His lack of baseball pedigree calls for slower progression through the minors, not faster. There's an extent to which you want his real age to match his level, but he's behind in his baseball development. The Sox have nothing invested in him so it isn't like they need to have the pick paying off dividends before some arbitrary deadline, so no use risking him or anyone else in pushing too fast

I'm surprised how mortal Bryant's numbers look after how impressive his first week or so was. The main stat I'm looking for with him is K%. It's at 32% right now. I'm doubtful that he'll ever get below 25%, which puts a lot of pressure on him to hit a bunch of homers to be elite

QUOTE (Brian @ May 9, 2015 -> 05:58 PM) Nba says the correct no call was made on Lebron with 3 secs left. Ok. You have got to be s***ting me. Why say anything at all? That erodes the confidence I have in the league. Just saying it doesn't make it true, NBA

You don't lose attention for specific types of voters with proportional voting, they get more attention. A voting bloc that might comprise 5% of a state suddenly matters because that gets your party pretty close to a seat (or it does get you one, depending on the seat and specifics of the system).

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ May 8, 2015 -> 10:51 PM) This x 1,000,000 They will just not call James with a foul no matter what he does. That was some blatant ref s*** in the 4th, and I'm one who b****es about referees but that outright disgusting. Against all that garbage, the Bulls still found a way to pull it out, I'm so proud of these guys The way he attacked Rose with 7 seconds left was like a man who had no fear of a foul call

I still don't think we can win the series if the calls are going to go this way. I'm not going to say they're trying to f*** us, but they're f***ing us nonetheless

f*** you refs for not making a call there. I hope Thibs lets the officials have it post-game

Well at least they swallowed the whistle there. Wait, nevermind, he tossed Jimmy to the side, it should have been an offensive foul

Great play there. You're coaching for your job now, Thibs

You can't call those touchy fouls on the ground with less than a minute in the game unless they are truly egregious

You cannot fail to call the foul on LeBron in the previous possession and then call that on Jimmy. That decides the game

LeBron doesn't foul people, what don't they understand

We've had terrible offensive possessions late in games throughout this entire playoffs

QUOTE (Jake @ May 8, 2015 -> 10:26 PM) If I was the GM I'd release Kirk tonight just so that Thibs couldn't play him anymore Short of that, I'd fire Thibs if we lose the series

If I was the GM I'd release Kirk tonight just so that Thibs couldn't play him anymore

Bulls have been f***ed on some calls that clearly affected the score of the game

I really, really hope the Cavs give Tristan Thompson a max contract

LeBron has had a different foul standard applied to his plays compared to everyone else. I'd say the game has been pretty fair if you don't count LBJ plays. That last one he should have been whistled for an offensive foul

They might be giving Robin the green light to let some heads roll when mistakes are made.

I'm happy to have them try to get a bunch of points out of Tristan Thompson because Niko is out there since Niko will get them back and more

Time to get Brooks out of there

The nice thing is those refs will notice the hold when they look at this replay and they'll be looking for it in future possessions

Refs have been fine since halftime. EDIT: I say that as this flagrant stuff is coming up

Mirotic may expose the big coaching f***up by Thibs of not playing him thus far. The only plausible deniability he has is if Mirotic wasn't healthy

Really one-sided officiating thus far.
