I love that AA signs depth, realizes Snit will never play them, and just trades them a few months down the line. Hilarious

I think that this year had three strong arguments for Jokic, Luka and SGA. My “vote” would be Jokic but the other two arguments were very compelling.

Piazza and Rodriguez have no proof other than backne and Canseco wrote a sentence in the book. I’m shocked Ortiz got in as easy as he did. Unbelievable what the Boston media and Manfred did for him to protect the Red Sox. Poor Sosa’s name got on the same exact list and everyone pointed him as a...

And they’re paying $17M this year for him to pitch for us

You mention Kobe and LeBron in the same era and it’s insane to think do this. LeBron and Ant were drafted 17 years apart. Kobe and Giannis were drafted 17 years apart. Duncan and Jokic were drafted 17 years apart Just speaks to how absolutely insane LeBron’s longevity is.

They absolutely smashed in the regular season that year (63 wins in a pretty tough league) went 15-2 and handled LA even against Magic (before he got hurt). Had 3 top 100 players plus three great role guys (Vinnie, Laimbeer, Aguirre) and then repeated next year with 59 wins and only had one...

It doesn’t matter who coaches that team if their two best players are LeBron and AD

I love Jokic and part of that reason is he doesn’t buy into the “I got to gets mine” ******** that people think you have to have to be great. But in Game 3, it’s time for him to shoot 25-30 times

He might have been the greatest position player ever if he quit pitching at 18

If Minnesota/Boston meet in the Finals and this type of officiating keeps up, we might get some 2003-2005 Finals scores.

Nobody and I mean NOBODY loves to kill a run with an ill timed 3 or uncontrolled drive like Michael Porter Jr

Baines was such an albatross of a selection that La Russa pushed through. It still upsets me he got in. I think Lofton and Edmonds got screwed. The totals aren’t legendary but had they come on the ballot five years later people would have appreciated the defense/OBP numbers of those guys much...

He has that awesome six year run and it fell apart. I will say, a lot of 80’s/90’s guy got screwed because of the steroid era and the BBWAA really did a terrible job of recognizing players from that era. McGriff got in but I hated that the hall was like “I’m not voting for McGwire” but instead...

Prime? Maybe. I think Murphy has a case even if the advanced numbers don’t love him.
