Don't hold your breath waiting for someone to call CD a chucker. There is a reason he holds the best career free throw percentage in Wake Forest history. He could get his own shot and he made them despite being the defensive focus of every opponent. There is a reason his number was retired...

This is the big PG that Forbes has been waiting to appear. Forbes is the coach that Hoggard needs to showcase his abilities for the NBA.

Neris is a one pack closer. He has to use precision and guile because he doesn't get much swing and miss. Assad shows like an ace. He has a plan, he executes it and he doesn't rattle. Last step is for Counsell to trust him the third time thru the order. Watching Verlander was a treat...

The loss did not help the team secure home field advantage during the post season. It hurt their chances. The fact that Walter made a statement critical of their effort and their fundamentals is a measure of their poor performance. If this group of players believes their abilities can be...

Injuries are starting to mount. Two of the best hitters and three projected starters are on the IL. Their replacements are all from the minor league system and have shown flashes they are ready. Canario, Busch, Mervis and PCA should get the PT to make statements. Wesneski, Brown and Thompson...

If Trump is truly judged by jury of HIS peers, the jury is going to be a colorful cast of New York characters.

Hendricks to IL (back) and Smiley to IL (hip). Garret Cooper DFA. Matt Mervis, Luke Little and Hayden Wesneski recalled from Iowa. I like the commitment to youth. Hope it works.

Alzolay with a decent inning and Hector Neris with a save as the closer. Hector has the experience but there is plenty of wear on that arm. I wonder how long Counsell will go before removing Hendricks from the rotation? Brown pitching relief for Kyle was aggravating. I imagine Kyle gets...

The cult of Indiana basketball developed on the high school level with every school playing for one state championship. Kinda like having a few drinks to prepare for the party. I ended up in Indiana immediately after graduation from Wake. It did not take much to understand that Indiana...

Imanaga was a brain fart. They come with increasing frequency as you age. Wick has 11 starts since his call up last year. He has given up 3 earned runs or less in 9 of those starts. He's pitched 4 to six innings in 10 of his starts. He has a 4.70 ERA. He keeps the team in the game but he...

Shota Imanaga. Justin Steele. Jordan Wicks. Drew Smyly. All have started over the past two years. Luke Little. Brad Wieck. Drew Smyly. Relievers. You may have forgotten Wieck. He is at Iowa after two years of illness/injury. He finished 2021 by pitching 18 innings of scoreless relief...

I doubt the B1G or the SEC would agree to this idea. Maybe if all schools shared the revenue from the regular season and the 16 playoff teams shared the money from the playoffs, the big dogs from the past few years would see enough money to OK the idea. Given a choice, Georgia, Alabama. Ohio...

Cubs with an afternoon win to end the west coast trip with a 5-4 record. Good bounce back after the nightmare last night. Hayden Wesneski with four innings of one hit, no run relief gets the win and allows the bullpen to get two days off. A great performance with no sleep on short notice...

Taillon will get a start within a week. Someone on the staff will be displaced via option or injury. The starters will be reshuffled. The move won't be made until Taillon starts. Wisdom is ready to return to Chicago. His return is delayed until a decision can be made on who will go to Iowa...

Nick Kurtz on base percentage is a mirage. Most of the time he just touches each base on the way to home plate.

I haven't read the last 13 pages of this thread so this might have been covered. Forbes recruited to set up the 2024-25 season. He had a players with eligibility and without the option to transfer a second time without sitting out a season. The court system ruled that players could transfer...

Nico Hoerner decided not to let the Cubs be the Diamondbacks punching bag this evening. He scored the tying run in the top of the ninth from second base on a wild pitch. Never broke stride and took Arizona by surprise. In the 11th he drove in the winning run with a single to right. MVP...

Thanks for the video d23acs. That was an exclamation point by Holloway.

It's not unusual. For years the Wake media guide failed to list anything about the 5-21 season the basketball team endured in 1967-68. It wasn't until Bzdelick and Manning made 20 loss seasons commonplace that the nightmare of 67-68 was listed.

I think Holloway is all about the money. Forbes and Wake were a finalist for Holloway out of high school. Auburn stepped in at the last moment and Holloway committed. Got to be the $$$.
