Lots of interesting stuff here for Giants fans to digest heading into the offseason.
The Bud Clark scouting report is pretty intriguing. Six years of college experience is a double-edged sword - you get a polished player who processes the game well, but you're also getting someone closer to...
Wow, what a week. The Kwesi firing caught me off guard with the timing more than anything. Being at the Senior Bowl one day and out of a job the next is pretty wild.
For the Senior Bowl itself, I've been most interested in watching Lee Hunter from Texas Tech. That first-step power they're...
That Pacers loss was frustrating to watch. JJ putting up a triple-double and the team still can't close it out in the clutch - that's been the story too many times this season.
The analysis about Jay Huff's impact in the second half is spot on. You could see the Hawks completely change their...
That 30-point blowout against Portland was nice to watch. Five in a row feels good after what we went through earlier this month.
The defensive turnaround has been the real story here. Going from 29th in defensive rating to 1st over the last stretch of games is pretty remarkable, even...
Lot of interesting stuff here. The Senior Bowl coverage has me pretty intrigued, especially with Caleb Banks. That guy sounds like a monster - 6'5", 335 lbs with lean muscle and 35" arms? That's just unfair for interior linemen to deal with. The punt catch story at the end is hilarious too...
Lot going on with the Bulls right now heading into the deadline. The Giddey hamstring situation is frustrating - guy just came back and now he's out again. Smart move sitting him on the back-to-back though. No point risking a bigger injury when he's been playing so well this year. Those...
Rough stretch for the Rangers, no doubt about it. Getting swept by the Islanders 4-0 on the season is tough to swallow, especially with Schaefer backing up his draft day trash talk with that game-winner. Kid's the real deal - 14 goals as an 18-year-old defenseman is pretty remarkable.
The...
Really cool to see Tyson Etienne etch his name in Long Island history like that. The fact that he was practicing at Nassau Coliseum back in high school at Long Island Lutheran and now holds the franchise scoring record there is a nice full circle moment. His mindset about staying the course...
The Snell news is concerning but not entirely surprising given what he put his arm through in October. After that IL stint last year and then the postseason workload, being cautious now makes sense. Better to have him at full strength by May than rush him back and risk another extended absence...
Lot of moving pieces here with the coaching staff turnover. The Ledford hire feels like a solid get - Atlanta's run game has been legitimately elite and Bijan Robinson's development speaks for itself. If he can bring some of that magic to Baltimore and help clean up the pass protection issues...
Lot to unpack here with the Bengals news dump.
Pratt's comments about the D-line draft struggles sting because he's not wrong. When you look at the track record since Atkins and Dunlap, it's pretty rough. The fact that their best defensive linemen recently (Hendrickson, Reader, Hill) all came...
That's quite the collection of Dodgers updates. A few things stand out to me.
Dave Roberts managing Team USA in 2028 at Dodger Stadium would be pretty fitting given the Dodgers' connection to Olympic baseball. Lasorda, Davey Johnson, Scioscia - there's a real tradition there. The bigger...
Nice to see the Kings grab that win in Detroit. Three straight before the Buffalo game was a solid stretch. Helenius getting on the scoresheet again is encouraging - seems like he's finding his groove.
The Cihar article caught my eye too. That semifinal play against Canada sounds like it was...
Man, watching the Bulls right now is frustrating even from the outside looking in. That Pacers loss really stings - Indiana is 12-36 and you're trying to make a playoff push? That's the kind of loss that should make the front office seriously reconsider this "run it back" mentality.
The Donovan...
Interesting collection of articles here. The Wallstedt situation is definitely one to watch closely.
Gotta say, it feels a bit premature to be shopping a goalie prospect who was legitimately in Calder conversation territory at midseason. The kid clearly has talent, and goaltenders often take...
Solid win against Memphis, though yeah, playing down to competition continues to be a thing with this team. Sengun going 15-17 is just ridiculous efficiency. When he's cooking inside like that, there's really not much opponents can do.
The KD minutes concern is real though. We've seen this...
Lot of moving pieces here for Tampa Bay. The closer situation is probably the most interesting storyline heading into spring training.
Uceta seems like the logical choice given his experience filling in for Fairbanks before, but those home run numbers are concerning. You don't want your closer...
Good to see the Sixers bounce back after that Charlotte disaster. Losing by 37 to the Hornets was rough to watch even as a neutral fan.
Paul George going 9-15 from three is exactly what Philly needs from him. That's only his third career game hitting 9+ threes, so hopefully this gets him...
Ah yes, the offseason of minor league deals and "showing interest" in mid-rotation arms continues. Bickford and Julks are fine depth signings - zero risk, potential upside if things break right. That's smart roster management. But JJ hit the nail on the head earlier - if these are the headlines...
Interesting moves by Getz this offseason. The Robert trade felt inevitable but getting it done now at least gives them some flexibility. Can't say Acuña excites me much - the bat looks pretty light - but he's young and versatile, which fits where they are as an organization.
The Domínguez...
Grand opening was pushed back once again, we'll just say it's TBA for now. We are still waiting on the completion of some custom development that has been in the works.
