NFL Running Back situation- We have negotiated a CBA,that took years of effort and hard work and compromise in good faith by both sides..to say now that a specific Player category wants another negotiation after the fact,is inappropriate. Some Agents are selling ‘bad faith’..

A way too early look at cap space in 2024 for the top 5 teams in cap space and the bottom 5 for cap space

#

Top 5:

Bears - $81.4 million under cap
Texans - $80.45 million under cap
Pats - $80.23 million under cap
Titans - $77.4 million under cap
Commies - $63.44 million under cap

#

Bottom 5:

Bills - $-41.63 million over cap
Dolphins - $-47.81 million over cap
Chargers - $-64.30 million over cap
Saints - $-78.40 million over cap
Browns - $-83.39 million over cap

#

In 2014, Daniel Bard pitched in the minor leagues and his stat line is one of the wildest I’ve seen

#

So I checked a few different sources just to be sure my eyes were working properly but in 2014, he pitched 0.2 innings in 4 games. Gave up zero hits with 9 walks and 7 HBP to the tune of 13 earned runs. Like how in the world does that happen? Is this a common occurrence in minor ball?

#

The remaining schedule for the Angels, who currently sit at 52-49, 4 games back of the last wild card spot and 7 games back of the division leading Rangers

"I told him, when they hit the home run, said we're gonna win this game. He said "Nah, it's just like when you were in Oakland."

If ever there were any question whether Shohei Ohtani is going to be a Los Angeles Angel for the remainder of the 2023 season, this unequivocally puts it to rest. The Angels are going for it, and in Quero and Bush, the White Sox got two excellent prospects for two rental players.

#

Luis Matos, Marco Luciano, Patrick Bailey, and Casey Schmitt were all in the Opening Day lineup for the Eugene Emeralds, San Francisco's High-A affiliate.

#

Fast forward a year and three months, and they have all made the jump three levels up to the MLB. That prospect pipeline is feeding the Giants well.

Marcus Stroman has not been just bad recently. He’s been flat out awful.

Today he went 3.1 innings of 7 run ball. The last start he collected 3.2 innings with 7 hits, 4 runs and 4 walks.

#

His last 7 starts have been awful: 6.35 ERA, avg. 4.2 innings / start, 1.65 (!!!) WHIP. His ERA this year is higher than it was last year.

#

Astonishingly, his ERA on the season is still only 3.51.

Got blown up tonight for 5 ER in 1.1 IP at AAA, three of those scored after he departed after loading the bases.

Stuff is real, but control is predictably bad. Phillies have to add him to the active roster tomorrow, or trade him, or offer him back to the Sox for 50k.

It sounds like the Bengals avoided a nightmare scenario.

Aaron Rodgers in 2020 and 2021 was a top 3 QB at minimum. He had the highest passer rating, 85 TDs to 9 INTs and won 81% of his games. In 2022, he took a step back. Where do you rank Rodgers currently in the AFC?

#

Its tough for me because the top 3 considered guys like Josh Allen and Joe Burrow have only been better than Rodgers for 1 season in 2022. Before that Rodgers was way better and up there with Mahomes for production.

So if Rodgers gets up to his 2020-2021 level he is top 2 QB imo. But i know he is older but i still say top 5

If Ohtani hadn't pitched a single inning this year and was simply a DH he would still be the MLB leader in fWAR at this moment. Acuña is also at 5.1 when you round to tenths of a win, but is fractionally behind Ohtani. Zach Wheeler leads all pitchers with 4.0 fWAR.

With their 10-3 win over the Cardinals (6 straight wins), the Cubs now have a 51-51 record. On June 8, the Cubs fell to 26-36, making them 10 games under .500. Per the Chicago Tribune, only two other times in franchise history have the Cubs returned to .500 from 10 games under. Once in 1968 and once in 1996. Both of these teams fell 10 games under before returning to a .500 record of.... 51-51, the same record as these Cubs.

Lineup Talk - Springer to the Bottom

#

How bad has Springer been in his last 9 games?

3 hits, 6 walks, 1 HBP for a .086 BA and a .238 OBP

Those 3 hits were singles, and he has 4 GIDP

All this for a -1.140 WPA in just 9 games.

