  • Hey Dopes!

    Maybe before you bury Conforto in favor of Wade Jr., Wilmer, and Matos you should compare their Career OPS: Conforto 816. Wade Jr 762. Flores 760. Matos 661. Chapman 790. Soler 797.

  • Too many short segments

    Why can’t we get the full show posted rather than a bunch of 10-20 minutes segments. Also can we get less commercials in the middle of the interviews?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sam Amick of The Athletic recaps epic Spurs-Thunder Game 1 & his thoughts on GS roster for future
Q: Victor Wembanyama's dominance is forcing a broader rethink of how teams build rosters and approach the market for stars like Giannis or KD; how do you see this affecting the Yanis chase this summer?
Amick anticipates a robust market but notes that injuries and age complicate mega-contracts; teams will balance the allure of a potential title with long-term risk, while the lottery reform may alter how aggressively teams pursue top free agents depending on draft outcomes and cap dynamics.
Sam Amick of The Athletic recaps epic Spurs-Thunder Game 1 & his thoughts on GS roster for future
Q: What did you make of Steve Kerr's ultimate decision to come back and everything related to it, whether it was the process or the way he spoke about it after the fact?
Amick explains that the decision appeared to be the product of a thoughtful, collaborative process within the Warriors' front office, addressing internal dynamics and signaling a unified path forward, while highlighting Kerr's thoughtful leadership as a key factor in sustaining the team's culture.
Larry and Greg address why they are cranky about the 49ers and their cash reserves, plus Andy Baggarly on the woeful Giants
Q: What do you expect from Eldridge and how should the Giants balance development with winning now?
Baggs explains that the Eldridge situation is a tough balance between development and immediate impact, noting the club's attempt to spark the lineup while managing development time and maintaining clubhouse dynamics.
Larry and Greg address why they are cranky about the 49ers and their cash reserves, plus Andy Baggarly on the woeful Giants
Q: What's going on, Baggs? You got Silver and Krueger. How are you?
Baggs responds with a close Giants-centric analysis, detailing the balance between offense and pitching, and offering his take on the team's roster decisions and the need for more strategic moves as the season unfolds.
Jason Timpf of The Volume breaks down realistic targets for Golden State as Warriors look to improve in 2026
Q: All right, so final question from me then, how do they go about getting Kawhi? Whether they end up with LeBron and Kawhi is one thing, but what do you think would be the path if they wanted to get into that sweepstakes?
The pathway would rely on asset-light, high-relevance moves that can entice Kawhi and his camp, possibly leveraging cap room and a favorable trade package while offering a compelling role for Kawhi alongside Steph, with Clippers' hire and market dynamics also influencing the decision.
