Not really watching this, although it is kinda funny people are up in arms because guys major leaguers like Trayce Thompson get to play for different countries (in his case Great Britain since his dad was born in the Bahamas) and it is such a farce. Whatevs.
The only thing noteworthy to come out of this is Edwin Diaz tearing his patellar tendon celebrating his win as part of Team Puerto Rico in their win over the DR. As stupid baseball celebrations go, it wasn’t as dumb as your usual major league strip off the jersey and douse the guy with water, but . . . .
Oooops.
At least he wasn’t separating frozen hamburger patties with a knife or playing with his kids a la Jeremy Affeldt. Still and all, I’m not really paying much attention to this as it is filled with guys who will never see the light of the majors scattered around the various major leaguers who snuck onto some of these squads. But, the Mets are screwed as their closer hits the shelf for the entire season. Not sure why they decided to play this tourney right in the middle of spring training, but that ain’t my call.
Than again, baseball runs from March to November so, when else? Maybe do it in Australia in December.
Other than that, love the Javon Hargrave signing. Bummed we lost Moseley and Ebukam, but we have so many free agents that we were bound to lose a few.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
I just look at the scores for the WBC. I know MLB wants to go international and maybe by doing this it gets some traction.
Tavarious Moore just jumped ship to GB. The feeding frenzy of FA is now just a trickle but it is still rolling along.
Yeah you’re always going to lose good players to F/A, but it’s what u do to keep the roster competitive thru out.Niners have 16 of 22 starters coming back I believe? They added another stud starter in DL Javon Hargrave,a solid player in the secondary in Oliver,a rotational high pick in Ferrel on the DL front,and even QB Darnold who played good down the stretch for the Panthers and all pieces add depth and added competition! I like what they have done so far..
I wish we didn’t lose a few of those players but things still should be pretty good this coming season. It’s gonna be all about the QB’s.
Altuve out with fractured thumb suffered in WBC, likely to miss couple months according to MLBTR. Opens up spot for Dubon maybe. I see fans on other sites lamenting Giants letting him go, but I didn’t care for him. MLBTR story rates him capable defensive replacement in IF…we’ll see. He never got one post season AB during Stros run to title last year.
I never cared that much for him either. He would flash some good stuff every once in while but overall I never expected him to do much. IIRC he was a terrible base runner. I could be thinking of someone else with that.
Dubon never moved the meter for me as well Willied.Giants didn’t know what position fit him best if there ever was one. Stupid base runner like the one we have now in Luis Gonzalez who u might of thought as Winder,but he hits better then Dubon ever will..
Yeah, he’s the Matt Duffy of our time. The catalyst for doom when he was traded if you listen to the right people.
Yeah, he was a space-head running the bases. never quite good enough to start, and a semi-decent to poor defensive replacement.
Don’t get the anst over getting rid of him.
And yeah, Gonzalez may be the same goofy-ass defender/baserunner, but he can hit the shit out if it at times.
Center Willis Reed dead at 80..
Never forget his gm 7 final in 1970 entering the arena with a badly bruised thigh/leg injury and leading the NY Knicks to the championship, he definitely was the deciding factor in that game..
Another one of Loo’s Legends I’m sure back in the hay days…RIP Willis Reed🙏🏀
Saw that. All the heroes are going. Right when I started getting into the Warriors as a kid.
Yeah, there was a time when I really liked the NBA and Reed was one of the greats. Wilt Chamberlin was my all time favorite but after him I really like Oscar Robertson. Whenever we played Cinci he always played us tough.
Always felt sorry for Jerry West, unable to beat Celts all those years. Loved that pull up J and practiced it a lot. The Logo!
As a dyed in the wool Warriors fan I never liked West as a kid. Thurmond, Barry, Mullins, Cassie Russell were my faves.
I never cared to much for any Laker but West always seemed to have a good game. He was a good player.
Story on cbs sports site has Reggie Jax saying Bud Selig blocked him from buying the A’s. Reg says he had big bucks backers at time, and team instead went to Lew Wolff. What a tool that guy was. I remember he tried to move them to Fremont at one point, then the failed deal for San Jose yada yada.
Lacob supposedly has standing offer out to Fisher for them. A’s fans can only hope.
Wow. Never heard that. Sure sucks for the A’s.
oh shoot log in problems again. Site can sure be weird sometimes.
Hmmm. Weird, I used to have a lot of problems, and on my phone I have to relog in every time I post, so I don’t use my phone to do this.
ah btw wordpress and clueless me…Funny thing is, I changed subscription to Chron digital, and have new email, but posts from phone still show old name.
#5 SAN Diego St advances to the Elite 8 by knocking off #1 seed Alabama 71-64 as they keep Dancing 💃🏻on!! Really physical game and the speed now of these players is mind boggling..
In the history of March Madness this is the only time EVER that all #1seeds have not advanced to the elite 8! I’ve been seeing the trends in parity getting closer every year when lower seeds knocking out higher seeds it’s what always makes College Madness better then NBA ball to watch, we’ll especially in March..I’m pretty stoked to have 2 teams left San Diego St and Texas Longhorns it’s been exciting…
I like the collage game better also. Thanks for sharing that stat.
Agreed. Better ball movement, real post players, pressure team defense yada yada. Aztecs are fun to watch, great W yesterday.
Nice game as Fla Atl takes out K-State.
New thread. Go Zags!!!!
