[short flame]

I don’t like combat sports, which I ironic because I love fighting mangas

[robust grotto]

lol nah I'm with you

[celest zephyr]

Nah it’s because I don’t want to get socked in the face

And ngl combat sports are sometimes too violent for me

Even nfl is borderline at times or hockey

[short flame]

I don’t like blood unless it’s fictional

[robust grotto]

even hockey fights. some are just dumb

[celest zephyr]

Same tbh

Hockey fights are dumb

[short flame]

I’m all for being physical but I like the physicality to follow the game

[celest zephyr]

Defending your teammate from a cheap shot is cool some of the shit idk

[short flame]

So the fights I’m not a fan of

[robust grotto]

I appreciate that they allow it though idk, some are justified and meaningful too

it's a balance

there is plenty of nonsense though

[celest zephyr]

Yeah I like that they break it up if it gets too far

Omg I got pushed too hard time to fight!!!!!!

[short flame]

The fact that they’re chorégraphed feels weird to me

[celest zephyr]

Eh they aren’t really

[short flame]

Dropping gloves and all

[celest zephyr]

I haven’t heard of any modern team go let’s teach our guys to fight

[short flame]

Oh I think one is coming for buffalo

[celest zephyr]

I mean both people have to be willing or it’s pointless

[robust grotto]

some are organic, like when your team is down 1-0 and your guy makes a big hit, but has to fight bc of it. brings juice to the game and the team

[short flame]

Never mind the ref stopped it

[celest zephyr]

And imo it’s better if it’s fair

[wet token]

We are about to cook

🫲🤩🫱

[celest zephyr]

And not just one guy wears gloves and beats the shit out of a guy without them

[robust grotto]

In the sense that they get ready drop the gloves and start punching. I’m not against it but it feels weird to me who watched footy growing up

[short flame]

Yeah I get that but it feels weird

[celest zephyr]

Yeah it does fair enough

[short flame]

Congrats on beating arsenal

[thorn hornet]

The WS title is the only thing I'm missing from my sports teams.

Magic are always gonna be jobbers to the NBA Finals winners.

Fuck you

Just cause it’s true doesn’t mean you have to say it

[sweet tree]

lol I saw the nationals win but don't have much interest in baseball, still a fun ride

There’s a team called Washington senators?

Was

[sweet tree]

they're called the Minnesota twins now it seems

[honest umbra]

did u guys see rangers win the WS?

[dim kettle]

The first version went to Minnesota in the 60s and another went to Arlington in the 70s

[dim kettle]

https://fixupx.com/YahooSports/status/1719915938496032898?s=20

[desert palm]

2 of them in fact

[restive vector]

Until now

[short flame]

Oh come on now I can’t even process one don’t bring a second, I’m questioning my whole existence

[dim kettle]

Yeah, one went north and became the Twins. The Sens were then brought back as an expansion team and then went to Texas.

[desert palm]

One was the first iteration who moved to Minnesota to become the twins. And the othER MOVED TO ARLINGTON TO BECOME THE 2023 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS TEXAS RANGERS!!!!

[short flame]

And they’re unrelated to the Ottawa senators and the Washington capitals?

[desert palm]

Yep

[short flame]

Oh is it the other Washington?

[desert palm]

Capitals is related

Same city

[dim kettle]

Ottawa Senators weren't even thought of when the Washington Senators were a thing

[desert palm]

Washington “Senetors” referred to the US Senate

Ottawa refers to the Roman ones

[short flame]

Oh so not even the cool ones

[dim kettle]

The Nats do still use the Sens old hat logo though.

[desert palm]

Yeah

I looked into it

[dim kettle]

That WalGreens W logo.

[simple seal]

63 fuckin years but they finally did it lol

[desert palm]

And they said that the 2 main reasons they went with Nationals and not Senators was 1. The Senate is hated on all sides nowadays so not a good look and 2. Because both iterations were super bad so they wanted to step away from their failures.

[desert palm]

Yepppppo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rangers are them!!!!!!

[simple seal]

I think that is 3rd most years to a 1st WS title, only surpassed by the Phillies and the Orioles

[dim kettle]

Everyone is gonna get a WS title at this rate, except Seattle, because Seattle.

[short flame]

Brewers

[simple seal]

Phillies didnt win one till 1980 lmao

[dim kettle]

They had that curse whatever it was.

[simple seal]

Mariners are on another level, most seasons w/o a single WS appearance for sure

[dim kettle]

Mariners are just a modern Chicago Cubs without WS titles to cope with.

