    You don't have to pay top dollar for pitchers with an injury history?

    Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

    But he had 6 years of college ball before the NBA. I was looking at how quickly Keaton went from an unknown to a top rookie. Most of the top draft choices have had a following for a number of years even going back to early high school even if they are one and done. How many one and done's...

    No comparison. 6 years in college and was a possible top draft pick the year before he went to Michigan. No one even knew who Keaton was before his one year at Illinois.

    Has anyone ever done this well as a rookie coming from the most unheralded status coming out of high school? From barely recruited to one of the top rookies in the NBA in one year.

    FInish Ayo 29 minutes 16 points TSJ 19 minutes 10 points. Looks like they will be a meaningful part of the Timberwolves. Ant is unconcious.

    They are packing Wrigley almost every game. Why spend more?

    Pretty much what we have seen in the last part of the season. Going against top pitchers not much offense. Mediocre pitching. Helpless unless they are bombing lesser pitchers. Cannot manufacture runs against the top pitchers. Hate to say it but game over.

    Chicago Cubs 2026

    If the Padres win and the Phillies lose today, the Cubs Sunday game will not matter. Would they still play it or just head back to Chicago or to San Diego? If they were playing in Boston and it was rained out, they would not make it up so why play it in Tampa and risk injuries?

    Phillies lose. Padres down 4. Cubs would have to win Sunday and Padres lose all 3. Most likely Cubs playing red hot Padres in San Diego.

    What a disappointment. Why bother with the playoffs? I guess they want to play the Braves in Atlanta.

    The obvious solution is for the Phillies and Padres to lose out. :)
