Also. I had this funny conversation about this in the Flames Discord. The Panthers play in Sunrise. Most people portray the Panthers as Miam's team. But they're closer to Fort Lauderdale than Miami
desert palm
That’s in the Miami “metro” area
short flame
Yay we’re still first
desert palm
Same thing with people in Boca
Their fans of Miami teams because they’re in the Miami “metro” area
dim kettle
Just a funny thing though.

Fort Lauderdale is a city?

Yeah.
proud coyote
the people of miami rep the SAN JOSE SHARKS
desert palm
Fort Lauderdale is a city?
Yeah what did you think? An actual fort?
short flame
I thought it was just an airport
desert palm
There was no good flights in the Miami airport?

Fort Lauderdale panthers would be cool

Well, we can always do this again next year I suppose. 2 more games, hopefully we get at least one back in Alberta
dim kettle
I wish I could say much about the Rays. But. The team is just not serious. You can't tell me they are when the Rays waive one of their better bats but Alex Jackson get's all the chances in the world to strike out.
desert palm
When I went to Boca, it was between that airport and West Palm Beach Palm airport, I picked Palm Beach because it seemed nicer
proud coyote
that jeremy pena kid is handsome
rustic mountain
The Jays are ass and that's what it is
Sports gods are mean rn, but what do you do?
proud coyote
oh he's 26 lol
dim kettle
I'm at the point of my fandom where I don't even care about 2025. When are the Rays ever gonna be in win-now mode? They're always focusing on the prospects.
desert palm
I’m gonna find your 8-1 reaction
proud coyote
tbf to the rays, this is a good year to sag a bit and let prospects develop
the division is rough
rustic mountain
and here is where I would develop our prospects IF THE JAYS HAD ANY
dim kettle
It's hard to say when you consider the O's will be good for a long time, the Yanks will always be there and you never know about the Red Sox.
rustic mountain
I really hope we continue to tank though and fire Shatkins and Schneider, move Bo and Vlad and start over
proud coyote
right but if your farm just isn't there no matter what, it's better to wait to go all in until they are when the rest of the division is so dangerous
dim kettle
Like at some point, you have to look at how the Rays do things and wonder if they'll ever win a title. That's the big question. Not about just winning, but actually doing everything you can to win a title.
Stu makes things complicated. But the Rays have had so many top prospects just fade away in recent times.
proud coyote
do you not count 2020?
dim kettle
2 wins in the WS. That's the peak it seems
proud coyote
the years forming the sandwich around it were good too, even if the playoff results weren't there
desert palm
I’m gonna find your 8-1 reaction
I have found it and it was funny
You seemed so confident initially
dim kettle
And most of the scoring was off Randy's bat.
proud coyote
robby ray is rehabbing right now for the giants, playing in the ACL
which is like, below single A
obviously has done well, but just imagine being a guy down there lol
facing someone like Ray
it'd be like if they ran F1 cars in F3 for a third of the race
dim kettle
Also, Seattle. What are you doing?
desert palm
Losing to the “Brown” Sox is kinda sad
dim kettle
Right after recently blowing that big lead against KC.
proud coyote
they're doing what seattle does
desert palm
Right after recently blowing that big lead against KC.
Well that is nothing new
proud coyote
has julio been any better?
stats say no but I dunno about the last however long
he's had a rough year
desert palm
Last year was oddly similar for Julio
Maybe he will have an insane August and September again
proud coyote
yeah, I recall
had to double check to make sure I wasn't talking about last year lol
desert palm
This year has been a very odd year for superstars last season
dim kettle
Same for prospects coming up.
Hoilday get's all the hype and then get's sent back down not much later.
dim kettle
Not being injured helps.
desert palm
Same for prospects coming up.
Paul Skenes has been living up to the Hype At least
desert palm
Not being injured helps.
Thanks for not signing him btw

Thanks for not signing him btw
The Sox. That's it. That's the joke.
The power of friendship will save us or something like that.

