To be fair, it kind of did do that. The debate is whether a 3-loss team that lost to an unranked team should be in the national championship...
You spent the entire season b****ing about how horrible the coach is, how the QB needs to be banished, how bad the playcalling and coordinators...
The upside is that it builds your resume. OU is potentially ranked below Texas right now despite fewer losses if they hadn't beaten Michigan. If...
You’re the one that set ridiculous parameters with no sample to choose from. If you can’t grasp the concept of a theoretical Ohtani that doesn’t...
im not sure but the sample size to work with seems pretty miniscule, especially when you narrow to good players in their primes. Ohtani has...
Completely disagree. No one's going to evaluate him on a handful of starts coming back midseason this year. Coming off TJ is irrelevant in the...
28 year old starter with crazy stuff when he's right. Obviously we'll never know, but if he were a free agent today, I suspect he'd get a contract...
I'd be really interested in this too. My suspicion is that, bigger picture, the teams that do bullpen games most aren't the ones that generally...
Good point - I forgot about the starters used in the extra inning game!
I think Astros fans are spoiled by our starting pitching the last 7-8 years. It seems like very few teams have actual starting pitching depth...
He's a 28 year old that has had 5ish WAR each of the last 5 years - the last two despite missing decent amounts of time. He'll get well north of...
Step 1 is getting to the postseason. We've tended to take that for granted, but teams will pay for that part.
Going into today, sportsbettors who are not influenced by ESPN had Simpson tied for 3rd in the race. The Oregon QB was #1 but lost today, so...
I think it's a home-away thing and they do alternate each year, if I understand correctly.
To be fair, the game has been at 11am for much of the recent history, and there's no sunny side in that case. And it's not normally 90+ degrees in...
Managers seem to go nuts and feel the need to overmanage their pitching staff in the postseason. Pulling starters after 4 or 5 innings because...
If you can't trust the players to make good decisions then you need better players. You don't need a manager to try to second guess and...
So you think Crane, a guy who has never had problems paying money to field a roster, will spend $200+ million on a roster but won't spend a couple...
Where or when exactly would you even expect to see their prep work? Do you have access to the film room, the workout rooms, the training programs,...
Which is the worst possible strategy. Because next year, that means the new manager has coaches he didn't have a say in, or the new coaches that...
