From what Len and JD were discussing yesterday Brett Andersoncould get more starts because of injury issues and difficulty warming up quickly

Yeah that 5th starter is up in the air. Not even really sure how he will use the bull pen as of now. Maddon does all kinds of different things.

Harvey struggling in 2nd inning, giving up a double, hitting a batter, and giving up a 3-run Homer to Jose Martinez.  3-1 Cards. Mets also scored their run on a home run (Cespedes).

 

Cards player just laid down a great bunt. NL baseball!!

Martinez has probably earned a spot on the Roster , has really had obsticles physically to over come . 28 years old and probably has made it to the bigs. I love stories like that.

Oh, I don't but the Cards look good. The score is not important.  They are playing fundamentally well.  They play baseball the way I like -- getting people on base no matter how (hits, walks, bunts), moving runners along, and timely hits. I don't like winning via the home run. Lol.

Lol I'm out of likes , will come back and hit some of these tomorrow

Cards always seem to play fundamentally sound Baseball. They are a threat every year to win the WS.

The fundamentals were terrible last year , very out of the norm. One thing they are concentrating on this spring.

I actually don't want a big bat. I want to play small ball the way the Cards are. I am jealous right now. They are playing small ball and going to the opposite field. They are getting singles and doubles, stealing bases, taking the extra base. I love that. No big bat but now leading 11-3 by just playing small ball. I will take that.

One thing most don't realize about the Cards last year besides fundamental lapse , they were 3rd in MLB in home runs.

The player I like most on the Cubs is Zobrist. I liked Fowler too. Zobrist seems to bring everything. The Mets did try and sign him. He would have been a good signing. I usually don't like picking up high-priced free agents but I would have liked him. He's a winner.

Zobrist was a major pick up for them and he delivered . Hes just flat out a good all around player

If they have 14 id say that's correct

 

The Mets have 10 major league players and 4 minor leaguers playing in WBC.

 

I'm not sure how much I like so many of our guys playing in this.  When is it over?

The 22nd but if there are two rounds of pools then a Championship Round so it depends on how far each team goes

The great Peyton Manning texted Kris Bryant and congratulated him on his MVP and WS win per wishtv.com. Kris Bryant was blown away by this and didn't even expect that coming from a guy like a Peyton. The Cubs are so young and humble it actually blows me away! Kris Bryant is the total opposite of LeBron James or Tom Brady. The guy isn't full of himself, the guy doesn't put pressure on his management to get better players, he doesn't whine, he just plays his sport and respects his peers and respects his management. He just wins and does it the way the average fan loves it. God, I love Baseball.

Very classy move by Peyton, love that guy! That last catch and throw by Bryant, lol, it was like watching a pinto league game and seeing a kid throw the game winning out....the happiness and emotion on his face knowing he just sealed the deal.....

      Colt's picked as Super Bowl Sleeper by NFL Network.

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Well….  One of us was in the business and the other wasn’t.      On the opinion shows, of course they want it entertaining.   They want viewers.  Issues can be presented dry as toast or they can be presented in an interesting and entertaining way.   But no talking head is saying things they don’t believe.   They say what they think.    There are pre-production meetings to talk about topics and to give each side time to do some research to make counter-arguments and to write things out.   No talent is being forced to say things they don’t believe for the sake of good tv.   If they did,  wouldn’t somebody say that by now?  ESPN has let go of hundreds and hundreds of on-air talent due to layoffs and other cost-cutting.   Wouldn’t someone have made that claim by now?   Wouldn’t numerous people have made that claim?    Good on-air talent are paid big money to think and articulate in an interesting and entertaining way.   I don’t like Stephen A. Smith, but that’s why he makes $10-12 million per.   No one is writing scripts for him.   Same with Mike Greenberg and all the other on-air talent.    Honestly.   I’m not messing with you.

      Respectfully  disagree my friend. They may write their own material BUT if they do it's on the subject the producers want AND it has the narrative the networks want which is why they have meetings before the show with the producers.....and of course it helps if it's ENTERTAINING. Lol   Case in point.....I'm going way back. John Clayton & Sean Salisbury did their act on a somewhat semi regular basis. Salisbury would always criticize Peyton Manning and Clayton would always defend him.  This went on for a handful of years early on Peyton's career. Once it became obvious that he was elite the act had to stop.   Imo, very few are trusted to come on National Television and get to say anything they want or feel like at that moment.    If anyone watches the acts of Shannon Sharpe & Skip.... Steven A & Max etc.....etc....you can tell it it's scripted & staged and meant to be entertaining.

      Youre talking about a handful of highly controversial instances.      Im talking about day to day life.   What is on Sports Center or the talking head opinion shows.    The stuff that most people are watching ESPN for.    What you’re talking about is roughly less than 5 percent of ESPN, maybe less.   What I’m talking about is more than 95 percent.    Two completely different worlds.

      There are plenty of examples of ESPN for instance, playing up, or down, different narratives, or up or down particular  conferences and teams.    Take the Salituro/China situation. After the criticism by Morey, ESPN issued an internal memo to basically not discuss the Hong Kong protests and topic. Even displayed Taiwan as part of China on a map.
