The Cardinals will be sending a team rep to New York tomorrow night for the ceremonial first hit-by-pitch on Correa.

It’s always fun to hold someone to standards they set for themselves. Congratulations, you and Clay Travis agree on something.

I just find it hilarious how people mis-characterize these issues. This is simple: When Steve Kerr speaks about gun violence, Trump, racism these are viewed within the prism of the the United states and America culture, domestic issues. They are also viewed as the opinions of Steve Kerr and Steve Kerr alone. Darryl…

People can have opinions. If they are good at presenting their argument and it is sound (like Kerr’s usually are) then I don’t care what the person does for a living. They are worth listening to.

So that whole “Once you go black” thing was a big lie, I guess.

It made sense when Madison Bumgarner pitched in relief in 2014 because 1) the Royals were helpless against him in 16 innings prior to that point 2) all the other Giants pitchers that year sucked 3) Bumgarner entered the game in the fifth inning and the team didn’t have enough good relief pitchers to protect a lead for…

Managers have made a habit of overthinking their pitching strategies in the postseason.  Once upon a time bringing in an ace starter in relief was considered genius.  Now it’s what’s expected, to the point where managers stick with those pitchers even when they’re in the process of demonstrating why they need more…

These are managerial decisions that SHOULD get a manager fired. With a loaded team in every regard all he had to do was do what he did all season and let the team do the winning.  He decided he needed to pull a Nationals trick by using his starters from the bullpen. The only difference is the Nationals bullpen is a…

Michael Baumann makes some good points in an article here (https://www.theringer.com/2019/10/10/20907661/nlds-game-5-nationals-dodgers-clayton-kershaw-playoff-choke), but the biggest is that Kershaw has struggled to get going this season, posting a 5.79 ERA in the first inning, but no higher than 3.65 in any other…

This guy sure does get tired of his team quickly. Bored man gets paid indeed.

This excerpt is self-serving to the point of being offensive. It is a disgustingly misleading account that trivializes a heinous crime by asking the idiotic question when can I return to broadcasting? Seriously? That’s what you were thinking about after your son murdered the mother of your grandchild?

His life has changed in the worst possible way.

Just a reminder with the “leave my wife alone” stuff in this piece. Jerry Remy’s wife begged Martel not to extend the emergency temporary restraining order because it would “ruin his life”. Deadspin ran a story on this.

What the fuck is the point of this? Why is Deadspin giving Jerry fucking Remy a platform to perform his phony contrition without acknowledging that he spent his son’s lifetime bailing him out of his responsibilities?

I don’t think the contact was intentional, but you don’t ever, ever go inside unless the throw has pulled the catcher completely to the back side of the plate. The runner is given the lane to the outside. The catcher’s only reasonable place to set up (post Posey rule) is on the inside. The throw, obviously, is coming…

This looks like the box art for a Turkish counterfeit X-Box, alongside the words “Xtreme System of Gaming! Made in U.S. A. That’s what she said!!! Contains up to 24 Nimtando games, It’s Iron Master Time!”

This is a good half court playoff team but way too old and slow to win a championship. 

I know James is a great player, but we’re moving into ‘Ol’ Man James’ territory and does anybody seriously believe he can make this team more than a playoff team?  (AD is a better player at this point, but given that he’s been stuck on the King Babys for years it’s unknown whether he can carry a team.)

I am a bit confused about the Lakers’ identity but they definitely have some talent about their big two, and Boogie could definitely help them. He is still basically unguardable one on one maybe unless you are Rudy Gobert, and I’m not even 100% sure on that. I would probably want to stagger his minutes with AD as much…
