  1. Good pitch framing, good arm, but man, you'd think an MLB catcher wouldn't straight up whiff on just catching so many pitches.
  2. Yelich golfed that one out. Yup. That was low and away, and he lifted it and pulled it out.
  3. Braun is 36, made of cracked glass and Bubblegum and duct tape, and just isn't that good anymore. Most 36 year old ball players just really aren't that good. Every year he comes to spring training and he's like man I'm really feeling good this year this is the best I've felt in a while, and a lot of people buy into that and think that's going to be the year he's going to play a hundred and thirty games and suddenly have a 950 ops again. Dude is our Pujols. He is done. He might get hot for a week here or there and have a nice stretch of games. But as far as being an effective regular player that time is done. He's 36 years old. Unless he gets back on the juice, he's done being an effective regular player. He's 36, he's past his prime. He's way past his prime. He doesn't have the bat speed or reflexes to be swinging that telephone pole of a bat he insists on carrying up to the plate with him every time he goes up there. He can't protect the inside corner and he doesn't have the bat speed to drive outside pitches to right field anymore. The Santana trade is done. It is what it is we got a guy who will be a good fourth outfielder and a decent pinch hitter and an occasional spot starter. Lamenting that Santana is gone doesn't really bother me. He is one of the worst defensive outfielders in The Game and his defense is so bad it will offset whatever offense he provides unless his Ops is 950 or better all season. Our best hope now is that Corey Ray or Taylor or someone else will take that next step forward soon
  4. We'll have game times/dates soon I expect. Lots of analysts and experts picking the Celts to take this series because of "Playoff Experience". Go figure...
  5. The ending of the Portland/OKC series was ludicrous. Lillard dropping the 35 footer for the win was insane. Paul George calling it a "bad shot"..... maybe so PG, but he made it so... series over.
  6. Keuchel went 7 or more innings 11 times last year. Gonzalez went 7 or more innings 7 times last year. I know you're not saying we should sign Keuchel (maybe you are?!?), but Gonzalez did occasionally go 7 innings, just last year.
  7. Mods pouring it on! Thanks by the way... I just got chewed out by Coach Cooper, and he said to put an end to this stuff, ASAP.
  8. Let's not make yet another thread about the finances and the who/what/why/how/and when of a Kimbrel deal. That's being discussed ad nauseam in literally every other thread on the site. Take it to the Kimbrel thread please. This thread is about the GIo Gonzalez signing. If you want to discuss the trickle down effects of that signing to the rest of the bullpen, awesome, but if we want to discuss the financials of a possible Kimbrel deal (somehow, yet again), take it to the Kimbrel thread. Thanks.
  9. A few minutes ago this was a 10 point lead.
  10. Good lord watching the pistons flop is flat out sickening.
  11. Aguilar needs to go on the DL, then be sent on a rehab assignment to AAA to work on the timing. You can't just put someone on the injured list because they suck. There Are Rules against that. And if Aguilar were to claim the Brewers put him on the IL because he sucks the players union could file a grievance.
  12. 94-95 Rockets went 47-35 and were a 6 seed and won the NBA finals. 98-99 Knicks were the 8 seed (50 game season) and went to the finals. I guess even if an 8 seed has no chance of going all the way, it can still impact the playoffs a lot by taking out the 1 seed. Then you have a four or five with a lot easier path to the finals. Those are two pretty good counter examples, but I’d argue there is less parity in the league today than there was 20 years ago. I didn’t enjoy the first round when the Bucks were the 8-seed and I’m not finding it much more enjoyable as the top seed. From 1980 to 1991 The Lakers made to the NBA Finals 9 times. That's not a glaring example of parity. Philadelphia, Boston, and Detroit managed to eat up every Eastern conference finals appearance during the 80's. Then it was pretty much BUlls, Bulls, Bulls in the 90's. The NBA has never really been about parity. From 1980 til now (38 years!) the NBA has had 11 different champions. Just for comparison sake, in that time the NFL has had 17 different champs, and surprisingly, the league that doesn't have a salary cap, MLB, has 22 different champions.
  13. Even striking out as much as he is, Thames would be providing SOMETHING to the offense, which Aguilar is doing none of right now. I'd even let Thames play vs lefties right now. Aguilar is doing nothing at all. He's just not seeing the ball, he's trying to pull everything, and he's just not "on" for whatever reason.
  14. 94-95 Rockets went 47-35 and were a 6 seed and won the NBA finals. 98-99 Knicks were the 8 seed (50 game season) and went to the finals. I guess even if an 8 seed has no chance of going all the way, it can still impact the playoffs a lot by taking out the 1 seed. Then you have a four or five with a lot easier path to the finals.
  15. He still does. Its just dormant and he needs to go on a spirit journey to unlock it again. Or something.
  16. On easter sunday espn has the win odds after the first half of inning 1 at dodgers.... 66.6% Good omen or bad?
  17. I've always been on the Hill bandwagon. It's interesting though.. he puts up some "empty" stat lines on some nights, a lot like Tony Snell, but just watching the game, you can see what Hill does, whereas with Snell, you can see what Snell doesn't do, (which is honestly, a lot). Nice seeing Mirotic getting his shot back quickly tonight, and Lopez really taking over the offense for a while.
  18. Watching Hill integrate into an integral part of this team over the course of the season has been really interesting. At first he was putting up some really empty stat lines, but you could still see how much work the guy did out on the court, and how much of a difference maker he could be, even if he wasn't doing it at first. If the Bucks go all the way to the finals (and/or win it all) he's going to be a huge reason why.
  19. The Pistains flop more than any team I've seen. It's honestly kind of embarrassing. Like watching soccer players flop and flail around. Drummond is the worst. I know I keep saying it but good lord, he's like a big floppy baby.
  20. Watching Thon Maker trying to post up and body Ilyasova in the paint was hilarious.
  21. Yes, hopefully, this series goes in 4 so we don't have anyone on Detroit taking a cheap shot at someone. If by "someone" you mean "Drummond" then yes, I agree. That dude is a drama mama. Any contact at all, and he wants to fight.
  22. This game is gettin reaaaaally chippy.
