that bottom 3 is too funny. one guy who can't shoot and two guys who get put in action every single time they're on defense

his tangible skills might be the best ever. But his intagible skills might also be the best ever. It's really crazy. He's shohei on steroids in a sport where 1 guy can make you a championship contender. When you start thinking about what his next decade is going to look like, a fun exercise is to imagine how easy it is to put a comptetent team around him (easiest ever) and how difficult it is to conceptulize a way to slow him down (toughest ever.) Pretty scary concept. It's really just his outlier size working, potentially, against him and i really dont want it to get him. I wanna see how far he can push things

I think Wemby is, or will be very soon, the best player in the world (and eventually ever as long as he stays healthy.) But it is funny to see how much better he is against OKC than everyone else. Part of that is that he's just such an awesome competitor and he turns it up against OKC. But he's also just so uniquely built to frustrate us. He shuts the paint down so you dont have to help and we have no open 3s. We have no one big enough to wear him down physically. He's incredible. I dont even know what to say. I can't even bad faith an argument against him.

the mathis stuff seems pretty simple. He's 22 and he's in A-ball. He's the same age as Kurtz, Caglianone, Sal Stewart, Caminero, etc. If he's an actual prospect and a good hitter, he should be mashing without striking out. Kurtz is obv a different level prospect, but he's the same position and the same age. When he was 22, he also had a good walk rate and a 30 percent strikeout rate. He was just doing in the MLB, hitting .290 with 35 bombs. Cags was striking out 20 percent of the time in AA and he can't make contact in the majors.

the bulls are really a mess. they finally miss the play-in and their reward is (likely) landing in the worst spot in the draft. too low to get a blue chip, but too high (and you're too bad) to take some older college junior role-player. if you end up at 9 or 10 just trade the pick, let billy go (he will not do a rebuild) and crash out next season. I like Buzelis and Giddey but they aren't even championship building blocks, so if a tank year costs you them too, well ... ok fine

3 weeks ago i would have told you i had no faith in matthew boyd and cade horton to be good and/or make it to the ASB and I still would have said this is an 88-win playoff team. there is plenty of middling pitching languishing around, the cubs' 2026 has rested and still rests on the defense (elite) and the bats (TO BE DETERMINED) im not trying to be an optimist, because i hate this team franchise and front office, but i think we're fine. -
there's probably the same likelihood that steele is done as a relevant pitcher than there is that he comes back and posts a sub-4 era this year
-
good, maybe jed will stop trying to stock our rotation with soft-tossers now that he knows they just get hurt like the flamethrowers anyway get. real. horsefeathers. pitchers. please.

there was a split at nsbb in the early aughts between the Steve Stone fundamentalists and the Kent Mercker extremists. The Mercker extremists combined with Adam Dunn and Len Kasper truthers to create da louneg, where we mostly came up with insane plots aimed at making certain posters mad. Once Facebook took off, we began spying on NSBB members and I gotta say, 20+ years later as a 44-year-old adult, I am at times embarassed by how much I know about you people.

all of the big scoring games are a little fraudulent, except ironically maybe Luka's 70-pointer (he went like 25-33 from the field lol) Even Wilt, they say the other team was intentionally fouling late to let him get to 100. Kobe and Bam both went crazy and then got the "horsefeathers it lets see what happens if we leave him out there" treatment. I will say that the Wizards were really working on Bam, a lot of those fouls were legit. To me the bigger issue is Kobe's 81 still looked like basketball in the 4th. Bam's looked like LA Fitness ball. Devin Booker had a 70-point night and it got pretty scammy late too. Looking it up, I forgot Mitchell and Dame both had 70-pointers that look real. Bam's real problem is he beat Kobe and the shots he beat Kobe on were gimmick free throws with the Heat fouling the Wizards up 30 to get Bam the ball back faster. I dont know, it was cool to see but I dont know that anyone is gonna care too much

a walk/single+a sb does not equal a double. You ever see someone knock a runner in with a stolen base?
