behind him and his teammates as well........ Champs like that wouldn't be where they are without the people, friends and family around him......
Nobody cared about a pitcher with a funny name with a losing team back in 2024..... But look at him now ^_^

It's hard to let it go.......
To let the projections and Baseball go.....
I ask myself can someone do a better job...... Who will fill the void......
But again I remind myself it's not my problem...... And it's hard to explain and I'd love to do another season but being honest this takes a lot out of you.....
And it feels good to finally rest, be happy of what I did and take pleasure in my work over 3 seasons..... Doing the best I can and nothing short of the best anyone can...... It really brings an immense sense of pride and joy that is hard to describe..... I just appreciate the game and love of the game and thanks to my Dad for showing me what the game is all about. Thanks Dad!!!
There won't be another like me in the sport ever again and as the saying goes when the going gets tough the tough get going..... And it ain't over till it's over but Baseball season is over for me ^_^

I told myself I wasn't making projections and I ain't exactly......
I'm just revisiting the past like for example......
Remember last Winter and how I said "wow.....look at the poor FA Class of 2024...... They are so worthless..... The only interesting thing one could imagine are trades.".....
And short of the Bregman and Soto contracts where has most FA deals in 2024 gotten most teams..........
The answer.....
Is fucking goddamn fucking nowhere...... Just ask Steve Cohen...... Owner of the fucking Mets......
Who pays Juan Soto more than any MLB owner or teams pays Ohtani......
Judge.....
Trout.....
Fucking everyone in MLB.....
Look how that worked out for the Mets and Steve Cohen
Look at the FA Class of 2025...... No MVPs under 30....... No fucking nothing......
Who the fuck is paying anyone in this FA Class of 2025 half of what they are paying Juan Soto a year let alone Ohtani, Judge or Trout!?!?!??
Especially with the CBA around the corner?!?!!?

Hahaha you can't resist it. I can't either. Take some time off until hot stove warms up. At least you live in Sunnyville. I am in the cold Midwest. Send me a cable and I will do an honest review and then send it back.

The Kids Real MLB/Baseball flashbacks......
Never mind Skubal wasn’t even on the “experts” radar at MLB on Fox/ESPN/MLB…… I even picked more Cy Young candidates than the “experts” or MLB powered by Google AI….. using nothing but stats/analytics available to 8 billion + people……
Ahead of every “expert” on the planet or even AI ^_^
——————————————————————————————-
Yours truly….. some schmuck from Anaheim CA that never went to an Ivy League or some fancy private school BEAT every “experts” preseason projections for Top 10 pitchers and also beating MLB powered by Google AI….. with nothing else but statistics/analytics available to everyone on planet Earth along with a little bit of Calc and a Texas Instruments TI-84+ calculator, pencil, pen and paper…….
——————————————————————-
4 of my top 10 are actually in the running for Cy Young vs MLB “experts” 3 out of 10 at this point in the season….. not perfect by a long shot but yeah again better than the “experts” in the industry….. and I made these projections months before the season even started……and yeah 1 out of my 10 picks is actually winning Cy Young vs 0 out of 10 for the “experts”…….
I BEAT every “expert” at their own game in regards to projections and I’m even beating and offering better results than MLB powered by Google AI…….
When it comes to what I have to offer and my results vs “MLB experts” or MLB powered by Google AI my methodology and insight using the WAR-Ratio has revolutionized how to see the game, how to better build teams, how to better make projections and how to actually explain what’s going on in the field in a better way than anything any “expert” has used in the past 100+ years or the combined 10,000 year knowledge of a panel of so called “experts”……. I did it last season and did it again this season…..
It’s not luck and it’s not coincidence…..

It's just me, my WAR-Ratio method and other factors and considerations, basic stats available to everyone and a little bit of calculus along with my Ti-84+ calculator.......thats it......you heard it here first.......

I beat the "experts".......
At MLB/ESPN/MLB on Fox/The-Ringer/Fangraphs at their own game........
And while they think they are matching me....... pretty much just copying and pasting my methodology based on the WAR-Ratio that I developed...... they may be using the same deck/hand as me but they don't know how to really use it or how to play the cards that I invented and developed to their full potential.........
________________________________________________________
7 out of 12 of my picks are postseason ready vs 6 out 12 of the "experts"....... And actually made Postseason and October Baseball.
58.333% of my preseason picks mase Postseason and October Baseball overall out of 12 vs 50% of the "experts" at MLB/ESPN/MLB on Fox/The-Ringer top 12 preseason picks and Power Rankings...... Also demolished PECOTA and their preseason projections for the season which only got 5 out of top 12 picks right at 41.666% vs my 7 out of top 12 picks at 58.333%......
I beat the "experts" in 162 games of the season......

Imagine a season.....
Where a player hits a HR and pitches a No-Hitter in the same game.....
Where a player goes 4-6 innings........ Brings 6+ to 7+ Ks home and then hits a cycle or a natural cycle...... In the same game......
Yeah anything is possible..... When it comes to The Freak-Sho *_*
