NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[Shanemansj13]

As much as I hate Robert's and his pitch count bullshit it's hard to argue results

It also helps having a $289M payroll lol.

Indians 26 man roster - $64M
Dodgers RP's - $45M
Dodgers SP's - $84M

Their pitching staff is double the Indians entire payroll.

I just don't see how you suspend him for 2022 if the trials for the civil suits won't start until April 2023 (according to this source).

 

[Heatles84]

Yeah, Chandler sent His ass to the shadow realm....lol

Justin Gaithe will never win gold.

Exciting fighter. But, can't win the big one.

I was so disappointed in Thug Rose.

Dana isn't giving her a rematch.

Esparza will.fight the winner of Zhang Wellington and

Joanna Jedrzejczyk.​

So, Esparza will be one and done.

I'm actually a little scared for Joanna.

Last time, Welli made her look like the elephant man.

Ps. .....and Cabell lost too.

That's always been the knock on Gaethje. I was pulling for him because Islam's coming, and Gaethje stands no chance against in. It'd be a mirrored result of what happened against Khabib. Gaethje will always be marketable and will have a home in the UFC, but you're right, even moving up, he'd stand no chance against Usman.

Felt by for Tony, just shows you can get caught at any point.

Carla will be a one and done, I'm curious how Joanna handles that long lay off. It's amazing how match ups are so critical in the Straw Weight Division.

I guess the upside it isn't just Roger's whim anymore

You and I are in agreement. But that's not usually how Goodell operates. He prefers optics over fair.

I love Chandler.

But, he's in the same.category as Justin.

Goes out on their Shields.

Won't ever be at the top of the food chain.

Joanna probably needed to step away for a bit.

4 of her last 5 were against Valentina, Thug Rose twice and Welli......all loses.

That's fucking BRUTAL....lol

....and you just know the winner of Joanna and Welli will have to fight Rose in a trilogy after dethroning Esparza.

 

[dtgold88]

@dtgold88 @Shanemansj13 who would have guessed the Indians would have the highest batting average and second highest runs total in the American League over a month in? lol.

Owen Miller and Steve Kwan are legit good young hitters. Gimenez is playing extremely well too.

No doubt have been some pleasant surprises....would not mind another power bat in the OF, though, to make a serious run (or 2)

After Ray Rice and Mixon videos came out, yep.

The pitching wasn't expected to be carrying the team, it was the bats.

LOL.

 

[DJ]

I agree with this. He should be allowed to play in 2022 and when this is settled.....suspend him for whatever amount of games in 2023.

 

[DJ]

You may be the only viewer for the USFL lol...

There are others.....3 mill viewed the opening weekend.

USFL ratings for the opening game were good, but the challenge is building on it

The opening weekend of the USFL drew plenty of viewers.

LOL.

You guys have a stout rotation too

I know.

Before the season everybody was talking about the bats and I was like our pitching is good....LOL.

So you took praise for the Dodgers' pitching staff directed at Wiggy who dismissed the Dodgers pitching heading into the season as an attack on the Indians pitching? A bet sensitive, perhaps?

The Indians only spending $64M is their choice; you don't get brownie points for frugality. League average is $147M. Cleveland is 4th from the bottom with the glorious Pirates, A's and Orioles; not exactly the neighborhood you want to stay in long.

Yeah, @WiggyRuss was talking mad shit about our pitching.....thanks for reminding me.

LOL.

The Indians trying to be the new Oakland A's.....LOL.

Meanwhile....MLB is suspending Trevor Bauer for 2 more seasons with no charges. Getting AmberHearded...

Bauer should have had time served.

Why don’t you guys just buy another pitcher?
