NBA Finals

Well... Once again in the NBA Finals for the 3rd straight year we have Cavs vs Warriors. But I believe there's something just a bit different about this one and no it's not Kevin Durant or Warriors getting revenge. It is that most people are calling the Cavs the underdogs because they were not "battle tested" during the playoffs. But you know what America the Cavs weren't "battle tested" last year either and they were in a 3-1 hole and came back to win it all. You can never count out Lebron James the king himself just recently passed the G.O.A.T Michael Jordan for most career playoff points and I believe he is better then MJ. But if you look at this matchup on paper Cavs will obviously win because you have Kyrie vs Curry at PG and if you look at all the position battle Cavs are obvious winners that is why I believe the Clevland Cavs will repeat as this year's champs.

Miami Marlins Injuries

The Miami Marlins have had multiple infield injuries lately causing a 3 game slump and yet another lead lost in a game last night to the St Louis Cardinals. The Marlins top two shortstops Adeiny Hechavarria and Miguel Rojas were put on the DL this week. These injuries have caused the Marlins to go to Triple-A and pick up SS Steve Lombardozzi from New Orleans. Manager Don Mattingly says "You're going to see (injuries) come in bunches, but not come like this," The Marlins need a win as they start up a home series to the struggling Atlanta Braves and could be a confidence boost as they go through this home stand.

Also Marlins prospect J.T. Riddle was scheduled to play on Wednesday but bruised the tip oh his right index finger during early fielding drills.

This is all I have for you today and thank you for your support

Mitchell Trubisky and Deshaun Watson Compare and Contrast

Hello evryone I'm sorry I have not been able to do a blog in a while but I'm here today to give you my thoughts on this years draft QB class.

I'm going to start with QB Mitchell Trubisky out of UNC. I believe he is the most NFL ready QB in this draft class. With 13 starts at UNC he threw for 17TD's and 0INT's in the red zone comparing to Dak Prescott and Andrew Luck. The odds are for him in that case and he is in my opinion the QB with the best decision making out of this Draft Class.
The 2nd QB I'm going to talk about is Deshaun Watson out of Clemson University. Deshaun had the best conversion % in 3rd down 10 yards or more which could really help the Browns since they obviously don't know what a first down is sorry to the Clevland fans about that just putting some humor into my blogs. But the man is a QB that threw 10+ INT's last season in college which could get worse in the NFL.

Comparasion:
The 2 QB's both have a good pocket pressence and could help them in the NFL I don't see any of them making a Week 1 start but should eventually start in their first season with the proper training.

Tampa Bay Rays First 5 Games

The Tampa Bay Rays have started the season off a good 3-2 with lots of baseball to be played. I am going to start off with Logan Morrison who has a good season so far swinging the bat like crazy. This is a team with potential and can go far if they can get consistency from their bullpen. The Tampa Bay Rays have arguably the best starting rotation in baseball. But they are indeed stuck in the hardest division in baseball in the AL East. If the Rays would get some bullpen help this is no doubt about it the best team in baseball. The Red Sox still have to fill big shoes with the loss of Big Papi and the Orioles don't have a starting rotation to match the bats in the division. The Yankees youngsters have not shown themselves in the big leagues with nothing impressive as it is a young team with lack of experience. I see the Blue Jays the only team that can batlle with the Blue Jays because their bats can beat up the bullpen gets in the game. Though it's not just the bullpen the Rays young ace Blake Snell had a rough outing a couple nights ago giving up a grand slam to Kendrys Morales. All the teams in the AL East I believe is one step away from being a contender so watch the teams in this division as it could be a bumpy ride all year long.

NCAA Basketball Final Four

Gonzaga vs South Carolina

The Final Four is set. Not many thought that the South Carolina Gamecocks were going to be in the final four cause I know I didn't. I have a prediction that if the Gamecocks can focus and handle the ball commiting few turnovers they can beat the one seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs. Gonzaga is a team with size who have the advantage on the boards but if the Gamecocks can take smart shots there won't be many rebounds for the Bulldogs to get anyway. I do indeed think Gonzaga will win the game by a slim margin and should be a game for centuries to come.

North Carolina vs Oregon

The Tar Heels and the Ducks. One of the 2 amazing Final Four games we will have in store. North Carolina Tar Heels are a very decorated team with size and speed from Justin Jackson to Joel Berry. They do have injury concerns as Joel Berry does have a sprained ankle and could possibly even sit out the Final Four game although he did tell reports he will not sit out there is always a possibility. This Tar Heel team has size as well with one of the greatest big men in the country in Justin Jackson who is a beast on the boards. On the other side we have the Oregon Ducks who have a great young superstar in Dillon Brooks but are also injury prone as they lost superstar Chris Boucher for the season earlier this season to a torn ACL,

World Baseball Classic Finals Recap

What a game we had last night to cap off an incredible World Baseball Classic drawing 1,000,000 total attendance. The US bats were on fire starting in the 5th inning as they had a 4-0 lead until a while later making it 7-0 and eventually to end the game 8-0. USA pitcher Marcus Stroman threw for 6 no hit innings and was taken out of the game after letting up a double in the 7th inning. The United States biggest hitter all tournament long was the Miami Marlins star Christian Yelich who was in the starting lineup in almost every game of the tournament. This was a great month of baseball for the United States as they win their first ever World Baseball Classic. I believe that if they get the most medals in the 2018 Winter Olympics it should be safe to say the United States is the "Sports Country" or "Sports Champions" as they have gotten 1st place in the summer olympics and have officially conquered baseball which I believe makes them the best sports country in the world.\

NCAA March Madness

March Madness has started and there are already been some crazy things happening. Last night University of New Orleans player tried to choke his own teammate in a 1 point loss to Mount Saint Mary's. This could be a crazy tournament we have o our habds and if you would like to see my tournament bracket feel free to join my Tournament Challenge Group Alex Mesa Sports. I believe that Gonzaga is the worst 1 seeded team in NCAA History I belive the 4 number one seeds should've been Villanova, North Carolina, Duke, and Arizona and UCLA as a 2 seed not a 3 seed. The committe did not respect any of the head to head matchups that were made but di respect the strength of the conferences each of the teams were coming from. I believe UCLA could go far if they consistantly score points each and every game as they are averaging 90.4 points a game as a team. Duke has a very strong team this year despite having some issuses with Grayson Allen they are the best all around team in this tournament in my opinion. Arizona is also a good team that has taken down strong competition in the Pac 12 tournament and could go a long way. Kansa, I don't think Kansas was deserving of the 1 seed because of the loses they have had like they got upset against TCU I feel they are a team that could be easily upset in the 2nd round by a decent Miami Hurricane team.
