Wow. 2017 he was 48th in SG:putting, but 2nd in Approach and 8th in Around the Green. Despite his putting being SO bad, he was 2nd overall in SG. That's some SICK ball striking. You're right, if he's even average in all categories, he's a top-15 player.

I dug into the data, and we're both right :). In '15, he gained more strokes on Approach vs. Putting, and ranked in the top 15 in SG Tee, Approach, Around-the-Green, Putting, and was 2nd in SG:overall. In '16, his entire SG: Tee-to-Green only barely eclipsed his SG: Putting. In '16, his putting flat-out carried him. In '15, he was the most complete player on tour. God I miss those days. C'mon Jordan.

He rides the positive momentum just as strongly as he rides the negative ... I know he's a whiny bitch, but that's the same guy who made the best bogey ever recorded, and then went -5 thru his next 4 holes to win the British, and who immediately birdied 13 and 15 at Augusta after #12 happened in '16. Same guy. Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup record. He was Wolvlandkawa before it was popular.

Agree, that's the $64k question. What we do know is that his mental game is as strong as, or better than, anyone. Even a marginal improvement in ball striking puts him back in a place where he can will himself around a golf course, especially friendly places like Colonial, Augusta, Harbor Town.

Not disagreeing that the entirety of the year was a mess; what I'm saying is that his extreme highs weren't solely because he makes more putts outside of 20'. His iron and wedge play were MASSIVE strengths. I believe that the '20 stats are so bad because he's been chasing something, trying to fix the driver, and it's infected the rest of the bag. Given how many birdies he was making as recently as '19 and before the stop in '20, that's reasonable.

The "it was a crazy hot putter" take is just lazy. He's considered (still) one of the best wedge players on tour. His putting inside 6' has never been good, but he makes more than his share outside of 20', which gains more strokes on the field. But now, as it's always been, the issue is his driver. A two way miss leads to too many crooked numbers. Look at his '19 and '20 birdie stats - he's making PLENTY of good numbers, he's just making way more bad numbers than anyone else, because when the driver goes sideways, it goes into places even ShotLink can't reach. Even AVERAGE driving puts him back in the winners circle.

Parler = Trumpkin Facebook....?
I.e. similar proportions to the Brexit vote. So many people voting their emotions, and then when reality hits about what Brexit ACTUALLY means, realizing they never ACTUALLY wanted to leave, they just wanted to be mad at someone else for their lot in life. Sound familiar?

XMET was ripe for some SERIOUS stonking on Friday. eTrade charts showed AT LEAST 10 bounces between .0013 and .0012. Another two already this morning, with 25m in volume already traded. One could do some serious damage with a little bit of bravery. Is BIGT trading as BIGT? Edit - looks like not yet.

what's your "buy more to throw on top of the existing pile" price? I need to do some cost-averaging down ... currently in at .20. Taking some quick profit on ALPP might help :).

ALPP touched 2.35 long enough to fill my order, so I'm in for a medium stake ... legggoo!

Fuck I wasn't gonna stay up and sweat this, but I'm glad I happened to make it to the DeKalb drop. This is amazing.

I'm not trying to trade AH. But I do have a limit order that's open, and I'd rather not fill mine at 2.45 and then have the stock sit at 1.45 if that's where it opens.

What do you guys see after-hours on ALPP? eTrade ticker is showing 1.59 bid and 6.00 ask, which seems a BIT odd. I've got an order in at 2.45, but don't want to buy at 2.45 at the open only to have the price set at 1.60 or whatever for the day.

Was just noticing this. Took the kids to putt putt this morning, so wasn't stonking. Wondering what lower support ALPP might see - might set a limit order and try to catch a dip, maybe catch the shorts first thing tomorrow AM. 2.25? 2.35? Thoughts?

Current player reactions to Sark?
Thus, RJ, and KI continuing to get carries (at least early in the season).

Current player reactions to Sark?
I don't think anyone is arguing this. The modern game requires 3, if not 4 capable RBs, due to tempo, but we need an established #1 in the worst way.
-
Current player reactions to Sark?
Yeah, I think the guy who gave up his lifelong (and recruited-into) position to help fill a drastic need on the team, then stuck with that position even with the arrival of a 5* blue chip, picks up blocking assignments and doesn't fumble, when he runs runs HARD, and you've never heard a single solitary negative word about him has earned himself a little bit of leeway.

Fuckin hell that was difficult to understand. I think I get their point, but I'm not 100% sure.

15 Years Ago Today
Was there with my (now) wife. Fucking amazing. Never seen a pregame like it, before or since. I personally saw people with a thousand dollars in cash in their hands, looking for a "just get me into the stadium" ticket, and not finding one. Goddamn that was fun.