@dim kettle wow @austere lava wow
dim ledge
@proud coyote ready for Steeler Nation to make a post about why Aiyuk is joining even after this lol
dim ledge
evidently a new page idk
BUT
his agent did confirm that he said this
so thats something
proud coyote
yup
dim ledge
pretty happy i nailed that lol
proud coyote
we'll just have to see
dim ledge
i can see it going up to 28m
dim kettle
Lots of decisions for SF.
proud coyote
I could see us ending at 30, unironically
dim ledge
i hope not but even if that happens i dont think it'll really be that bad
considering that we're letting deebo go and we'll prob see some folks hanging it up + new cap increase etc
dont think whatever contract he does get impedes the signing of purdy
proud coyote
yeah, and aiyuk + agent know this
so they're gonna hold pat
definitely not
it'll get in the way of someone else
like greenlaw
dim kettle
This is why you need to win titles when they count. The cap is not a friendly beast. Purdy gonna want a nice contract too in the near future.
proud coyote
do you think hes worth amon ra money?
yes
and I think him being on the team right now, if he physically won't budge from 30, is worth amon ra money
he's quite a good receiver
desert palm
Btw speaking of San Francisco
proud coyote
This is why you need to win titles when they count. The cap is not a friendly be...
it's honestly irrelevant here, title or not we'd have to pay him
it matters for us fans or whatever
desert palm
Btw speaking of San Francisco
Astros and Giants game going to extra innings in Oracle park
proud coyote
but the situation is such. if anything it's more of a justification to pay him now for the next two years
even if the ramifications are what they are
that's basically our window. after two more years we'll be on the razor margin
dim kettle
it's honestly irrelevant here, title or not we'd have to pay him
Yeah. Saying you gonna have to make some sacrifices to get people like him signed.
proud coyote
of having to get max value from picks and signings
dim ledge
i mean the sacrifice was already known lol
we arent keeping deebo
that much is obvious
dim kettle
Nature of the game.
proud coyote
we'll see if we can become perennial or whatever. we've been lucky so far
dim kettle
Those Bills are facing that reality now.
dim ledge
i mean
the contract situations there are obviously entirely different
i dont think purdy gets josh allen bread lol
proud coyote
he'll get that much
he's going to be good this year
I see him improving
and even if he stays the same, that's just how you have to pay young QBs
proud coyote
it's more a matter of like... the bills just having trounced their last few drafts
dim ledge
yeah they do have a habit of shooting themselves in the footr
dim kettle
He has a noodle arm. But he's very good at throwing on the move. Good field vision, etc.
proud coyote
I honestly wouldn't be that hyperbolic anymore
his arm strength and touch has improved
dim ledge
had quite a few downfield bombs this past season
proud coyote
his deep passing has been his strength
dim ledge
yep
proud coyote
in the context of this offense, it opens it
wow this is sad
I'd say kincaid was alright and promising, cook is good, shakir looked pretty alright, and rosseau is great
dim ledge
what is that, a 30% hit rate?
proud coyote
spencer brown is okay, torrence was a starter I guess even if poor
like 20% lol
our 2022 draft sans our last pick lol might come back to bite us a bit.
burford was promising at first but looked poor last year
kalia davis is decent depth
the rest did not pan out
21 being as strong as it was is our saving grace
dim ledge
dont think drake jackson can shape up?
proud coyote
he's not being given the opportunity at this point with our singings
it's a long shot
dim ledge
yknow
theres a conversation i had with someone about Liverpool a while ago where i said like
even if our signings dont pan out in terms of team contribution, we can still sell them for a profit
i think we can get some trade value out of these guys at least?
the Trey Lance situation still puzzles me lol
proud coyote
nfl draft picks are sadly worthless
dim kettle
I think one thing about Purdy that doesn't get talked about enough is he doesn't fuck up a bunch. He isn't gonna screw the team with bad decisions in big moments.
proud coyote
which was like, his biggest knock out of college
or one of them
people thought he played hero ball way too much
dim ledge
mistake prone?
proud coyote
so it's pretty incredible to see how measured he's been under pressure
yeah, he would do some crazy shit to force plays lol
lmao
dim ledge
yeesh
dim kettle
If Jameis had a sliver of development Purdy had with Hero ball, he'd be a top 10 QB rn.
I hate that fact.
proud coyote
that int to hit 30/30 was a thing of beauty
dim kettle
For anyone not a fan of the red and pewter.
I still remember that London game against the Panthers. "I woke up to this shit?"
dim ledge
Oh right juba, any newer thoughts on our 2023 picks

he's been on a tear

That wasn’t a gimmick
proud coyote
jordan hicks has been a pleasant surprise at least
we have two starters coming back soon, so I'm not too torn up
dim kettle
They took things from moneyball. But Moneyball itself was a gimmick as in, we don't have money to spend on actual high end talent.
rustic mountain
You can be too analytical. Ask the Jays when we pulled Berrios last year against the Twins
desert palm
reliever to start conversions are one of my favorite things
Smlotz went the other way

