@YeaDukee @smit73623 @newyorkgrooovee Okay, well I'm sorry for assuming that when you replied to my tweet you were idk commenting on my take and not just making a completely different observation.

Duke creates this whiteboard material every big game. They got the 5 star recruits, top 5 picks, alumni in the media shilling for them, & each year are told how great Duke is. Despite all of it, they paint themselves as this team nobody believes in. You’re not the underdogs. #SJUBB

From what I’m hearing, Duke has NO CHANCE versus St John’s on Friday. It’s like the 2010 Elite 8 versus Baylor all over again. St John’s is older. They’re more athletic. They’re tougher. They play more physical. They’re healthier.

@YeaDukee @smit73623 @newyorkgrooovee Idk why Duke fans in particular have such a problem with this. No one is saying the Johnnies are favored. No one is saying Duke doesn't stand a chance. When we discuss sports in America we almost always do it in the context of "here's how the underdog may surprise us."

@YeaDukee @smit73623 @newyorkgrooovee Did you want the broadcast to say "Duke poses a threat against Siena." No, that's silly. That phrasing is used for the underdog. Words have meaning. Duke is the favorite so we dont explain why they "pose a threat." There's no shortage of discussion of Duke's strengths.

@kailynschofield I had no problem with trading Sproat in general. I think we overpaid to rent Peralta though. I think Freddy is good and I'm excited to have him, I don't think he's a true ace. And giving up Sproat and Jett is a lot. I hope I'm wrong and Peralta blows me away and stays long term.

@Manach_38 when you have 3 rookie pitchers who are all in line to play significant time, you have to take the risk and let one go sometimes to get a frontline starter. It’s great to have strong prospects that can break camp, but you also have to use them to your advantage in trades imo

@kailynschofield Fair, but I don't consider it prospect hugging when Sproat and Jett were both in line to play significant time in the bigs this year. If Peralta signs an extension that changes things for me a bit, but Stearns has never given out long term deals to pitchers so it seems unlikely.

@Manach_38 can’t prospect hug forever unfort. Gotta take the risk and be willing to shell out a contract to Freddy 🤷‍♀️

@smit73623 @newyorkgrooovee Yes because when a team is heavily favored it's pretty rare for the talking points to be about how they may beat their opponent. When we say a team "poses a problem" we are talking about the underdog 99% of the time.

@newyorkgrooovee The narrative of these debates is how St. John’s poses problems for Duke. No one is talking about how Duke poses problems for St. John’s. That’s the difference I’m seeing and it’s rather noticeable when you scan the various conversations about this game in the media.

@Pcrawjr @emmma_camp_ Go watch Come From Away, 25th Hour, American Folk, and Worth. Go listen to The Rising, Into The Fire, and Skylines and Turnstiles. Just because you haven't experienced the art doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It seems like you're not actually seeking it out.

@emmma_camp_ Of course not. No great art about 9/11 for that matter. Our literary soul is no more.

Question for the group: has there been any great art about Covid? Any incredible literary novels or films? I can't think of anything off the top of my head but my cultural knowledge is not limitless.

They do it in the sun. They do it under the stars. They do it in biting April chill and punishing August heat. Baseball is enmeshed with – and an expression of – the season. And they play every day. The game is part of the daily routine. It is life, from April through October.

why does baseball seem so much more romantic than hockey to me maybe it’s because they do it in the sun

@BenchwarmerBran No, I think this might be the only thing you can say after a blowout like that. "Our opponent is so good everyone else is playing for second place and it's not fair we keep getting robbed of a chance at second." Perfectly acceptable crash out when facing a dynasty like UConn
