You’re really crying about his performance after a soft pop up to short should have ended the inning and then 2 grounders, with the one being a hit was due to the shift? Delusional to act like he did anything wrong that inning

The suicide squad is a rotating roster. They don’t need anyone to return.

Also, with the clippers trading for assets that means SGA takes on a larger role in the offense. His stock could go way up. Also want to see what Shamett can do with a larger role

Whether they have enough to ultimately beat out other teams I don’t know but the picks they have now plus SGA makes it interesting. I think he has a lot of potential and I like him individually more than anyone on the lakers.

Regardless this 76ers trade helps us because now the Celtics will have to catch up to the 76ers so they should be more inclined to give us a fair offer. Also adds another solid trade if Kyrie leaves and Celtics back out and the Knicks get a crap pick.

Oh it’s very self serving, especially for commissioners. Only been 10 total including Manfred now and 5 are in the Hall. The only ones that aren’t, held the position for less than 5 years

Yeah I definitely wasn’t defending those people just some possible reasons behind it. For the guys that leave off players that are 95% voted in to vote for guys that they believe should be kept on the ballot or on the cusp of getting in I can at least understand that.

The guys that leave people off when they have open slots or won’t vote for first year players, can’t stand them.

I believe the voting is public now too so hopefully that helps

Couple potential reasons

-Just want attention.
-their attempt to “preserve” the HoF by no one being 100%
-they know someone is guaranteed to make it in so instead of using a vote there they use it on someone that’s borderline off the ballot

Believe there was also a voter that only voted for players that were on the team he covered.

Just stopping by to say Larry Walker is a Hall of Famer

-1997 MVP, 5x All-star, 7x Gold Glove, 3x Silver Slugger, 3x Batting Champion,
-From 1997-2002, averaged .353 with a 157 OPS+
-career slash line of .313/.400/.565
-383 HR and 230 SB, only 10 players in history have more of both
-150 career assits from the outfield, 17th all time
-Higher WAR(72.6) than Gwynn and Winfield
- >4 WAR for 10 seasons, same as Griffey, Jackson, and Musial
- Career 140 wRC+, 34th in history of guys with over 8,000 PAs

Top 15 right fielders in MLB history according to WAR:

Edit: for anyone that wants to complain about his road numbers

He has a higher career ROAD OPS than:
- Brett
-Biggio(his road OPS is higher than Biggios combined)
-Griffey
- Gwynn(his road OPS is higher than Gwynn’s combined)
- Raines(higher road OPS than Raines combined)

One of the best run defenses in the country, probably the best RB we've played all year, we have a bad offense, and we're on the road.

Think we win but also don't find it ridiculous to be the underdog there.

How exactly is this a trap game? There’s not a game to look forward to besides a bowl game with an unknown opponent in a month. Hell we aren’t even favored at the moment so in what way is this a trap?

Also for Kemba he would absolutely help us. Would allow Jrue to play off ball where he is undeniably better, and also adds a dynamic scorer to our team. On top of that he is on a team friendly contract

That being said I don’t see any way we would be able to trade for him without stripping our team or getting outbid.
