@JacobsFieldRBW That’s not how probability works. 50/50 chance of HR/K does not mean 50% of ABs are HRs and 50% are K’s. Each individual AB is its own 50/50 shot. This is the same logic as flipping a coin. The odds of the next AB or the next coin flip have nothing to do with the previous result.

@GRoditiD Lego. Some sets will take less than an hour total, but there are also natural stopping points for bigger sets, if you have to leave it and come back later.

@SleeperHQ Never start the road QB on a Thursday night.

[Brandon Dountz @BDountz]

@SleeperHQ Had these four trades go down in rapid succession this morning. The first three (Baker, Cousins+, and Johnston flip for Kupp) all happened within about a 10 minute span, and fourth one followed about 15 minutes later.

@Aportzline @FriedgeHNIC Always wondered, how do these guaranteed amounts work for cap purposes? If he spends the entire year in AHL, does CBJ incur a $50K cap “penalty” at the end of the year? Or is it just that the player receives the remaining $50K as a non-cap assessed bonus?

@Aportzline Aaron, always been curious but do you give the grade in pieces like this, or does somebody else give the grade and you just provide the write-up as the beat writer?

@SleeperHQ AP with my last round pick in 2012 coming off the ACL. Combined with Megatron as my first round pick, I did pretty well that year.

#CBJ ... early July jottings:

Gaudreau - Monahan - Marchenko

@mark_scheig Finding a top-6 C and allowing Boone to move back to a middle-6 W role should’ve been a priority the last 2-3 years. Apart from taking considerably fewer face-offs, this should only help not hurt Boone’s overall production. 38 being able to move to the W makes this club better.

@JacketsInsider @monstershockey Jeff, maybe you’ve written about this before, but how can Cleveland consistently put out a quality product and it never translates to CBJ success? I see something similar with the Guardians/Clippers every year, and I can’t wrap my mind around why it doesn’t eventually translate.

[Brandon Dountz @BDountz]

@pmascari @Aportzline @monstershockey Pretty sure it just means some version of, “we did you a solid in this trade, take that into account on the next one.” Which could mean anything from doing a similar deal going the other way, or maybe only asking for a 4th instead of a 3rd on a future trade.

#CBJ have traded Emil Bemstrom to Pittsburgh for Alex Nylander and a conditional sixth-round pick, the club has announced.

First move under interim GM John Davidson

@SleeperHQ Hurts + AJB to out-score Swift by 20.

[Brandon Dountz @BDountz]

@SleeperHQ 2012, Calvin Johnson with the 6th pick. Ended up getting Adrian Peterson with my last round pick coming off the ACL injury.

@Aportzline Aaron, if you’ve got an inside line to @BallySportsCBUS by chance, go ahead and have them shut the app back down at this point.

[Brandon Dountz @BDountz]

@ballysportshelp @BallySportsCBUS You’ve been notified? You’ve known for at least three days it didn’t work…

[Brandon Dountz @BDountz]

@BrianHedger @BallySportsCBUS @BallySports Between you, @Aportzline and @JacketsInsider, I think I’m covered. You guys all do a phenomenal job.

[Brandon Dountz @BDountz]

@Aportzline Man, sure would’ve loved to see this on @BallySports @BallySportsCBUS app.

[Brandon Dountz @BDountz]

@BallySportsCBUS @BlueJacketsNHL Oddly enough, that same quote could apply to your company and the lack of progress on fixing your app.

[Brandon Dountz @BDountz]

@BallySportsCBUS @BlueJacketsNHL We would love to know how he does in his return to the lineup, but alas, the app doesn’t work to watch the game.
