Maybe @phelpspicked the wrong Japanese transfer? :p Kodai Senga had a shaky first inning in MLB but settled for 8 K after that in Mets' 5-1 win over Marlins.

 

 

 

 

obviously...

 

but he was a late pick, when Senga wasn't available anymore.

 

my top pitchers are Cole, De Grom :facepalm: and Fried (already in IL :hairpull:) among the starters and Hader among the relievers.

 

Pablo Lopez and Tyler Anderson are the 2 that saved me from the absolute disaster so far...

Yeah, there are only a handful of SP who really sustain top level for several years in a row. I do have a feeling there's a biger group of guys who have one or two great seasons and then tail off yet carry a reputation of being great for a while (without me looking at this WAR stats or whatever the analytics say). Betting on deGrom at this stage is 50/50...

The Twins really might go 162-0! This team is playing out of their minds!

 

But, as is the norm with Minnesota sports teams, rile up the fans during the regular season and then embarrass yourself like sitting on a whoopee coushion at a formal event during the playoffs.

 

But I am happy for now!

Even a Yordan Alvarez Grand Slam can't stop the Twins who beat Astros 9-6 :p

 

Rays still unbeaten at 7-0, Brewers at 6-1 the second best team through the first week. Angels lead AL West despite losing the home opener to Blue Jays yesterday (in vintage Angels fashion, only Trout & Ohtani with hits and the bullpen sucks).

Going 10-0 in the MLB to begin a season is remarkable and should be celebrated, but just look at the teams that Tampa has played.

 

Detroit - 2022: 66-96 / 2023: 2-7

Washington - 2022: 55-107 / 2023: 3-7

Oakland - 2022: 60-102 / 2023: 2-7

 

Now playing Boston (below .500 in 2022 as well).

 

Plus, 10 of their first 13 games are home games.

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
