I didn’t say he was one of the best, but he is average and has had an above average season. Stow your argument away, it’s materially and objectively wrong. You said " he’s solidly average or above average defensively". Neither is true. I repeat what I said before, he is playing LF because...

Everyone is freaking out about Bryant being bad, but let's not ignore the giant bag of suck that Rizzo has been this year Just a hunch but I don’t think he’ll maintain a .159 BABIP all year. *Looks up Bryant's BABiP* https://i.gifer.com/CGOr.gif Saw that earlier when I looked up Rizzo’s and it was ...

The semi with Spurs should be a fun one. Ajax is legit. Beat Real and Juve on the road plus tied at Bayern. There are definitely going to be a bunch of goals scored in that tie.

I got 20 out of 30. Lot of obvious ones but some were tricky. For one team one guy beat the other guy by 3 days.

Jesus. Have we really descended to the point of pining for a squished version of Jake Fox? This dude's probably wondering why we didn't just keep Bryan LaHair after he put up a .885 OPS in 69 PAs in 2011 and a 1.243 OPS through his first 103 PA's in 2012. I mean, LaHair even got an All Star nod! Sh...

This is how you know fWAR isn't to be trusted

His highest bWAR was with the Brewers also.

I need a team or two to bandwagon on for the playoffs. Who should I be rooting for?

No NHL thread so had to post this here.

And also, he's been absolutely terrible at his job. Should probably can Pelinka also.

I detest that replay reversal on the ball being knocked out of bounds Same here and I was rooting for Virginia. That was akin to the foot popping off the bag for a couple hundredths of a second but because the tag was kept on the runner, he's out. Like, technically the ball went off the Tech player...

I really don't get all the commotion over the foul call at the end of the Virginia game. The refs missed the double dribble on Jerome right before that, sure. But Guy was pretty clearly fouled at the end because the Auburn player ran into his leg. If the focus was on the double dribble, I wouldn't c...

Chris Davis is 0-17 with 11 Ks. He does have 4 walks so his OBP is .190. He’s got an OPS+ of -38 and a wRC+ of -49.

He’s also due $23M per year through the 2022 season.

And his 5/145 extension doesn't start until the 2020 season.

DeGrom has a FIP of -0.30, an xFIP of 0.79 and has been worth 1 WAR already.

Why does it feel cheap? Going 20-20-20 is insane.

I'm absolutely biased, but did Carsen Edwards just show us the best NCAA tournament run by an individual since Stephen Curry? Well, he just became the first guy to win regional MOP without actually winning the regional since Curry, so you probably have a point. I think they said during the broadcas...

horsefeathering Duke escapes again.

In the last 10 seconds, Va Tech airballed an open 3, took a bad, long 3 that wasn't close and then missed a 2-footer on a great out of bounds play.

Good to see Michigan forgot how to shoot today.

You say that like other pictures exist

We’ll always have that walkoff slam against Philly.

God I can’t believe that putback didn’t go for UCF.

End of the Belmont game, Belmont down 2 with Maryland shooting 1 more FT and 2.5 seconds left, Belmont coach calls his last timeout. Why call it before the FT? If he makes it you can throw the ball up the court regardless but by calling the timeout, you’re screwed if he misses (he did). Seems like h...

So my work pool scores 1-2-4-6-8-12 per round with an underdog bonus in the first two rounds where you add the difference in seeds. So if a 10 beats a 7, I get 4 points but 7 over a 10 is worth 1. Is there a good reason why, after I fill out my bracket, I shouldn’t just pick the underdog in round 1 ...

It’s pretry hilarious that Harper held out for so long just so he could get the largest contract and Trout comes along and wipes it out 3 weeks later.

I do wish Trout would have never signed his first extension just so we could have seen the contract a 26 year old Trout got in free agency.
