    4/17 vs Guardians

    Yeah, definitely smart play. Lots of fielders would have just thrown it back to the pitcher, but it was kind of unlucky that the overthrow went right to him in the spot where the runner was.

    4/17 vs Guardians

    There was no attempt. If that was the call it was the wrong call. But I'm nearly certain it was not.

    4/17 vs Guardians

    Yeah, the ump also pointed at the base. The call was that he didn't touch, I feel pretty certain.

    4/17 vs Guardians

    The call on the field had to be that he did not touch first base. It cannot be interference because the ball did not hit him. Being in fair territory is not enough to be called out after overruning first base. You have to make an attempt toward second base, which he never did. Even a slight...

    If you were a ballplayer...

    We'd have had fun getting ice cream after, though -- not much doubt about that.

    T-ball, right field. Strength: Good teammate. Weakness: The other stuff.

    Raptors' Jontay Porter banned from NBA for betting on games

    Looks to me as though Draft Kings figured this one out, and the truth is I probably could have even without an algorithm. By and large, I think that's the way this stuff is going to get figured out -- the entity with the financial incentive not to pay bets also is sitting on a mountain of...

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    Hope I'm wrong but City to win the league seems highly likely now. Edited to "highly likely." Hope springs eternal.

    When Portnoy's rag calls you a creep, maybe you should take a very hard look in the mirror. https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3510795/caitlin-clarks-indiana-fever-career-begins-with-gregg-doyel-being-a-total-creep-to-her-at-introductory-press-conference

    Raptors' Jontay Porter banned from NBA for betting on games

    An $80,000 +1600 player prop parlay for a random Wednesday game, where the player ducks out of the game, was never going to escape inquiry. Draft kings isn't going to just start paying out $1.1 million tickets on bets like that without some inquiry. It's really hard to see a guy banned for...

    What is next for BB?

    "I have two lists, Pat. 'Best available,' and 'best long snapper, Rutgers, or armed services player.' Hopefully, we'll have time to get into both lists tonight."

    The Krafts

    I don't care about much of it. Kicking Belichick on the way out the door is a weird miscalculation that leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but mostly because it's recent. Also, it's weird judgment. Like why does he think that's ok? But really it's not a thing I think about much. He strikes me...

    23-24 UConn Basketball: Stephon's Castle

    Reed is a fantastic addition, but there is one tool he doesn't have. Big men who cannot shoot free throws are problematic in college, where the one and one can be as good as a turnover. The way that the Huskies have won in the last two years makes you forget the importance of being able to...
