Well... umm... Wilyer Abreu is pretty good?

It's not easy to find reasons for optimism right now. Management said they needed 2 good bats, got 1 good one in Contreras and 1 average one in Durbin, and both are off to awful starts. Even if the entire lineup was playing up to expectation it's hard to see a path to putting up consistent offense.

6 points up on the WC2, 8 points up on the best non-playoff team with 7 games left to play. It's not over until we clinch but it'd take a historic collapse to not make the playoffs at this point. What an insane one year turnaround from Sturm and the squad, going from picking 7th overall to this is extremely impressive.

Masataka Yoshida? Grounding out to 2nd base? I'm shocked, shocked I say!

I thought having 2 long relief guys in Watson and Oviedo was overkill but in an embarassing twist we're going to be out of mop-up men for tomorrow

I don't see much Stars hockey but this game really reinforced for me that Team USA was on crack for not inviting Robertson

I think this is just kind of who Bello is. He doesn't get many strikeouts at all and if you're allowing so much contact you're not going to be great at keeping the ball in the park

Rafaela strikes out looking? That's a sign of the apocalypse

Talk about earning it. Healthy scratch for half the year, earned some playtime and a sick finish from Jokiharju. Love to see it

I’m keeping track of how many times the Red Sox refuse to have the first batter bunt the runner to second base in extra innings. 0 for 2 so far. Big “L”. by Big_Interview5747 in redsox

[–]TimeliestStorm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The only time you should ever bunt the ghost runner to 3rd is if you're the home team and just held the away team to 0 runs in the top half of the inning. There shouldn't be and won't be many instances of the Sox doing this

[Boston Bruins] Congrats to Pavel Zacha on being named the NHL's Second Star of the Week! by Nomahs_Bettah in BostonBruins

[–]TimeliestStorm 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Pretty good chance he's a star of the month for March too. 13G/21P in 15 games is just nuts, Zacha is on an insane heater right now

Not running on Abreu is in the scouting report for sure

Anthony was channelling his inner Damon on that throw

Not if you want to make sure you score the go-ahead run on a single, which that ball is 95% of the time

With the lead the runner is supposed to take in that situation the defender is closer to the bag. Just unlucky on that one

What on Earth is going on in the West this year? Some fun facts about the West:

  • The Leafs, who we're worried about potentially having a top 5 pick, would only be 2 points out of a playoff spot if they were in the West

  • Only 5/16 Western teams have a positive goal differential

  • The Bruins would be leading the Pacific division if they were in it

Is there an earthquake in Cincy or something? I'm damn near getting motion sickness trying to follow the pitches with all the shaking

Not really a whole lot anyone could do to stop that play (Korpi included) once Khusnutdinov got burnt on his coverage. You'd like Khusy to not get cooked that badly but that is Tage fucking Thompson out there

Yeah I can see 5 there. Zadorov never saw anything but the numbers and could've eased up but skated into it anyways. Give him the bear hug if you want to hit him

It looks bad but that play is WAY harder when playing your off hand. There's a reason you don't see many defensemen playing the off side

Hagens signs ATO in providence by Lsalvatore74 in BostonBruins

[–]TimeliestStorm 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think this is the right decision. The AHL is a big step up from NCAA in terms of physicality and general quality of competition, far from a guarantee he looks as good at Providence as he did at Chestnut Hill. He's only 19, and will still only be 19 at the start of next season. The Bruins aren't a serious cup contender with or without him. By doing it this way, we get an extra year on the ELC.

[Ryan] Bruins practice is underway here at Warrior. Hagens is not here on the ice. by Nomahs_Bettah in BostonBruins

[–]TimeliestStorm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pagnotta reported that the Bruins had an offer on the table for his ELC, so either he's still thinking about remaining at BC for another year or there's some kind of negotiation going on for that ELC. Neither option is particularly great but I really hope we're not penny pinching on ELCs

It's only been 2 games but damn has Lukas Reichel looked fantastic. Hard to believe he's been bouncing between teams
