    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Well it's clearly unsustainable. (a) No starting rotation has ever pitched this well over the course of a full season, and (b) none of these guys are THAT good. Bello is the only one of the group whose current stat line is one that could be sustained the entire season. But there's a not...

    If you were a ballplayer...

    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnb8XcGbYCM How high up the talent ladder could you go and still keep getting hits? Zero chance I'd hit a college pitcher at almost any level, never mind an MLB pitcher, never mind a MLB all-star pitcher.

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    How many college football fans pack football stadiums knowing that their team has no hope of a title? A lot. There's joy to be had in supporting your team and watching amazing athletes do their thing. And the Ravens, of course, have won a LOT under Lamar. So you go to the stadium knowing there's...

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    Good question. I'd answer that it's because there's more to the NFL than Lombardis, I suppose?

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    Let's say you pick Daniels but "all" you get is Lamar's career to this point, and nothing more. Six years career, 2 MVPs, 3 Pro Bowls, 2 all-pros, the team makes the playoffs 5 of the 6 seasons but only makes it to one AFCCG and zero Super Bowl appearances, never mind Lombardis. But then his...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    We are saying the same thing. I just wanted to bring up the data showing how big Clark’s impact has been on the game.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Again: they desperately need a QB, by far the most important position on the team. There are three (maybe four depending on one's view of McCarthy) outstanding QB prospects in this draft. They draft #3, so they can get one of those three without having to lift a finger. Need meets opportunity...

    Nick Yorke

    I'm curious about people's thoughts on these players at this time: Nick Yorke Blaze Jordan Chase Meidroth I know we know nothing about the future but with Grissom at 2b, Story at SS, and Devers at 3b, with Mayer probably on the way up at some point this year, where do these guys fit in? Do any...

    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    At the trade deadline, the Sox really should unload Martin and Jansen at a minimum. They will have solid bullpen arms in place for 2025, including Hendriks as closer, and almost certainly won't really be in playoff contention in 2024, even if it looks like they kindasorta could be at the...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    The A'ja Wilson Effect: - In her last NCAA game, a regional final loss to undefeated UConn, attendance was 9,522 (capacity 17,500) on March 26, 2018. - Her first year in the WNBA, 2018, the Aces drew an average of 5,307 fans per game, 9th out of 12 franchises. - 2019 attendance: 4,669 a game...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I know, right? 1. They desperately need a franchise QB. 2. There are several top shelf QB prospects in this year’s draft. 3. The Patriots pick third which means that - for the first time since Drew Bledsoe - they have a chance to draft a top tier QB prospect with a high pick. Their need...

    4/18 vs Guardians

    Yep 2 earned runs and just 10 baserunners and it’s an L. The defense just kills this team.

    2023-2024 Women’s College Basketball

    That's really interesting. Usually when a player enters the portal, the HC of that team is like, ok, if you enter the portal, consider yourself gone. Because the coach needs to fill that spot and often times (not always, but often) there is discontentment between player and coach. You don't...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    You could easily put together a UConn-only US Olympic team that would demolish the rest of the world: G - Moriah Jefferson, Sue Bird, Crystal Dangerfield, Diana Taurasi F - Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, Katie Lou Samuelson, Azura Stevens, Evina Westbrook C - Stefanie Dolson, Tina Charles...
