I see posts and comments on here every day bashing Bregman, the contract, Jed for signing Bregman, etc. I don’t see anything acknowledging what PCA has said about Bregman helping him this season. Am I not seeing those comments or something? What’s going on?

Justin Turner’s influence on PCA was well-documented here and in other media last year. The team itself acknowledged that Crow-Armstrong was benefitting from Turner’s leadership and guidance. Every time the cameras caught PCA pitching a fit in the dugout, Turner was right there in the same shot. The cameras would usually pan back to Justin obviously talking Pete down from a 15 to a 5 or so. The rest of the team seemed to enjoy having Turner and his enthusiasm around as well.

This year I’ve heard the TV crews, the radio crew, and PCA himself talk about Bregman’s role in the change we’ve seen in PCA’s offensive game. You can go to YouTube, type in “Pete Crow-Armstrong credits Alex Bregman,” and see a video Marquee posted yesterday of PCA talking about a conversation he had with Bregman about what to look for from a Braves pitcher when his hot streak started a month ago. There’s no doubt the two of them have connected on a personal level as well; I remember a Bregman interview during or shortly after spring training when he mentioned his son had been FaceTiming him just to talk to Pete. I rarely, if ever, see any comments or posts mentioning any of this. All I see is Bregman bashing.

Are we just not acknowledging here all of the good things Bregman has brought to the club that have led to an improved PCA? Is it different from Turner because of the cheap 1-year contract vs. the expensive 5-year contract? Do Bregman’s contributions not matter because of his Astros history, the expensive contract, and the fact that he’s offensively abysmal?

After several years of burning money on cheap bedsheets that fall apart (due to my picky husband who thrashes in his sleep), we finally agreed on our all-time favorite set. I still have all of the pieces but the color doesn’t match our current color theme at all. It seems as though the exact equivalent doesn’t exist any more. I’m hoping someone here has found an alternative.

What we have is a Studio by JCP Home (JCPenney) brand king-sized sheet set that was manufactured in July 2016 according to the tags. They’re 65% cotton/35% polyester, made in India. They’re not brushed by any means, but the underside somehow feels smoother than the top. I don’t remember buying them at all, so I have no idea if they’re wrinkle-resistant or “lightweight,” cooling, etc. They’re substantially heavier than the 100% polyester set I bought last year and the 100% cotton set I bought the year before. Every search I’ve done trying to find cotton/poly blend sheets has pulled up options that are reviewed as “lightweight” and “cooling”. These sheets might have been advertised as cooling, but I’m one of those people that can’t really tell much difference. A lot of the search filters I’ve used for cotton blends pull up cotton/viscose or cotton/lyocell, which are both a hard no. I’ve found a couple options that seem really close but they don’t come in colors that would match the comforter set, like darker blues/grays or slate blue.

Am I cooked? Should I be looking for a different material description that feels similar? Any help is appreciated.
