Stinky Stanky

Show me velocity and location before I buy the tipping story.

Hard to give up on a converted catcher who reaches 100+. Remember when a guy we called Juan Disgusto added a new pitch and became the hottest reliever in the NL? Hard, but not out of the question.

Wild in the strike zone. The worst kind of wild. Isn't Katz supposed to fix this stuff?

They have to start sorting out guys who have half a clue to getting someone out and that includes nobodies from the depths of the system. This bullpen is going to give us all ulcers and soon. Bullpens make managers, not the other way around.

He's had a lot of practice drawing up that play. It's the only one he ever calls.

Those billboards are going to be the cause of a lot of snorting and giggling, for sure. A noble endeavor, worth the time and expense. ?

He addressed none of their many needs and is only marginally better than Ayo in the first place. At least Ayo can get to the hoop and play some defense, if not much else.

No. The oe is like you purse your lips to say oh but say eh instead. And l isn't pronounced r, at least the Midwestern r, although it might get get close to the Eastern r where you don't hear the r sound.

Not that it matters, but how does Poeltl come out sounding like Purtal? And don't tell me it's the German pronunciation because it isn't. He's a nice player either way. Blocked shots, team defense and hit from distance. Oh, and great coaching. That's how a team wins games.

Old. defense first point guard with a flair for cheap shots, according to the YouTube compilation I just looked at. That's our secret plan at PG. Volume.

Whole lotta time wasted obsessing over utility infielders.

They thought they had Gafford replaced with Bradley who Coach thinks is useless. What a mess. It might prove that if an owner promotes cronies the team might be as well off as if he goes outside the organization and hires fresh talent for the FO.

He got a flurry of floor time just before the deadline after sitting a bunch, so I think they were trying to move him.

Didn't seem to bother Mark Cuban. And Commissioner Silver concluded he's not A.S. Unstable and crazy are still in play however, IMO. Coach Kidd has a job ahead of him.

Seems counterintuitive that the shorter arm would provide more centrifugal force but my guess is that he's trying to get his velocity back. Fingers crossed. When he had it going he was great.

No news is good news.

So being an elite athlete doesn't make you an elite QB or an elite passer? Check and double check.

He sits or he's in his usual position after a nice run. Writhing in pain on the sideline or getting treatment for godknowswhat. Yes. he's an elite athlete, but does he have a future if he reacts to being tackled this way for his entire career?

Whad'ya think? Worse than Jim Boylen? It's a contest, IMO.

Grain or two of truth in these posts, mixed with the statutory negativity. It's the appearance of a a soft landing for a HOF manager and likely to have no effect on the season. Ease up, you vultures. (and I don't mean the two posters I quoted)

He had 10 assists tonight so there's hope. When they're in a half-court set with him at the point, which is the usual configuration, it's cuz Donovan has called for it. If the club had a traditional point guard other than Dragic, who can't play big minutes, it might not be that way.

Still thinking about all that money for a singles hitting corner outfielder. Ryan Sweeney was born a generation too soon.

DeRozan was playing like an MVP and made it all look like it was working. When he returned to mortal it started to look like it does now. And Lonzo, but primarily DDR. Without assets, it's going to be a tough rebuild. They need to get bigger and tougher inside; maybe tweak the roster some to accomplish that with someone else's bozos off their bench.

Major money and commitment for a singles hitter, hope for an insignificant power surge all you want, it's still next to nothing, while KC moves on to cheap talent that they developed and our guys have so much trouble developing. We fools follow a jerkwater organization. If the owner was as dollar smart as you think, he would have seen this and done what was needed to fix it a generation ago.

The matchups actually favor the Knicks a lot. No surprise seeing them push the Bulls around tonight or two days ago. Unwatchable. This goes back to their tailspin toward the end of last season.
