    Schauffele's win today led me to check on X. Currently at -.2 WAR and a 72 OPS+ while almost exclusively playing 2b. He was similarly bad in the first half last season, so there's still hope.

    Denver Nuggets (2) vs Minnesota Timberwolves (3) - 2024 WC Second Round

    I gave up on this game when the Wolves went down 20. Rewinding my YTTV now to figure out what happened.

    OKC Thunder (1) vs Dallas Mavericks (5) - 2024 WC Second Round

    OKC electing not to use their wealth of picks to bring in Gafford was appears to have been a massive mistake. This was clear since Game 1 (at the latest).

    New York Knicks (2) vs Indiana Pacers (6) - 2024 EC Second Round

    I'm not sure what ESPN is doing with the floor mics, but not being able to hear any whistles really detracts from watching the game. Edit - I think there is so much swearing on some of the fouls that they have to kill the mic audio.

    New York Knicks (2) vs Indiana Pacers (6) - 2024 EC Second Round

    Rocky start for the Knicks, but they're only down 2.

    Denver Nuggets (2) vs Minnesota Timberwolves (3) - 2024 WC Second Round

    They are loaded with guys who could score 25 or disappear during any given quarter and there's no way to predict when it'll be. Naz Reid can be completely dominant for a half and then you forget he's even on the team by the end of the 3rd.

    Benintendi now at -1.2 FanGraphs WAR and -1.5 BRef. At least on FanGraphs, that's tied for worst in MLB. That hamate surgery seems to have really crushed him.

    NFL Schedule Release 2024

    Kevin Clark's "This is Football" podcast has a new episode analyzing the schedule that's pretty funny. Worth a listen, IMO.

    2024 NBA Draft

    My son fell in love with Purdue and Edey this March Madness, so I watched him a lot. The NBA player he reminds me of most is Chuck Nevitt. He is immobile, slow, and has limited offensive skills. He is also one of the worst pick-setters I've ever seen. Here's a highlights package you can dream...

    NFL Schedule Release 2024

    The Panthers and the Pats are underdogs in every game they play as of today's odds. This is not true of any other teams.

    NFL Schedule Release 2024

    This Jets schedule would be hilarious. MNF against the Niners, then a short week v. the Titans, then ANOTHER short week v. the Pats? Just what a 40 year-old QB needs.

    NFL Schedule Release 2024

    As mentioned above, it's particularly indefensible given that Christmas is on a Wednesday.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    The level of bile Lombardi sends toward the Falcons' front office during his bit with Simmons on the latest podcast is pretty hilarious. Definitely still carrying BB's water.

    New York Knicks (2) vs Indiana Pacers (6) - 2024 EC Second Round

    Were you still watching when Stan Van went on his rant about this? He has a pretty meh team missing an important player (Mathurin) within two wins of the ECF. Seems pretty good to me.

    Misc. NFL Offseason News

    If you consider age, ability to avoid serious injury, and established history of performing in high-pressure situations, I think you could list Goff ahead of Tua, Rodgers and Herbert and seriously consider putting him ahead of Burrow until Joe Cool can go two years in a row without a devastating...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    What are the obvious fits for him other than LAL, meaning teams he'd be willing to be traded to that are a good fit and have some assets? SAS if they decide to give Wemby some real help and Mitchell is open to it? MIA? ORL if they want another scorer to pair with Banchero? ATL as part of a major...

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    Logged in to say something less charitable, but along the same lines.

    2024 NBA Draft

    Oooh - that's an interesting idea. I assume the Hawks keep Dejounte in these trade-Trae scenarios? Or do they trade him too and strip the whole thing down for parts?
