Also the Astros no hit the Yankees. Holy shit

idk how to feel about this

i absolutely hate the astros

#

but yanks been on too much recently

dim kettle
#

The fact that a team no hit the Yanks who usually could hit doubles in their sleep this season just amazes the fuck out of me.

#

Also against the Astros, is probably triggering a lot of Yank fans rn. My older brother (whose a Yanks fan) hates Altuve to no end.

honest umbra

It's the fucking Yanks this season, man. Literal cheat codes being used by them.

I'll just be waiting for a 2001 Mariners like collapse in the playoffs after winning 115 games or something

but thats the mariners

Just like these are the modern Yankees. Have nothing to show that they can be clutch in the playoffs.

That's for them to prove and me to watch.

forgot if players doing this counts as tampering

Sitting on a Chapman’s breaking ball was insane

I'll always say this about him. He nearly blew the WS for the Cubs. IDK how nobody doesn't expect Chapman to not shit the bed in big spots.

Even when Chapman is on

And looking like the best closer in the game

He always made me so nervous

In the Rays fandom he's known for almost throwing a 100 MPH fastball at Mike Brosseau's head and getting karma in the playoffs.

I still think the punishment for intentionally throwing at batters should be way way more severe

#

Like throwing at Tim Anderson for pimping a HR gotta be the dumbest shit

The unwritten rules BS needs to go away real badly.

Carlos Gomez got in trouble for that

If you had to guess

What do you think Judge’s contract is going to be

Especially if he keeps this season up

dim kettle
#

Mike Trout Money.

Maybe even more.

chilly flare
#

I’m not a big fan of contracts longer than 6-7 years

dim kettle
#

I don't think he'll fall off bad. Unless the injury bug returns for him.

honest umbra

#

judge doesnt seem like a player

chilly flare
#

Like I would be more in favor of a contract like 5 years 215mill

honest umbra
#

who would drop off bad

chilly flare
#

Than a 10 year deal

dim kettle
#

Then again, I don't know what it's like to be a fan of a big market team. Probably could get away with a long contract. Not like Judge is Bobby Bonilla.

honest umbra

lets do 12 years 530 mill

u think he would be good for the giants?

The Red Sox not paying Mookie was so dumb

Judge to the White Sox- Oh, wait, Jerry Reinsdorf's the owner. Nevermind. BepoSad

How do you feel about Tony La Russa

Fuck him.

Him constantly not having his players back

But you know, I hate Jerry Reinsdorf even more, because he's the jackass that forced hired him going over his GM's power.

dim kettle
chilly flare
#

The Owners need to stay out of decisions

#

Jerry Jones

#

Yea he seems pretty outdated

#

How big of a baseball analytics guy are you?

dim kettle
#

What get's me is Reinsdorf keeps believing his team is a small market one when he plays in the 3rd largest market in the country. You wonder why Manny Machado
and Harper didn't come to Chicago a few years ago. Jerry.

chilly flare
#

He really thinks they play in Milwaukee lmao

robust grotto
#

64 years ?!?!

#

That’s ridiculous

dim kettle

He does it with the Bulls too. MJ made all this money and Jerry says "Well, I ended up paying MJ 30 million dollars" When the dude brought you 100 of millions of dollars in return you cheap ass.

#

Is it crazy paying one guy 30 plus mill in the nba? Yes but that guy generates so much more money than that

#

Especially if the team has success

#

The other issue is with the nba as it is now. There’s basically nothing, besides possibly some exceptions and paying less tax if a team is over the soft cap, to gain from straight up losing a good player drafted by the team or having some sort of rights to that player that would give them an advantage

#

This assumes that the player can’t be signed out right or doesn’t want to to go to a team that can

#

nba would compete with nfl less for a longer stretch but they make their money regardless

chilly flare
#

I think total viewership would go up with less competition now

#

And with higher TV ratings on their games

#

The TV rights deal could be better

#

And in turn the players could get more money

honest umbra
#

nfl streams at most 3 times per week

#

theres nba games almost daily

#

maybe around playoff time-sb (but that would be impacted anyways) you can see more of a difference

Very very very strong opinions on this

Or because they are a Florida hockey team

Or a combination of both?

I really think the people who cry about sun belt locations having teams is a suuuuper small minority. I’ll never understand the hate that Arizona or Tampa has a team. Makes no sense to me

ALL RISE

Apparently it needs to be -20 during your winter for your hockey team to count

Imo people dislike TB bc of the winning and bc of the whole cap thing. Had Kucherov come back from injury right in time for game 1 of the playoffs

#

yeah it’s silly. ARIZONA HAS A HOCKEY TEAM?!?! DOESNT THAT MAKE YOU MAD ?! no lmao I think it rules

I hate how they operate and how they’re run but them having a team is good

chilly flare
#

Holy hell is this impressive

chilly flare
robust grotto
#

That’s really cool

dim kettle
# chilly flare Or a combination of both?

