lol got a laugh out of this. This stemmed from Rosenthal's tweet that said we were acquiring Meadows but didn't say for what which prompted multiple Rays fans in the thread to think that Tork was part of the package.

Don't know if this will be the order but discounting that it looks a helluva lot better. Since 2020 was the COVID year where opening day wasn't till the end of July this really is only a 20 month difference and not the full 2 years too.

RE: CHicago, they lost Rodon from last year and now Lance Lynn is out 6-8 weeks so their rotation may not be as strong as it was last year and could potentially be a chink in their armor. Of course they were also without Eloy and Robert for a good portion of the year last year so their offense should atleast theoretically be better to help offset that.

Waiting for Paredes to pull a James Harden and suddenly show up to his new team 75lbs lighter after it was revealed he was wearing a fat suit the entire time. Seriously though great trade, it of course concerns me trading with TB but even if they find something in Paredes and he becomes good there as long as Meadows plays well for us I really won't care. Also that Adames trade with the Brewers last year doesn't look so hot as of now so perhaps it proves that their front office is indeed human and do make mistakes just like everybody else.

Wordle 289 4/6 🟩⬛🟩⬛⬛ 🟩⬛🟩🟨⬛ 🟩🟨🟩⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Even though you get 6 tries my goal of late is to get it in 4 or less. To use a golf analogy I treat 4 as a par, 3 as a birdie, 2 an eagle(done it twice I believe) and 1 as a hole in one. Like in real golf I've yet to get one in Wordle.

With how many good qbs have been demanding trades of late who's to say we have to get our next qb in this or next years draft? If Holmes builds up a good enough roster around us, in 1 or. 2 years if one of those guys comes available maybe we could be the ones that they ask to be traded to.

Green has been pretty impressive scoring wise lately but even with him scoring like he has the Rockets are still playing better with him off the court. He's basically living up to what people thought he would be and that is an elite scorer but doesn't bring much else to the table.

Some folks are speculating that NO is positioning themselves to try to move up and grab a qb this year. Would you take their 2 firsts and their 2nd(49 overall) for number 2? Birkett says that according to the ole chart that is a little light but if you don't really love anybody at 2 and want to pick up extra capital perhaps you would be willing to "lose" the trade according to what you normally expect to get.

Great data and list, it appears that with a couple exceptions like Giannis and Steph you're not going to get yourself a defacto number 1 All NBA guy in the mid to late lottery but you still can get All Star caliber guys. With us hoping that Cade can be our All NBA getting one of those All Star caliber players would be perfectly fine with me.

Damn I love that trade for the Eagles. Let's cross out the 19th and 18th pick for simplicity sake. They essentially traded the 16th for a likely higher 1st next year, a 3rd and a 2nd. Even though the 2nd is 2 years away its still a big asset. Also with 3 1sts this draft they could afford to give up one now for one in the future this way they don't put all their eggs in one basket in this draft. They will now be in prime position to move up and take a qb next year if/ when Hurts fails.

All Campos does is hit HRs.... when he isn't locked away in some secret location.

Seems like Willi smelled blood in the water in terms of making the team with Greene getting hurt, has a HR today pushing his OPS to near 1.000.

Yup, Id rather have 6 innings of shutout or 1 run ball than 7 of 2 or 3 if the extra pitches from Ks produces the 1st outcome so be it.

How could you forget Zack Short?

Nice to see Campos get freed from whatever dungeon AA has been hiding him in and joining the outside world.

Just got to take it one game at a time and remember that the division cant be won in April but it can certainly be lost there.

You can never have too many weapons in the NFL so if they could get Robinson for their 4th I wouldn't be against it assuming they got the outside receiver with 32 or 34. Two WR in 4 rounds may seem excessive given all the holes on the team but the NFL nowadays is built on offense and playmakers so like I said you can never have too many weapons in the NFL. I should've prefaced it with I personally don't know how he is going to fair in the NFL cause I haven't watched him much at all since until now he wasn't on my radar cause like others I was looking at bigger receivers but if Holmes and Co. were to draft him they obviously would be believers which in turn would make me one.

Wordle 288 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 The third guess was big time, had a ton of different options but had a gut feeling about the one I went with, wasn't right but it made the answer a formality.

Welp Pistons pull it off 121-117 now just 2 games up on the Pacers with 4 to play. Casey tried to lose,aside from Grant being out with injury he sat Cade and Bagley(not sure if injured), then proceeded to essentially sit Bey, Stewart and Killian for most of the 2nd half but unfortunately it just wasn't enough. Pistons stalwarts like *checks notes* Carsen Edwards and Braxton Key would not let them take the L. I'm not as invested in the tank job this year due to the class and actually don't mind winning if its cause of players that are going to be a part of our future like Cade, Bey, Killian etc. but when it's cause of guys we picked up all the scrap heap that likely aren't going to be a part of anything I'd rather just take the loss.

Bey is playing really well, 32 points on 11-18 shooting with 2 minutes left in the 3rd but I just saw him airball a finger roll. I don't think I have ever seen that before.

Not necessarily advocating for Robinson but I think it's fair to point out for a receiver like him height is really meaningless. I mean it's not like you are throwing jump or 50/50 balls to them. Their whole skillset is getting open away from defenders where size doesn't matter and then creating damage in the open field.

In honor of playing at Indy we have to show the greatest Pistons moment there...no not Tayshaun's block but it does involve him.

Baddoo with another homer off a lefty, this one of the oppo variety to tie it up at 3!

As long as Hinchie has the troops playing the game the right way they will fine.

I always hated Coach K but I think Buddha may have me beat.lol With that said I hate Carolina almost as much so I didn't get to take much solace in his defeat. It's pretty bad when I find myself rooting for Kansas and Bill Self to win over the other teams in the Final Four.
