@B-Bob level success there.
This is utter nonsense. If they had won 1 more game (unrelated to anything Cam Smith did), then they may have made the postseason by keeping him...
ACC needs to be not-awful to avoid the JMU situation. As far as Cinderellas getting pasted, lots of P4 teams get pasted regularly in the playoffs...
I generally agree, but I think one legit complaint is that it dilutes the good games. You often end up with ranked teams playing unranked teams...
I think that's a fair position to take. But I think, like not being willing to sign free agents to longer deals, it just means you'll never get...
Absolutely. Like you said, its not a big enough sample size to have data to support it. But it does seem like whatever cutting-edge stuff these...
That's true. But my point is that also happened with the guys we already had - McCullers, Garcia, Javier, Urquidy, Arrighetti, etc. So it might...
There's no real reason to be reading into what a 22 yr old who had very limited minor league experience did in his first year. There are endless...
You're saying you'd rather pay a guy 2 extra years at a super-cheap rate than not? I'm sure every franchise would prefer that. And no pitcher who...
You don't even need to change sports or teams for good examples. Morton and Correa were Astros who had that experience of getting healthier later...
Who knows how Kikuchi would have fared if he stayed here, but he managed fine. Gerrit Cole managed just fine. Greinke didn't have any issues....
All of these players were injured by the 14th game (many were much earlier) and most were non-contact injuries. Not sure what the solution is, but...
If the Astros were planning to move Paredes, I doubt they get rid of both Dubon and Urias, their universal infield plug-and-play guys. If you...
Why? MLB players have injury-plagued seasons all the time and rebound from them. Just from the Astros' recent years, Correa, Altuve, Springer,...
Re-read what I wrote. A year ago, all of these things were true, and he was a year younger, had an extra year or control, and was not coming off...
Did these ADs not read the things they were agreeing to when they did it?? That said, a 12-0 ND that beats up on G5 teams is going to be ranked...
??? A year ago, Paredes (with 3 years of control) plus Cam Smith and Wesneski were equal in value to Tucker. Paredes wasn't even the most...
That happens every March, which is why there's talk about expanding to 72 or 80 or even 96 teams.
This only works if the conferences are small enough (10 schools?) where every team gets to play each other so there is a clear conference winner....
It doesn't. It's just treated as though it's a non-deferred contract with real-current value dollars (which is what it actually is in economic...
