What happened?

That is the new front office's job to make it work. I also technically think that Lavine and Durant are relatively close (not sure if close is the right term but I feel like they have hung out during their Olympic time and have generally been very complimentary of each other).

This is crazy. Pac 10 / 12 whatever it is is going to have to pivot and join somewhere else without the two LA based teams - this is going to create real chaos if it ends up happening.

Hartenstein would be great. I still want better and more creative than anything being discussed so hopefully they surprise me.

Echo this

That is the thing - they will do 2 or 3 things wrong every game and they aren’t just the usual errors. Those happen - the things I see, whether mgr not making the smart call or players not doing the little fundamental things to prevent someone from advancing or them advancing when they need to…it’s bad and it makes a difference and increases the margin to win and put streaks together.

This manager sets the tone and it sucks. I saw so much sloppiness from this team. They do little things wrong and it has been put up with far too long under this regime. Kopech flubs a ball covering first (vs dp)…leads to a run. Robert doesn’t tag on a ball he should have been…should have been on 3rd with 0 or 1 outs vs stuck on 2nd…which should lead to a run. They had lefty on mound and runners on - great situation to put in Vaughn as a pinch hitter (vs letting a .200 batter hit). Nope let the .200 batter hit. Over course of the season constantly tolerating shit out of the little things and putting your squad on bad situations compounds. Honest to god - he is as bad of a mgr as I have seen. Tham just watch the Angels run their shifts - dynamic depending on count and situation vs Sox vanilla shifts. Straight up incompetence. Players are part of it but mgr and willingness to not hold players accountable (honestly the one thing I thought he would do) is just beyond pathetic. FU White Sox for screwing up such a good team. This includes having a hitting coach who is doing the exact opposite of every team in baseball regarding launch angle.

Can someone explain to me why the Nuggets traded 2 better players for Caldwell Pope? I presume there was a cap related reason to this?

He is young and long - so from that perspective fits some of the Bulls needs and should have a bit of upside still. That said - I'll just quietly sit back and see what they do. Either way - I think by next off-season we'll see a pretty big fundamental shake-up to the team (i.e., a move for a bigger / big time star or some refresh to get assets back in play to do a quick pivot).

Love west coast games where I can watch at a normal time

Hell yeah. Just bought tickets to go to tomorrows game with the family!!! Kopech Vs Ohtani. Should be a dandy of a game!!!

Stupid question but do white Sox outfielders use the positioning cards the angels carry and use all the time?

John Wall to clippers is a good move for them.

I still want Durant!!!

Congrats!!!

Good luck - hope everything goes smoothly. Enjoy every moment!!!

Have no issue with the pick. Like his athleticism and intangibles and we will see if he can develop a better offensive game in time. But I think he has a solid floor with some upside.

With the kryie stuff does KD all of a sudden become an option for Bulls (if kryie goes).

Heck yeah!!!

Or you were going Orange County to San Diego.

Heck yeah. Harrison had a fantastic game tonight defensively and the homer. Timmy back. Vaughn great. Bullpen solid and Lynn good. Robert with a bomb too.

It should have only been 8-3. The missed strike 3 and the over throw. Just keeping one of those off the board makes it worse case a 4 run lead (which just feels better than 3).

Cavan Biggio looks like a CGI robot at the plate.

Very good point - forgot about that…100 percent right.

Vaughn just looks locked in. Love it.