[simple seal]

Still not the largest drought between appearances tho

Cubs went 71 years lol

[desert palm]

Guardians not since 1948

World Series

Win

[simple seal]

Is not what I meant

Cubs did not even reach the WS for 71 years

1945 to 2016

[smoky fable]

Yeah he was great. Wish he beat the Astros in that world series.

got one against the rays though

[smoky fable]

I just don't agree with that sentiment. Not with this cheap owner who won't spend as much as the Mets, Giants, and Padres do.

It rings hollow.

[desert palm]

😢

[smoky fable]

It's similar to the problem you have with Brian Cashman.

No faith

[desert palm]

I get what you mean it’s a little different between the teams, but I do understand what you are saying

The Yankees don’t spend well and the Diamondbacks don’t spend enough

And when they do, it’s also a failure

[smoky fable]

A team has money but doesn't spend it well while the other doesn't spend at all

[smoky fable]

Thanks for nothing Mad Bum

[desert palm]

Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking

At the end of the day, you guys beat the Dodgers. You guys beat the Phillies

Winning the pennant is a big accomplishment

This young core has a bright future. I expect a good season from them next year.

Sometimes when the Young see something they want they want to achieve it even more badly

That’s exactly what happened with the 1995 Yankees, and all the young core members

They had a taste of success, and they wanted to make sure that they were able to achieve it immediately, which is what they did a season later

[austere lava]

8 more years of corbin carroll

dbacks should be a divison threat the next few years

[desert palm]

Exactly

Very smart extension

[austere lava]

then again so should we, but ownership gonna ownership

[desert palm]

What team do you root for again? I forgot

[austere lava]

mariners

[desert palm]

Very very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very very similar boat as the Diamondbacks

Almost to a T

[austere lava]

good young core with a superstar for the next decade that ownership fails to support by building a good team around 😢

[dim ledge]

Sorry about your DBacks @smoky fable 💔

[smoky fable]

Tough

[austere lava]

im glad sewald got to pitch in the world series. sad that he was all tuckered out by the time he got there though

[smoky fable]

I think rangers just knew him well

They jumped on him immediately the games he pitched

[smoky fable]

Suns loss in 2021 numbed that pain, although couldn’t hate your boy Giannis for it.

That was worse

[austere lava]

rangers got to him with good hitting but i also think he was a bit overused prior to that game

[desert palm]

Statistically, the Diamondbacks had a better bullpen, kind of wild that it was the opposite most of this World Series

[austere lava]

rangers bullpen is an enigma

[desert palm]

Seriously

[austere lava]

to think degrom only pitched 30 innings this year

al west is gonna be astros vs rangers for a few years if the mariners dont stop treading water

Taylor

Taylor plays the panthers and Henderson plays the packers

Taylor is better and has a bigger sample size

[wet onyx]

true but zach moss has been taking carries

Oh yeah true I forgot Zack moss was still playing

I don’t think you could go wrong with either. Both are playing piss poor opponents

Trust your gut

They’re similar in defensive rushing stats (panthers and packers)

[desert palm]

This post completely disregard the fact that the entire regular season everything was up from viewership to game attendance pretty significantly to

At the end of the day, I’m not surprised that a middling market team, and a big market team but with a very regional fanbase has low numbers in the World Series watching

But since when is the World Series point been ratings?

The point of the World Series has always been to showcase after much trial and tribulations in the regular season end in the postseason which teams made it out on top

You gotta remember that the World Series in 2017 featured a big market nationwide team

2018 also featured two of them

2019 featured too big markets

2020 featured 1 nationalized big market team

[desert palm]

Same for 21 and same goes for 22

This is the first time in a pretty long time that it has not been either of that

[sweet tree]

nba finals in 2020 was pretty low too

likely due to the pandemic ye

[desert palm]

Moral of the story, Joe schmo over here is an idiot

He also doesn’t ever talk about the crazy numbers that the WBC produced in spring

Which also brought significant growth to the MLB

[robust grotto]

Never. I won’t disagree with anything you said

[desert palm]

I know it’s not you

It’s Joe Schmoe

[robust grotto]

Idk, I don’t think Joe is an idiot though because you know who will care? The MLB owners

BUT you’re right about the fact that regular season was way way better

It balances out in the end

[desert palm]

And some ways you can argue that’s a better thing

Do you know how embarrassing it is for none of the nationalized big markets to make it to the World Series this season

I’m talking

[hasty mesa]

Not into MLB but the argument I hear is they don’t market their stars

[desert palm]

Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox’s, Phillies, Giants, Cubs, even Mets, Braves and Cardinals

[desert palm]

That is true, but there is an upward trend in this regard

[desert palm]

These teams all have fan bases across a bunch of different states not just their home state

[desert palm]

A bunch of teams have started spending a lot of money in the online marketing department and there has been an upward trend in these teams to market the players that are fun.

