The Warriors are 15-2 at home an 3-16 on the road. Anyone know how to find the biggest gap between home and road winning percentage for a full season. I'd be shocked if whatever the current record is was anywhere close to the Warriors right now.

Kane is currently on pace for 31 goals this year which is one off the EPL record for 38 games and even if he keeps up that pace he'll be lucky to finish within 10 goals of Haaland. Two more today. On pace for 51.

I’m already annoyed at the seemingly inevitable Tampa win over Dallas in the first round. I would love it if Dallas just destroyed Tampa 42-10 or something like that.

I did fantasy baseball for a few years. My worst one was 2017. Almost a month in, Anthony Rendon had a .566 OPS. On Sunday April 30, he went 6-6, 3 HR, 1 2B, 10 RBI, 5 runs scored. He raised his own OPS 200 points that day. Had he gone 6-6 with 4 double, 2 runs scored and like 5 RBI, I would have won 3 more categories. My best bad beat that went my way was the 2015 season. Sunday Night Baseball was Cubs-Pirates and Jake was in the middle of his run. Fantasy playoff semifinals. All I had left was Gregory Polanco and the only thing I could get that would matter was a SB. Jake takes a no hitter into the 7th. Polanco singles and I’m just praying he tries to steal. He does and is safe and that steal gave me the category and the win that week. If he doesn’t steal or is thrown out, I lose.

I would just like to say two things. 1. I love every bad beat story for pure entertainment purposes. They're all amazing and yet unique in their own way in how painful they are. 2. I love every bad beat story because it continues to provide justification for me never doing fantasy football. If something like that happened to me it would piss me off so much and, knowing myself, a bad beat loss would bother me more than a bad beat win would give me joy.

Is that baseball or hockey vs basketball? Protestant vs. Catholic Fans get along great too. Never any issues.

Biggest sporting event in the world. Fox: Our coverage will continue on FS1 due to a regular season NFL game.

Holy crap what a final. About the only thing I would change if I could would be if Messi had gotten the winner in extra time instead of PKs. Maybe for France to play better in the first 60 minutes. Other than that, no notes. Going to remember this one forever.
-
I know he already took his but can Messi take this one too just so he can get the winner?
-
100%. Just for Messi in my case.

The closest thing might be the Game 7 Cavs-Warriors except if that game had finished 147-143 in double OT.

Coworker of mine is from Argentina. Can't wait to talk to him tomorrow.
-
This is wild.
-
-
Well this one is over. Argentina has been rock solid with a lead in this tournament.
-
I hope the extra time periods are as exciting as the last 10-15 minutes were.
-
Was really hoping that Messi shot in the last couple minutes was going to go in.
-
Holy horsefeathers what is happening right now.
-
Argentina outplaying France right now.

I’d allow the person who committed the foul too but otherwise I completely agree. They also need to make a rule where if it’s not your ball on any sort of dead ball, you can’t touch the ball or throw it away. So any sort of impeding the other team. Can’t stand that stuff and it would be so easy to get rid of.

Few things worth noting here: - The former was a third year MLer, the other a rookie at the start of these windows - Despite the massive gap from that randomly selected window, their careers are separated by ~2 fWAR (advantage Devers, sure) - ^ This because over the last 3 years Devers has put up 9.8 fWAR to Swanson's 12.1 They're not randomly selected windows. Like I said, we don't have info on Devers from ages 26-28 because, you know, he hasn't played those seasons yet. Devers at the same age was a significantly better baseball player than Swanson. The age gap matters. Is it possible that we've seen the best of Devers and he's not going to get better? Sure. Is it possible that Swanson in 2022 was just a career year that he'll regress from? Also sure. Personally, I prefer betting on a player who has been better at baseball while also being 3 years younger. As for your first point about comparing a third year MLer to a rookie...

Devers put up 14 WAR and an .884 OPS for his age 22 to 25 seasons. Swanson put up 4.1 WAR and a .703 OPS for his age 22 to 25 seasons. You keep bringing up how Swanson has improved the last couple years. Devers hasn’t even had his age 26-28 seasons yet. You’re acting as if Devers is done improving. I don’t hate a potential Swanson signing no matter what. I hate a potential Swanson signing based on the contract he’s likely to get.

Correa to the Giants 13/350 (Deal Nixed Due to Medicals)

When you only have to watch 7 full games to beat the number... I’m not sure I watched a full game start to finish in 2022. -
Devers is the guy I want with Boston seemingly having no desire to retain marquee guys. EDIT: At first I thought you meant Trout but then I remembered Ohtani existed. Ohtani would be amazing also.
