Which only makes the regular season even more pointless to watch

#

don’t find this one as bad as others. this guy is a bruins lifer, he’s not even 60, was the GM for their cup run

#

it’s not Paul Maurice to the Cats level bad

#

Remember when you could have things like "real" rivalries, matchups, storylines in the regular season in the NBA? It's been a very long time for that kind of stuff.

I’m really upset for Mogilny. I’m just not sure he’s ever going to get in at this point

There being a time limit for the MLB HOF is a bad joke

What isn't a joke about the MLB these days?

#

Everything is done backwards in that league.

honest umbra
#

did u see the angels-mariners fight yesterday?

dim kettle
#

Yeah, insane.

honest umbra
#

angels threw at mariners all szn

#

they threw one ball close to trout

#

and angels get butthurt

#

im a trout fan too but that was wack

dim kettle
#

Wouldn't expect less from Anaheim and that joke of a franchise

chilly flare
#

Gotta have harsh penalties for throwing intentional man

honest umbra
#

8 ppl got suspended

#

and rendon/crawford were throwing haymakers

#

so i expect game suspensions

dim kettle
#

But that would imply that the MLB wants to actually to do anything that isn't stupid gimmicks.

honest umbra
#

i was thinking about it, players get paid on day salaries right?

#

so for someone like rendon to miss like 8 games even if hes injured

#

is hella money

#

i mean for us, like its somewhere in the few millions

#

lol

chilly flare
#

Intentionally throwing at players needs to be at least 10 game suspension

honest umbra
#

if ur getting paid to literally not play (aka if ur injured)

#

and u decide to get suspended

#

u literally go with ur life "i can lose out on 3 mill"

dim kettle
#

If MLB wants to make a statements to get rid of these stupid unwritten rules, they need to give suspensions more than a mere 4-8 games.

honest umbra
#

yea

#

that wont happen

#

only drugs or domestic violence

#

but even domestic violence with mlb has a shoddy record

#

so only actually drugs

chilly flare
#

Purposely throwing at someone’s head should be 15 game suspension

#

Or more

honest umbra
#

it'll come down to

#

"prove it"

dim kettle
#

I still haven't gotten over what happened in Acuña Jr's rookie year and Jose Urena throwing a 97 mph fastball at him because he was doing too good for the unwritten rules.

honest umbra
#

but tbf yesterdays was really easy to prove, angels didnt even try to hide it. they used an "opener" pitcher aka someone who usually doesnt pitch for long and he threw at him on the first pitch

#

💀

#

like u coulda waited at least till the 3-4 pitch?

#

and how as a manager and a human do u decide im gonna go into todays game looking to hurt someone

chilly flare
#

If there is history between the teams it should be automatic idc

honest umbra
#

phil nevin is a clown

#

theyre divisional rivals and the other team (far more unintentionally) almost hit the best players in the sports head the day prior

chilly flare
#

It’s really crazy that you’re allowed to throw 90+ at people with little to no repercussions

honest umbra
#

but also theres been weeks of contention

#

so theres def history

#

mlb knew about this

#

my fav part is that the ump who had to deal with yesterday was a vacation ump, called up from minor league becuz the other ump was on vacay

chilly flare
#

Especially if the miss with one pitch and then hit them the second time

#

Like please get that shit out of the game

honest umbra
#

if that happens, they usually throw them out

#

but yea i think people underestimate how hard 90+ is

chilly flare
#

That’s not enough

honest umbra
#

i wouldnt even wanna get hit by 60

chilly flare
#

Punish the player or the team

#

Missing a few games, especially as a relief pitcher is nothing

honest umbra
#

it just sucks because some players dont do it on purpose, harper (who was so elite this year) broke his thumb on a pitch inside and up and the padres reliver def didnt mean it. they had a good to heart to heart after the fact

#

but a day later, trout was thrown at and it was looked at in a diff light

#

so just comes down to context

dim kettle
#

I don't think the MLB understands the magnitude of the weight of the situation when a player get's hit. Because if you throw that 97 mph ball at someone an amount of things could happen. A player could be out for the rest of the season or even worse if it hit the right spot.

chilly flare
#

I feel like it is usually pretty obvious when it’s intentional

#

Friday a player slides in hard to second base and there is some jawing back and forth

#

And Saturday they get hit

dim kettle
#

I don't understand how the MLB just let's stuff like this slide with small punishment when it's basically the baseball version of head and knee hunting in the NFL.

honest umbra
#

because theres much more of an open discussion

#

about whether it was intentional or not

#

whereas in other sports including NFL, the play has to come to you for it to arrive to that point

#

in MLB if ur the pitcher, ur guaranteed a shot at a batter

dim kettle
#

Because when it's intentional, it's very intentional.

#

The league knows of these unwritten rules and revenge stories from teams. They should know better.

chilly flare
#

When there is known beef between the teams it just has to be automatic

honest umbra
chilly flare
#

That locker room would be crazy

#

Like shadow

#

When the yanks and Rays had their prolonged beef last year (or maybe 2 years ago)

dim kettle
#

Remember how long it took for there to be rule about running into the catcher? It took Buster Posey breaking his leg for the MLB to finally do something about it.

chilly flare
#

You could clearly see what was intentional

honest umbra
#

can we agree even kyrie is not dumb enough to leave 30 mill on the table

#

to sign a MLE

#

And if kyrie does sign the Mle it would be better to just send westbrook home lol

honest umbra
#

how do u trade westbrook

#

some other team has to accept him

silk notch
#

Literally no other team wants kyrie they dont want to extend him

#

Kyrie and the nets relationship is probably so ass they probably just have to trade him at this point

versed forge
#

They moving Westbrook 100% if kyrie goes to the lakers

#

I heard they don’t get along well from what I’ve heard

honest umbra
#

who westbrook does get along with

robust grotto
chilly flare
#

Hockey players are a different kind of tough

robust grotto
#

I will say though, just from personal experience, foot / ankle injuries are the one part of the body that you can kinda get away with more so than the others bc of the skate itself. Like the skate really helps support the foot anyway so while it’s a bitch to put on.. usually you can fight the pain for a while

robust grotto
chilly flare
#

I remember a couple years back

#

There was a player who had a heart attack on the bench and still wanted to go back in the game afterwards

