President of the Reds to fans mad about their sell off: Tough horsefeathers you have no choice but to root for us. At least PTR only says those things behind closed doors.
So officially playing the Bucks. That sucks, I least wanted to play them. Another moment for Milwaukee/Wisconsin sports fans to own Chicago sports fans. That said we at least had 2 close games against them so maybe at least one of the losses isn’t by double digits
He shouldn't have been around to begin with. He hasn't been anything but terrible since 2018. He was pretty good last year on the surface. 30 appearances, 2.14 ERA, 2.01 FIP unless the underlying numbers suggest he was much worse
It's not really irrational. He swings too much. So great to have a hitter that you don’t have to worry about striking out almost ever *hits into a double play* Well horsefeathers
I’m happy with the start but trying to put it into perspective. You don’t have to go back too far to find a team that started out great against a contender and didn’t keep it up very long. *cough2021Orioles*. This team will be considerably better than that example but their ultimate ceiling is still TBD What excites me the most is the working the counts and putting pressure on the pitchers. I still think this team is going to struggle to hit for power but if they can keep grinding out ABs they can score some runs.
You have to go all the way back to….September 1, 2021 against the Twins. Steele pitched 5 shutout innings and Alzolay pitched the remaining 4 to complete the shutout. Sorry to kill the fun lol
They should retaliate by hitting the Brewers' best hitter. Based on the first two games here, it looks like that is still Ryan Braun. Post of the year, thus far. lol that was a roller coaster
I really don’t think the Bulls are just coasting because they’re locked into a playoff seed. They’ve been getting their brains beat in since February. 6-16 I think since the break. Part of that is the schedule but a legit good team would be beating good teams occasionally. KC tweeted that the Bulls Net Rating since February 25th is -8.2 which is 28th in the NBA. Believe that number is opponent adjusted too (I think?) meaning the Bulls have been the 3rd worst team in the NBA over the last 6+ weeks.
lmao this is a legit disaster. Normally I’d say the team is coasting to the playoffs whatever but given their recent play you’d think if this team has any heart they would come out and get a confidence building win
