July: 1-0, 23.0 runs/game EDIT - I did that math in my head.

Bears D really shut down the Chargers today. But I think the o is going to have to score more than 23 a game to make the playoffs.

This team… April - 17-9, 5.58 runs/game May - 13-16, 3.97 runs/game June 16-10, 5.42 runs/game

Yes. He told them to commit as many errors as possible in order to keep the team’s ERA low.

I know you’re joking, but despite the 7-22 month, the Cubs are in the second wildcard spot. The plan looks to be to limp along with Imanega, Assad, Rea, Boyd and Peterson as starters while using the Des Moines shuttle to keep the bullpen stocked with fresh AAAA arms. Try to win as many 6-5...

He’s a warm body. They’re looking for 5 innings a start, not perfection at this point. I’m sure they’ll try to make a higher quality addition to the starting staff closer to the deadline. Assuming they’re still in the playoff chase.

A big part of what people aren’t understanding is that the T-Wolves have almost no cap flexibility and have traded away future draft assets for nearly a decade. They know the roster looks incomplete, they don’t understand how the Wolves plan to do anything about it. I think there’s a pretty...

T-Wolves going with the “Whoops! All guards!” roster configuration.

You need to get about 900 innings from your starting pitching staff. It was completely reasonable to assume you’d get something like the following; Imanega - 150 IP, 4.00 ERA Rea - 150 IP, 4.50 ERA Cabrera - 100 IP, 4.25 ERA Taillon - 150 IP, 4.25 ERA Boyd - 150 IP, 3.75 ERA Assad - 100 IP...

Maybe positive signs of Swanson busting out of it? Getting that OPS in screaming distance of league average.

Steele, Boyd, Wiggins, Brown, Cabrera, Taillon, Horton all on the IL now. That’s 7 of top 10 starters in the system all hurt at the same time. Also their closer, Palencia.

I need a million dollars in cash and to be 10 years younger.

In the Wolves’ last 3 playoff games, which I believe were the only 3 where both Ant and Ayo were healthy enough to start, TJ got just under 20 minutes a game. Barring another roster move to bring in another guard who would play over TJ, I don’t see any reason why he wouldn’t get about that...

A little nugget of interest from ESPN’s story on the Randle trade: “Flushed with greater financial flexibility thanks to the deal, the Wolves now intend to sign forward Ayo Dosunmu to a five-year, $112 million contract that includes a player option in the fifth season, sources told Charania.”...

26 of the 32 NFL teams are named after a city and not a state or region. Of those 26, 9 currently play in a city other than the one they’re named after - Dallas, Miami, Buffalo, Washington, San Francisco, both LA teams, and both New York teams. (And even if you want to say the New York teams...
