  1. Huh, I wonder where they got the idea for this...
  2. Uh oh, I guess someone didn't hear him talk about tariffs like eleventy billion times on the campaign trail.
  3. Nice win. The Twins do suck, but they could be the slumpbuster this team needs to break out of their funk.
  4. This one is gonna be used a lot over the next few years....
  5. He also should get back on defense instead of standing under the hoop being upset about missing. Had he done that, they don't give up that open 3 so easily.
  6. Lakers/Warriors tomorrow night should be a great game to watch. The Warriors were locked in last night and beat the Grizzlies in what was a closer game than what the end score showed. They have a chance of stealing the 4 seed from the Lakers this week if they can beat them twice.
  7. Need to hire Michael Brantley to be the next hitting coach to takeover whenever Citron gets canned. This team hasn't been the same on offense since he retired, and that dude knew how to get on base.
  8. Denver too. 2 games up on the Nuggets with 6 games to go.
  9. Classic Russ, colossal dumbass play on that closeout, and he had no chance of blocking it.
  10. First Lowe/Simmons podcast is up! 2+ hours of them talking NBA
  11. Get some of those torpedo bats and let the guys give it a try. Can't possibly do any worse. 3 of the 4 teams that have been using them for more than a year are at the top of that list, it's a game changer for some hitters.
  12. Don't recall seeing this posted here, but... Zach Lowe Hired By The Ringer!!! Wonderful news, I have missed having his articles to read this season. Dude is probably gonna do a bunch of pods with Simmons and friends, and he's getting his own podcast with the Ringer. "Lowe’s podcast launches next week with episodes released every Monday and Thursday. Simmons announced that he would have Lowe a guest on his podcast on Tuesday to catch up on all things basketball and talk more about the move." https://www.si.com/nba/zach-lowe-announces-hes-heading-to-the-ringer-and-nba-fans-are-thrilled
  13. It's a pretty significant change to the bat design. Manfred loves offense, so I could see him approving this league wide to increase the activity in games. Either way, the League needs to make a definitive ruling on it, because there are plenty of players who would use it if they knew it was an option. This could be a very interesting development in the game, as older players tend to lose bat speed this bat design could be used to help them maintain their hitting capability and extend their careers longer. I read somewhere that Stanton used it last year and had the fastest swing in the league and was 9 MPH faster than the average MLB swing. A 10-15% faster swing speed is a significant change that could really help a lot of players stay relevant longer, and certainly some young guys can take advantage of it.
  14. The only time it has really changed is when Westbrook won while averaging a triple double on the 10th best team in the league. Otherwise it has always been the top player of a team with a top 5 record overall.
  15. Looking good going into the home stretch. This team was 41-41 last year, so they look to improve on that by about 12-14 wins overall. Really fun to watch them when they get to clobber a lesser opponent. Really hope they can turn Green into Booker somehow this offseason, it would be just what this team needs to get a ring.
  16. Fan made GTA style poster:
  17. What is that, 2 ground ball outs for Framber so far? I also don't know why they boo Soto, dude is a badass player. He didn't ask to become a Yankee, and really, we should all thank him for leaving them high and dry.
  18. Cams first hit! 20250327_154002-1.mp4
  19. He seems scared to pitch to Yordan. Can't blame him
  20. 100 win season incoming! Let's gooooooo!
  21. Mets over, Dodgers under. Cleveland over, Yankees under Cam Smith for AL, Bubba Chandler for the NL The Mets got a lot better this offseason and should be able to trade for more talent mid-season. If Lindor can play well to start the season, like he did to end last season, they should be in great shape to win a lot more games this year. Holmes moving to SP will be interesting, but I think he can do it. I think the injury bug catches the Dodgers this year and derails their plans of a 100 win season. Cleveland made some moves, but primarily they should have a better starting rotation this year. If Bieber can come back mid-season and be anything close to what he was, they will be in great shape for the playoffs. I think they will promote a few guys to play 2B and OF during the season. Jhonk should be a starter and mash a ton of homers right behind Jram. Yankees lost Soto in free agency, Cole to TJ surgery, Stanton's arms are falling off and they have a bunch more injuries to deal with before playing even 1 game so far. Not looking great for their season in a very tough division.
