There are very few that can follow all 400 baseball games a team plays in a season. But you don't really have to to enjoy the sport. Baseball is nice because it's that one constant that's on all summer long. Most times I'm too busy to catch the games, but it's always nice to have it as a fall back for when I'm not busy since it's on almost every day. Also nice to just be able to check a score at the end of the night when I get home or in the morning before work. I'm always a bit said when I have a free night and the Jays have the night off.

Historically, hockey is more exciting by far.... Minus the last 15 years of Fandom 😑😩😥 this year watching the world quilting championships may be more exiting than my beloved team.

I am greatly impressed

The pitch clock has made a BIG difference. Also, batters cannot step out of the batter’s box and can only call time once. It has helped a lot with folks like me who have shorter attention spans.

You follow the Sabres yet think BASEBALL is boring?

I won't lie, I actually think baseball is VERY boring. But.. I worked night shift the other night when the Tigers lost in the 15th and even I can admit that was high quality sports. Certainly more exciting than the Sabres (and that's sad to speak) I guess I'll pull for the jays and try and catch a bit more from this point out. Ain't no way I can even think of paying attention to regular season and it's 400 games 😂

Playoff baseball is killer

Puck battles has been the issue for years. They are soft, they quit on plays, they won't battle hard, they won't pay the price. It's not a coincidence that in Bruins discussions they often get to "Mittlestadt doesn't battle hard enough I'm worried about him" and he's actually getting better but is still the most Sabre like. Jokiharju seems to have grown a pair and that might be because he's playing beside Zadorov. To the last sentence would Geertson pummel Zadorov? Chara handled him in his old age. Zadorov isn't Chara, but he's younger and he fights pretty good: Zadorov holds his own against Olivier (who I think is the best fighter in the league): But Zadorov was smart. Why fight a loser fourth liner? The chirping was hilarious.

the most salient element however is that Adams deserves to be fired..so he should be fired. Even leaving aside the fact it could be reflective of a change of mindset for Terry, or that he could get lucky with a new hire, or that there literally can’t be someone worse - it at the very least shows some element of accountability. That this element is somehow underplayed well escapes me: THE BIGGEST issue with the sabres is lack of expectation and accountability. That’s what put them in this mess. People keep taking about culture - without a level of accountability that doesn’t exist. Adams is demonstrably bad so he deserves to be fired. “But will the new hire even be better? Terry sucks!” is an elementary level diversion. Of course Terry is the big bad. It does not change the fact that Adams deserves to be fired we learn at like age 5 that “two wrongs don’t make a right.” Avoiding firing Adams cause it “might not make a difference” is bottom of the barrel thinking. He doesn’t deserve to be GM.

Great post. People as a rule seem to have difficulty seeing nuance And this

This place is is so tired of us being right they’ve decided to paint us as the villain. I honestly just feel bad for the fans doing this

Fear

Good luck

In a word. Well done, Pimlach.

The issue is Tage doesn’t know any better. He could be that leader, but he developed in this mess and what he sees is normal to him. Same for Dahlin. We need a leader to come from the outside. Preferably with the coach and GM that made him a leader.

And that doesn’t solve anything

A change desperately needs to happen. Unfortunately there is a scenario where we end up with GM Jerry Forton and HC Seth Appert, if Jarmo says no

You need to fire the entire front office including a lot of these scouts that keep pushing soft players!

Why single out Tage? They all did and Okposo let it go.

I would love to know the rationale behind the red Xs about Tage. This is the guy that took absolutely no responsibility for sucking when the fans started calling for Donnie's head, and instead decided to stop the post game salute as punishment. That's not a leader.

That’s a really good point. Let the smaller market teams line Buffalo lose so the bigger market teams can make the NHL lots and lots of more money.

It's difficult to develop that 'hate-to-lose' culture when ownership/management keeps moving the guys who truly hate to lose out of the organization. O'Reilly hated to lose, put that feeling into words, and was traded. Eichel and Reinhart were sick of losing and didn't want to go through another rebuild. Adams claimed that they didn't want to be here, traded them and then proceeded with his idiotic and doomed rebuild. It's difficult to build that hate-to-lose culture when you label those players who voice dissatisfaction with losing as dissenters to the cause, and then move them out of the organization.
