The first unanimous HOFer has the 52nd best WAR for a pitcher in the HOF And is no contest the best closer in MLB history. There are discussions about who the best player was at each MLB position throughout history. Not so for closer. Sure I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve to be in. Just think it’s...

What a trash ballot, lol

1) Pretty good sense of humor by everybody here. 2) I haven't watched much NBA in quite some time and apparently I missed a dramatic change to the Utah uniforms. https://deadspin.com/kyle-korver-attempts-to-inbound-airball-laughs-at-his-1831951866 every team has like 6 uniforms now, and that partic...

I walked by the Maximum Slob in the office this morning, and he had a q-tip buried, no joke, at least halfway its length into his ear. Just lazily twisting it back and forth as he stared blankly at his computer screens. At least now it makes sense why the music in his headphones is so horsefeatheri...

I mean if they really do hit him, why shouldn’t the pitcher and Yadi be ejected and suspended for it? They’re clearly giving some evidence this is a planned thing when it happens.

I think the rosey outcome for Chatwood is that he's a good reliever. While I am certainly not saying it's the most likely outcome, you don't have to squint too hard to see 2017 Wade Davis. In relief Chatwood would presumably drop the sinker and the change, and go fastball/cutter/curve, just like Da...

Gj Reds, their pitching might take a giant leap forward this year. They’ve piled up alot of velocity and spin on some still young arms...That extension’s a potential steal too. If they make a clever enough move in CF that’s probably a competitive lineup given the bum ass rest of the league I might ...

Reinsdorf just needed to pick up a little extra cash to afford Machado, most likely

How much times would’ve been left if the Saints didn’t stupidly pass on first and third down (yes I know the pass led to PI so it was “smart” in a way)? But if they just run 3 times and kick a FG the Rams would’ve had ~40 seconds and no TOs to try and kick a tying FG? It’s been a theme on local rad...

Don’t really get the point in either side doing an extension, but okay.

Damn, he’s a big dude (in a good way) already for a 18-19 year old. Looks like he can still add some decent, good weight to his frame too. https://twitter.com/jasonpennini/status/1087408866755637249?s=21 Whoa. Dude has been in the gym this offseason! He was MUCH skinnier this past summer. No horsef...

looks like he made have added a Dempster glove wiggle to combat tipping pitches, didn't see that in these clips from a game last year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NTK-2QQdW8 Good pick up. Will be interesting to follow through ST if it is something he’s going to do or just something he did for w...

I think they're hoping that when they accidentally get something right, they can parlay it into a real gig. That’s basically how Dierkes (spelling?) Got MLB Trade Rumors going I believe. He threw a bunch of horsefeathers out and got a thing or two right that drove traffic then just turned in to an ...

That’s good from 70+. Holy horsefeathers

Also interesting that Davis *is* included in that group. I wouldn't have been confident that with his length that he'd have the swing-speed for exit-velo. ?? Is this a physics thing? I was terrible at that stuff —— Ernst did a profile on Ademan too and there’s something I just like about his swing:...

Some really good stuff in this thread.

I'm not necessarily worried about injuries. From a division perspective who’s rotation is really more safe or better? They all have age, health, experience and regression worries. If we get any sort of offense close to not August on offense and top 15 but not top 12 rotation (rough range) we will b...

4th?

They’re still the best team, the margin has been cut down but they’re still the best and if things go remotely
close to plan they aren’t finishing horsefeathering third or lower.
