@brooksmd Seeing the ball big right now, looks like. That pitch was a mistake and he knew it was a home run before he even hit it.

What's this I hear about Moose having the most home runs for a Royal before the All Star break with 23? The guy must be killing it.
@jayballer54 happy fourth man. I'm sorry to hear about your wife. Will be thinking about her and hope she pulls through.
I appreciate your focus and positively about Mitch. He passed the eye test for me last year as a guy that just needed to put on some off season muscle. Then I think @Kcmatt7 said people were talking about how he was looking pretty rough in practice and I scaled back expectations a bit. Your positivity is reminding me that on the big stage he competed and there's something to be said for that. I will be pulling for him and hope he's been hitting the hell out of the weight room. What's the word on that?
@wissox Yeah, no. :) You can have Victor Robles or Spencer Kieboom.
@DoubleDD :+1: thanks bud. I think we all know each other well enough to know when its time to cool it and move on. It's pretty great that we've been able to stay pretty democratic about it.
@globaljaybird aww man. Thanks bud. I'm sorry I've been coveting my neighbor's closer (Herrera). And that I've been just as salty about our Commander in Cheese. But at the end of the day, I'm glad for the salt, because we don't just posture on here. It's weird times we live in man, but I have good news. I did watch an O's broadcast the other day when the Nats weren't on. And I'm happy to say that it appears that the state of Maryland is stuck in the 90's. I became an adult in the 90's, so that'll always be my decade. I knew New Jersey was stuck in the 80's, but didn't realize that time had stopped it's forward march in Maryland sometime circa 1996. So I might just start watching a bit more of the Baltimore Oranges.
@KirkIsMyHinrich thanks for the month over month numbers. One day they will be sorry. I have no doubt.

@dylans I would love to play Michigan State twice or three times a year. That's Bill Self's toughening box!
My Nats' historically bad bullpen choked up another loss. Down 1-0, first pitch by Sammy Solis in the 9th to a guy on his MLB debut.. Dinger. Then our amazing offense, predictably, scores one in the bottom, down 2-1, bases loaded with 2 outs, Dusty decides it's our turn to have a guy on his MLB debut step up to the plate (?!?) And the kid works to a full count, then gets a pitch outside, but Yadier Molina stands up and pumps his fist before the ump makes the call and the ump calls it Strike 3! What a crock!
@mayjay Maybe all this consolidation is related to the contraction of the universe and it's just our perception that it is still expanding.
...The media wants a college power 5.
Donald Trump wants less checks and balances.
Walmart buys jet.com.
Amazon buys Whole Foods.
NBA stars want to be on one of a handful of teams that have a higher tier of talent...
Consolidate, consolidate, consolidate.
@Red.Rooster Thanks for the update. With the constant likes I think about you all the time, and I'm glad @Crimsonorblue22 had the good thought to ask and you gave us the scoop. You're a saint to like some of the garbage I/we post. You're not only a loving husband but you appear to love your fellow man, even on our bad days. Thanks for that. It softens the edges around here.
It just means that anytime LeBron is involved, everyone around him is dispensible, just another asset, even the other stars. I have no idea if he has a personality problem with him.
Why not build around Kyrie? LBJ and Love for PG and DJ in 3 way trade. Then get athletic 3 and D for first rounder.
- Kyrie
- JR
- Green / Roberson
- PG
- DJ
:trollface:
@BShark tigers and tigers and tigers. Oh my! :rolling_eyes:
Just realized LSU and Missouri are in same conference with same mascot. Smh
How are we going to top this?

