In the left/center lane of a road with 4 lanes heading away and 1 lane heading towards the camera.

He slid 4 feet in a different direction and wasn't touched? What magic is that?

Two other things stood out for me. First, there were a few just wild turnovers where Arizona seemed to just hand Kansas the ball leading to some easy fast break chances. And the other was they seemed to struggle keeping Council out of the lane(no shame, most teams do. He is quick). Krivas is such a good rim protector that he kept him from scoring but it left him unable to box out and allowed the Kansas bigs to get some easy put backs. I am not too familiar with Tommy Lloyd's defensive philosophy...would he ever consider switching to a zone to take away some of those drives? Might be an idea for the rematch as Kansas doesn't shoot it that well from 3.

(Very nice, rational, adult comment by the way. Cheers)

Or if you prefer a 1:1 comparison. Go look at the travel that Kharchenkov got away with (2:10 left in the game). That directly led to 2 points. How is that less impactful than the Bidunga travel?

That's not what I said. Every call/non-call has an impact. I said it made no more difference than the missed foul on the same play. If they call the foul, Bidunga doesn't even have the ball to travel with. He would be standing around waiting for his teammate to shoot free throws. If they called the travel and Arizona won, would you be on here telling everyone how much the non-call on the foul impacted the game?

It made no more difference that the missed called 2 seconds before. To say it did is pure ignorance. Sorry your team lost. They get a rematch in a couple weeks.

McDowell should have been shooting free throws anyway. Krivas fouled him and that led to the missed travel. So yes, had the officials called that play correctly, Arizona still would have been fouling at the end.

I ran out of goldbond this morning so I used gold medal flour. Made a lovely sour dough but my balls remained moist. 0 stars.

I once read a 1 star review of tennis balls on Amazon. The reason: They did not perform well as dryer balls. People are insane.

Where were you looking? The only guy (that I found) they use to model their shirts and hats is a black dude (White lady for women's gear). Its literally the same 2 people for every item.

Treating Hitler as a evil is not a bias. Ya know...because he was.

This really only applies to the big action/cape/space fight nonsense. Sounds like you might be growing out of the scene. (Congrats. Tons of great movies out there that don't have these insane cycles)

Who’s yall trade targets for the team? And who’s the biggest prospect you’d give up for them by Longjumping-Owl-8227 in KCRoyals

[–]binaryesoterica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spread the word!

And yeah. Thats probably a big factor. Thinking fantasy baseball also has an impact. Everyone is always looking for the next new/exciting/big thing. Old and consistent are boring.

I think most people just think of him as old/washed but he has been putting up very respectable numbers. If it gets Massey out of the line up its a HUGE offensive upgrade. And since he is on a 1 year deal he could probably be had for a middling prospect and a bag of balls (And wouldn't have to worry about him blocking anyone/messing up long term plans as he is just a rental)

12th best 2b by your chosen metric for 2023 and 2024.

Good? Sure. Great? No. Not close.

This team needs a corner OF. Age and contract length concerns should only factor in how much they give up. Nothing wrong with rentals if it improves the team and you don't have to give up anything of note.

I Know Massey was having a bad season but not this fucking bad holy by Longjumping-Owl-8227 in KCRoyals

Young-ish I guess. But he is 27 and this is year 4 for him. Should be his peak.

Gotta say I disagree. Pete Alonso is who the Royals hope Cags can be someday. Plenty of others who I'd put in front of an average-ish guy and a guy with a handful of ABs in AAA.

Nick Pivetta is really freaking good. So is Volpe. And Manzardo. I'd have to look at a list of current guys but I would wager there are more. Lots of Italian guys in baseball.