Pretty much that. Bolts found a loophole in the cap last year and players like Kuch embracing that hate; portraying himself as the heel. But it goes right back to being a southern team that has done much more than any Canadian team has done in 25+ years. When a team like Toronto or Chicago goes over the cap in the playoffs, the hockey world is okay with it, but when a team like Tampa does it, it's like the equivalent of Luffy punching a Celestial Dragon.

chilly flare
#

Ah I see

#

Well I suspect TB will be back and yall can continue to stick it to those hating

dim kettle
#

Let's put it this way. the NHL still promotes the OG 6 teams like it still has pride and prestige when it's been over 50 years since the first big expansion. Hockey is stuck in the past and very stubborn to change.

That too yeah. There’s a few guys who have been marinating w the Marlies for a bit now

Yeah, Toronto still has a pretty good farm system in place. It isn't like the Pens or Isles where they're fucked for the short term future.

#

I'm telling you, the Pens are becoming the new Red Wings that bragged about a playoff streak.

robust grotto

I hope so. Death of the pens… please

It’s gonna be fun to follow the offseason. I’m so excited. 10 days till draft

They don’t really have much going on for them… I don’t believe PLD wants to be a Jet long term. I can see him being traded. Morrissey and Pionk are cool but they don’t have a beast on the blue line. Kyle Connor and Hellebuyck are really the only pieces of worth

Yeah, they really still feel like they haven't left Atlanta. Same feelings about them. They're just there. Might make noise here and there, but they'll find a way to be invisible compared to everyone else,

I like the Jets logo

Jets are basically the Colorado Rockies of hockey. Will make noise time to time only to fall back in the background.

robust grotto
#

Sunny the only thing I would recommend is picking a team that fits your time zone

#

Just so it’s easier to watch

dim kettle
#

Yes. watching hockey games begin at 10:30 most nights isn't a good time.

chilly flare
#

I’m CST

#

So the Jets and Wild would fit that description

#

I’ll probably get a better idea once I sit down and watch a lot of hockey

dim kettle
#

Indeed.

#

Honestly can't relate much about picking a team at an older age. Pretty much became a Bolts fan at 4-5 years old because there were the only team I could watch. Completely different time back then in 03 compared to now where you can buy ESPN+ and watch all the teams.

chilly flare
#

One of my friends has ESPN+ and he constantly talks about how buggy it is

#

So I probably won’t subscribe

I had it for the hockey season. I thought it was pretty good. No problem on my end.

Another reminder to laugh at the Flyers for picking Nolan Patrick over Makar in hindsight lol

robust grotto
dim kettle
#

Nico Hischier still has a lot of potential though. But the Flyers though, it's a big reason why they've been shit.

#

Drafts like that.

robust grotto
#

I don’t disagree

dim kettle
#

It's just funny that you have 3 allstars in the top 4 and then you have Nolan Patrick.

#

It's like the 2003 NBA Draft where you have players like LeBron James, Camelo, Bosh, Wade and then Darko Miličić.

robust grotto
#

I had bad feelings about him leading up to that draft, ofc never could’ve imagined THIS

#

but the same way about Patrick I have a weird feeling about Shane Wright idk why

dim kettle
#

Draft itself isn't as strong as the last few, so the Habs may get a pass if it doesn't work out.

robust grotto
#

I wish I knew more

#

I think people feel that way bc there’s more Europeans at the top than usual

#

Not having world juniors tournament kinda killed my knowledge for a lot of the guys

dim kettle
#

I only know little about these guys too. I'm little aware of Juraj Slafkovský. He needs to develop more aggression in his game.

robust grotto
#

That and his shot can be even stronger too. He’s the perfect fit for the devils and I hate it so much

dim kettle
#

Nico Hischier and Slafkovský coming at you. Oh, man

robust grotto
#

They desperately needed a winger with power so it’s the easiest pick in the draft, assuming Gorton doesn’t take him. Which I’m telling you rn.. it’s highly possible. When Gorton was w NYR, we drafted player from TPS practically every year.. he has big connections to that club and Slafko is someone he’s watched for a while, I assure you. Logan Cooley is really good prospect too, Coyotes should be running to the stage to pick him IMO

dim kettle
#

The Yotes need anyone at this point.

robust grotto
#

Which means they’ll trade the pick for the contact of Carey price

Oh god no! Not Price.