Jackson most certainly would have been tradebait if he had gone to Boston. Phoenix seems a better place than Indiana or Utah. There's nothing to do in Utah! ;)

@mayjay Savage :)

@Texas-Hawk-10 I didn't see where they were shopping the #3 pick. If that's true then you're right.
@mayjay lol. well, you might have the "get worse" gene ;)
Also, on the flipside, maybe LA saw Josh as a threat and wanted him in the East, hoping Boston would take him.
Maybe the fact that that trade didn't happen supports the possibility that Josh and Phoenix had an understanding prior to his canceling the Celtics workout.
In retrospect LA should have traded down to the 4 and taken Ball there if they could get Phoenix to bite. Suns probably still would have taken Josh at the 2 spot and may have taken the trade had they not known the Celts would take Tatum.
@jaybate-1-0 i enjoy your recollection of a young Frank, because while I didn't have the same impressions exactly, I can remember the gaps in his game you mention and they were valid. I think I was so ready to believe in a press breaking phenom that I didn't let myself doubt at the time. And then as you said, Bill Self saw the extraordinary potential and coaxed it out of Frank.
And @KUSTEVE, you're a good fan for having that same kind of faith in Marcus' potential. I watched some highlights of Jacobs too yesterday and of the the two, you are right, it is possible that Garrett could be the match up nightmare.
The guy who was telling me about Amari Mason's dribbling said this when trying to quantify how good it is: "when you see a kid that can dribble that well at that young an age you know they're going to be good at it their whole lives. It's just a natural skill".
@jaybate-1.0 Good thought. With Mason I never had doubt about his dribbling. I was floored by how good it was in contrast to those that came before him. Decision making, yes, he needed some work.
Maybe... Maybe it's possible for Garrett to get better at dribbling but I don't know the comp. Can a 6'7 PG dribble well enough to beat good pressure? I think he has to have another guard that can help break pressure. Mason was able to dribble out of and through pressure if need be. I feel my argument here might have blinders on though. Maybe I'm not picturing what Garrett's ceiling could be. A better passing Tyshawn? Maybe quicker to peak form than Tyshawn as well?
@KUSTEVE fun watch. It was only one team but he did appear to dominate. My concern is that EJ did have good handles. He just didn't make good decisions with the ball with pressure on him. Its possible that Garrett has lesser handles but makes better decisions under pressure.
What happens when Garrett runs into an ultra quick backcourt like Michigan in 2013? If he's our best ball handler I think we are toast. It's going to be Devonte or Jacobs bringing it up in that situation. Garrett won't be the primary.
@KUSTEVE I like your high praise of the kid. My gut was that this kid was not going to play PG for us at his size, so where was he really going to get run? I just don't want to go back to Tyshawn / EJ brand of PG. Want to be able to handle pressure. But I need to ease up a bit. Watched his highlight films a bit more. He's got a nice 3 and can run a break. And I dig the attitude and work ethic. He can be a top notch 2 when Newman leaves.

Nothing new here. Seems they are insinuating that the Suns said something to Josh to change his mind... But just smoke.
@Crimsonorblue22 thanks for the reminder.
@Lulufulu Ahh, heading back before bball season. Yeah, lets do it! I' have a brother in Charlottesville that I never see enough of, so I'll see if I can find a time he's available to get together and then piggy back off that trip. Direct message me and we'll go from there.
Garrett seems like the best personality of the bunch.
Uhh yeah does the kitchen have like a Bunsen burner and fire extinguisher if I want to, like, "cook"?
I agree that it's glue, but I agree with @Kcmatt7. If people want to keep going with it, it hasn't gotten out of control.
Right on man. I'm in the west side of Richmond, not too far from you. I reached out to a KU watch party group a couple weeks ago and got on their mailing list. Might try to meet up with them for a game or two this year. Want to help me recruit some new board rats?
He's got Buddy Hield and Fox, two good kids. He's got two older short PGs to beat out on the roster in Collison and Lawson. I think the PT is there and the start of a younger core that Frank can help head up (assuming the front by office makes good decisions going forward).. Half the team is going to be younger than him. Maybe the dysfunction is a blessing in disguise if he gets a lot of PT.
nice Monte Morris pick #51.
I thought Thomas Bryant should have waited a year.
@jayballer54 Yeah I wished that was Frank, but like the Evans pick too.
It seems to me they can let go of Darren Collison and Ty Lawson. Both Frank's size. Not as good.
5) Sacramento Kings: De’Aaron Fox, PG, Kentucky
