  1. Even Gibson couldn't be Gibson now. Most hitters he'd face in a WS had never stood in against him before and were likely anticipating something up and in if they looked too comfy in the box. Now you can't brush back everyone who dares stand on the plate so it takes more pitches to set up hitters and now even the weakest hitters are stronger than just about anyone in the '60s.
  2. The success of the AHL teams usually depends on how many AAAA vets they surround the youngins with
  3. You know who wants to control election narratives? Anybody or any organization that thinks they have the juice to pull it off
  4. Over the past few seasons they've allowed Ohtani to keep himself in the lineup pretty much every game while at the same time giving Trout scheduled off days. Maybe it's time to tell Trout they trust him enough to ask for an off day or DH day when he feels like he needs it with a few scheduled exceptions such as they getaway day at the end of a road trip, etc
  5. FFS every team is a fit for Shohei. These are baseball teams and he’s a great baseball player
  6. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/washihe01.shtml Herb is probably available
  7. Kings are a pretty complete team and I’d expect them to be first or second in the Pacific. The big question is can a top line of Kopitar, Byfield, and Kempe and having Talbot in goal get you deep in the playoffs
  8. This was obvious to anyone who wasn't rushing to the keyboard to be the first obnoxious, hairsplitting smartass with no actual contribution to make to the thread
  9. They wear those fairly often. What they don't do quite as often is give up 6 unanswered with a 3 goal lead
  10. A 250 lber with a history of knee problems isn’t going to get a 50 start gig but he looks good tonight
  11. Ducks have a lot of work to do in defending the cycle and handling the forecheck. And you can tell they really miss Z when it comes to creating offense
  12. Give him a break. An oily douche with great hair who can’t make it in Hollywood has no choice but to go into politics
  13. I'm pretty sure it's the audience from the Muppet Show
  14. Avs got embarrassed against St Louis and since then they quit playing Globetrotter hockey and started working again. Ducks just got them at the wrong time
  15. Nice tip by Carrack. You can see they really miss Z on the PP
  16. I watched it a couple weeks ago. Any DDay story reminds us how we really just accepted massive casualties to get that foothold in Europe. Whether on the plane waiting to jump or on the boat waiting to hit the beach I can’t imagine what they must’ve carried for the rest of their lives.
  17. He was the token candidate not yet eligible for full social security benefits
  18. My wife and I went to see Killers of the Flower Moon this weekend. The story is fine and the acting is good. Scorsese manages to keep your attention but my goodness 3 1/2 hours is too long to sit in a theater. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I saw it at home with the pause button and convenient toilet
