re: Paul Skenes continues to dominate AAA - 6IP, 7Ks, 4H, 1BB as his ERA falls to 0.39

[quote]This has nothing to do with it. They have him for an extra year no matter when he gets called up now[/quote]
That's 100% not true. The top two finishers for Rookie of the Year are automatically awarded a full year of service no matter how much service time they accrued that season. It happ...

It actually makes a ton of sense. The Pirates are a small market team and aren’t expect to contend this season. If he ends up winn...

[quote]I don't follow the sport too much so I've always wondered why NHL teams seem to move/fold so frequently.

The NHL makes a fraction of the revenue that the NBA and MLB does yet they have more teams than both of those leagues. That never made sense to me. ...

[quote]What are the chances he joins Golden State or Denver?

I think there's a much better chance he joins the Knicks. Extremely well-rounded team that can defend and shoot, Brunson is a legitimate star in the prime of his career, and imagine what it would do for LeBron's legacy if he h...
re: How would the 1998 Pacers rank if they beat the Bulls and Jazz?
Posted by Bench McElroy on 4/30/24 at 11:09 am
Their resume would be strikingly similar to the Pistons teams from the '00s so I think they would be held in similar regard to them.
1993-2000 Pacers
1 Championship (defeating a Phil Jackson coached Dynasty team along the way)
2 NBA Finals Appearances
Five Conference Finals Appearances
2002...
re: So how F’d are the Phoenix Suns going forward? They have 0 draft picks from 2025 to 2030

Giving up a bunch of picks for KD was an understandable gamble. I never understood the Bradley Beal trade. Giving up four first round swaps and six second round picks for a player the Wizards were trying to get off the books was insane....

1995 Red Wings? They won 62 games and put up 131 points and got swept in the Finals. They also had the greatest coach of all-time and ended up winning two championships in the next three years which made that sweep even more shocking looking back in retrospect....

Ravens taking Travis Taylor with the 10th overall pick in 2000. I remember looking at the guy’s stats and noticing that he finished a distant second in receptions and receiving yards to Travis McGriff and Darrell Jackson during his sophomore and junior seasons. McGriff and Jackson weren’t considered...

All of them were better except Daniel Jones. Just ask yourself this question.If you put all of those guys in a draft when they were prospects, how many of them would have been considered reaches with the eighth overall pick?
Murray, Mayfield, Wilson, Trubisky, Wentz, and Darnold were consensus t...

Alex Anthopoulos had always been, as one executive put it, “very aggressive” in his willingness to deal. When he took over the Braves heading in 2018, he married that quality with wisdom gleaned from his previous stops.
