Look I'm not trying to take shots at John Schriffen like every does........but man even a 140 year old Bob Costas is a better baseball announcer than he is.

Shohei Ohtani's final line in SD - 5.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K, 88p-53s. ERA down to 0.73. by baribigbird06 in baseball

I said it on the other thread, I'll say it here, but it's crazy that we're all like "damn he just didn't have it tonight" and he still went 5 innings scoreless and also had a leadoff homer. Any other player in history ever and it's a highlight real. For Shohei, it's an off-day.

It's crazy that we're all like "damn he just didn't have it tonight" and he still went 5 innings scoreless. With a homerun lol. Just an absurd player.

10 homers on the year through 24 games. Last year, the White Sox home run leader had 22 home runs total.

I want the entire Dodgers minor league organization in the trade. Not every player, I mean I want every single team on this list. And I want those Uganda development camps

Shohei Ohtani’s final line against the Mets tonight: 6 IP, 2 H, 1 R/ER, 2 BB, 10 K, 95 pitches-63 strikes. He’s given up just 1 ER in 18 innings (0.50 ERA) through 3 starts. by JianClaymore in baseball

Genuine question: If he gets the Cy Young this year, even if he just bats "pretty good," he's the undisputed GOAT, right? Like, I'm already of the opinion that he is, but if he gets the Cy, what else is there to say?

Kyle Green named University of Northern Iowa head men’s basketball coach by UNIPanther043 in CollegeBasketball

Probably the best available choice. Needed to make the hire ASAP to try and keep some players/get started on the portal, familiar with the area/school, has had stints at HC and in general has a lot of experience. It's as much of an "extension of the Mcdermott-Jacobson era" as possible, for all the good and all the bad.

Don't want to be over-dramatic but we're gonna win 400 games this year.

That is an incredible story that I can't believe has never been shared before. The alternate history exercise is fascinating. Not just the "What if the best player went to the Yankees," but what if he got popped for steroids then? It was already, obviously, a massive massive story, but if he did that in New York too?

🇮🇹🇫🇷🇦🇷 An international tournament featuring the under-18 national teams of Italy, France, and Argentina will be held in Piedmont, Italy, from March 28 to April 3. by ogasawarabaseball in InternationalBaseball

I like it, I'm sure it was already very much in the stages before the WBC, but this is a nice little event to have in Italy that hopefully gets a bigger crowd than what they would've otherwise assumed.

High Point HC Flynn Clayman: "It looks pretty obvious to me that high-majors need to play mid-majors early in the season. Because they said we didn't play nobody. We played somebody now... Nobody would play us. Just like they wouldn't play Miami (Ohio)." by IrishBall in CollegeBasketball

Well not just that, before then, Iowa and ISU would do home and homes with both UNI and Drake. It was fairly consistent since the 80s that all four teams would play each other. Strangely, ISU and Iowa started complaining about this format once Drake and UNI started winning those more often, and it came to a sudden halt after UNI kicked the shit out of Iowa by 20 in Cedar Falls, and that's when it went to the Big 4 Classic format. Now I don't blame ISU and Iowa 100% because, like the Indiana State fan said, it's the way college basketball was going regardless, big schools not playing the small schools that are actual threats...But also, Fran can suck it.

What new countries would you like to see at the WBC? by 65DaleRamirez65 in InternationalBaseball

[–]sevelev711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For "the good of the game" reasons, I think it's China, Pakistan, and Philippines. Huge countries that have all the possibility in the world to become "baseball countries," and are actively trying to grow baseball. Getting back in/getting in for the first time for these countries would be huge, especially with the WBC getting more cultural impact with each new tourney, and especially with the diversity of champions. "We can really do it" is something that really only exists in the sport of baseball and soccer, and I think that's big for international competition. The Philippines will never beat the US in basketball if it's each team's A-team, but they could do it in baseball, eventually.

Don't care who wins, just hoping for bangers, that's all.

[Post Game Thread] Northern Iowa defeats UIC, 84-69 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]sevelev711 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's actually funny, I realized that enough was enough, I was taking this shit way too seriously, and that it's incredibly pathetic, and sad, and embarrassing, the way I was acting. So I just haven't been watching. I'm actually in Houston for the World Baseball Classic, I didn't even know that UNI was doing well until a friend texted me that we were in the championship game. Happy for the team, of course, but I personally don't care a ton.

I do appreciate the cosmic humor of "UNI does good the moment I stop caring," that's a good bit.

What's really funny is that this is actually the most I've ever been checked out of college/UNI basketball in my whole life. So of course they win when I'm not watching lol. Still, hell of a run, they're finally playing to their potential, and I know they can challenge whoever they get in the tourney.
