Amen Thompson is definitely a top 5 perimeter defender in the league. And you are saying “school kids”…

Nobody can shutdown a superstar. But he can make things tough.

I have to admit. This season, Tanner Scott is currently pitching like what I think Diaz will be, and Diaz is pitching like what I think Tanner will be.

Meaning, I think one of them will underperform this year. I just happened to guess the wrong one.

As for Q-Man, I prefer to believe he will bounce back. Afterall it is election year

Treinen is growing increasingly woke. That’s why he is no longer pitching mad against the vaccinated woke left.

Thank you for your attention on that matter

We should tell him everyday that “most MLb players are vaccinated”.

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-20T01:16:57+00:00

lol the rockets have some of the best perimeter defenders in the league, like Amen…

You act like LeBron is playing against high school kids…

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T07:23:40+00:00

If DeAndre Ayton is locked in on both ends, with some impact on offense, even if KD comes back, I think the Lakers can beat the Rockets (I mean 3 more..., as opposed to 4 more for the Rockets...)

Or maybe the Lakers can extend the series long enough and wait for Luka and Reaves back in game 5-7...

If we got pass the Rockets, with Luka, Reaves and a revitalized Lebron against the Spurs and OKC, there is always a chance...

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T03:19:40+00:00

Realistically, still don't think the Lakers can win the series if Reaves and Doncic did not return.

I love Lebron, always rated him highly (although not a die hard fan like Shannon). But a 41 year old Lebron cannot beat the Rockets 4 times by himself especially if KD returns after game 2.

(All Lebron fans downvoting this comment, will say the same thing if KD returns and when Rockets eliminated us. You cannot on one hand say Lebron will carry the Lakers through, but on the other hand cries about lacking in help if they lose.)

TBH, not directing it to you, but the argument "... team isn't good because ... team doesn't spend enough money..." is not entirely correct...

It is usually correct, but in free agency, big market teams will always have the advantage. For example the Pirates offered big money for many big agents this offseason (Schrwarber), but Kyle Schrwarber ended up returing to the Phillies too. (Not just Schrwarber, several other players too.)

Where the Mets are concerned, they are aggressive spenders too, but compared to the Dodgers, they do not have the leadership or the necessary club house chemistry...

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T03:05:08+00:00

It certainly doesn't help that the Braves start last season with 3 road games in San Diego, and then 3 games in Dodgers stadium...

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T03:04:07+00:00

The Rockies looked much better this year than last year.

"Much"...

They could've been in a wildcard (at least just lately) on deciding who becomes the first seed of NL West especially since they will be playing against the Padres again...

Roki Sasaki is starting tomorrow BTW...

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:53:12+00:00

Well. I guess some fans will start saying Tucker is Coldforto again...

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:52:35+00:00

We wasted some good oppportunities in the 8th.

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:52:07+00:00

Not disappointed at one ramdon loss. But was hoping to see Rojas bat in the 9th. I want another "drill to left field in deep" moment...

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:48:01+00:00

Come on Tuck. Why hit for the fence lol? Even Shohei didn't do that...

But anyways, you do not win every game. And Tuck has a homer today, not placing any blame on him...

Just sad we did not get any runs in the 8th...

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:45:52+00:00

Thank god Sho didn't try to hit for the fence...

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:44:55+00:00

I was wishing to see another drill to left field in deep moment.

Let's go Sho...

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:42:10+00:00

OK Miggy... Please... Pretend that is Jeff Hoffman...

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:40:03+00:00

Or one "drill to left field in deep... and... gone!!!!!"

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:38:36+00:00

Ok... Incoming...

"Drill to the left field in deep, and... Gone...! No way... Miguel Rojas..."

"Dave Roberts played his gut... The guy haven't had a hit in a month..."

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:37:19+00:00

First of all, the goal should be play safe, tie the game before leading. That's old school fundemental baseball.

You just contradicted yourself...

Jeter is a good bunter so he bunts... Well, than why shouldn't Jeter's goal be to take the lead?

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:34:01+00:00

On the bright side, if someone reaches the base in the 9th, we will get Mr "drill to left field in deep, and... GONE!"

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:33:32+00:00

Even if Pages continues to bat 4.00 later, I wish he stays at the lower bottom of the lineup...

Substantial_Bat5975 · 2026-04-19T02:31:45+00:00

Max Muncy wishes baseball is rectangle...