[smoky fable]

None of these championships should have to worry about ratings except execs

Fans shouldn’t care

[desert palm]

It didn’t help up until about 2017 players were actively told you cannot be fun

Joey Votto mentioned this to MadDog couple months ago

He was told when he was younger by his clubhouse leaders you have to be calm and not to visibly emotional

And he said that he fundamental disagreed with it but it was the norm back then and we’re just talking 15 years ago

I’m so happy that this sentiment is gone because it’s so stupid

I’m sorry for this rant, it’s just every time I see someone tweet regarding baseball trends it irritates me because it seems like they don’t know what they are talking about.

[smoky fable]

They probably don’t

[celest zephyr]

if anything that's better

you want to bitch and moan then build a better team

don't just build a shit team like the angels and go reeeeeeee why are the ratings down

[desert palm]

By the way, free agency has already begun

[smoky fable]

What would you predict

Ohtani to the Dodgers?

[desert palm]

@stiff coyote

Second officially announced signing

The first one was a nothing burger

[smoky fable]

I thought it started in 4-5 days

Free agency

[desert palm]

It starts as soon as the seasons over

Which is why it does feel a little slow because it goes on till about spring training

[desert palm]

Everyone is saying this, but I so don’t want this to happen

One reason being it’s predictable

And the other is because I want him

Lol

[smoky fable]

Wouldn’t have to move much if he goes to the dodgers

[desert palm]

Ohtani honestly is a big risk for any team

[smoky fable]

He can’t pitch but he can hit

Thanks to the injury

[desert palm]

He is a DH the entire 2024

And a second surgery related to the UCL is detrimental to anyone’s career

A lot of players are not successful after the second one

[smoky fable]

Damn

It’s always dread with the Tommy john

@solid dagger @fluid moat Soule is gonna be a great player yall better not sell him or something

[solid dagger]

Man I love him

I hated how Allegri only let him play like 3 minutes a game last season and now with a lot of playing time he's showing why he's a gem

If we develop our talent the right way we have a bright future with Soule, Yildiz, Hujsen, Fagioli (no comment 🏴‍☠️) and Barrenechea

Soule definitely will challenge for a starting role next season

[hasty basin]

Yeah I love him for Frosinone

The only reason I watch them is because of Kvernadze but the man barely plays and when he does he's shite

Fuck you brad Marchand

[celest zephyr]

Without question my least favourite player in the entire league

Absolute rat

https://youtu.be/upZ6N8bHOzE?si=UQmpQkoaNQDJ7e3I

How the fuck did he get away with that?

Dude should be suspended 5 games for that shit

Not even a penalty

@rustic mountain bro there is bullshit and then there is this

this shit makes me want to quit watching hockey. it's not winning or losing. it's absolute crap where the league gives absolutely zero fucks about player safety

[honest umbra]

dang spurs own the suns?

[sweet tree]

so far yh

[celest zephyr]

he lifts lili's leg by his ankle

that's not even slewfoot

that's clearly pulling someone's leg up

[nimble onyx]

his teammates didnt help him either

[celest zephyr]

the leafs are a softass pathetic team that i'm ngl doesn't deserve anything for their piss poor play

but still man that is a clear blatant dangerous trip

without even any bias

if marchand doesn't get suspended for that trip i'm done

no penalty, no suspension would just be absurd

[modest totem]

So is Derek Watt just chillin these days?

