I thought it was pretty hilarious when there was an actual "huge trade" (Luca Doncic to the Lakers), there was literally zero warning from any of the industry "insiders".

About as useful as "Mock Drafts" in football. Why do I care what some idiot talking head predicts may happen? How is that even entertaining?

Haha, I almost mentioned that in my little rant. Mock drafts are less then useless. It’s one thing when it’s maybe the week leading up to the draft, but they bombard us with them year round now.

Devers now has 15 strikeouts in 19 at-bats. Tony Gwynn had 15 strikeouts for the SEASON in 1995 (535 at-bats).

It’s been 6 days and his OPS is nearly .900 now, so… we may have been premature.

4 for 4 tonight in a Red Sox rout. One bad week in a 26 week baseball season is usually not worth panicking over.
