Yay, they reported! Only like 87 weeks until the season starts /#IHateSpringTraining

The Big Ten is super bad this year Wisconsin 10-1 21-3 Maryland 9-3 21-4 Purdue 9-3 20-5 Northwestern 7-4 18-6 Michigan State 6-5 14-10 Minnesota 6-6 18-7 Iowa 6-6 14-11 Penn State 6-7 14-12 Michigan 5-6 15-9 Indiana 5-7 15-10 Ohio State 5-8 15-11 Nebraska 4-8 10-14 Illinois 4-9 14-12 Rutgers 2-11 13-13 puuuuuuke

I'd rather they be a 10 win team I can completely ignore, frankly

At this point, I'd rather them fall into the Lottery than squeak out an 8 seed

Stop trying to change baseball so that people who don't like baseball might watch once in a while

I thought this was a joke. I can't horsefeathering believe they are making another season of this trash SEVEN YEARS LATER. And they have basically the entire cast and are just going to retcon that "haha jk we didn't kill the main character after all." I'm realllly hoping they embrace the absurdity. Maybe he wakes up in jail and the first three seasons were all a dream. NOW he REALLY has to break out of prison

Apparently the Lumber 84 CEO is a pro-Trump person and the ad was "misconstrued" as pro-immigration

The Stanley Cup playoffs will be epic

Holy horsefeathers, this ad

Well that was something

This is the Super Bowl equivalent of blowing a 3-1 series lead

Look at corporate America being all resisty with these Super Bowl commercials

I think he's a good example of why counting stats are a bad way to measure HoF candidates

http://www.hardballtimes.com/the-legend-of-danny-goodwin/ Expected to be a power-hitting catcher, but messed up his shoulder on his throwing arm and basically wrecked him as a catcher. Sucked defensively as a 1B and never panned out as a hitter in the bigs and that was that. That's a pity. Then again, these 1st rounds are littered with wasted potential

I want to know the story of Danny Goodwin. Draft #1 overall TWICE and a -1.7 career bWAR

This is bWAR, not fWAR, though Fangraphs only has him slightly higher at 19.0

Just for fun, the career bWAR of all the #1 overall picks since 1965 * = no MLB service time bold = still active 117.7 - Alex Rodriguez (1993) 85.0 - Chipper Jones (1990) 83.6 - Ken Griffey Jr. (1987) 50.0 - Joe Mauer (2001) 43.8 - Adrian Gonzalez (2000) 42.0 - Darryl Strawberry (1980) 38.5 - Harold Baines (1977) 34.3 - B.J. Surhoff (1985) 33.1 - Rick Monday (1965) 32.3 - Darin Erstad (1995) 31.9 - David Price (2007) 31.7 - Andy Benes (1988) 28.5 - Mike Moore (1981) 28.1 - Josh Hamilton (1999) 26.9 - Floyd Bannister (1976) 26.7 - Justin Upton (2005) 26.2 - Tim Belcher (1983) 21.7 - Bob Horner (1978) 21.5 - Bryce Harper (2010) 20.9 - Ben McDonald (1989) 18.8 - Pat Burrell (1998) 18.2 - Stephen Strasburg (2009) 17.6 - Jeff Burroughs (1969) 16.7 - Jeff King (1986) 15.8 - Phil Nevin (1992) 13.0 - Kris Benson (1996) 11.5 - Shawon Dunston (1982) 10.1 - Carlos Correa (2012) 9.4 - Gerrit Cole (2011) 9.4 - Ron Blomberg (1967) 7.2 - Mike Ivie (1970) 5.5 - Tim Foli (1968) 4.8 - Bill Almon (1974) 3.1 - Luke Hochever (2006) 2.5 - Delmon Young (2003) 2.2 - Paul Wilson (1994) 2.1 - Matt Bush (2004) 1.3 - Tim Beckham (2008) 0.7 - David Clyde (1973) 0.4 - Dave Roberts (1972) 0.0 - Mickey Moniak (2016) * 0.0 - Dansby Swanson (2015) * 0.0 - Brady Aiken (2014) * 0.0 - Mark Appel (2013) * 0.0 - Brien Taylor (1991) * 0.0 - Steven Chilcott (1966) * -0.2 - Bryan Bullington (2002) -0.5 - Matt Anderson (1997) -0.5 - Al Chambers (1979) -1.3 - Shawn Abner (1984) -1.7 - Danny Goodwin (1975+1971)

I'm bored so I'm making some baseball quizzes on Sporcle. I'm looking at all the first rounds of the amateur drafts, and I don't know if there was a worse year than 1975 http://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?draft_type=junreg&query_type=year_round&draft_round=1&year_ID=1975 Rick Cerone's 8.1 career bWAR is #1 in that year's first round, and all the players in the first round combined for a 10.7 career bWAR. WOOF ETA: By contrast, the 1977 draft has six players with a career bWAR over 20, with a total round career bWAR of 264.8

Just watched that NLCS vid......Fowler is all over that thing. :(

That dude who was bitching about this wasn't from the area, right? Because that would be hilarious if it was the same guy

It reminds me of when USC had so many 5 star recruits that some of them just never got playing time (see: Matt Cassel)

PSU signed Tariq Castro-Fields as well

Penn State's recruiting class is a real-life Key&Peele sketch