i just realized you guys are still in the wild card wtf
proud coyote
the NL is a mess
austere lava
the nl is awful this year
desert palm
They took things from moneyball. But Moneyball itself was a gimmick as in, we do...
That was because high end talent was overlooked because of people looking at baseline stats
austere lava
i really wanted the diamondbacks to be good this season
proud coyote
it's more just like, a bunch of teams that are around as good as eachother
and worse than the top dogs
so you see a bunch of near .500s
desert palm
But now because of advance analytics and sabermetrics it is much more difficult to identify cheap high end talent
Unless it’s controllable years of players
dim kettle
You have to have a hybrid of it ideally to get the best resutls. Oakland could win 20 in a row and it means shit when it doesn't produce in October.
desert palm
so you see a bunch of near .500s
Literally four teams above 500
One team that just got at 500 today few minutes ago
Everyone else is below slightly
Except the Rockies and Marlins, who are significantly below
austere lava
rockies need to get it together in time for rocktober
desert palm
rockies need to get it together in time for rocktober
That fad is soooooooo 2007 lol

The Rockies being .500 is their WS.

I would add the mets to significantly below soon
Technically speaking, they’re still in the playoff hunt
dim ledge
i mean the mets will get senga back after the all star break
for whatever thats worth lol
dim kettle
The Mets even spoke it themselves, they're looking toward 2025
proud coyote
a win every 5 days aint enough to save them

The NL Chaos League

it'll be interesting to see how it pans out

So
Number 1 seed in the west, a top goalie in hockey, deepest team besides maybe only Florida

If Bob wasn't on, I genuinely think we'd be up 2-0 or at least 1-1

But that's also a big part of Florida's dominance, Bob is impressive
Tbh this series has made respect the Panthers
I even like one of their players Barkov is nuts
I still hate Tkachuk, but I don't really hate the rest of the Panthers. Idk why
Still really want the cup, but it won't be the end of hockey if the Panthers win. Canada's drought will continue but a lot of Vancouver and Toronto fans showed me that I'd rather it be won by Edmonton first and foremost

@dim kettle Been watching some Mark Schiefele highlights, think the Jets can be something good again this coming year?
dim kettle
The Jets are due for regression. Period.
And it's such bad time too considering the empty seats Winnipeg has been experiencing.
dim kettle
Unfortunately, they still have that Thrashers odor to them
rustic mountain
It's sad because Winnipeg is like. There are extremely dedicated fans to that team
I know quite a few
And they love their small market team
Honest question: you think the Jets ever move?
This looks promising
dim kettle
It's scary because they've been good enough and people aren't coming to the games. Especially when cities like Houston want a hockey club.
rustic mountain
I'd think expansion first before moving
Idk from the article it seems the Jets are unlikely to move again
dim kettle
Also just the reality of where they play rn. It only seats 15k people if I'm correct.
rustic mountain
Yeah that's what I read too
Looks like True North is loaded though
Just in case I better get me a Schiefele or Hellebuyck

They have to figure out attendance though. Or else they're moving to Arizona again
rustic mountain
Idk I doubt it

rustic mountain
At the very least I don't see it happening anytime soon
It's not like Arizona where it was well known shit was rocky

I've always heard that Winnipeg had a passionate fanbase like the Packers in GB. The difference is they're 9 home games in the NFL. More urgency to go to games.

Well Winnipeg is tiny compared to the other cities
So if not everyone in the city is onboard
And if your roads are closed to neighboring Saskatchewan because it's fucking -50 and no one can drive in the middle of December
dim kettle
It's kinda like an AEW. You can push for passionate fans. But it's the reality of business. You want to target the casual because that's where all the money comes from.
rustic mountain
At the very least
I don't see Winnipeg moving in the next 5 years

Doesn't make sense, why do Juve want to offload Chiesa for a rapist
We want to get rid of Chiesa because after he torn his ACL he was never the same, he's kinda injury prone and he has one year left on his contract and Motta doesn't think he'd suit his style
I'm fine with selling him but fuck Greenwood

I hope it goes through even tho McKennie was our second best midfielder this season
No one expected him to stay, let alone perform that well
But at the same time Luiz has a very high price tag
Maybe we could include Illing Jr in the deal to lower it even more

I'm suprised Villa agreed to this lol
I heard Emery likes Mckennie and thinks Illibg is a hot prospect
Villa were rejecteing 50 mil bids for Luiz 2 years ago which is like???

I don't know much about Luiz to be fair but I heard great things about him
If we could get both him and Koopmeiners while still renewing Rabiot's contract I'd be over the moon
