What’s more likely: Hayes carrying a >.650 OPS into July or the #Reds attaching a prospect to him in a deadline deal to get off that contract?

I’m trying to avoid early-season overreactions but one thing I’m pretty sure of: they need to start thinking about who’s going to share 3B duties with Geno later this season, because it won’t be Hayes (unless the contract comes into play). What a goofy trade that was. #Reds

Big takeaway from Game 1: the #Reds are not using their ABS challenges enough

Skenes is 6'6, 260. The average person probably isn't *blocking* him either.
Trent Attyah@BookitWithTrent
Would you say the average person has a better chance of attempting to block Myles Garrett given 20 attempts or making fair contact off Paul Skenes on 20 pitches?

What percentage of ESPN analysts are paid propagandists? Orlovsky and Ty Simpson are represented by the same agency.
Simpson may very well be the better pro prospect over Mendoza, but how can we take Dan seriously when he's incentivized to support one over the other?

Dan Orlovsky says he texted 12–15 GMs/decision-makers that Alabama QB Ty Simpson is the best QB in the draft, and only 2 disagreed. (🎥 @PatMcAfeeShow)

There are too many chronic health issues on this team. And it's been that way for too long. When is the club going to go in a different direction with its training staff?

Reds’ Lodolo (blister) played light catch for maybe 15-20 throws this afternoon. Francona, trainer, front office officials convened after. Lodolo said he didn’t know what plan would be. Said it was OK but didn’t sound particularly enthused. Team says “working on it.” IL in play.

Some bold #Reds predictions
- Will Benson outperforms Noelvi Marte
- 5 RPs have 3+ SVs (only Pagan + Santillan had more than 1 last year)
- Elly has >30 SBs, McLain has >20… Sal Stewart is the only other player who has 10+
- *Nick Lodolo* is a rock for an injured rotation

I have a theory that the subscription-based prospect outlets intentionally overrate Yankees prospects to drive up subs and revenue. This happens with BOS, LAD, and a few others too. Large, passionate fan bases equal more potential customers.

Jasson Domínguez optioned to Triple-A by the Yankees.

Yeah... I think we're in the end times.

The year is 2026, -Nebraska (basketball) won an NCAA Tournament game -Indiana (basketball) missed the NCAA Tournament for the 3rd straight year -Nebraska (football) hasn't beat an AP Top 25 team in a decade -Indiana (football) went 16-0

I'm sure the players are against this and I get it, but this is probably the optimal strategy with all the data available these days.

The Mets have been experimenting in spring training games with calling pitches from the dugout. espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…

Modern basketball apologists and 15-20 year olds, explaining how 5-7 steps with no dribble is not traveling:

They aren't clueless. They're doing what they're told. Adam Silver is the problem.

Why are so many blasting SGA when it’s the apparently clueless refs who let him, and others, get away with it? You think players weren’t trying to draw phony fouls 70 years ago?

Hard to imagine Indiana moving on from DeVries after one year, but if they did I think you make two calls:
1) Brad Stevens - yes he’s front office but a former successful college coach, from Indiana
2) Dusty May - former IU manager, has had some early success in current job
