Baseball is absolutely wonderful. Braves team is just fantastic to cheer on. Acuna looks like a class A star, Albies is becomming an incredible player, and Freeman is a rock in that lineup. A team in my fantasy league is named Bryce to the Phillies. With the Phillies recent success of prospects and fun team, does anyone think they have a legit shot of signing Bryce Harper? Just curious. That seems like a good fit.

Uhhh Moncada

Thompson

I'll go Davidson cause why not against KC

Let's go Rey Lopez!

So the Greatest Royal Rumble turned out to be a glorified House show. Not sure why WWE decided to do it that way... It was a pretty bad show if your expectations where PPV/Royal Rumble expectations. If your expectations was house show, then sure it passed. There was not a single canon story related item from the GRR. It's cool that Braun won the Rumble tho. And Titus O'Neil's fall during the rumble was hilarious. Jinder's botch on Jeff Hardy was Rough.

Any word on if Abreu is playing? NVM: He's back in the line up.

Yoan Moncada

Why does Anderson bat so low? I guess the match up? edit: nvm got pushd up to the 2 spot

Why did Abreu leave the game? Sorry didn't see.

davidson

Yeah, very weird starting time... ... Anyway, I got to pick one of Tim Anderson or Yoan Moncada for my fantasy line up tonight... Timmy is batting first while Moncada is batting 6th leads me to beleive that the manager has more faith in Timmy against the lefty... so I'm going Timmy.

Abreu

Btw awesome additions to soxtalk. This place looks great with the update.

It's quite simple... Most of the fault is on the pitching staff. Can you really expect to win when you have Shields/Fulmer/Miguel Gonzalez starting games and then having a RP core like we have? No. Add in the fact that Giol is doing terrible and you aren't winning games. The hitting hasn't been good either, but it's been passable for what our expectations have been. Just get over it, it's a rebuild and it's been freezing most of our games. Wait for the summer to kick in.

Welp, with Moncada out i have no interest in this game. Not saying it was a bad decision -- if he was dogging it then it was the best possible decision to take him out and prove a point, but my interest is now 0 for this game. Peace

Man this team is brutal!

Yeah. It just doesn't fit. You got say, AJ/Nak/Daniel in the main event segment which we can say is ~30 minutes per show. Then you got the womans division for 30 minutes per show. The Tag division for 30, and you are left with 30 for hte mid-card US title. Not sure where they all can fit. I guess it's going to be one of those bench situations where it's a revolving door. I just see Almas as the odd man out once he loses his luster, unless Vince feels he can be the Alberto Del Rio or w.e.

Yoan Moncada

Wow, pathetic TBH. What goes through these players minds who speak of things like this? It just sounds salty AF.

Does anyone else worry about how stacked smackdown is and how little time there is for everyone? Undoubtedly, there will be wrestlers who get the short end of the stick. I'd hate for that to be Almas, Saniiity, Hardy, Samoa Joe, Asuka, Miz, etc. you get my point. On Raw, at least I feel confident that Owens/Zayn/Roode will have spots in the 3 hours and on PPV's. A big guy I worry about is Almas, he can't fit in the title picture immediately, so I hope they use him properly.

WWE is so funny sometimes... They have the FOTC (Reigns) calling Joe a "fatass" meanwhile have the whole Alexa vs. Nia Jax storyline regarding body-shamming. This s***. :lol: :lol:

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 15, 2018 -> 07:38 PM) The teams in the south would never allow you to selectively stick their games in times of year when school is in session/when it's harder for them to sell tickets. So what? Why do they have a say here? Tell them it's just how it works.

Superstar Shake up starting tonight. Gotta say, right now I'm super bored with the main show after 'Mania. Lesnar/Reigns continuation does absolutely nothing for me and sets me off on the Raw show. Bayley vs. Banks is interesting and can really turn out to be a compelling story, especially if one of them (banks) turns heel and takes on Absolution in the process, but it's been a bit dull lately. Hoping it picks up. Nia as women's champion is b-o-r-i-n-g. Worked with the angle regarding Bliss, but her time is ticking as a babyface, she can't last. The 'surprise's' from Monday's raw, while cool, were a bit underwhelming in the long run. Does anyone think No Way Jose will actually perform higher than a jobber with his gimmick? He isn't going anywhere. Authors of Pain look like a legit WWE tag team... meaning welcome to The Club's status of jobbers every week... And Bobby Lashley is someone I've never been interested in. Although, I'll give him a chance since I've heard he's gotten better in the ring and he is a freak in terms of physique. Rumors are that Velveteen dream has a small chance of getting the call up to the main roster... doesn't matter tho, they'll absolutely butcher his character. That guy is phenomenal and should be an upper mid-card level talent, but with WWE booking, the fans will turn on him fast. The Saudi event is, I guess, killing my vibe. I'm not a fan of having canon material on PPV's that are not standard. I can't tell if this event is more of a house show feel or a legit PPV feel. I don't like it. Hoping to get some good feuds that I can get behind on today's Raw. Right now, I'm not really looking forward to anything in the WWE beyond Banks/bayley and AJ/Nak.
