    What the hell is Cade Horton doing on the mound then? Wild strategy!

    There's never going to be a salary cap. The owners would have to open up their books to prove what revenues are and there's no chance in hell they ever do that. You have no idea what you're talking about as usual.

    This feels like a situation where it's an if not A then B and after that decision is made, we get to C1 and C2 dependent on which of those moves happen. A is signing Imai and if that doesn't happen, they pivot to B, signing Bregman. Depending on which of those happens, they either trade for a bat, stand pat there and sign a higher end reliever (both of these if they sign Imai), or trade for a front of the rotation type (if they get Bregman).

    I have no idea why they sat in that weird zone defense for like 6-7 minutes in the second half while Nebraska got and easy look every time down the court when they were in it. Baffling.

    Nah. I've been here for over 20 years. You're just another pimple on the ass of the internet.

    On one hand, this dude going to be an unavoidable nuisance as long as he's around and I'm already done with him. On the other hand, I'd be incredibly shocked if this person doesn't have some sort of ASD and struggles with social cues so I feel like I should be much more patient than I'm currently willing to be with him.

    Yeah, it was pretty bad. I'm pretty sure Thornton didn't get touched by a defender on one of his drives to the basket and got a foul called. There were several other plays where there was almost no contact and they blew the whistle and then they'd allow a wrestling match down low the next time down the floor. The UConn FL game was waaaaaay more physical with less calls.

    Some great games last night. Illinois winning with an off night from Boswell is a real positive in my eyes. The comeback from BYU was great even though they tried to blow it with that weird delayed timeout before the buzzer beater and the UConn Florida game was just an absolute battle from start to finish.

    A smart organization get's him now with less wear and tear on his arm. Your whole premise is based on Gore not being able to change how he pitches with better data and coaching. Did you not watch cade Horton develop before your very eyes even after he got to MLB last year? Sure, he throws more strikes, but when you have a smart coaching staff who can leverage what a player does best the results are going to improve. Seeing what he's done to the Cubs the last 2 times he's faced them (14 IP, 16K, 1ER) you have to think the guy has some pretty big upside.

    This was awful for me. Missouri now has legal sports gambling and one of the sign up perks I got was a free $300 bet. I had TB as one leg of a 4 game parlay that would have paid me like $375 if they won because I hit the other 3 legs. Bastards.

    This. He has fall off a cliff written all over him and we'd all be pulling our hair out watching him not get to balls Shaw easily handles, especially with the existing pitching staff.

    On the other hand, meaningful games in December is a nice change of pace from most of the last 15 years.

    Yeah, the deferred money staying with LA would make that much more palatable for sure, which was the crux of my post. The AAV isn't bad at all if you remove the deferrals.
  15. mul21
    You'd rather send a worse hitter out there every day? Weird take for a team you're a fan of.
  16. mul21
    Him signing with the Dodgers after already having been on the team is a pretty good indication he wanted to stay there, regardless of interest from other teams. Assuming this is accurate, I think the practicality of this option depends a lot on how the deferred money would be handled, especially since the Cubs just don't do that. Annual salary breakdown: 2025: $10 million ($7.5 million deferred) 2026: $12 million ($8 million deferred) 2027: $14.5 million ($8 million deferred) 2028: Club option for $15 million with a $6.5 million buyout

    To put Seiya in RF and have another very good bat in the lineup. This isn't complicated. Seiya isn't a great fielder, but he's not near the butcher a lot of people make him out to be.

    I actually watched the 4th quarter last night since they were on national TV and besides the complete and total lack of defense in the NBA in general, the Bulls inability to handle the pick and roll is an abomination. Orlando got to the rim with ease every single time they ran one.

    On the contrary, I bet all his victims are people who don't return their carts.

    Just show him some of Trump's tweets about Chicago. 😜

    The thing is that there are essentially zero long term commitments at this point. Another 4 years of Dansby and then everyone else is gone after 2026 so there's a natural reset even if the structure of the CBA remains similar to what's in place now. They're only locked into $31.5 million for 2027 right now, so the pattern of not going over 2 years in a row would be easy to stick to even with a couple big long term deals because Shota, Taillon, Boyd, Happ, Suzuki, and Nico are all off the books after 2026.

    Anybody have thoughts on promising targets from this list?
  23. mul21
    Is there any reason Benedet can't slide inside? Seems like he's an ideal fit inside with the strong run blocking, solidness against the bull rushes and struggle with the quick moves from DE.

    Fun game between Illinois and Texas Tech last night. Possibly the softest flagrant foul I've ever seen was called in the last 30 seconds against Illinois but fortunately they were able to overcome that and hang on. If that call is the new standard for a flagrant, it's going to be a long season in the B1G.

    I'll feel a lot better about this game if TJ Edwards is healthy. The defense is much worse with Sewell in the middle and that missed tackle damn near cost them the game last week.
