    The season has arrived. It's not on full display. You were a year or ten too early. End of story.
  2. homer
    Yeah no kidding. Alonso, Guerrero, Senzel, Robles, Hiura, and even that Lowe kid in Tampa Bay (I'm sure I'm forgetting others).
  3. homer
    Right on schedule. With yesterday's day at the plate (June 1) Hiura is now second only to Yelich in BA, SLG, and OPS. And he's just getting started. Wait until he cuts down on his strikeouts. Now if we could just get the piggy backing thing worked out...
  4. homer
    I don't think he's a burner but he's no sloth. He's got decent speed.
  5. homer
    Only thing I can think is that they would be trying to build up some kind of value in order to trade them. As it stands you'd get jack squat in return.
  6. homer
    Stop responding to him. Use the ignore feature or whatever you have to do but stop.
  7. homer
    Stop with the single emoji responses. Why don't you guys just ignore each other?
  8. homer
    Counsell says Shaw is returning Tuesday and plan is to play him at 3rd. Presumably Moose to 2nd and that means Hiura to....somewhere else. They do play a couple of AL teams in a week or so. He'll probably stick around to DH and maybe platoon with Moose.
  9. homer
    I don't think Bob McGinn has written this many words on Blake Martinez. I mean really you guys are debating whether he's below average, average, or above average. Training camp can't get here fast enough.
  10. homer
    Trevor Story is 1.125 OPS at home. On the road he's .734 David Dahl is 1.024/.713 Those are crazy splits. Arenado is about the only one who's good home and away.

    Re: Lasry He wanted Messina as coach instead of Bud. He admitted he was wrong and Edens was right so maybe he's changing his tune a bit.

    They won the first two games and they dropped four in a row. They were a huge disappointment. Only thing that could have made it even worse is if Toronto went on to lose 4-0 to the Warriors. Right. Which is why Toronto winning it all will help me feel a little better. Then at least you know you lost to the best team.
  13. homer
    I feel like just about the time we start talking about sitting guys or moving them down in the order they start hitting. So time to buy low on Cain in daily fantasy leagues I guess
  14. homer
    Big catch-22 there. How can you let him make such critical long-term decisions without reassuring him that he's in the team's long-term plans? You don't want someone making those decisions if he isn't necessarily going to be with the team to sink or swim on those decisions. Without a new contract, he has incentive to make more short-sighted decisions that might look good if he goes searching for a new job next summer, but might not look as good in the long run. I don't want that. With Giannis up for free agency soon I don't think he can do anything except short term decisions.
  15. homer
    It's a tough spot. First few days of free agency will tell a lot. If Dallas comes in and offers Middleton a max contract what do you do? A lot of moving parts and ripple effects. Owners should wait and see what Horst does this offseason before giving him a big contract extension.
  16. homer
    I think a lot depends on what the Bucks think of guys like DDV, Brown, and Wilson.
  17. homer
    I'd wait until after the season. I don't think you're getting a discount mid year.
  18. homer
    I would contact the alderman for the district in which the house sits. Call them. then I would get a lawyer to write a letter to the city telling them to refund any fines, fees, etc. or you'll sue for lost wages due to not having a truck or something like that. If that doesn't work you call Tom Hooper at Contact 6

    I dunno....if Toronto wins it sorta takes the sting out a little for me.

    Toronto wins game 1.

    Jeez, Josh Bell is the new Christian Yelich.

    Losing a small amount of your total mass won't in and of itself make you quicker. It could be the workout they do to lose the weight but simply going vegan and losing 10 pounds on a 220 lbs body won't result in more quickness. Or if it does it's such a small amount as to not be noticeable. I am not saying losing weight is a bad thing. Having less mass obviously puts less stress on your joints. But usually the weight loss is due to the workouts which are what is bringing the additional stamina. My guess is guys that say they are "quicker" and just able to be at peak or near peak quickness for longer stretches of time than other guys.
  23. homer
    Trimming down definitely helps quickness. And just as importantly, you don't get tired as quickly if you're carrying less weight. Being able to be quick in short bursts is no more important than being able to maintain top speed for long periods of time chasing a guy like Norman Powell or Fred Van Vleet through screens. And even if he is just doing for his feet, that just proves my point about how his previous injuries are a concern moving forward, another point that got me some excessively incredulous replies despite being supported by known facts and, now, by Brogdon's own words. Losing 5 -10 pounds will not improve an NBA guard's quickness to the point where anyone would notice or it would improve his game one iota. He might be .001 seconds better on a three cone drill but I'm guessing it wouldn't even help that much. Losing pounds? Maybe but even then you better hope you aren't losing quick twitch muscle in the process. Again, his exact words were "I might shed a little weight" which was part of a list of things he was going to do in the off season. He didn't say "I have to lose weight" or "I am going to lose weight" he said "I might shed a little weight". But you make it sound like he's joining Jenny Craig.

    I question the sanity of anyone that gets fired up when they hear Renegade. There are literally thousands of other better crappy 70's, 80's, hair metal, whatever songs you could choose from. I don't mind the song in particular, but a former coach and teacher of mine who I worked with during summers in HS and College(he owned a side business) loved exactly that type of music. The big hair music, particularly the 80's. The worst decade for music in my opinion. Of course he thinks I'm nuts, but a lot of it is hard to listen to. BANNED
  25. homer
    All he said was "I might shed a little weight". That could mean "I don't want as much stress on my flat feet". If he loses 5 or 10 pounds it will not impact his quickness.
