Miami is now residing in Jaylen's head - he is costing them this lead with bad basketball
he needed that three bad. Miami is looking more athletic right now
....and he fumbles the ball away on a breakaway. goodness.

10 vs 3 offensive rebounds. Brown with 15 second left has no ability to make a play and threw it away at the end of the third.
Celts winning but could be much more - they have much more height but are not playing like it.

More 3rd quarter blues for the greens - 13-2 Miami run due to careless sloppiness

I've not made a prediction yet, and still won't until we see what the team is looking like as it goes into spring training. But - looking at the current projected active roster: Pitching Additions - Giolito, Slaten, Mata, Campbell Significant Pitching subtractions - Sale Offense Additions - Grissom, a (hopefully) healthy Story, O'Neill Significant Subtractions - Verdugo To me it is all going to be about playing better, smarter baseball (defense, base running), better health, and some significant upgrades to players we've seen for awhile. There additions are quite unproven and could go either way. Duvall and Turner not listed as subtractions? Yes...thx. again - insufficient coffee! Fixed

You guys are all using fWAR when the point was that Verdugo was being called an offensive subtraction. Fangraphs Off was -3.5 and Def was +3.5 Verdugo is a defensive subtraction, yes, but nothing material as an offensive subtraction especially considering his replacements in O’Neill and Abreu. So if the original post would’ve said “Position Player” instead of “Offense”, which are clearly interchangeable in this context, your thoughts on the statement itself would change? That feels like a semantic misinterpretation on your part, but I won’t belabor the point arguing semantics. Exactly. My pre-coffee grammatical misfire!

I wouldn’t call that a significant subtraction "Significant" in that he was a starter.

Stevens has really crushed it as a GM. Smart and Time Lord been hurt. Grant has been bad and got moved. Schroder got moved. Everyone seems to love the minor trades they made at the deadline for a team with the best record in the NBA. I don't know what's going on with Brogdon, but looking at his numbers his shooting attempts are up and his percentages are down. Re Brogdon - Cs may have gotten the best out of him last year - though reports are he was disgruntled. Probably this year too. Stevens has been absolutely magical!

The comparison between the checklist and writeups of the Red Sox and Tigers is amusing. There are quite a few Ds, and at least one F!

Weird game - 14 turnovers, to the line only 9 times to Atlanta's 20. But - a win is a win is a win is....

Baffling that they are 27 for 34 from 2, yet they would take so many threes - they are only 9 for 30.

Tatum having one of those weird games - careless, 5 for 14 shooting including 1 for 9 from threes, 3 turnovers, 0 plus/minus. I hope he can find some sort of effectiveness in the time remaining.

Tatum is a 3 chucker rather than a bucket driver tonight so far.
