    SS possibilities going forward

    Not really true, they have plenty of IF depth even without Adames. In addition to Ortiz currently at 3B, Brice Turang is currently at 2B but is a natural SS. One of those guys at SS, then options like Monasterio and Oliver Dunn at 2B, or Sal Frelick at 3B (he played a lot of 3B this March). Owen...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Yeah, the eye thing was in January, but the "illness" was just a few days ago. Seems like if he had stuck to just pulling this once, he might have gotten away with it.

    Unrest in the MLBPA: Players move to oust union’s No. 2

    Easy to say in a vacuum, but don't forget that minor leaguers weren't part of the MLBPA last cycle, so it's not clear that the motivations of the then-MLBPA membership aligned with your stated goals above. I'm not even sure I agree with Max Power that "the union had a chance to make substantive...

    Looking for best music & communication solution for a 4 month long hike in remote areas

    Yeah, think of it as a device that provides a cell phone signal without actually being a phone. Your MP3 device would connect to it as it would wifi, and it's basically a bridge that then connects to the cell tower for you. They can be as small as something you can put on your keychain, or...

    Looking for best music & communication solution for a 4 month long hike in remote areas

    For the music solution, I guess my first thought is to break the problem in two parts.... get your preferred music player with Wifi support, and get yourself a mobile hotspot device to provide the signal for it? That also serves the purpose of taking strain off your phone. Might not totally...

    Saban Leaving Alabama

    I'm totally just a casual observer, but was my first thought too. Or Lane Kiffin <ducks>

    CFB Coaching Carousel

    Echoing... first class leader of men. Just a winner all around, and does it with integrity. We hate to lose him; he's a star for sure. Enjoy your time with him.

    CFB 2023 Conference Championships: A thread enjoying five major conference championship games for the last time

    No, because TEX win over Bama is less impressive if Bama isn't the SEC champ.

    Realignment 2023: Whither the Pac12?

    Not blaming you for not addressing this, because nobody in charge of college sports thinks about them either, but.... this seems wildly unfair to the athletes. They're asked to choose a college with no guarantee what level they'll even play at for their four year career? And if you counter that...

    Craig Breslow: Red Sox CBO

    Would guess tomorrow, before the World Series embargo on announcements kicks in.

    The Rebuild

    I specifically mentioned Love as an exception in the post you quoted, and then he's your first example... which suggests you didn't read my post even though you quoted it. Your post, that I was responding to and even bolded the part I was objecting to, said "hold a clipboard for a year" (my...

    The Rebuild

    I'm just a casual fan, but isn't the bolded an anachronism from a bygone era? First-round QBs just don't hold the clipboard anymore, at least not when there's an immediate need at the position for the franchise (ie Jordan Love behind Rodgers isn't really analogous to the Pats situation). The...

    The Red Sox have fired Chaim Bloom

    People should stop saying this. Bloom's responsibilities weren't tied to the games left on the schedule. You know what the FO is doing this month? Preparing for the off-season. Evaluating potential free agents and trade targets, deciding which assets in the farm they want to build around and...

    Follow along - I’m trying to qualify for the Mass Mid-Am

    Looks like +4 is going to be the qualifying line, so the birdie on 18 ends up being just for style points. Some really nice style, at that...
