    Just an FYI, Doke was having back pain that had him bed ridden two days before this game. He was a GTD and played through pain. Bamba was great though and brought the intensity to this game that he hasn’t been bringing to others. His motor has been questioned. Elite talent though.

    Arizona Diamondbacks off season thread 2017-2018

    Simple question here: Who is the better MLB baseball player offensively, Rickey Henderson (Avg 59 RBI/162 Games) or Dante Bichette (Avg 108 RBI/162 Games) If you choose Henderson, you kinda kill your "RBI's is the most important stat on offense". If you pick Bichette, you kinda kill your "I...

    I had hope that by now we'd have grown you out of this perspective. We still have time I suppose.

    I don't think so, Corbin had a pretty good year last year. He's not going to carry a rotation into the playoffs by himself, but he can certainly help a club get there.

    Machado is considered a great defensive 3B (possibly tops in MLB). The two years before last year he was top 3 in fWAR for 3B. Really only behind Donaldson and Bryant.

    Poor Mike Hazen. Hard to win at poker when you have no chips. That's the 2017 DBacks.

    Sun Devil Basketball 17-18

    ASU would be only the 11th loss Bill Self has had at Allen Fieldhouse since he started coaching KU in 2003. I'd say that's "radar worthy".

    Well I mean, Preston is still out and having him step in so Vick wasn't the only guy in the high post position might have helped a bit, but we just beat ourselves. A Dec non-con loss isn't the end of the world. We also play much worse at Sprint than at Phog. Hell, Thybulle went 5-8 from behind...

    You mean two years from now? He'll be a frosh at Oregon next year.

    First, it was in KC, not Lawrence. Technically Missouri ;) We had played Syracuse the game before and destroyed them with lobs and 3PT when the zone collapsed. So this game UW gives us the high post WIDE OPEN all game basically playing 4-on-3 at the perimeter and 1-on-2 in the post. Vick played...

    The reason I personally went to laziness was watching him in transition. Granted I've only seen him in one game, but the effort to get down the floor and the effort to get position once you got there seemed really lacking at times. I saw this on offense as we as defense. Maybe it is a lack of...

    Ayton is "L-A-Z-Y, you ain't got no alibi, you lazy, huh huh, you lazy." Maybe an NBA coach will help that, but I don't see it changing in college.

    The Next Battle in the War Over WAR

    Great article regarding the stat WAR and the AL MVP race. Bill James isn't always right, but he's one of the best "thinkers" in baseball. https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2017/11/29/16712482/future-of-war-aaron-judge-jose-altuve-bill-james-debate

    Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

    On BBCA. Based upon Douglas Adams stories. Bizarre, but certainly pulls you in. Fiona Dourif, daughter of Brad Dourif, is great in it IMO.

    "Room" = (2017 Opening day payroll + 5%) - (2018 Contract commitments + Estimated arb eligible) If you look at DET, their 2017 opening day payroll was large, but their obligations for 2018 are small, so they theoretically have "room" to sign FAs if you assume they maintain their payroll totals...

    As it says in the chart, based upon 2017 opening day payroll and 2018 financial commitments. We have big jumps in some contracts and a ton of arb players, so our 2018 payroll will go up even without a FA acquisition.

    What is fair for J.D Martinez’s next contract? Some one suggest...

    Yeah, it's not like he'd never play, but you'd platoon him and PH against LHP and DH at AL parks. It's probably how to milk the most value out of him anyways.

    What is fair for J.D Martinez’s next contract? Some one suggest...

    The over-arching strategy for such a heavy emphasis on pitching (by signing another "ace") would be to field the most defensively capable team you could and hope to win your games 1-0 instead of 7-6. The humidor is a variable here on offensive production at Chase, but would expect to reduce the...

    Rumor is Bielema is gone after the year and Malzahn is first three plans.
