Don’t know how Cito Gaston has been bounced from this ballot for Joe Maddon. Cito and his Blue Jays won back to back WS titles in 1992-93. First African-American skipper to win WS. His players still swear by his leadership qualities. Needs to be in. Felipe Alou also.
The Contemporary Baseball Era ballot features four managers and four executives for consideration in the Hall of Fame Class of 2027.
Results will be announced at 8 p.m. ET on Dec. 6: ow.ly/UjVe5102Z6Q
ALT The Contemporary Baseball Era ballot considering managers, executives and umpires includes Sandy Alderson, Dusty Baker, Bruce Bochy, Joe Maddon, Lou Piniella, Brian Sabean, Ted Turner and Bill White.

This must have been the rookie hazing Blake Griffin joked to me they’d do to Lowry:

"They got this weight off their shoulder named Kyle Lowry." 🤣

Why Raptors aren't worried about lack of three-point shot-making so far torontosun.com/sports/basket…
Doesn't directly apply to these clips, but an interesting thing Darko said today is some of the wings and guards need to give Jak/CMB a bit more time to set screens so they don't get called for offensive fouls. Thinks they haven't been waiting long enough to accept some screens.

Kawhi Leonard getting treatment outside of Toronto, unclear when he'll return to Raptors.

Kawhi Leonard is getting treatment away from Toronto right now per Darko Rajakovic. Still unclear how long he will be out. But responding well to treatment of swelling.

rj barrett has 20 rim attempts in his last 2 games. no other raptor has more than 8. he's now 4th in the league in rim shots per game (8.3), behind only giannis, wemby, & zion. no raptor ranked in the top 25 last season
Raptors-Magic takeaways from last night. A lot more coming on Poeltl today.

The bad: CMB doesn’t look like the dynamic player he was earlier. making mistakes at both ends not playing with enough force on offence. Plus he and Poeltl are having a tough time avoiding fouls. They both have 15 fouls, tied for team lead, despite playing a fraction of the mins.
