Nashville Predators draft D Cameron Reid 21st overall

The Preds traded the 23rd and 67th picks to the Ottawa Senators to move up and draft 21st, where they selected defender Cameron Reid, who may have fallen a little to get there — many scouting reports had him ranked a few places higher. Reid spent the last two seasons with the Kitchener Rangers, scoring 21 points (2G/21A) in 43 games in the first of those seasons and 54 points (14G/40A) in 67 games this year, where he was also awarded an A for the team. The scouting report at ElitePro...

Monday Quickie - closing in

 on the worst "trying" team in baseball The Rockies, despite sweeping the Nats, are historically bad.  They are on pace for 37 wins.  There literally should be calls from the game to replace the owner because things are so non-competitive in Denver.  The White Sox are in a similar spot, Reinsdorf aging into a worse version of himself as owner often do stuck with a "back in my day we didn't pay players so much" mentality, trying to squeeze every last dollar from the team for...

Update : Fire Davey Quicker

And Fire Rizzo.  And Sell the Team     Look I've been an advocate for Rizzo, who can deal with the best of them, and is perfectly acceptable at IDing long range contract targets (some bomb, some work out - that's just how it goes). But sticking by Davey here isn't about results or Davey's proven track record with kids (which doesn't exist), it's about keeping a guy who doesn't complain about the roster at all and works quietly with whatever he's given.  Rizzo bombed in...

Schadenfreude 361 (A Continuing Series)

The Red Sox have a 10-5 record in the month of June, with five of those 10 victories against the Yankees. June 7: Red Sox 10, MFY 7 June 8: Red Sox 11, MFY 7 June 13: Red Sox 2, MFY 1 (10) June 14: Red Sox 4, MFY 3 June 15: Red Sox 2, MFY 0 The 2-0 shutout on Father's Day turned the MFY bats into wet noodles. With subsequent losses to the Angels, 1-0 (11) and 4-0, the Yankees have not scored a run in their last 29 innings. As you can see below, that's a grand total of four runs in their last f...

Monday Quickie - Fire Davey

Fire Davey.   The man can't help but blame the players and I don't want that type of guy leading this team.  Maybe a veteran team can ignore him or maybe he wouldn't dare anger those guys, but this isn't a veteran team. It's a team of kids and they need someone to support and shield them.   There are numerous reasons to fire the guy. His behavior this weekend pushes that all aside to get to number 1. Even if you landed on "well he won the series and changing the manage...

WTF: Rafael Devers Traded To Giants

The Boston Red Sox traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday in exchange for pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison and a pair of prospects (outfielder James Tibbs III and pitcher Jose Bello). The teams had been discussing a Devers deal for the past few weeks. Devers, in his ninth season with the club, had been the last member of the 2018 World Champions still in a Boston uniform. He's also in the second year of a 10-year, $313.5 million contract. Initial news of the trade st...

Slow fade

 Are we talking about this blog or the Nats? Hey yo!  After the nice run that ended with a sweep of Arizona the Nats have played, as we've gone over before, like you'd expect a 75 win team to play.  Competitive enough that you would be surprised at them being swept in two straight series. Not good enough that you'd really expect them to win two straight series against better teams.  And there are a fair number of better teams.  The dregs of the NL remain the dregs, the...

These kids aren't alright

This doesn't have anything to do with the Cubs series. 1 of 3 from the Cubs is what should be expected and seeing Gore look like an ace again is great. However, we are in the "stats are real now" part of the season and last time we looked at the kids whose stats said real good things about them. CJ Abrams continues to be cool but I noted his propensity for extended cold streaks was keeping him from being special. That's not the point, he's still overall good. The only one with a real issue out...

Monday Quickie : Hey hey!

 I'm thankful for a lot but I'm very thankful today that the Nats team is winning in strong fashion and not sneaking out close wins because if there's one thing that I hate (and as you can probably tell there are many) it's the trite re-use of the "Cardiac" nickname for any team of young players (Cardiac Kids!) or whose name slightly allows it because of a similar sound (CardiAc NAts!). That isn't happening here. I can breathe.   I'm also thankful for a great weekend of Nats bas...

Confessions of a Polluted Mindset - No Laundering Needed

My source inside the Vikings organization tell me the Vikings saved some money this week by not needing to have Sam Darnold's jersey laundered. Look, I watched a lot of Sam Darnold when he played for the Jets. I liked him coming out of college and would always tell my Giants fans friends that he would be a better quarterback than Daniel Jones. He has a strong and accurate arm when he can comfortably step into throws, When he's under pressure is when it all falls apart and the interceptions and...
