@TimKellySports I can name 15 pitchers, probably more, that I’d rather have over a guy who’s made 8 MLB appearances.

The great part about the WBC is that it’s on at a time when there isn’t good baseball being played. It is perfect as is. I don’t get the obsession with moving it to the All-Star Break.
Bob Nightengale@BNightengale
Mark DeRosa believes every player would volunteer to play in the WBC if it’s moved to the All Star break. ‘They would be more prepared and more dialed in, and we'd be dealing with way less restrictions and way less guidelines on the pitching if it was moved to midseason. No question about it.’

@CanesStats Has nothing to do with the players. Might as well ban the US too while we’re at it.
No wonder Canestwt thinks you’re so weird. Shut the fuck up.

It's almost impressive how Bucci continues to have the most braindead takes on hockey Twitter.
Russia waging a war against Ukraine where they've killed hundreds of thousands of people, and it's a slap in the face because they can't play hockey. Shut the fuck up.
BucciOT.Com@Buccigross
Russia should be among the 8 teams. Undoubtedly. Russian players decorate the NHL with their skill and commitment. To deny them is a slap in the face to players Nikita Kucherov who dedicate their lives to improving their skill level--at their benefit, yes--and thus enhances the entertainment value of the sport. Be above the sanctimonious and filth-muck of politics and politicians--the dregs of the earth. We are watching a hockey tournament.

Gunnar Henderson’s home-run with Coldplay in the background is pure cinema 🥹

@andrewpaleogos @InterJoosh @thats_bb_suzyn Glad this soft, crybaby way of thinking is almost extinct from the sport. Grow up
English
@InterJoosh @thats_bb_suzyn Don't show pitcher up or you get drilled. Way the game was played forever.

The bat flip debate is so dumb.
The WBC is an *international* tournament. And different countries have different baseball cultures.
🇰🇷 In the KBO, bat flipping is part of the game, and considered an art form in its own right.
🇯🇵 NPB pitchers tip their hat and bow after giving up a home run. If they don’t, its considered disrespectful to the hitter.
🇺🇸 MLB has a more “professional” culture, like Japan. Lot’s of unwritten rules that emphasize humility and sportsmanship.
🇩🇴🇵🇷🇨🇺 The Caribbean Leagues are by far the loudest and most “extra.” Bat flips, excessive celebrations, etc.
We should be embracing these differences.
Jordan Moore@iJordanMoore
It’s so refreshing when players hit a home run, do a subtle bat flip and act like they’ve been there before. This is so much more tuff than doing jumping jacks and euro steps around the bases.
English
@AnnieAgar As a Saints fan this warms my heart. They are experiencing the same pain we went through when we signed Derek Carr lol
Falcons tried the Kirk Cousins experiment and now its Tua's turn 😂
English
falcons twitter is by far the funniest place on earth they do not want tua man😂😂

Let me break down the Braves TV streaming options:
1) If you live out of the Braves market, nothing really changes. You can either get MLB TV for $150 and still stream Braves games and most games for other teams. Or if you only care about the Braves, just get Braves TV for $99

@RyanHenkel_ @CaniacChic It’d be cool if they actually did it over the summer
2C has been a weakness for years now. Sorry, but spare me the “that’s what summer is for.” How many summers have they had this weakness without addressing it? Too many.
English
Truth of the matter is that there weren't any legit upgrades available on the market this year.
None of the players acquired these past few days are big difference makers.
It's very rare that you find the pieces to push you over the top at the deadline. That's a summer job.

@M_Griff10 @pawgcheekedup @TuckerBlanc I think we all agree getting tougher is a need.
Where we disagree is how he fills the need. He will hardly play, so he doesn’t fill it
English
English
Hahaha, exactly what don’t need
David Pagnotta@TheFourthPeriod
Sounds like the Carolina Hurricanes are working on a move for a bottom-six forward.
English
@hrules1997 @here4stacksale @robwinborn @corylav Just don’t see who he dresses over is the problem. Unless they play him out of position
English

Physical addition. Someone Brind’Amour has wanted in the past.
Elliotte Friedman@FriedgeHNIC
Nik Deslauriers to Carolina
English
@M_Griff10 @TuckerBlanc He’ll barely play if at all. Just a depth move if someone gets hurt
English
@TuckerBlanc Bullshit. Deslauriers is one of the toughest dudes in the league. Needed.
English
@hurricanesiren @ZachCaniac Canes have done a great job of stacking picks/prospects while also building a young core
If we have to overpay to plug a hole that’s plagued this team for years, then do it imo
If it’s Trocheck or nothing, then overpay. Otherwise we are accepting the same playoff fate as always
English
@ZachCaniac Trocheck is not the player you overpay for.
English
Hot take:
Now IS THE TIME to overpay for a player like Trocheck to solidify the top 6
English
@RealSFDynasty @TuckerBlanc Yes we’re all aware that the Hurricanes are regular season darlings.
None of that changes what this team’s current ceiling is, and we’ve seen it in the postseason the past several years.
English
@TuckerBlanc To be fair we have a .705 win % since Jan 1 which is best in the NHL, and I think we pretty much fly under the radar for how good we actually are despite the flaws.
I think we absolutely should make a move but I also think it should be for a needle mover at that point.
English
Don’t fall for the usual suspects trying to convince you the Canes are actually unbeatable at 3:05 this afternoon and that centers actually don’t matter.
English
@Jonny1622000 @TurkStevens @NYRChip23 Whatever “went wrong” with Team USA had nothing to do with Fox. USA had the best defense in the Olympics
And Guerin brought two Rangers who many said shouldn’t have been there (myself included), and those two were the main reasons why USA was 100% on the PK
English
@TurkStevens @NYRChip23 Yes they matter but ignoring what went wrong along the way and choosing not to adapt is also moronic. Both can be true.

@MarkZinno @CarasikS It’s only bad optics if you don’t understand how guaranteed money works
English
@CarasikS Back to the violence against women point. Not the same as Vick. Although animals may be just as bad. Also different climate in NFL now. Just agree it’s bad optics. No need to get in the minutiae here.
English
The difference is Pearce has a fully guaranteed contract and coaches aren’t guaranteed any money at all. Especially not assistant DL coaches.
They have to let the legal process play out to void guarantees and claw back signing bonus.
If there’s any question of optics, switch to looking to the finances. And it makes all the sense in the world.
As the Wu Tang Clan once said, “Cash Rules Everything Around Me.” #DirtyBirds #NFL
Mark Zinno@MarkZinno
The. #Falcons have just announced that the had fired LaTroy Lewis. This is an interesting move considering the James Pearce, Jr. situation - which they are clearly allowing to play out in legal terms. The inconsistency in dismissing Lewis immediately and not Pearce is notable here. There is also a difference between a player and a coach. But there should NOT be a difference with anyone when it comes to violence against women. Period. Bad optics for the Falcons.
