imb

"what? thats crazy. we dont even have a team! why did you call me at my job in the world trade center to tell me this?"

saw a thing that said both tatum and halliburton tore their right achilles, which isnt as necessary for a right handed player as their left achilles. KD tore his right achilles and outside of what im sure was an awful rehab process during a missed year, was more than fine afterward. but maybe dame is dead who knows

Achilles tears have always been thought of as career altering, but KD tore his achilles in the playoffs in the exact same way (in his mid 30s), missed a year and came back and might have even gotten more efficient. I think Tatum, Halli and Dame (we'll see I guess based on age, maybe he's the outlier) will come back fine. The bigger problem is that they're all max guys and their teams have to go a year without them and will all look different by the time they're back. I think the pacers are destined to lose Turner (he was awful all series so not sure if that matters) and nesmith before halliburton comes back. Rosters change so quickly in the nba that one burnt year can really kill you.

Pete is on pace for the second-best season by fWAR the cubs have had in 30 years. better than KB's MVP season, better than Sammy's MVP season. It would trail only Sammy's 2001 - 64 bombs and a .328/.437/.737 slash lol

just dont go to the dodgers meat grinder

This is probably the most fun matchup you could design out of this playoffs and both teams are more than living up to it. Great finals so far, as good as it gets

there's no mystery to what happened. baez is a wildcard free-swinger, that was always going to catch up to him. Rizzo and Bryant are big guys with bad backs. That's pretty much it.

and we're in first baby long live the king

i know you're not a real gooner or he would have already been your favorite player. real jerkheads been knowing

his .290 iso ranks 11th among CF in a single season since 2010 judge trout covid acuna josh hamilton george springer covid aj pollock (wtf)

our pitching rotation options

i havent watched every ab but he seems like he doesn't chase in the same way Javy did where you know his brain was making him swing regardless of what or where the pitch was. If anything I expect the adjustment to be pitchers pitching around him instead of challenging him.

have this weird feeling we're gonna torch Greene

i know its just dumb twitter kids getting their heads twisted around in the endless search for online engagement, but i genuinely dont understand it. He definitely is trying to draw fouls, but it just seems so much less grifty than say a Luka or a Jokic who are constantly flopping on non-contact plays in order to get to the line. SGA's thing is putting the defender in a bad position, then waiting until there's contact and embellishing it. We just played Denver in a series where Jokic would basically get tired of being defended, so he would run up the court until he found a stationary defender, then just do this insanely cringey looking swim-move hop into them to try and hook their arms and draw an off-ball foul. We'd go down the court, SGA would blow by his defender, put them in jail and pull up for a jumper, drawing contact and going to the line. And it was SGA's play that everyone was mad about. We got beat by Luka last year while he was doing rip throughs 36 feet away to try and go to the line. A lot of the contact on SGA is marginal but at least they're fouls by the letter of the law. he draws fouls the same way Kobe did, by having too many counters to guard legally. I would like the NBA to maybe direct officials to let a lot of the marginal contact go, especially if the contact is created by the offensive player (even if the defender is out of position) but that's a pretty narrow line to draw so it's probably harder than I'm making it out to be. I think that would stop a lot of the foul-hunting that SGA does and the flopping that these jokic/luka/embiid types employ.

woke up to find my 6 year old had somehow logged into his xbox by himself and spent $200 on xbox dollars. Didn't even phase me! can't touch me the day after a blowout WCF win. Enjoy the fortnite skins bud!

great guy

1 war out of Shaw would count as 4 war because our other options are negative 3 war #boymath

Starting???? i was not a Suzuki head (I got tricked by the injuries my bad) but yeah he’s an awesome dude

Robert has a 69 (nice) wRC so far this year with negative defense to boot. what was it i said about injury prone guys losing it suddenly and never getting it back? Bryant is another even closer-to-home example of this

i wouldnt make this trade personally!

as round as he is there shouldn't be a single rough edge

i dont know if this is a bad thing or just a symptom of society's changing interests but i think it's interesting how fewer and fewer kids seem to care as deeply about actual competitive sports (in the sense of on-field stakes) while growing increasingly interested in meaningless anti-competitive exhibitions like this.

heaney would be a smart pickup
