Man Crawford just absolutely stole one from Mookie there. I think we could beat either team honestly.

Unbelievable. He had a way better chance at tagging up on JDs fly ball If he had tagged up on JD’s, we might have a run there… He would have been out by a mile on the JD play.

imagine how stress free this win would have been had Whitlock just pitched the 8th and 9th Brasier just didn’t deliver. I don’t think it was a poor decision considering the workload.

Sorry, Pivetta is my Player of the Game. Absolutely, dude was electric! How can you not win when your pitcher displays that swagger?

Who's speculating? Those reports lay it out. The two of you were speculating about Stevens. This feels like Irving all over again, you shouldn't give players getting paid massive amounts of money a pass when they blow up teams. Chemistry and teamwork matter, heck it might be the most important thing in the NBA. A good coach like Stevens can make magic happen like 2018 and 2020. I just don’t get it, let's make up stuff on Stevens yet we shouldn't call out the players. Those reports don't lay out shit other than there was some tension. There's always some tension. Guys have massive egos. I do think the "Kyrie team" had some pretty noticeable locker room dysfunction, although I don't blame it on Kyrie by himself. He's an idiot, true, but that stuff is on everyone, including the coaches. Last year team just wasn't built very well, the roster had a lot of holes and din't maximize the talents of their best players. I get discussions about intangibles when a team undearchives, but considering the injuries and the overall talent pool, it's pretty clear that they didn't underachive last year at all.

Guesses on who starts game 4? THE ROBLENATOR! No, seriously, no way that's not a bullpen game now, right?

Matt Barnes getting 3 outs there had to be one of the most beautiful things I ever watched in a baseball game. He had nothing, he couldn't find the zone and somehow he didn't give up a run. Respect my man!
Anyway, very entertaining game to watch! Houck is an absolute MONSTER.

There's no need to be speculating on that. We can't pinpoint the team's shortcomings perpetually at "locker room dysfunction" and we especially shouldn't do that laying the fault at a player who's not even here anymore. Kemba just didn't make sense for this roster, he's an undersized score first ball dominant guard. And you have 2 of the best wings in the NBA next to him being relegated to ISO or pop up Js. That was not the optimal way to maximize them.

You know who might be guilty of coming up small? Kimbrel. Benintendi absolutely saved his ass from living forever in Red Sox infamy.

If Race matters you're part of the problem in my book. I can see being a former player mattering to certain people, yet history has shown non players can be all time great coaches. So that sounds like a me problem. It should be we need the right coach for this team. It's simply Steven's lost the team and the whole Irving then Walker issues didn't make it easy. I hate when people bring race into, I mean the coach before Stevens was Doc Rivers for years. Like OMG imagine a white player saying we need a white coach. I don't think that's quite what RJP meant. I don't think the point is that Brad didn't have a good relationship with any of his players, or that they didn't listen to him or anything like that. The thing, this is a very specific and very personal detail about a player's game and there's so little in common between Brad and Tatum that it makes it harder for them to connect here. I mean, LEBRON JAMES does this, there's only so much a coach can push for his player to stop doing it.

Maybe because of the trajectory? Note that Stanton's first inning Moonshot "HR" isn't on the list. That plays a part, but I think what made it really impressive was the mix of high, violent fastball being met with a compact and stout swing. The sound it made was glorious.

I don’t like playing the race card but young, little white dude that’s never played high level basketball is going to have a tough time in this area. Why a guy like Ime was a necessary hire. Agreed and I mean look at Brad. He couldn't fight a squirrel. Now Ime looks like a badass and he played some hard nosed game. If he tells you to do something, you BETTER do it.

This is kind of an insane amount of hard hit balls in a 6-2 game. Schwarber's HR was one of the purest hits I saw this season. It came out of his bat like it would do some Looney Tunes stuff and go around the globe before it landed. It was like a perfect haymaker that lands square in the chin. I'm surprised the ev wasn't higher, it felt like an absolute BOMB in action.
