Hell yea, more home and homes, less neutral sites. [BANGS TABLE] MORE HOME AND HOMES

Nootbaar is the obvious upgrade - it was always going to be whoever wasn't playing well between Church or Scott to be jettisoned by Nootbaar. It should maybe be Saggese instead but he's the only plausible backup SS they have (Fermin can maybe stand there, JJ could stand there if they shuffled...

Oh it's definitely an illusion with a -3 run differential but 5 games over .500, but... those wins still count, so they could play like a 78 win team from here on out instead of a 94 win team they're on pace for and still finish .500, which would be a huge accomplishment for this squad. The...

Yea that was my first thought... how is Duke making TV deals if the ACC owns their broadcasting rights?

Yea not making any of the like 10 teams who actually have a chance to win the tournament have any tougher of a path is at least an OK result of tournament expansion. It sucks these games will just be full of sub .500 power conference teams, but mid majors are going to fall further and further...

Uhh the CFP only has 12/138 teams (8.7%). They're trying to shift that to 16 (11%) or 24 (17%).

Crooks should come up immediately. Fire Pozo into the sun if they really have to keep doing the "carry 3 catchers" thing on the MLB roster. Crooks gets 75% of the starts, Herrera 25% of the starts (with the other 75% at DH), and Pages is your backup. Crooks really doesn't have anything left to...

Yea Tanner Franklin is a little too good (and old) to be in Peoria - I'd expect like 2-3 more starts there before moving to Springfield.

FAAART NOIIISE

Lol yea "yet" is a pretty big qualifier there. And 3 of those teams were just playing a few days ago and probably haven't wrapped up their player meetings. So that's to say I pretty much guarantee all 6 of those teams lose a player to the transfer portal. (maybe not UConn, there's something...

Yea we got Vlade Divac's son now. In the lead for Mike Bibby's kid too.

Obviously 34 PAs doesn't mean much, but just seeing his ground ball % under 40% for this long is a dream. The guy is a huge towering guy who, even over his miserable last 2 years, hits the crap out of the ball at times (top 10 max EVs, top 20 average EVs). Just needs to get the launch angle...

We'll probably do like 100 more of this list over the next 2 months, but I'm having a hard time thinking if there's going to be a more impressive/ realistic top 5 than this

I work for a business who's in the top 25 donors and we only had the 2 ticket allotment, same as everyone else. I am wondering if the top 5-10ish were actually held at 2 tickets though - like who's telling Larry Gies he can only have 2 final four tickets??

If Houston is only scoring 68 points, then Illinois is going to win by 15+ points.
