With today's UCLA victory, Big Ten and Michigan looking to sweep all three major NCAA sports titles for the first time in decades. UCLA baseball as well. "The Big Ten has taken the mantle as the premier conference in all of college sports, and it isn't much of a debate. It starts with the two main sports in college athletics, and it extends throughout most of the rest of them. Looking at just the College Football Playoffs and the College Basketball tournament, it's been all Big Ten." Included in that is 6-0 head to head in the men's tourney. https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/big-ten-flexes-sec-both-230507353.html&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiq-aPx7NeTAxWvnWoFHZt2KkwQFnoECAMQAw&usg=AOvVaw2X7znGiX5EfDUWlW0xeexY

But not yet MIRED. Still need another win for .500 though.

Wild stat of the day RS/RA White Sox -24 SFG -25

Nine games played with scoring margins of 21, 12, 40, 34, 32, 34, 32, 11 and 4 points, working out to an average margin of 24.4 points. The game that prevented a double-digit sweep: a clash between the 25-52 New Orleans Pelicans and 20-57 Sacramento Kings. It was one of only two days in NBA history with at least nine games with an average margin of victory of at least 24 points — and the only other was the previous Sunday. For the season, there have been an NBA-record 89 games decided by at least 30 points, including the five games on Friday. espn.com

Sox now in fifth place in the AL (tied). 15th overall in mlb (tied).

Going to take at least 3/4 months.

Dodgers rallied from 6-1 down to lead Nats 8-6 amid growing concerns about Sasaki and Sheehan in the rotation. Just Wrobleski next up...then maybe River Ryan. Five comeback wins already. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mlb/article/shohei-ohtani-struck-out-by-nationals-reliever-whose-mother-received-help-from-dodgers-star-for-cancer-treatment-194452903.html

Mune has reached base in 8/9 games so far.

Just saved two runs in his first big league game. Solid play by Mune as well.

Lauer apparently is under the weather. Voth will be inserted soon.

Houser? Mead/Pereira? Or you're making fun of Cease trade getting brought up incessantly?

Take it Murray was the move instead of Ant Man?

Sandlin in the same range.

He doesn’t have that ability to actually gain strength in later innings, at least not yet…throwing 97-99 as pitch counts near 100. So much of Rodon’s power came from trunk/legs.

Thankfully, the Pirates will have the Skenes-Griffin combo for two-and-a-half seasons after this current one. With Skenes’ current market value calling for a 13-year, $507 million deal, the Pirates will most likely deal him at the trade deadline in 2029. Pirates owner Bob Nutting is worth a LOT of money though, so if he really wanted to, he could keep Skenes. Hopefully, he finds a way to do it, and makes Pittsburgh back into the legendary franchise it used to be. Www.yahoo.com/sports

My Privacy Choices NCAA President Charlie Baker Addresses Trump Executive Order, Tournament Expansion at Final FourBaker discussed his thoughts on the executive order that was signed on Friday. Michael McDaniel|4 hours ago Add us as a preferred source On Trump’s call to end "unscrupulous” agent behavior in college athletics…Trump’s executive order called for the end to pay-for-play schemes and a ban on “unscrupulous” agent behavior in negotiations for player compensation. While pay-for-play has run rampant in the NIL and revenue-sharing era thus far, could agents really be barred from a place in college athletics? Baker believes that could be up for discussion and interpretation over the coming months. “That part I think is sort of subject to debate and discussion. I mean, I've talked to enough people about that issue in particular that we are having some pretty interesting conversations with the membership about whether there's some way to create a little less chaos around that for the membership and frankly for the student athletes as well. The amount of traffic that takes place in that space is insane. And it's 24/7/365. I talked to coaches and ADs who said they've had entire teams that have been bothered the minute they were eliminated from the tournament.”

He's there at least until July/August. Huge up up for him.

Doesn't exactly build his credibility as an MLB announcer. On to 1600 Penn July 4th events?

Still no official explanation about Schriffen absence? Can't find anything online.

What was explanation? Complete reticence to ever pay top pitching FA prices? You know you're in trouble when Peralta is the second best FA option. McGonigle DeLauter Mune KGriffin Anthony Kurtz Chourio Langford Wetherholt all argue on the side of investment in star position players...and then there's ALSO the two year TJS wipe out when you most need those guys in a contention window. See Kopech Crochet Rodon. Also Guardians' young rotation supports idea you need talented pitchers...not a bunch of guys throwing 97-100 and blowing out their elbows.

UC school? irvine

Att:18,389. Sox Saturday vs. Blue Jays will be slightly different environment in Toronto against LAD this week

How is that better than Mune?
