Who cares? By your guys words, the game wasn't over because both teams were still playing hard. Henderson was going to make sure TH didn't score. TH is a big strong guy, so you have to foul him hard to make sure he doesn't score.

Your guys words? Did I say that? No, I said exactly the opposite. I agreed with you that TH should have been out of the game and it was over, and have said so at least twice. And most people have said the game was over, so way to take the opinion of the minority and blanket it across all who disagree with you.

And who cares? You cannot be serious. There is no point in fouling a guy hard with 14 seconds left in a decided game unless you're just upset and don't want them piling on. I understand that mindset, but it doesn't make it any less wrong.

It's one thing if the game is close and you want to make sure the guy doesn't score, but it doesn't matter in the situation that they were in.

Now to make myself clear, that foul is a bad one regardless of situation, but when you take the situation into account, it's much worse.

BTW, i also assume that every time you guys see a basketball player committ a hard foul, that was an intentional hard foul, that you feel he should be suspended.

This I disagree with. Not every intentional hard foul merits a suspension. But, if there is an intentional hard foul and the player fouled gets hurt, then it merits a suspension. Thats the risk you take when you foul somebody hard. If they get seriously hurt, you're gonna get burned.

I don't think anyone can disagree with that.

Anyone watching the Terps game saw a foul on Ibekwe where the defender committed a very hard foul that could have resulted in Ibekwe getting hurt...Do you know what happened to that defender? NOTHING!

Because it was a fast break and while it was a hard foul, you see that EVERY GAME in basketball. He was clearly going for the ball using his body...Henderson was clearly trying to foul Tyler hard no matter what the cost.. There's a huge difference, and if you don't see it, then you're just seeing it through Duke's eyes.

There's a difference between a play that could have resulted in injury and a play that did result in injury. And once again, game situation matters!

If TH didn't lose the ball in the air, Henderson would have been clearly going for the ball too.

Henderson's play did not look like a natural basketball move though.

BS!

He went up for the block, TH lost the ball and he changed his motion and ended up striking him.

This guy today, barely went for the ball, put his forearm in ibekwes chest and pushed him down. And Ibekwe did get hurt, he just didn't get a bloody nose.

He swung his arm way too violently for it to be a natural b-ball play, I've never seen that before. I didn't see the Ibekwe play, all I can say on that is situation and result of the play matters.

Both plays should be looked at the same...Reckless plays that were intentional hard fouls that could have resulted in an injury.

The fact that TH got a bloody nose should not matter.

Whose fault was it that TH got a bloody nose? The answer is Henderson, if you injure another player and it's your fault, you have to suffer the consequences. And once again, regardless of the injury aspect, they cannot be looked at the same considering the situation of the game. It's inexcusable to hard foul someone with 14 seconds left when the game is already decided. You can dismiss that all you want and you can say everyone who disagree's with you thought the game was in question(talk about BS), but the game situation is important. You just don't do that in that type of situation, that's common sense and a rule of good sportsmanship.

So, if TH had just gone down hard to the floor but not been hurt or get a bloody nose, then you would not think Henderson should be suspended?

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Good Lord, somewhere I lost track of this thread only to see it derailed into 10 others subjects. 1) Please keep on the subject of Jackson Holliday 2) My thoughts on Jackson Holliday's "Athleticism." First off, Holliday has very good speed, has made some very good plays defensively while on the move, and is playing professional baseball with the best in the world, that in in of itself makes him above average athletically. Now, saying that, he's not an extreme quick twitch guy and he doesn't have that explosive first step you'd typically want in a shortstop. That combined with his below average arm was why I pretty quickly concluded that shortstop would be a stretch for him without additional physical development.  3) The arm woes could very well be from him trying to improve his arm strength this offseason. I don't know what his routine was, but watching him lob balls around the infield tells me he was saving his arm and was kind of treating it with "kid gloves" which suggests he was not 100%. How much that has affected his hitting, I don't know, but his domination by major league pitchers was most likely not because of elbow discomfort. 4) I've said for awhile that Jackson Holliday is untouchable along with Basallo and Mayo, and I still think it would take a ton of a return that would include controllable players before I would consider moving him, but I'm starting to think he might be the guy that could get an impact return that I'd be willing to move.  Now why would I be willing to move him? Quite simply because I would have no issue with an infield of Mayo at 3B and Westburg at 2B. Now, before people overreact here and say I'm down on Holliday, I'm not. I still think he's going to end up a very high OBP hitter with some pop and would look very good on top of this lineup one day. At no point do you give him away and he's certainly not traded for just a rental for this year, but I would listen.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By now · Posted

      I agree this is the most questionable part of the Elias MO. Although it is hard to dispute results so far, unless you've already jumped ship following 5 losses.  Personally (as an armchair GM) I would have sold high on Hays, Mullins, Urias, to net some young arms. Borderline Santander and Mountcastle too (though their peak might be now vs. last year). Maybe even Cano after last year! But this is not only hindsight, it also overlooks whatever value chemistry, veteranosity, seniority, continuity, risk mgt., etc. hold in the mysteries of the Sigbot.

      Why not market Mateo as a SS to a Contender like the LAD/CLEV for an arm for this season?

      By Il BuonO · Posted

      Good point....have an embarrassment of riches in their system. It really is a testament to their scouting and development that they regularly have guys to "give away" when they want a supporting player to help their bench of all things.  So, then, Mateo as the headliner is not as farfetched as it seems for the right team and Dodgers could be the right team for him as well.

      By survivedc · Posted

      He may have prioritized a multi year solution, but if he also knew that even with those injuries the addition of Burnes would be part of a team sitting at .620 I bet he would have done it anyway.

      The obvious follow up question to Coby vs Gunnar in AAA is this? Could either one of them hit Trevor Bauer?

      Why not Chayce McDermott?

      By Il BuonO · Posted

      Evidence? There's not enough data to support the idea that a six-man rotation does anything more than give an extra day of rest to guys who should pitch more, not less. And I can arguably make the case that a four-man rotation was more successful back in the day AND there were less major arm injuries. I know I'm probably in the minority here, but that just means a lot of you are wrong!
