  1. It's gotta be hard. He's paid to be an analyst, so he starts to say what naturally comes to his mind based on what he knows/has learned then catches himself... ("double play depth..."). I give him credit for acknowledging that that isn't the way it's played anymore and it's for the better. Oh, I get it, Schroeder just feels (to me) like right under the surface, he doesn't like the way the game is played these days. For as much as it's difficult to listen to Ueck at times, as he isn't really great at calling the action, he has rolled with the changes in the game over the year pretty seamlessly.
  2. Kyrie Irving will never be a champion.
  3. I can't remember the last game I watched on FS where Schroeder didn't "Back in my day" about the shift.
  4. For almost all of April, it looked like (perception is usually decieving, I know) that he was both flat-footing and trying to pull outside pitches. Braun is at his best when he's taking those outside pitches to right field like we're seeing the last several days. This isn't some secret, literally EVERYBODY knows this. I also think it would be to Braun's benefit if he'd go with a bat that is even an inch or so shorter and/or an ounce or two lighter, but he (obviously) loves the plate coverage he feels that huge bat provides. It is what it is. Braun is what he is. He's going to have a few of these hot streaks this year, just like he did last year and the end result will be a decent-ish looking slash line at the end of the year (probably).
  5. I'd still say that. Braun (like any player) is still *very obviously* capable of a hot streak. He hit really well the last few weeks of the season last year and helped carry the team into the playoffs. If Braun plays 120 games and puts up an .800 OPS I'd be pleased. If he even puts up a .750-ish OPS with decent power numbers he's probably not outlandishly hurting the team.
  6. I suppose this is the problem. I expected one of the starting pitchers would be well-versed enough that you'd pinch hit them for the better chance at getting it down. I was honestly thinking they'd just PH with Woodruff (or another starter who is more practiced at bunting)
  7. I feel like Philly is peaking, but Toronto is just a better team. Hard to really say. Whoever wins the series is who I'd rather not play. Doesn't really make sense, but I feel like both teams (and either GSW or Houston) present difficult matchups from here on out. I'm not really looking that far ahead at this point. Enjoying it all as it comes...
  8. If people want to ignore people, cool. That's great. Let's stop calling other posters morons and anything else. That would be great guys. Thanks.
  9. Pitch 1 was at the bottom of the zone when it was caught, so it for sure caught the plate when it crossed. 7 looked outside by a touch, so I'll let that one slide.
  10. Yep. That's just poor baseball IQ. I'm wondering if there was a mis-read sign or something. Thames acted like a double steal was on. Could be wrong.
  11. He really hasn't been good at all. Playing with fire any time you put him in a high leverage situation. Which is why I said "I know the peripherals don't like Guerra"....
  12. If he laughs or smiles, there's a contingent that says he's not trying or just doesn't show that he cares. I'm not sure what this guy has to do. I think the only way he can escape the bf.net wrath is to just put his head down, quietly play the game, and never show emotion.
  13. I don't think Brogdon is going to be a contributor in this series. At this point, a few minutes to start to shake off the rust would be all I'd expect from him. I'd sure love to know what Patty C is going to show up each game. He plays with a high energy and goes after every rebound and loose ball with ferocious determination, but sometimes he just looks really lost on defense and completely overplays his man or the ball and makes dumb fouls or gives up easy passing lanes or easy dribble drives to the basket. When he's on and focused, he *seems* like he's an asset on the court, it just seems like (and this could just be my perception) when he's overplaying, he's just a detriment out there.
  14. Bledsoe was active on defense all night when he was on the floor. Surely don't want him shooting 4/15, but the defense as a whole *until the last 4 minutes* was pretty solid, and Bledsoe played a role in that. Celtics are starting to come apart a little bit. Kyrie wanting playing hero ball and attack the rim, and getting ticked at his teammates when they don't get him the ball is going to play right into the Bucks strength of defending the interior the way they do.
