one of the worst takes of all time on nsbb

if coaches don't matter then who cares that gregg is gone, easy come easy go. if they do matter, we should be striving for better.

its not

Yeah I don’t think that’s it man

tom being the worst poster across several message boards over a 20 year span is an impressive feat

do they have to be accurate or can i make stuff up

pitching is so cooked, look at the top 10 sp in fwar this year Crochet Houck Ragans Christopher Sanchez Chris Sale Glasnow Ranger Suarez Skubal Logan Webb Seth Lugo

i mean i dont care about whatever the hell that boomer is talking about. i just want to watch players who are ok with showing emotion when they feel like everyone else is half-assing it.

i dont think so. this isn't a job in the normal sense, and comparing it to your boss yelling at you because of a spreadsheet doesn't track for me. this is high-level competition, vibes and energy do matter (in my opinion) and sometimes you do need a guy you respect to yell at you for sucking. i dont think it's the difference between the team we see now and them becoming a 90-win playoff team, but i think it matters.

we're beating urugauy tonight

they very top is supposed to be very, very good. after that it's still in crapshoot territory

Thunder got rid of their biggest offensive and defensive liability (sorry bulls guys) for a defensive demon who shot 41% from 3 added Hartenstein got a top 5 draft talent didn't touch our first round pick stash Oh yeah and we have the next 3 clippers firsts and PG just left for the east coast All this off a 57-win first seed season

tom don't mention disney for some reason in every baseball post challenge

women are literally picking the bear because they dont fear them as much as they fear a man! Another point in busch's favor

who are we talking about here

as far as what we need to do at the deadline or what we will do, there's probably multiple acceptable options you could convince me are the right move. Make a big trade to get a star, sure ok. Make some smaller trades because we're not *that* far off, you don't sell off the future and we can sneak into the playoffs and maybe get lucky, sounds good. Sell off half the team and start over. Yeah for sure. The bigger thing is ... this team stinks. "They almost made the playoffs before cratering last year! They were good to start the year before injuries kicked our ass!." Every single offensive player has either stunk this year or has red flags (Busch K rate, Suzuki injury prone, Morel defense.) There's not one difference maker on offense. But that's to be expected because Jed built a defense-first team ... oh the defense has been ass all year too. The starting pitching has been a bright spot for sure. But good starting pitching only lasts for a brief period because of health, and you really have to get lucky and marry your healthy starting pitching window to your good offense/bullpen window to truly be a winning team. This team is so far from a functional offense that by the time you build one the starting pitching will likely not the diamond in the rough it has been this year. Compound that by the fact that none of the prospects look like difference makers at all. Not to boxscore scout here but one thing we've learned in the last couple of years is that the jump from AAA to the majors is bigger than maybe ever. These other teams are bringing their 1.000 OPS top 10 prospects up to the majors and they all fail. What level of confidence does anyone have that Shaw, Alcantara, Caissie, etc, are anything more than Wisdom, Happ and Suzuki, because we've seen what those guys get us. Jed has built a mid team that can't even reach that level. No matter what we do at the deadline, he has to go, he's not built for this. And if he goes, whoever comes in is gonna gut this mess anyway.

i am and personally i love a once a year horsefeathers you to these guys for having the audacity to be good at golf

it really is unwatchable. i haven't been able to stomach more than 3 innings of a game in like 3 weeks. It's so brutal

just not a lot of those guys out there i dont have anything against kompany as a coach, but bayern should be able to win that league with just about anyone on the sidelines (im aware they didnt but it took a magical neverkeusen run to make it happen.) they probably figure we take a chance on a cheap young coach no one will be mad at us for getting rid of if he fails, and then we see if there's more experienced coaches available at that point

free my bro from how darlington is describing it, the cop sounds like a maniac

“Live BP” implies the existence of dead BP. Which is what cardinals prospects take

damn i hate seeing the longtime radio and tv guys retire for age or health related reasons. always loved sterling. just an iconic voice

the ucl sure is delivering this year. thankfully they're changing the format

Took today off to watch golf but with the delay had a couple hours so went to the sim. Played pretty well. Took a couple mulligans around the green so I could practice some different types of shots but nothing that saved me any strokes to be honest. the birdie on ten was a 175 yard par 3. Rolled the drive THREE FEET SHORT. it was headed dead at it and just died. The screen started flashing while the ball was in the air, there were stars and stuff, fake crowd screaming. Thought I had it. Staff guy happened to be there and said if you get a hole in one they take your pic and put it on the wall. Made it worse. You can see three bogeys and a triple like right after lol