#

Like what

#

Sir please take some time off BuggyMonkaS

#

dude yeah that was Jay Bouwmeester and that was his last game, he retired after

honest umbra

id retire after that too

50m or 60m, wouldn't pay it

makes no sense

like hes def elite

but def not 50-60 mill

#

im hesitant about 40 lol

smoky fable
#

Wow

#

Is it his age

honest umbra
#

yes

#

if hes 25

sweet tree
#

he initially was priced around 40m but bayern kept raising the price for him, and yeah he's kinda getting there in age; turning 34 in Aug. so spending 60m on him is a bit too much since it's hard to say how many good years you'll get off him. He's a great player nonetheless, but just too pricey for someone who could walk for free next summer

honest umbra
#

i pay anything for him

#

but he aint

hes 34

with an expiring contract in a year

smoky fable
#

Better to cut your losses early rather than keeping them too long

It’s the right call. The building blocks are there so Tampa needs to keep it moving. They really have one of the best defense cores in the league. They have a top 3 goalie. Just need to keep up with forward depth

The good thing is a lot of the contracts that were signed, like Point, Vasy, Kuch. they all end in their mid 30s.

I'm indifferent about it, Marquez doesn't really have the coaching experience and really only got the job since he's quite close friends with laporta. Hoping for the best cause Barjuan was not it and it's looking like it wasn't a good decision to sack pimienta at the time.

Murray, trae, Collins, bogdanovic, hunter, Capela

Not good for Philly

I would like the Hawks chances next season against them

isn’t it better for Philly?

# honest umbra is this good?

He had 33 goals and over 85 points last season. I'd say the Kings fleeced the Wild a bit here because he was gonna be a RFA and would given the Wild at least 4 picks if someone was gonna get him.

Wonder if the Heat could sign him to a short term 1-2 year deal for some good annual number and sell him on trying to win a championship first and then go for his big payday

The worst thing is to be a mediocre team in the nba

smoky fable
#

You either tank or try to contend

celest zephyr
#

Lottery odds are very low to basically nonexistent

#

Not surprised tbh. Morey is the gm

#

Westbrook would be a fool to let go of his. No guarantee he’d get that much on a new contract

#

But hey cp3 Did and he got a bag so who knows

dim kettle
#

This is why having a lottery is pretty fucking stupid. NBA, NHL, MLB, are trying hard to stop teams from tanking but the reality is the lottery only means that teams will continue to be bad because more times than not, you put yourself in the position to only tank based on past terrible decisions.

celest zephyr
#

Or guys retiring/ getting old

#

If the raptors didn’t have the season from hell, they’d probably be tanking in a few years

smoky fable
celest zephyr
#

Oh Westbrook already opted it

dim kettle
#

The expansion teams coming to the NBA in the future are gonna be fucked because for some reason, the NBA won't give the expansion teams the top 2 picks. How is it fair for the expansion teams have to be in a lottery when they had no team to tank with?

celest zephyr
#

Yeah definitely

#

With 14% being that low, how fair is it for teams that suck either?

#

Odds only going to get worse for teams that tanked

smoky fable
dim kettle
#

Like, you can argue the NHL and MLB, it doesn't matter much because it's s crap shoot more times than not. aka, players like Makar being selected 4th. But the NBA, you get a top 3 pick or the number one pick. That can be a franchise changer that a new market can get behind. But the NBA does everything backwards in that area

celest zephyr
#

Yeah

#

Very hard to get franchise changing talent beyond the top 3, top 5

#

Depending on the draft

dim kettle
#

Just glad, the NBA didn't screw the Magic for once.

honest umbra
smoky fable
#

Next year is considered to be star studded

celest zephyr

I mean top 3 were considered quality prospects

Top 3 is top 3. I'd take that even in a weaker year

next year draft gonna be good good doe

spurs tank hard?

smoky fable

Probably

#

Doubt those picks from the Hawks will be high though

chilly flare

victor wembanyama looks like the real deal

Spurs basically for the hawks 21st pick for the next few years

Couldn’t agree more

he doesn't hate it but

he seemingly really wanted to re-sign with Atlanta

To sabotage him like this

proud coyote

either that, or the dodgers deal was more lucrative for the agent

due to the % fees

either way, it almost seems fake; is there really an agent that unprofessional?

If he told Freeman about the Braves offer he more than likely would’ve accepted it

I’d think the agent had a good idea that the Dodgers offer would be that lucrative one.

Outside of Butler (who will be 33) and Bam, you have an aging Lowry, tucker. Robinson is unplayable in the playoffs and im not sold on Herro

no guarantee tucker is on the roster lol. herro did well in his role

celest zephyr

it makes sense. with extension restrictions he'd only get 21ish mill in his first year i think

spurs could only offer him way less than what he'd get on the open market

figured

he didn't have a good playoffs

that being said the leafs really need a good defensive forward

because he's their best

#

and nylander and tavares suck on defense. tbh i'd love to trade nylander for a top 6 two way wing who's cheaper or maybe about the same on a 1-2 year deal which might be a bit older

#

plus the second line hasn't had much chemistry

#

marner-matthews-bunting and the leafs depth is enough. just need a good second line that's worthy of a playoff contender and the leafs will be back in business as long as they can field enough nhl caliber d men and passable goaltending
