The Celtics need to make a trade or blow it up

My hot seat is the Celtics... Absolute kind of dumpster fire early on in the season. I don't know. I think they could use a trade. I think they have... Blow it up. Not blow it up, but like, you know, a tweak tweak.

The Celtics kept their core of Tatum and Brown and reached the NBA Finals that same season.

The Astros should blow up the train tracks at Minute Maid Park

If you're the Houston Astros, you have to blow up that train station. You have to blow up those tracks because there have been so many iconic home runs that have found their way onto or through those train tracks in the history of your franchise in the biggest possible moments that you've had. You've got to blow that fucking thing up.

This is a subjective opinion on stadium aesthetics and 'jinxes.' The train tracks remained.

The Braves have already won free agency because Ronald Acuna Jr. will be back next year

The Braves already have won free agency. Ronald Acuna [Jr.] will be back next year. That's right. Greatest free agent signing you can have. Absolutely.

The Braves won 101 games the following season and Acuna returned as an All-Star, though they didn't win another World Series immediately.

The Red Sox would have beaten the Braves if they made the World Series

Absolutely. Absolutely. [The Red Sox would have beaten the Braves].

Hot TakeBaseballHotSarcastic
The Red Sox lost the ALCS to the Astros, so this hypothetical cannot be proven, but they were literally not the 2021 champions.

Roman Anthony is a defensive liability for the Red Sox because everyone is successfully running on him in left field.

Roman Anthony, world baseball classic hero. But he has been, he's become a meme basically. If he can't, he just can't throw anyone out from left field. Everyone's just running on Roman. Shane tried to tell me he was great last year, but he was playing right field. Now he's playing left field... it's just not good.

Whether a player is a 'liability' is subjective, though defensive stats can provide some evidence over time.

AJ Brown will be traded to the New England Patriots

[AJ Brown is] gone no matter what... New England. [In my] unbiased mind, he's still gone.

AJ Brown was not traded to the Patriots in the immediate aftermath of these rumors.

UConn can't win the championship

I hope UConn can get it done. I don't think they can win it all.

UConn was in the 2026 Final Four. Resolution depends on whether UConn won the championship.
