    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    Hartenstein really balled out in that second half. He was awesome.

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    Man, this Knicks team is extremely fun to watch and easy to root for. Even if I don't love the franchise, it's fun to watch a bunch of grinders just outwork teams.

    April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

    Yeah, but there's still mental demons (at least for us as the fans).

    April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

    Weirdly it's sort of like the Brooklyn series in 21-22 where I think most of us thought "Oh, fuck, these guys again" and then the C's swept them straight up (despite G1 being a nailbiter and the series being relatively close).

    Which Current MLBers Will Be In the Hall of Fame?

    6? Trout, Freeman, Harper, Betts, Goldschmidt, Votto, are locks (at least I think they are). I'd even put Altuve in there. Among pitchers, Scherzer, Verlander, Kershaw, Kimbrel they're also all locks. Soto's only played 7 seasons. He's not a no-doubter, just like Judge, or Stanton, or Acuna...

    The Krafts

    I think it's possible that if Mahomes isn't in KC, then Brady sees the AFC as still his best shot to win more rings.

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    If any of these games go to OT, Hart's going to pull a Wilt and average more than 48 min/g.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (4) LA Clippers vs (5) Dallas Mavericks

    Those odds are wrong? FanDuel has the Clips +118, the Mavs -144.

    Day Baseball Today, 2024 Edition

    As an aside, anyone know why there were so many day games across baseball yesterday? The Sox hosted the latest start time, which I don’t remember happening for a weekday game in years.

    Tanner Houck 2024

    Okay, thanks to @Tokyo Sox for correcting my stupid face. Since the start of the expansion era, there have been 344 *actual* Maddicies. Among those with at least 9 strikeouts, there's only 28 of them. So even harder than I originally thought. Fun fact, Maddux only has one of the 28 9k games...

    Ah, shit. I thought it was just fewer than 100 pitches and a CG? My bad. RUNNING THE NUMBERS AGAIN.

    Tanner Houck 2024

    I feel like a Maddux with 9 strikeouts is very hard just because you have to throw enough pitches to get deep enough in counts to get to two strikes? So, I did the research. Since the start of the expansion era, there have been 53 Madduxes (Maddi? Maddoux?) with at least 9 strikeouts. But...

    I hope they bring someone like Scoot or Chet along, just to have the experience.

    Simmons was saying on his podcast that it's easy to forget that this, right now, is probably the worst Wemby will be for a very, very long time (usual caveats about staying healthy apply). He's transcendent.
