Clayton Kershaw runs out of gas in the playoffs because he pitches too much in the regular season

I think Kershaw, he need to start looking at the regular season, he needs to reflect the playoff on the regular season. He seems like he goes too far during the regular season. And once the playoff kicks in, he seems like he is a little bit out of gas. If you are up by five runs in the sixth, why you got to continue going out there?

This is a subjective analysis of a player's physical and mental fatigue, though many analysts agree with this take.

Kentucky will overlook their opponents and fail to reach the Final Four

I think something's going to happen in Kentucky. Yes. It's too easy for them, isn't it? Yes. It's just too set up for Kentucky to win the Elite Eight and go to the Final Four. Are they overlooking their opponents?

Kentucky lost to #9 seed Kansas State in the Sweet 16, so the prediction that 'something would happen' and they would fail to make the Final Four was correct.

I would kill the horse Nyquist to recruit LeBron James to my basketball team

I'm totally serious about killing Nyquist. That's not a threat. That's an actual thing. We're threatening LeBron that he might get more horse heads in his bed if he doesn't sign with the breakers.

This is a hyperbolic comedic statement. While he didn't actually kill the horse, the 'truth' of the take is subjective to the bit.

I don't mind if a baseball player is selfish as long as they produce every day

People always talk about being selfish, playing the game. I don't mind if you're selfish. The longest you bring something to the table every day.

This is a personal philosophical take on the sport.

Bryce Harper will sign with the Phillies

To be honest with you, I think Philadelphia... Philadelphia's trying to win a World Series the next few years.

Bryce Harper signed a 13-year, $330 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies in February 2019.

The Red Sox middle relief is their biggest postseason concern

I'm a little concerned, to be honest with you, about the middle reliever. You know, I think we need to approach the opposition better when it comes down to it... once Sale got out of the game in the 6 or 7, those inning and a half, I want to make sure that we are covered.

The Red Sox bullpen actually performed remarkably well in the 2018 postseason, particularly Nathan Eovaldi and Craig Kimbrel, en route to a title.
