After that spill at Laurel, Carlos Lopez should be suspended for at least 6 months for careless riding. He is lucky that he didn’t paralyze or kill someone.

Why is everyone acting like the Ortiz allegations are new?

Confirming what @JonHeyman reported: Tarik Skubal is lightly tossing two weeks after having surgery to remove a bone chip from his left elbow.

@EmilyOptixEQ Wasn’t the response I was really expecting. Doesn’t happen much, but you got me, I’ve got nothing.

@DirtyMoMedia @FreddieKraft I just looked on Ticketmaster it looks about 70-75% sold out. Lots of open seats in every section but the majority are sold.

Does the All-Star format stink? Probably. But I’ve been saying it since I saw this schedule change. We need you awesome Northeast fans to show up in big numbers this weekend. Dover is a badass race track, but I’m worried about the Monsters future without asses in the seats.

Two of the most bizarre barriers to entry that North American horse racing has created is: 1. Fractional odds. If any sane human looks up at a board and sees 2.5 it’s pretty easy to say “put a dollar on that horse and that’s what you get back if it wins”…instead we put up 6/4 and expect new players to understand it right away. Why? 2. Not making every payout in every bet type on every ADW to a $1 standard. Why are some $2 or $0.50 and some $1? Just silly.
Billy Ward@Psychoward586

American odds are the imperial system of gambling: way less intuitive/useful but we're all used to it and too lazy to change. Fractional odds are like using stone for weight and cubits for distance, just totally inscrutable to 99% of the world

I've already suggested that your criticism is fundamentally sound, but not very important. What percentage of those students do you imagine would not return because they find 5/2 and 9/5 to be baffling? There are vastly more complex aspects to betting and handicapping that require some effort to understand.

@byronrogers73 @Tinky47flat @PMBY89 Horse Racing is incapable of walking and chewing gum at the same time. This is why they refuse to fix an awful betting product and instead continue to try to attract new customers

@byronrogers73 @Tinky47flat @PMBY89 In baseball batting average is .250, do you really think it should be changed to 25% so morons can understand it? 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe an asterisk with the definition: batting average is determined by dividing a player's hits by his total at-bats

@Tinky47flat @PMBY89 Probably not hugely meaningful compared to other factors… but if you’re creating a barrier for new people to easily get involved and bet and your existing population is dying off 🤷‍♂️

@AlCimaglia I think the broken foot really set him back. I was expecting him to comeback to MSU for a second year but it didn’t happen It reminds me a little of Victor Hedman. He was a 2nd round pick and didn’t really hit his stride until he was 23

@GateToWire Sure seems like it… Sometimes a kid doesn’t want to stay in school. I think that was the case with Nick Leddy… it worked for him but another level of coaching was here back then.

If a player gets thrown into the deep end, there needs to be support for him to survive. Hawk fans frustration turns to #55, who better have a very high confidence level because the (-41) of this season could be tough to overcome. The reality is the Hawks haven't been, or are good now at developing young players. Why did Lev play almost 20 mins a game this season? Why did he leave MSU after only 38 games? Why was there a need to pull him out of the lineup to attend an on ice tutorial on fundamentals during the season? I won't question why he was taken 2nd. If he was rated 2nd on their board so be it, and he was a Dman which usually carries more weight. He has been in the States for a while and his English isn't good at all. Why hasn't improving his fluency been a focus? You can blame the player for not being what he was assumed to be...Better to get real and start questioning the decisions of the Front Office and the coaching staff.

@seanshapiro The Friday/Saturday NCAA schedule for games really allows for training that would not be possible if the schedule was more randomized

Porter Martone's year at Michigan State came with intention in the weight room. He gained 12 pounds, lost 3 percent body fat and became NHL ready. I caught up with Will Morlock about how it happened and why it's an ideal case study for other CHLers. shapshotshockey.com/p/how-michigan…

@scottcwheeler Watching college hockey this year I really think the CHL and the NCAA complement each other. For certain players Junior is a better development step, for others it’s college.
