  1. Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics
  2. For a second there I thought we were in the basketball thread.
  3. I don't think the calendar timing of a game should matter. A win in that game is a win in that game, all other things held constant.
  4. TCU beat a 1-8 Colorado, something called Tarleton State, and 5-4 SMU. UofM beat 2-7 Colorado State, 2-8 Hawaii, and 5-5 UConn. I'm not sure one out of conference is any more impressive than the other, but that's just me.
  5. I know there have been suggestions here to move Schoop to 3B. I don't necessarily see it, but who knows. So, yes, they'd essentially be dumping Schoop for Segura, which seems suspect. Or they could walk from Candelario, move Schoop, and sign a 2B (or a SS and move Baez to 2B, which seems doubtful to me). I wouldn't think Segura gets more than a 2 year deal, maybe something similar or slightly higher than Schoop. I don't know, just a guess.
  6. Tipped off yesterday. Thank goodness CBS has bracketology going already.
  7. You sneaky bastard....
  8. Why?
  9. The Phillies declined their $17M 2023 option for 2B Jean Segura. Now, that isn't a name that wows anyone. But what catches my eye with him is the well below league average SO% he possesses, consistently 10-15% throughout his career save for the abridged 2020 season. There would be some aging risk as he'll be 33 to start next season. But given Harris' mantra on controlling the strike zone and the question of Schoop's bat, is it a fit? It doesn't seem likely to me, but I also don't know what to expect out of the Tigers this offseason.
  10. It'd be fun for the rivalry, but I don't know that it'd be well received nationally. There was discussion of a rematch in the 2006/7 national championship. I don't know how I feel about back-to-back games like that. The original divisional set up was designed for that, but it never happened. With the current conference championship and the current playoffs, there's a bit more separation from the regular season matchup. And once the playoffs expand again, there's more separation.
  11. That's absolutely what happened. But its quite amusing nonetheless.
  12. Nice come from behind victory tonight.
  13. There's no perfect system, but there are ways to make the current situation better.
  14. I've heard of some kerfuffles lately with the Twitters. Isn't there supposed to be a blue checkmark for authenticity or some such or other? Also, is it hops-pitching or hop-spitching? Also, also, rehab pitching coordinator? That doesn't seem like a one person job.
  15. Just supervising the goings on.
  16. Concur, which is why I'd like to get back to a BcS type of ranking system to avoid these types of shenanigans. Although the crooks would be in charge of that, too, so where would it get us?
  17. I may have missed it, but I didn't see the Red Sox bump the Rays from qualifying for the playoffs this season by virtue of a popularity contest. Hey, how about that? I think we might have stumbled upon something that MLB does better than NCAAF.
  18. By that context, the Yankees and Red Sox should be included in every MLB postseason.
  19. Why should that matter?
  20. I want to know how he ranks these.
  21. Punished? Or just rolled in as part of an objective evaluation like all other schedules should be?
  22. Oklahoma City Thunder vs Detroit Pistons
  23. I sure hope the OSU RB room is back at full strength by then. If OSU loses, they lose. But I just want it at full strength. If they aren’t good enough at full strength, so be it. If they lose but there are questionable circumstances, that ain’t no fun. Both teams, undefeated, full strength, ready to go on a weather neutral day. And some cold beers at my disposal. Anyone with me?
  24. This season has the feel of Georgia at 1 and several teams trying to figure out who takes the other playoff spots. It doesn’t mean Georgia is unbeatable, but it would take some breaks to beat them.
