Many people here were intrigued by idea of getting Keller at the deadline -- I'm much happier with Bieber, even though Keller has an extra year of control.

That error makes up for the Kirk mistake.
Let's get at least one more.

Ump completely whiffed on that strikeout call
One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo’s nest.

And another miss by the ump, should have had 2 outs instead of what is looking like a huge inning for them
One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo’s nest.

Who bunts with two runners on and no outs? Seriously braindead moment there...
Nick Nurse recounting his first meeting with Kawhi:
“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

Bad idea even worse execution

They didn’t tell him to do that; that was all him that time

It's not terrible.

But the question is how many people have had 1st and 2nd, 0 outs,
turn into reaching 1st first base and getting 2 outs.

This one was definitely him deciding on his own, tbh.
