QUOTE (scs787 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 03:28 PM) Any chance they look at him for the pen? Could really use him as a long man. Or does he go to Charlotte to be the first man up should an injury happen? Unless Hanson completely alters his delivery (I think he tried to adjust it with Atlanta and it didn't do him any good), he's not going to stay healthy. He should probably be used in the bullpen if you want any real productivity out of him.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 03:24 PM) He's the poster boy as to why you shouldn't throw 25% sliders. Take note, Chris Sale. (of course, Randy Johnson averaged 38.6% from 02-09) Eh, Hanson's issues are with his shoulder. Sliders usually lead to elbow issues. Hanson has a pretty bad timing problem in his delivery, which is why he's had shoulder issues. http://www.chrisoleary.com/projects/Pitchi...ommyHanson.html

Ronnie Brewer's back.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 08:18 AM) That's the worst FG Community article I've read So. much. statistical. analysis.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 10:39 PM) What's the difference between losing to Miami in the second round or third round? Either way they're gonna get smoked. I'd rather watch the Bulls possibly win two series as opposed to one? It's a pipe dream for the Bulls to beat the Heat more than once or twice, but that doesn't mean we should all just slit our wrists and commit suicide on the season.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 11:20 PM) They're not seeding based on what they think is going to happen, they're seeding on what has happened. Kentucky's regular season was extremely average and they absolutely belonged where they got seeded. I feel as if the seeding has way too much correlation to RPI, which has its flaws (way too much emphasis on SOS). Louisville was ranked highly via BPI, coaches pools, etc., but they were ranked #19 in RPI. There's no other reason why they were a #4 seed. Kentucky was #12 in BPI, #17 in Kenpom (UConn was #25). I think that the methods the committee uses are too old fashioned and not descriptive enough.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 11:11 PM) Given what they did in the regular season, they didn't deserve that much higher of a seed. They still needed late second magic to beat four of the best teams in the tourney. It's not about seeding, it's about momentum and luck. They also have a ton of talent.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 10:43 PM) You clearly don't understand the concept of seeding. Then please educate me on it. This national championship is the lowest combined seeding since the bracket started in 1979. I realize the selection committee can only have so much to go off of, but having a #7 and #8 in the final means they probably didn't do the best evaluation of the field.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 10:34 PM) Really? I felt Kentucky was given a bad seed at the beginning. They gave UMass a #6 seed in that region.

What a great job by the selection committee. A #7 and a #8 seed in the national championship. That said, this Kentucky team is a lot of fun to watch and I hope they win it on Monday.

Wow. Harrison with a clutch 3.

Jackson got away with a travel.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 09:31 PM) Toronto in a close one with Milwaukee. YA RLY. I have serious doubt that the Raptors will lose a game again in the regular season. Their schedule is pretty easy the rest of the way. It really sucks that Indiana had to start struggling so badly that they lost their 3 game lead for the first seed. In case the Bulls do get the 4 seed, it would suck to play Miami in the second round.

Bulls doubling up the Wizards at half. They're playing incredibly well considering they had a game last night.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 11:11 AM) Flowers is red hot, better sit him down. Against a lefty no less. If anything, Nieto should have started in the last game against the Twins.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 11:21 PM) http://m.si.com/4100165/bucks-larry-sander...rogram/df7d9afa I didn't even think it was possible to get suspended for weed in the NBA Larry Sanders hasn't had a lot go right for him this year after his impressive season last year.

If only Alexei hit his line drive about 6-7 feet higher. He absolutely tattooed that ball.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 04:55 PM) Avi Garcia played about as bad of a game as you can play. If Garcia played a halfway decent RF, Jones wouldn't have even pitched today.

Ugh. We had a golden opportunity in the 9th.

Let's go Paulie!

Wow...awful luck.

Alexei's gotta get the job done. Flowers might be 4-4, but he can K at any time.

Let's go Alexei. That's gotta be the cheapest 2B ever.

lmao!

I thought Avisail was fast...how does he not beat that? Florimon bobbled the ball.
