    The people who gripe about Boog have clearly never spent any amount of time listening to other team's announcers that aren't the Dodgers, Mets, or Yankees. They're mostly just not good and some are downright unlistenable like whatever slop the Cardinals are throwing out there of late.

    Nico really needs to stop hitting those damn fly balls.
  3. mul21
    Yeah, I don't think the system he runs needs a pure PG when everyone on the floor passes as well as most of these guys do.

    Which is weird considering how we heard about him taking a more CF oriented approach in the spring.

    Dansby? Or someone else?

    Careful with his name and the exclamation point. I did a double take. 😂

    Yeah, with the Horton injury and how he developed last year, then essentially ran out of innings at the end of the year, it wouldn't surprise me if we see him going like 2 innings at a crack for a month or two. Then, ramp him up in June, assuming he's a viable big league option at that point, so you have him as a rotation possibility for the playoffs and you're not worried about how many innings he's thrown this season. It's certainly possible it's an injury but that would be some odd phrasing if that's the case.

    His career K rate is 26.5%. His best full season K rate is 22.1%. What you're citing here is a 22.2% K rate, which is pretty hilarious to cite as a concern when it would nearly equal his best season ever. People are just irrational about Happ and it cracks me up.

    The under the hood/peripherals from last year say he was far from sucking. There's a reason a smart team like the Dodgers kept running him out there.

    I think the shooting issues for both Michigan and Illinois were a function of the offense UConn runs. They're so much more active than most of the teams they play and don't run near as much of the high screen and roll that's so prevalent in college basketball right now. All that chasing on defense really takes a toll on your legs and impacts shooting on the other end, even the layups. I also think the amount of contact allowed in those 2 games was absolutely criminal. The championship game especially was just a rugby match and the refs didn't set the tone early in either game to reduce the amount of grabbing and pushing. Something I'd really like to see them do that UConn got away with constantly is the pushing off while driving with the off arm. It was really obvious pretty frequently and never once did it get called.

    Lotta pop ups and warning track power so far. Frustrating, especially when the defense is letting them down too.

    It was crazy how every shot that rimmed seemed to bounce out for Illinois and in for UConn. The shooting just wasn't good enough and they were absolutely getting good looks. My biggest issue with the game was that Illinois never figured out how to defend that double screen for the wing 3 and UConn hit 3 or 4 of those because they were wide open.

    Maddon trying to redefine a dirty inning to justify when he brought Lester in is just comical.
  14. mul21
    Harvey got two playable ground balls. The defense wasn't up to snuff.
  15. mul21
    He's in the prime window of schizophrenia onset and based on how wild some of the stuff he's saying is, I wouldn't be surprised if it's that or something similar.

    Man, what a screw up by the Angels being late to challenge. Hell of a slide by Miggy and I don't think that call gets reversed regardless of the call on the field. You just can't see where his hand is when the tag happens.
  17. mul21
    Betting against them and the Rockies every day is going to be profitable again.
  18. mul21
    April Fools? Hopefully?

    39/50 pitches for strikes too. That seems like a much higher ratio than he's generally had. 6 2/3 IP now and the only real damage was on a shoulder high fastball that I'm still not sure how the hitter got into as well as he did. Very encouraging overall.
  20. mul21
    It affected his overall interest in baseball. You're wildly misinterpreting what he's saying. And stop making me defend CubinNY. 😂
  21. mul21
    I don't think he's crazy, but he's definitely an entitled whiny douchebag.
  22. mul21
    The doom bonering about this team 5 games into a 162 game season is pretty hilarious.
  23. mul21
    It doesn't look nearly that sketchy on TV. Italy up 1-0 down a man for the second half should be interesting.

    I said this earlier, but I really think the Boswell and Stojakovic injuries had a lingering effect on guys like Wagler and Mirkovic. They were both playing tons of minutes when those two were out and it changed how they were playing. The defense they've played in the tournament is light years better than anything else I've seen from them this year and those guys having the legs to maintain that effort level is huge. Tomi is finally fully healthy and playing more minutes as well and I really like that Stojakovic has remained a bench guy even though he's playing starter minutes.

    At this point, for me, it's all gravy. I'd be ecstatic if they somehow win the whole thing but this run after how they looked toward the end of the season has been beyond my wildest expectations.
