    September MLB news

    He tried to be diplomatic but that was pretty damning. Kapler will get another shot but the idea that he is going to outperform a Cora or any replacement level manager is silly. These guys are mid level managers in their industry. They play politics, they have lackeys and suck-ups as well...

    Its funny - Giants fans feel like they view Kapler's flaws as very similar to Cora's.

    Dame Time heading to Milwaukee

    Haynes is known as a Lillard mouthpiece as you are probably well aware. He wrote a pretty glowing longform bio of him about five years ago and since then seems to get all the good Dame Dolla scoops. Edit: it feels like almost all of Haynes reporting this summer has been as pro-Lillard/Goodwin...

    Tim Wakefield has brain cancer

    This. He was responsible for so many great moments. Hopefully it helps him to know how beloved he is by the fans - and seemingly many of his peers.

    Dame Time heading to Milwaukee

    Setting aside the Porzingis/Smart stuff (advanced D metrics aren't that accurate and so comparing a shift from one player who is valued for D to one who has more production on offense may skew to the latter), I don't see this Bucks trade as a D for O thing as much as an opportunistic attempt at...

    Yordan Alvarez just murderlized a Bryce Miller pitch to dead center. Edit: Miller then surrendered two singles followed by a Dubon HR. Stros pulling away.

    Tito Francona Appreciation Thread

    I hope he finds eternal peace, happiness and joy. And that's just for his baseball contributions. By all accounts, he is an even better person than he is at winning World Series. In case anyone missed it, here is the piece on him in the Athletic yesterday. Its definitely worth a read. Also...

    The Celtics Offseason

    The Blazers are likely going to expect and will probably receive young pieces in addition to draft capital for Holiday. Setting aside the salary matching aspects of any trade for the C's, its hard to see them getting Jrue without surrendering someone like TL in addition to a Brogdon+draft...

    Dame Time heading to Milwaukee

    This was my thought for a Jrue destination. Its kind of an elegant solution for all involved except maybe CP3.

    Dame Time heading to Milwaukee

    Agreed that the deal was a no brainer for Milwaukee. But I also agree that its not guaranteed to work. The Bucks are now the favorites out of the East and maybe they will be a wagon for everyone in the conference. However its entirely possible that they still don't have enough even with...

    If Cronin can run a successful Jrue auction - and his market should be robust - this looks like a great trade for Portland given all of their constraints.

    That was indeed a straight up, Little League, whiff. You don't see that very often.

    Even the close games - for example this one as well as the Patriots/Jets - featured some rough football. You are almost certainly correct about the quality of product suffering as a result of how they do preseason. Again, its the NFL and I will watch, ugly or not. We all will.

    I just thought there was a lot of one sided games and sloppy play overall. Its the NFL. Even if its bad, we will watch. Roger is Pavlov with fewer IQ points but a lot more dogs.