Why's he at the top? So he can catch Ricky Henderson's leadoff HR record?

If the argument is HR, and we acknowledge I'm working with a small sample size, then wouldn't HR be more valuable in a #3-#5 batting slot?

I want a leadoff hitter with speed, high on-base % and takes a lot of pitches so when Bo's on-deck, he gets a nice long look at how the ball's traveling out of the pitcher's hand that day. Either one of KK, or WM ticks all those boxes when compared to this season's George Springer.

I'm not saying bench him. I get it, he's streaky. Move him down.

#

While 9 games is such a small sample size I totally agree with moving him out of that spot. He has been absolutely horrendous this season with risp and with guys like KK and Merrifield getting on base at a high rate it's become a real issue with George leaving runners stranded . So far this season he has one extra base hit with risp that's right one . He is slg a pathetic .250 in those situations with a wrc plus of 70. He has become a rally killer and if this team is serious about making a deep run he needs to be moved down in the lineup .

#

Mid-season stud appreciation

#

If ever there were any question whether Shohei Ohtani is going to be a Los Angeles Angel for the remainder of the 2023 season, this unequivocally puts it to rest. The Angels are going for it, and in Quero and Bush, the White Sox got two excellent prospects for two rental players.

Coming off of consecutive seasons of 24 and 23 errors, he is on pace to commit only 12 this season. While not being the flashiest SS out there, he has truly cleaned up his position.

On the position player side, Jordan Luplow’s grasp on a roster spot might be considered weakest, but Santiago Espinal’s name could also surface in trade talks as the Blue Jays seek upgrades.

Cook was on NFL Network Friday morning and said the Jets are “right at the top of the list” of teams he’d like to play for in 2023. Cook added that the “possibility is high” that the visit could result in a contract with the team.

Cook cited the presence of Aaron Rodgers as a big reason for his interest in the Jets and that he feels the team could have “something special” this year because of the quarterback’s arrival.

Robert Saleh on Aaron Rodgers taking a pay cut: "I think it says a lot when the best player on your football team -- a Hall of Famer -- is willing to sacrifice something because he wants to win, which is ultimately what we're all here to do. This was Aaron. Aaron wanted to do this."

By now, football fans have heard or seen the angry opinions of NFL running backs who believe the league’s cost structure is working against them. Third-year Pittsburgh Steeler Najee Harris is one of those grumbling. The franchise has to determine if they are going to keep Harris through his fifth-year

Hunter Renfrow said he felt like he let a lot of his teammates down last year: “That’s something that left a bad taste in my mouth and something that I want to get over and prove to them that I’m a guy that they can count on and just go and be consistent.”

#

Kirk Cousins explains to Dan Patrick that he agreed to do the Quarterback series in part because he had final say over all content regarding him: “I’ve been burned a lot in the past when people have access and then take it a direction you didn’t think was happening.”

#

Possibly the most impressive Patrick Mahomes stat nobody talks about

#

In games where the opposing team scores 28 or more points, Patrick Mahomes is 17-13 all time. Here’s how he stacks up against other QB’s (excluding those from the Dead Ball era):

#

Mahomes: 17-13 (.567)

Brady: 29-51 (.362)

Montana: 9-16 (.360)

Manning: 21-50 (.295)

Drew Brees: 28-69 (.288)

Russell Wilson: 12-31 (.279)

Rodgers: 18-47-1 (.272)

Elway: 11-38 (.224)

Marino: 14-54 (.205)

Favre: 13-53 (.196)

Ben Roethlisberger: 9-38 (.191)

Matthew Stafford: 10-51 (.163)

#

Brady and Montana are in their own league of pulling through when opponents bring their A game, but Mahomes is even well above that. He’s the only QB of the bunch to have a record above .500 when their opponent scores 28 or more points.

#

I have also added the numbers of some of his more recent contemporaries since a few people have stated it’s an era where offenses score more often. Let me know if there’s anyone else you’d like me to add:

Josh Allen: 5-10 (.333)

Dak Prescott: 9-18 (.333)

Tua: 3-6 (.333)

Lamar Jackson: 4-10 (.285)

Carr (this poor bastard): 15-44 (.254)

Justin Herbert: 5-16 (.238)

Joe Burrow: 2-8 (.200)
