  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. White is only 26. Should have plenty of juice left. Now go trade for a OG and/or OC.
  5. Unless his BB/K rates improve from last season, I don't think there is anyway he reaches 3K.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Whitmore with a +10 in his 7 1st half minutes, 0 2nd half minutes, he must have been making Green look bad.
  9. Still can't shoot and get no calls from the officials. Sengun is getting hammered down low and has only shot 3 FTs.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Disappointing, it looks like Adams is hurt. He wasn't out there during intros, and Landale was the 1st big off the bench.
  13. Hey, someone other than Green or Sengun scored.
  14. Lulz, Jalen Green has supposedly grown 2" in this off-season. He was just announced as 6'6" during the intros.
  15. Good defensive IF coach. Said he was going to work with the minor league IFs as well.
  16. That is interesting because they play at Pittsburgh on Thursday.
  17. Gerry's notes on the scrimmage
  18. I get the feeling Green and his reps wanted a shorter deal to "maximize" his earning window. I am happy both guys got what they apparently wanted and this isn't an issue this season. Both contracts not being max's is big for the Rockets. I hope it works out with both guys because they gave the Rockets massive savings when they could have played out the season and gotten a max offer from another team that the Rockets would have had to match. I think both guys really want to be Rockets, good for them.
  19. Makes him easier to trade for a star now, but yeah this is a great deal for the Rockets.
  20. Neither Green or Sengun have max contract offers. This isn't surprising because the last player to get a max off a rookie deal was Bam Adebayo in 2020. Today is the deadline to sign an extension is today. Looks more and more that the Rockets will let both become restricted FAs after this season.
  21. Kenyon Green is a major problem, the dude is fucking stupid and doesn't recognize anything complicated like a T&E twist/stunt. It's like watching the Texas OL in 2021. Slowik is also having a rough go in his sophomore season, because their is tape now and NFL DCs that have the personnel just overload the OL with numbers. It also sucks that Dell has become a complete aftertought in this offense and it's not like Diggs is getting a lot of targets either.
