Probably stupid on my part but I gained respect for Hoiberg post Taj trade. He tried to make those awful point guards work, then said screw GarPax, and pushed hard on Mirotic/Rondo/Grant to pretty good results. I think you could look at Pacers and Heat and think we should be better with Butler being best player across those teams, but our second unit is filled with garbage.

Are we really questioning putting in Nate Jones in to begin the 8th? That is the epitome of restrospective managing. You can't just use relievers who performed well in their last outing every time. Jones is a good reliever, he needs to get innings, and he has proven he can get hitters out more often than not. Swarzak has not.

Weird. Wonder if it's a DL move or player being sent down. If May goes down does Willy actually play center? Would that put Leury there full time?

Philly did that a few times after Embiid went down IIRC Ha, true, but Nets are worst team in NBA with those dudes. Anyway, just glad that the eyes of the NBA will turn to Paul Zipser, the more coordinated and better shooting little brother to Omar Asik, who was the taller younger brother to Judge Reinhold.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 06:27 AM) Well, they looked more motivated the last two games than I have seen them all season. Maybe they carry that into the playoffs, or maybe not since they won't be playing NJ or Orlando Yeah but partial credit, Nets didn't start an NBA team last night.

Zipser en fuego

Great game

Huuuuuge K. Man Narvaez sets up off the plate a lot.

That was a miserable play by Jose.

Nobody knew it could be so complicated.

hoo boy, soto is out too. Now THIS is a sunday lineup.

The nets are basically starting a D league team so if bulls lose...the league shoudl overrule and put in Heat.

Good Renteria tweet on Anderson. Edit: click the pic.twitter link for the quote.

Edit: yeah clearly I can't figure it out either. Sorry.

Is that a bad image link? Looks like a scary URL to click.

While recognizing these are public universities, honestly didn't realize they had ability to regulate athletic conferences.

And Laumann thought Courtney Hawkins was better than Corey Seager. It's weird, almost like amateur players sometimes fail and succeed in a way that is difficult to predict.

I think Law's framework for pitchers makes sense as a drafting philosophy (taller, mechanically sound pitchers tend to make majors more), but as a talent evaluator through minors I think it's a little boring. Its too rigid and doesn't put much thought into why different types of pitchers may be effective. I like the BA guys for pitchers more, and law and longenhagen for hitters. Worth noting that both law and longenhagen aren't high on Robert.

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/here-are-th...ins-and-losses/ Not that big of a deal, but considering the uptick we saw with Kahnle thought it was interesting to see other end of the gun. This is using the pitchf/x speed, not the new statcast calc. Ynoa - 94.7 to 91.1 (-3.6) Petricka - 95.4 to 91.9 (-3.5) OTOH, we are talking about 3 IP here between the two of them. Something to watch, better than grammartalk.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) He wasn't. Sox make a big deal about wanting players to face adversity in minors before majors, that seems to be their takeaway with Beckham. I guess waiting for AAA to catch up to him could have done that, but moving him aggressively should have as well.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 10:59 AM) Awesome to see that Alec could bounce with such an impressive performance after such an awful one. Definitely. He seems to really be taking to the sox org's treatment of him.

SSS and all but I'm pleasantly surprised with Garcia. M.O. from Pitt on him was he had all the tools but never put it together at plate. Finally gave up on him, but always nice to see a hot start as you always wonder how much of it is mental. Little success early on can go a long way.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 09:20 AM) Keith Law thinks Minnesota goes Brendan McKay at #1. He said he'd take Greene but he feels like Minnesota won't just because a HS righty has never gone #1. Who could blame them. No way I'd go HS pitcher #1 after the 2014 draft.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 08:42 AM) this apology was about money, they don't give a s*** about feelings He did an actual apology, much less public, at an appearance at Newseum last night. Spokespeople shouldn't expect to comment publicly right?
