    There's a larger conversation taking place in the journalism thread

    Gerrit Cole, Stephen Strasburg, and Carlos Correa were all #1 overall picks. Verlander and Bregman were #2's, while Greinke and Rendon were both 6th in their respective years. Max Scherzer and George Springer were #11's (Springer in probably the best draft class of this century), and Trea Turner 13th in his year. The merits of tanking can be debated, but this series does not make the argument you seem to think it does. High draft picks being good doesn't = tanking works. Strasburg was drafted a decade ago, and is on his second contract. Rendon 8 years ago, and under no circumstances does a tanking team draft in the double digits. The Nats are not a tanking success story. Gerrit Cole and Justin Verlander have nothing to do with the Astros tanking.

    I feel like I'm a good person. Sometimes I feel bad that I don't care at all about either the players or the owners, other than I wish good health for them. Wishing good health for the owners probably makes you better than I. I mean I don’t necessarily wish them BAD health...

    Astros admit they were wrong about what happened, Fire Taubman.

    https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/wide-open-3s-and-ranking-how-each-nba-team-fared-at-making-defenses-pay/ This from 2016 breaks it down by team shooting percentage, but more interesting was this So they were a couple shots off from the 2016 average in openness allowed.

    I'd imagine that's close to league average when "open"

    I tried to parlay game 1 with the under figuring they weren't putting up more than 3 on Cole.
  8. SouthSideRyan
    Is Theo broken?

    Offense scores 1 TD, it's the kicker's fault!
  10. SouthSideRyan
    Went back to check the game log and forgot Eagles scored that last TD on 4th down. Woof

    Jeopardy amounts changed in ‘01. The big change for Jennings was they removed the 5 day max. Winnings have exploded of late, they have no need to double.
  12. SouthSideRyan
    That horsefeathering bunt call

    I was thinking Phelps had a dumbass player option, guess it's a team option for 5M instead thanks to Joe bumping that up by 2M by clearing his games threshold.

    I mean, Kapler played 2 separate stints with the Red Sox and was beloved enough that Gammons cried on camera because Nick Swisher struck him out, but yeah they’re going to interview him to find out the passwords to the Phillies scouting program.

    Did I miss a meme where everyone they interview that isn’t NSBB approved is some sort of undercover research on other franchises?

    Remember when we had too many shortstops? Torres has a -14 UZR at second base. Right, he’s a shortstop

    Pretty impressive how Kevin Frandsen and Trevor Plouffe managed to figure out the secret to Tyler Glasnow while he put up a 1.78 ERA this season. They'll certainly have coaching jobs by tomorrow.

    I'm disappointed in this board and its Clue knowledge that Logan got 3 hearts, and I got nothing on page 1.
  20. SouthSideRyan
    I hope it’s Crane Kenney
  21. SouthSideRyan
    This is not a thing.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    Was hoping their interest was just a red herring.

    I'd rather the Nats not make the World Series so I don't have to hear a bunch of trash about Harper being a cancer and spending money on FAs is stupid. I'd also rather the Braves not make the World Series because of their taxpayer-funded stadium, the Brewers and Cardinals(moreso) for obvious reasons. So go Dodgers in the NL? And go AL regardless. A's Twins Rays Astros Yankees Dodgers Brewers Braves Nationals

    No. That’s the one good thing from this year. PECOTA and those smug pricks were wrong with their garbage projection system. They projected 82 wins. Which is where we've been for the last 10 days and will be 10 days from now.
  25. SouthSideRyan
    Do they get the Jets at all without Darnold? That would be my only other guess as a chance for them to win. Nah, they host them 11/3, on the road 12/8. I guess they could beat the Bengals in game 15, depending on which team needs the loss more.
