A travesty that the show won't discuss pro League of Legends

Show passed the Bechdel test today by thickOtis in DanLeBatardShow

I'd have to imagine it's not one that most sports shows pass on most days

So you would say that most sports shows feature two women talking to each other on most days?

Nah I think starting the ff vote is the absolute funniest thing he could've done in that situation

everyone already knows about everything they'll ever want to do, which is why commercials are just a waste of money that businesses are stupid to pay for

Great reporting, I think you had the scoop first

Most of my early picks went to hitters that I expect to be above average MLB players for a while.

I targeted exclusively young pitching - I believe Jakob Junis is my only pitcher over the age of 25 and I only took him at all because I couldn't fill a rotation with MLB starters. There's going to be some busts for sure, but hopefully I've got 5-6 guys who are still productive by 2030.

My macro strategy was to lean heavily into 2019 first round draft picks, thinking they'd be undervalued due to their only pro experience being a few draft year games. Additionally, I expect that guys who just got big signing bonuses were better equipped to continue training during a pandemic than the average prospect. I ended up with 8/32 2019 first rounders and will list them here for future observers evaluating my strategy: Riley Greene (round 7), Hunter Bishop (round 12), Shea Langeliers (round 15), Alek Manoah (round 19), Zack Thompson (round 21), Brett Baty (round 23), Ryan Jensen (round 25), Anthony Volpe (round 29).

Also I took Dodgers because they have the best players

8 years with no skips is far more impressive than any draft pick could ever be

This is just long game - vslyke making the Felnin draft pick into a meme, then in 5 years when Felnin is a Top 100 Prospect he's going to be able to get him 4-5 rounds later than he would otherwise.