[simple seal]

Wemby going off

28 points through 3

The Suns defense is dogwater

103 points allowed and still 1 quarter left lol

KD and Booker gonna have to hard carry on offense to compensate

[celest zephyr]

super teams don't work anymore

just not enough depth

and the average player rn is too good

[smoky fable]

yeah suns behind by 3 now

Never mind

They lost

[sweet tree]

that's game

[nimble onyx]

Wemby is him

38 point game, nice

have the other rookies been good, haven't watched em lol

How is this bum ass team 4th in the division

The ducks have the same amount of points as the leafs

[ripe yacht]

So what are the chances that sharks come back 😹

[celest zephyr]

zero because they are ass

[sweet tree]

9-0 is crazy

also scoot stats don't look good

[proud coyote]

he's not been great

but I didn't really expect him to be

was imagining something like russ's first two years

he's been pretty good on defense though which is promising

our best rookie has been the random 2nd rounder we got from the suns lol

toumani camara

he's VERY good on defense

[smoky fable]

sucked to lose him

He was good in summer league

[ripe yacht]

10-0 😩, it's coming home

Even if it's not 2+

there was controversy surrounding the game far as i could tell

Rodri is back so I think it's a safe bet

[keen sparrow]

but new zealanders are a loud majority and i think all of the cards/penalties were fine

[dim ledge]

Personally yeh once NZ knocked out Ireland I wanted em out, South Africa were my #2 anyways so 👍

[hasty basin]

Fiji man....

I wanted them to go far

[dim ledge]

They aren't a bad team TBF, just poorly coached imo

[stuck estuary]

I feel like I should play Andersen

[hasty basin]

Missed his son's funeral for this as well...

[dim ledge]

I'd do Romero if you decide to do that. Yes Chelsea are crap but derbies are always tough + he's not typically an assist type of defender. But arguably Burnley away is tougher, you could possibly get a CS and it'd end 0-0 but if Burnley are gonna score anywhere it's gonna be @ home

Imo keep your lineup

[stuck estuary]

Yeah Chelsea showed some resistance lately, so not a really easy target

[celest zephyr]

Lol sorry about this but yet another trade

I’m not gonna defend anyone but the good news is that it’s only a one year and even with a high cap hit I could see some idiot team being all over him

Yeah SJS are marching towards that ‘historically bad’ path

[celest zephyr]

Bruh I want a coach like lav that’s all I’m going to say man

Just a coach that’s defensively and offensively sound and holds his team and the rest of the league accountable

I want a guy who’d rip the league a new one after seeing the shit with Lili

As much as dubas got a lot of slack at least dude usually made logical moves

I cant fucking tell half of the time if trevling is high on weed or actually considered his moves

[robust grotto]

Tired of the Reavo experience yet?

Dude Domi and Bertuzzi too like how are you guys as toothless as you’re making it sound? That’s really fucked. I never felt Keefe was a problem but it’s sounding like his is one

Unfortunately Treliving has only been there for 3 minutes so there’s more to come

[celest zephyr]

At least reaves isn’t soft

And idk actually wants to fight guys

The rest of the team is pathetic

And keefe is ultra soft

Keefe has never been an answer

[robust grotto]

I always felt he was useless with us

[celest zephyr]

He’s just inoffensive like Trudeau

[robust grotto]

But I’m happy he found a home in Toronto

[celest zephyr]

He’s useless in everything besides being not soft

But considering how fucking soft this team is that’s somehow an improvement

[robust grotto]

Lmao for most teams that’s prob a bad thing but for leafs that’s good

[celest zephyr]

Just sucks that he hasn’t seemingly gotten through to the rest of the team

Still biteless dogs

[robust grotto]

Not hearing about Bert or Domi is shocking though

That’s what they are perfect at

[celest zephyr]

Dude is an anchor

well sorta, I guess 30 years olds can be in it bc it’s a pro league after all but it’s mainly like 19 year olds is what I’m trying to say

[dim kettle]

Not like the T-Wolves or Wild have shown much.

[celest zephyr]

that's like other feeder leagues though lol

Like the ahl has a lot of prospects going up through the ranks

idk it just feels odd considering maybe it's me but i've never heard of a homegrown star coming out of mls

[robust grotto]

Jozy Altidore is probably the most well known one

[rustic ore]

It’s gonna take years upon years for the US to catch up anywhere near to the rest of the world in terms of soccer popularity, and even then it’ll likely ever get close because of how culturally significant the sport is outside of the US

[rustic mountain]

US soccer probably won't ever be like global soccer

Hell Canadian soccer won't be either

[celest zephyr]

Canadian soccer ain’t even close

Us soccer is better

Besides Mexico, North American soccer just isn't really like global soccer

Didnt he win MVP on his 1st season lmao

Currently, the eligibility requirements are that a player cannot have played more than 25 regular season games in any single preceding season, nor in six or more games in each of any two preceding regular seasons, in any major professional league. The last requirement was implemented in 1979 to block Wayne Gretzky (who had played a single season in the World Hockey Association the year before) from winning the award.
