    2024 MLB Season

    That number was for all the games played in 1981. That was my point. Not through April 15th, 1981 or 18 or 20 games played into 1981. For the full amount of games played in 1981. But if we are not going to include 1981 since it was strike shortened (and trust me I am well aware of that given...

    2024 MLB Season

    Scoring seemed down this year, so I looked at the stats vs the prior year. In AL Runs per Game down from 4.55 (2023) to 4.18 (2024), down 8%. The 4.18 is the lowest it has been since 1981 (full year) OPS down from .729 to .686. The .686 is the lowest it has been since 1976 (full year)...

    If he does, he will be the type they make wait. My guess is no, but it will be close. He had a short career with a sudden and steep decline - but he did have a HOF worthy 5 year peak period. His peak was his first 5 years in the league 5 All Star Teams 3rd, 8th, 10th in MVP Voting 2 time 2nd...

    They made the Elite 8 last year. I'm not sure they are tier 2 either. But I don't think we are better than them the last 10 years.

    I guess it really comes down to what you look at and how much you value that Final 4, and how you value regular seasons. T For me tourney play is important but its not everything either in terms of defining where your brand is at - could be argued it might tell a bit less of where you at and...

    Is that Georgetown as a tier 3? LOL. Or am i getting that logo mixed with something else. Because I'm not even sure if they qualify for tier 5 at this point. 3,4 seems largely interchangeable to me otherwise. We are somewhere in that group. And then you have a few in tier 2 that can be...

    The change of scenery and the learning from mistakes hopefully serves him well and he matures. He made mistakes, but from afar didn't seem like a terrible kid - one that just needed to figure things out. Not sure if the unrealistic expectations of the fanbase relating to his immediate impact...

    I don't think I had bet of golf since last Masters. Made two small bets Saturday morning... getting the back door top 3 finish for Fleetwood reminds me how finicky it was. Way to finish up Morikawa and Homa.

    Not a new story, by any means -- more a story of me not following golf that closely this year. Just realized that the Masters committee gave a special exemption to Joaquin Niemann to participate in the event. He did not qualify otherwise because of the OWGR impact of playing in LIV. He...

    Perhaps I'm the only one, but I am confused by this line "If he doesn’t pitch today, would likely start Monday. If he does, he’d slot in at the back end of Toronto series." If he starts Monday or makes his return Monday, how is that the back end of the Toronto series?

    New Assistant: Dan Engelstad

    Comments of "Context Lacking" and "Goalpost Shifting" And then making the claim we were top 10 at the end of 2016, as if that has any context on how we were as a program that year or after 2018. Just seems off to me. We have not been clearly into the NCAA tournament as of March 1, in any...

    I almost feel like the Masters, or really the majors, deserves its own thread. 1. The stature of the event. 2. While technically a "PGA Tour" event, the majors are now farther and farther away from typical PGA events because they will include LUV Players. These events are much more...

    NCAA National Championship: Mon April 8

    A few stats I heard today. Purdue only had 8 assists last night … and they we’re all by only one player. In terms of petty details I heard. And at this point petty sometimes feels good. 3 of the 5 lowest rated NCAA final games of all time included UConn.

    When he gets moving Edey gets up and down the court at a fairly good speed given his size. It the agility / lack of ability to make quick movements that hurts him.

    UConn guards basically have an uninterrupted free screener out there in Clingan, since Edey is not coming out from below the basket. Doesn't help the Purdue guards, and helps UConn get to the middle of the floor pretty easily. Unfortunately Edey doesn't have the agility or gas to come up once...

    Block.. sure thing. Edey though is either gassed or too slow. Really problem on defensice end... mid range shots are coming way too easy as he can't come up, and just slow to get to the d-boards right now.

    Purdue needed halftime to come ASAP. They were tired. Hopefully they can find something in the first 4-5 minutes of the second half, to draw it closer, and give them some momentum.

    Proposed rule changes to NIL and portal to enhance player retention

    Until the NCAA sets up a system where they its member schools are paying the players, nothing can get really done to solve the solution. Were over halfway there at this point, just find a way to get it to cross the line so donations are going to schools and be done with it.

    Zach Edey will get his twenty+, but it will be on 40-49% shooting. He will also have 3+ turnovers. Hope I'm wrong, but given the way Bama bothered him at times, it will be much harder tonight.

    Hasn't the national title tip-off been at 9:20 for a very long time? (give or take a few minutes). Seem to remember a year or so they might have had it at 8:20 but that's about it.

    NCAA National Championship: Mon April 8

    I'm not sure if there will be that many that are conflicted here. Perhaps I am wrong. As a group / organization the BIG might be hated, but I still think there is a a likeability / unlikeability factor for each individual school and Purdue seems to pass in that regard.

    The bigger issue as a baseball fan and not related to fantasy - is the increase in injuries to pitchers that apparently is happening... theories about the pitch clock or the lack of any sticky stuff are out there quite a bit whether valid or not.

    45 minutes in last night's main event was way too much. Could have easily cut it down to 30 minutes. Cut the long opening sequences by about 70% gets much of the way there.
