  1. Profar can't play CF, that would leave you without a real CF. Unless you trade Tucker and get a CF back in the deal. Cintron and Snitker mean the same shitty offensive approach.
  2. Easily in the play in games and potentially challenging for the 6th seed, after what I saw last night, it's going to be a struggle again. This team improved by 19 games last year with essentially the same roster. Teams that contend for playoff spots don't lose games like last night to shitty teams after leading by 18 points.
  3. The problem is that it was the same shit we saw all last season. Doing the same shit as last season, is going to lead to another 41-41 record and no playoffs. This team as constructed is going to struggle to make the play-in games, that is unacceptable to the fan base that has been patient.
  4. We'd also want to replace Van Vleet since Mitchell and Van Vleet are small guards that would play on ball.
  5. I read an article today that mentioned Teoscar to the Astros for 3-$71M. Had a career year at 33 for the Dodgers, everyday LF. I don't hate it. Dana Brown was in the Toronto organization when they traded for him.
  6. Totally agree, but I think of the hidden metrics of K/BB rates as a part of that aging. I think Altuve established himself as a supserstar in 2014. Since then, the difference between his K and BB rates has averaged 5.65. Last year it was 10.5, the only other year it was that bad was the 2020 Covid season. That was also the highest K rate of his career at 18.6, last year it was 17.4. It might not matter, but I don't think it is a sustainable track to reach 3K.
  7. So were they kicked off the team before being kicked out of school, or are they no longer on the team because Penn State expelled them. There is a difference and it's big.
  8. Striking out limits his chances for hits, he is obviously starting the decline portion of his career. If he K rate continues to trend like it did last season, those are a lot of PAs where he doesn't get a hit. There's also the possibility that he completely falls off the cliff like Abreu did, and not being able to control the strike zone contribues to that.
  9. White is only 26. Should have plenty of juice left. Now go trade for a OG and/or OC.
  10. Unless his BB/K rates improve from last season, I don't think there is anyway he reaches 3K.
  11. It's time to start considering the coaching is bad. I like Ime, but he had the perfect roster in Boston for his style of coaching and play. He doesn't have two elite guys here that can score efficiently like Brown and Tatum. His rotations in the 2nd half were awful, he panicked when Green started chucking up bricks and tried to go small and the Hornets ripped us a new asshole because no one outside Sengun could get a rebound.
  12. and there he was forcing a big TO on Lamelo Ball. Green's stat line is 2 REBS, 0 ASTS, 0 STLS, 0 BLKS, -6; that is terrible.
  13. Whitmore with a +10 in his 7 1st half minutes, 0 2nd half minutes, he must have been making Green look bad.
  14. Still can't shoot and get no calls from the officials. Sengun is getting hammered down low and has only shot 3 FTs.
  15. Those 3 are 15-29, 6-7, 7-7 so the rest of the team is 7-24, 1-10, 0-0. And just like that, Green bricks 3 wide open 3's.
  16. I still don't understand how when you fall down on your own you maintain your pivot foot? That used to be an automatic traveling.
  17. Disappointing, it looks like Adams is hurt. He wasn't out there during intros, and Landale was the 1st big off the bench.
  18. Hey, someone other than Green or Sengun scored.
  19. Lulz, Jalen Green has supposedly grown 2" in this off-season. He was just announced as 6'6" during the intros.
  20. Good defensive IF coach. Said he was going to work with the minor league IFs as well.
  21. That is interesting because they play at Pittsburgh on Thursday.
