I love this. My kid is sitting here watching and keeps saying “good things happen when you put the ball in play.” Two hits barely past the pitcher’s mound score two runs.



The Royals won a Series with this philosophy. Put the ball in play, make them get you out. There is hope of a recovery from "three outcomes" baseball eventually.

Ironically, the only time in human history this could have happened is the 21st century.

He hit a bomb Homer


I read a breakdown saying a ball hit with 105 mph exit velocity and a 45 degree launch angle has virtually no expectation of being a home run in any MLB park outside of Houston.
Can’t be a postseason bust if you don’t play in the postseason.

Then the organization is doing the worst possible job at damage control. If she was probationary and terminated for performance issues, they should be highlighting that and diminishing this other issue.

IF you're position is accurate, they took a normal mundane HR procedure and turned it into a lawsuit.

as much as people don't want to admit it, Saban deserves credit for restoring LSU football to true national relevance.


Who doesn’t acknowledge that Saban brought LSU to national relevance?
Context? Ain't no body got time for that.

Seems he always expected Alabama to win a


Nick Saban lost 71 games as a head coach in college. 52 of those losses came before Alabama.

Saban averaged less than 2 losses per season at Bama. If you remove his first season he averaged 1.5.

Seems like expecting them to win was a reasonable position.

I can agree that at times they would focus more on what Bama was doing wrong vs what the other team did right, but they were always pretty even handed in their praise when warranted.

How does any person, even if they only have a single molecule of a moral compass justify defending someone like Clancy?


It’s a foundational tenet of our judicial system.

It’s a tough one for sure. But you can also think of it less as trying to get a guilty person off and more of making sure the state meets their burden of proof. It’s a check on the government.
I think if the first wild card team has a better record that the lowest division winner, they should get to choose who they play in the wild card round.

Assuming we're not going to make any changes to the number of teams that get in, that is.

i like that the MLB still values divisions and regional play.


I don't disagree, but there is something wrong that it's arguably better to be the 3rd Wild Card rather than 1st.

A little?

Assuming the $40 million roster is accurate. LSU is in this year for ~$73 million.

That amendment has no chance of passing


Congress isn't serious about passing this bill at all. They wrote it in a way that wouldn't pass, and it has since had a bunch of add-ons that make it even less likely.

Congratulations, you just identified the culprit.

The athletes have power because schools want to win and are willing to break rules to do so.

No, she's not.

Has she lost her mind staying at that school and not transferring to LSU?


Isn't she a senior? The transfer portal has Joe Blow out here thinking that actually changing schools every year is a common and easy thing to do.

Transferring after 3 years can significantly delay timeline to graduation depending on program area.

She's also an adult. Her dad changing jobs shouldn't require her to alter her life.

Why didn’t they just go sign with a G6 team?


There are deadlines involved. They were enrolled at LSU in time to be added to the roster pending the outcome of the court case. Once LSU made it official that they would not be added, it was too late for them to just go somewhere else.

It's possible they may be able to find another school with part-of-term enrollment and roster space that will take them, but that's not a guarantee.

Seems to me that the NFL has done them a favor by specifically stating that they are not eligible to return to the NFL this season.

That doesn't address players with 10/5 or no trade clauses Existing contracts will stay in place and will either impact teams going forward with new contracts, or there will be easing, or there will be an NBA style soft cap


10/5 is part of the CBA. It could (unlikely) be removed.

Obviously details have to be fleshed out, but I just can’t agree with a situation that exempts current contracts from counting towards the cap. That creates a situation where teams close to or above the cap already can pay significantly more.

Maybe a percentage of of the contracts can count, or a base amount, for a period of time.
