Samardzija had incredible stuff today.

The movement on that first pitch to Bautista...97 MPH too.

Why is Jose always swinging at those awful sliders low and away? He didn't do it as much last year. In fact, he crushed sliders last year according to pitch f/x. This year, he's got a negative pitch value on them.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 12:49 PM) I'd be shocked if the Cardinals take LaRoche. He's not hitting nearly well enough for them to be willing to pay him $12m next year when Matt Adams is back. History says LaRoche is a good finisher and a mediocre to poor starter. It'd be a smart get for them IMO.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 12:48 PM) so...the bulls did not sign Aaron brooks back at the vet min. We used a portion of our MMLE, so...we can't sign anyone else better than vet min. Because aaron brooks. Can't wait for the "WELL THIS IS SMART BECAUSE THEY DRAFTED JIMMY BUTLER" comments. No wonder we couldn't sign Lin...

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 12:18 PM) But the documentary blames those white kids. WTF did they do but win the birth lottery? Nothing. It's a movie about making white kids feel bad about being white. That's bulls***. lol you got "blame" from watching a one minute trailer? I think you're overreacting here.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 11:07 AM) I'm not sure what to think of the DeAndre Jordan business. It sounds to me like he probably never wanted to go anywhere else but his agent led him to believe he had no choice. Then he finds out he did have a choice. Fegan is an awful agent, but at the same time, DeAndre acted like a child. Your agent shouldn't sway you so easily that you agree to sign for the wrong team.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) I think if the Bulls offered him the same contract, he still goes to Charlotte. More PT, assuming DRose can stay healthy. From what Lin said, Dallas didn't even want him, which makes no sense to me. He would have gotten a lot more PT in Dallas given their current guard situation.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 10:37 AM) To put it into itunes in order to play over AppleTv I'm guessing you downloaded an MKV? I personally use Plex and I just throw whatever format I want on there. MKV, MP4, AVI, it plays everything. Only downside is you need a server for it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 10:19 AM) Finally, all those who suffer from white guilt have an outlet! Jesus. Here's the thing: you can, as a white person, appreciate and acknowledge that white people are privileged in a lot of ways and have certainly been MORE privileged than other races throughout history. However, (1) all "white" people are not the same. Some "white" people are not privileged and haven't experienced the same privilege as other whites; (2) whites in 2015, especially teenagers and young adults that this "documentary" is shaming, have nothing to do with the "privilege" and realistically are the LEAST privileged white people there has been in this country. The whole thing is a disgrace, but I'm sure some people will praise it as some amazing achievement in social commentary. edit: oh, and how is this not racist? The non-white guy is targeting white people specifically and chastising them. Can you imagine if he made a "Black People" documentary? I agree on your first point, but just because young white people are not as privileged today as they were 20 years ago doesn't mean they aren't privileged in some way. And you know why there isn't a "Black People" documentary. Just like there isn't a Hispanic People or Asian People documentary. Because they aren't privileged and they're minorities. There would be no point to make a documentary like that.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 09:37 AM) This is the longest its ever taken a movie to convert to MP4 format, come on Mad Max, I want to watch tonight Why do you need to convert it?

Holy crap Adam Eaton! I wonder how he hit no home runs last year. He's only 2 behind Garcia now.

Yeah, good thing it's over. I can't say I haven't been entertained though.

Thank god replay exists now. That's a call an umpire should never miss.

I don't see how he didn't tag him.

He just missed it.

Avi probably would have been on second anyhow after that walk.

lol seriously Avi? Why the hell would you do that?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 10:09 PM) GB now at the Mendoza line. Heh. Remember when some of us thought Gordon had turned it around in May?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 09:49 PM) Good point. Also, CP3, the president of the NBAPA, just very publicly barred a player from negotiating with a team. Yeah that can't be good...

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 09:37 PM) There's no way Fegan allows this contract to be signed tonight. He's been locked out to. Jordan can fire him at any time, so I don't think he has a say in this.

Jeremy Lin's going to Charlotte for 2 years and $4 million. A lot cheaper than I thought he was going to be.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 09:28 PM) Adrian Wojnarowski ✔@WojYahooNBA DeAndre Jordan needs an agent certification on contract, invalid without it. Agents are expected to join Clippers, Jordan tonight at house. Oh boy. Maybe Cuban will send some rogue agents/lawyers to infiltrate DeAndre's house and let them in.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) This is absolutely hilarious. I don't know why you would have to go to this sort of extreme to get a guy to sign a piece of paper. If he's a god damn adult, he should be able to decide on his own. Is Mark Cuban going to somehow trick him into signing with Dallas if they actually meet face to face?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 03:50 PM) Lol, MJ just tweeted 6 trophies and a goat. edit: I can't figure out how to copy/paste it. #n00b July 8th, 2015: The day NBA players figure out how to use emoji
