If you are byu you have to figure out how to put someone else on the line besides a 94 percent free throw shooter.

 

[The Q]

I actually remember the non shot clock days with the 4 corners offense lol

The good ole days

Making high schools add shot clocks is dumb as hell

You don’t have time to make him pass

Sometimes you’re just stuck

Yep double or something. There go the typical 11 over 6 upset and I’m almost certain byu were the biggest favorites of the 6 seeds. -9.5

The first time they fouled him they did. I agree about the 2nd time

Not at all. It’s a shitty product. Oh my bad. You don’t live a corner of the world with plus high school basketball. If you got to watch talented players and not 6’1’’ pasty centers you’d be frustrated watching Uber talented kids dribble the clock out in the last 2:30-2:45 of the quarter. PA sorely needs a shot clock. Unfortunately, Hucklefuck coaches from Pennsyltucky keep voting it down because they can’t compete with real teams from Philly and Pittsburgh.

Or because it’s a waste of money….

You think basketball should be
Make America Hoosiers Again so a marginally talented screener could actually have a role in the beautiful game of basketball. Basketball evolved and left you and your short shorts behind, Ollie.

Basketball was made for big men

Everything else is now affirmative action for short people

gimmicks?

no it makes for a better game. Football would be amazing if teams were up a touchdown and never had to snap the ball after that

Flawed analogy. They would be running around with the ball for the entire quarter like bo Jackson in tecmo super bowl

Thanks, hadn't seen that. Figured they had a shot with Melvin now the manager

Boras got destroyed this year, tons of guys he held out for big money and long deals getting way less. Glad to see it finally.

Be nice to see more guys tell their agents what Jose Ramirez likely told his last offseason......I want to stay. Just get it done. Very least be nice for players to remember they are in charge and waiting not much risk for the agent who has a number of clients.

Many of the top teams are maxed out financially


Plus snell is a walking time bomb anyway

A short de cam be fine

But long term it was likely to get ugly imo

Far too many walks

He really missed the mark with Montgomery.

True

But guys like snell and monty raised their stock a ton this year

 

[dtgold88]

Yes. Good blocker. I thought he would be better weapon wise. He's ok, he just seemed to mess up in crucial moments.

That last comment is so true. Found myself just yelling get down when he caught a pass late so he wouldn't fumble.

Overall I guess a solid backup TE and maybe a middling starter. Had some moments....also seemed incredibly unathletic.

 

[dtgold88]

Ok. That is why we got him then. He gonna backup Mayer.

I'd say he's fine as a backup.

 

[The Q]

Yanks offered 6/150 and he just settled for 2/62

Questioning the validity of that offer now


Or he’s really betting on himself since he won’t have a qo attached to him next year

 

[The Q]

I really like the Giants offseason.

I think the Korean CF is an interesting signing in todays MLB- he seems to be a very similar bat to Kwan on the Guardians- a good stable setter that wont strike out

I know Ray wont be ready for a while- but if he gets healthy--- him, Snell, and possibly Harrison, can really add to a rotation headlined by Webb. Chapman is an upgrade.

That is a tough division with ARizona and of course the insane Dodgers- but the Giants made themselves into a team that has to be taken seriously.

Yeah they did a really good job

If they’re right they’ll still have some of the holes to fill next year though
