Going to be a very exciting playoffs year....lots of traditional powers are having down years, some by any standards and some by their standards. Teams like Hoban and Marion Local looking more beatable than they have previously. Some format changes (48 per division get in as opposed to 64)...

From the sounds of it, they declined to participate for whatever reason. They ended up agreeing to host Oklahoma the night before the duals start.

Apparently Jose Ramirez wanted him in the clubhouse, so I don't mind keeping that man happy. I think the Naylor trade was the right one....one year of Naylor versus 6 for Cecconi. We weren't going to pay him, so we were going to lose him, and not even get the high comp pick in return.

Let's see who is closest to the MLB announcement date....I'll go with Black Friday...after the World Series, before the winter meetings, Friday afternoon news dump on a holiday weekend? Makes too much sense! And in other news....Hedges back for $4M. I mean, if Fry can catch some next year, it...

I agree on no announcement until shortly after the World Series - spaces it out between the winter meetings. I don't think there is any hope that all of this is incorrect through, as far as the allegations. You don't remove a #3 starter and All-Star closer for 3 months and then say whoops, not...

It is pathetic that the Ohtani investigation took 3 weeks and we are now on 3 months for Clase/Ortiz, during a playoff chase.... I think it's more likely than not that they are both suspended for life, even if the evidence isn't a slam dunk, to be a hopeful deterrent for others.

Going to be an interesting offseason....I'll vomit my thoughts below. I think it's more likely than not that Kwan is traded this offseason since he's entering his 2nd last year of team control. You can write off his poor 2nd half to his wrist injury, but can't risk him getting hurt next year...

Twins, Tigers, and Rangers left With Texas being eliminated by that last series, things are shaping up pretty favorably for the good guys...

First of two matchups with Bye this season, rare but you see some other bizarre ones like Wazzu vs Oregon State/Fake OSU twice this year as well. Perfectly timed bye week. It should be easy for the staff to find what to work on and keep the team engaged through the two weeks as I'm sure they...

I'm with you - just swap who was 1st and 3rd on the depth charts. Very long season, especially as a true freshman, so we're going to need to bring him along slowly. No reason all 3 guys shouldn't rack up carries. If he can get his pass pro up I'll feel a bit better.

2nd lawsuit came this week https://www.wkyc.com/article/sports/high-school/hs-football/ursuline-high-school-cancels-football-season-accusations-hazing-abuse-players-federal-lawsuits/95-2e4e167f-774d-4e84-8cd9-c55535f8e650 Season cancelled - heads already rolling and will only continue.

Some of the young starters have really shown well this year (except you, Bibee....). I'm interested to see how things shake out next year, who might be on the trading block in the offseason. Gavin Williams Tanner Bibee Slade Cecconi Joey Cantillo Parker Messick John Means ($6M team option for...

Golesh & Sumrall are going to be two monster head coaches in the P5 soon.

Truly mind boggling how far St. Ignatius has fallen after Chuck Kyle's retirement. In the last 2+ years they are 4-22, with this year sitting at 0-3. Being from Cleveland, I don't know as much about Colerain but them also being 0-3 and being outscored so far 112-2 is pathetic no matter who you...

Jesus Christ I'm almost 40 and I always hear hazing isn't bad as it used to be, it was worse back in the day......I never saw or heard anything remotely close to this. This wasn't hazing, these were attacks. I unfortunately know one of the families named and when I saw Ursuline and 'hazing' I...
