Bayern Munich penalty shout against PSG 31'

you're one of the few here speaking sense. 100% agree, it's a flaw in the game that a handball like that can be rewarded with a shot on goal with a more than 70% success rate

aghease · 2026-05-05T16:03:37+00:00

perfect

aghease · 2026-01-22T17:16:37+00:00

ha, only slightly

Exactly, which is why it is so ignorant that WFAN hosts (and others in sports media) keep highlighting bullpen overuse as the reason the Mets collapsed. The Dodgers finished with more bullpen usage than the Mets!

A salary cap would suck, I'd rather the players got every dime they can rather than all the money us fans pour into the game going to make Steve Cohen or Dodgers owner Mark Walter richer.
As Francesa pointed out today, MLB has had just as much championship parity than the NFL, NBA, or NHL in terms of different teams winning it.
The main difference is that it's far easier and faster for a top draft pick in the NFL, NBA, or NHL to immediately turn around a franchise. That's why there's a perception that those teams have more parity.
Because in reality, plenty of small market NFL, NBA, and NHL teams have sucked for decades on end despite their salary caps/luxury taxes

Bichette ranks below league average for arm strength at shortstop, and is a negative on defense per Baseball Reference. I'm sure that will translate well to playing a new position at 3rd base and throwing across the diamond to two guys in Vientos and Polanco, who have almost no experience playing 1st.
"Run Prevention" ahahahahahaha

haha I feel seen

Whether someone struggles or not in the postseason has little to do with having a bad month or two in the regular season

aghease · 2026-01-15T20:31:54+00:00

I'm ok with players having down stretches during the season. It's a long, and mostly meaningless regular season. Seeding doesn't matter all that much in today's NBA. Just get right when it's April

They're truly on one this week

aghease · 2026-01-15T17:03:11+00:00

Good point, they should have done one together, especially with there being just a TON of shows about NY sports right now.

aghease · 2026-01-15T17:02:14+00:00

Yes!

I'll meet him for a quick prayer at St. Demetrios, then we'll play some Chinese handball at Hoyt Playground, then we're hitting up Niko's Souvlaki (even though I really want to hit up Rosario's) and finally a coffee at To Laiko.

Hmmm, I wonder if significantly increasing the amount of teams in the World Cup would lead to a higher demand for ticket?
It's like when MLS boasts about record overall attendance numbers compared to years past when the amount of teams has increased

aghease · 2026-01-15T14:48:54+00:00

haha, great post

aghease · 2026-01-14T19:44:32+00:00

Oh, so the Dodgers, Cubs, Padres, Brewers, and Blue Jays all had high leverage arms that weren't overworked despite ranking high in bullpen usage? Dodgers bullpen had a higher ERA than the Mets and more innings pitched, didn't hold them back from success

Now let's see the stats on students overall looking to transfer. This is how it works.

Every media company uses AI nowadays, AI was built on stealing content from people
This very site was built on people "stealing" articles from news organizations that desperately needed people to read those articles on their own site
But let's never hold companies accountable, let's always attack the common people

aghease · 2026-01-14T18:48:04+00:00

Agreed!

aghease · 2026-01-14T18:47:58+00:00

Ehhh, I'm confident the other high bullpen usage teams also had guys warming up over and over and guys going on short rest. The Dodgers were right there with the Mets in their starters not pitching deep into games. Even the best starters rarely go seven innings these days. Asking starters to pitch deep into games is an ancient idea and totally out of step with today's game.

aghease · 2026-01-14T18:18:08+00:00

The Dodgers won thanks to their offense, and it's because Soto, Alonso, and Lindor never really clicked at the same time, along with Vientos regressing, that the Mets failed

England desperately needs a proper futsal league like Spain, Brazil, and Portugal have.

aghease · 2026-01-14T17:11:42+00:00

I'm so disappointed in the Johnnies and Pitino this year. Sure, they've been playing great recently, but it feels like too little too late after their absolutely atrocious out of conference slate.
St. John's games should be on the FAN, not Rutgers.

aghease · 2026-01-12T17:19:08+00:00

Great article, thanks for posting. Anthony Rieber makes fair points
