Jacob deGrom is the best starting pitcher to ever play the game
I think [Jacob deGrom] is the best starting pitcher to ever put on the uniform... just what he's able to do with the baseball... it's just, I think he's in his own league. And I hope he stays healthy for another 15 years because if he can do that, I think it'll be the best ever.

View episodeKyrie Irving giving the middle finger and yelling at fans is exactly what sports should be
Kyrie should do everything back to [Celtics fans] and that is what sports is all about... Fans hating a certain player, a player upping their game to stick it to the fans. I loved every second of it. I just want more of it.

I'm gonna pick the Phillies to win it in seven on the road in Houston... as hot as they are now and what happened against the Braves and how they handled San Diego the way they did... Phillies believe they can beat anybody. Yeah. In this series, man, it's the perfect fit.
The Padres made a huge mistake not bringing in Josh Hader to face Bryce Harper in the NLCS
And I mean, Harper the biggest at bat of his entire career... They don't bring in Josh Hader to face Harper, which I think was a huge mistake even though Suarez had pitched extremely well. It's like you have the best left-handed guy ready in the bullpen and he's on fire.
Juan Soto will be traded to either the Cardinals or the Padres
I heard Jake Peavy give a take on the network about him potentially ending up in San Diego. And I could also see St. Louis... I would love to see Soto in San Diego for the simple reason that the Dodgers have just dominated the NL West forever. And if the Padres are serious about taking that next step, what better way to make that statement than to bring in a guy like Juan Soto?
