    Also, Illinois lost 6 of their starting 11 on defense to injury during the game. They literally had all but one DB on the roster get hurt.

    Did not expect this today from the Illini. Shocking, thought they were going to get blown off the field, they didn't. And even overcame a completely egregious fumble call against them - Feagin was down. Still, good for the Illini showing some pride, heart, toughness.

    Mets are done as well. No way they're going to win the next two in Miami. Believe the Reds will manage a split over the weekend. Ha, ha Mets, goodbye.

    I knew Horton was done, it was false hope to consider otherwise, key is the first game. Cubs take the first game and they've a very good chance to advance.

    We've been frustrated at times by Dansby' errors, could be worse, Cubs could have De La Cruz. For every highlight real throw he makes he tempers those with boneheaded lapses in attention and kicks some easy GB's. Which he just did a few moments ago, Dansby is always solid.

    Sucks the Cubs couldn't win this one, does setup the Mets falling on their faces in Miami which would be awesome and hilarious. Alcantara going tonight for the Marlins, he's been pretty good of late.

    Cowherd has said many of the same things about Caleb almost verbatim. Although his main line of attack has been Caleb wants to play every down off schedule backyard ball style. There is some truth to this, I think what we're beginning to see is Ben Johnson is helping Caleb to break this habit.

    Lodolo left the game for the Reds with a groin related concern, that's not good for the Reds. Groin stuff almost never turns out to be a short term injury.
  9. gflore34
    Not enough, I want some more Mets pain at the hands of the Cubs.
  10. gflore34
    Hope the Reds win, this could be a game were the Cubs could hurt the Mets. Come on Cubs, just once, kick the Mets in balls, a little payback for 1969, that horsefeathers Victor Diaz HR in 2004 and the 2015 NLCS.

    Just spitballing here, could Soroka be an option as well?
  12. gflore34
    I don't want to see Assad or Rea anywhere near an elimination game or even, the playoff roster for that matter. Might was well go with a bullpen game you've got no chance with Assad or Rea.
  13. gflore34
    Provided the Cubs make to a third game, why not Wicks?
  14. gflore34
    And this.
  15. gflore34
    That's just the kind of ballsy move most any other franchise would make. Not the Cubs, besides, I think Wiggins is on some kind of an innings limit, total pitch count, restrictions, etc.
  16. gflore34
    Who knows, maybe whomever takes his spot gets hot and becomes a Cubs and baseball post season hero. Baseball is littered with such examples why can't it be a Cub for horsefeathers once?
  17. gflore34
    But, of course, who would have expected anything less? When it comes to injuries the Cubs have had terrible luck this season, it's almost always the worst case scenario.

    I don't get it either, this week, Cowherd and others have been downplaying his performance against the Cowboys. Going with the Cowboys were and are terrible on defense, which is true. Caleb also executed, some credit should be given, the NFL thought his performance worthy of praise. In the end doesn't really matter, as long as Caleb plays on schedule, trusts Ben Johnson, trusts in the process, he's going to be lethal against any defense.

    Tigers are 5-15 in September, don't know if anyone watched their game in Cleveland the other night. Cruising along up 2-0 with Skubal on the mound, 6th inning, Guardians take the lead without a ball leaving the infield. Bunt, Bunt, GB, Bunt attempt with the ball hitting the batter, Frey, in the face, believe they may shook up Skubal, WP, Balk and GB turned into 3 runs, ball game for the Guardians. When that kind of nonsense happens it may be time to come to terms with not winning the AL Central Tigers. Last night, Dingler drops an easy popup behind the plate afterwards, Guardians plate two insurance runs.

    During the moment it sure as horsefeathers was irritating, believe many thought Shaw would come around. Cubs caught Smith at the beginning of a very productive stretch of the season, his numbers reached their peak a few days after in Colorado. Although, I believe, over the course of games 2 and 3 the Cubs figured out Smith has trouble with high FB's. Taillon struck him out twice with high heaters in game 3.
  21. gflore34
    Just a guess, but, that may pan not either, doesn't Smith hit a decent amount of GB's. Maybe, too many GB's?
  22. gflore34
    I still maintain Jed should have taken a chance on Luzardo, currently, it appears the Phillies gave up nothing. Both of the Phillies' prospects in the trade had poor low minors seasons although, one of them, Boyd, did get prompted. The injury concerns with Luzardo, yes, Soroka had some injury concerns, Jed still went ahead with that trade.
  23. gflore34
    Quietly, or maybe, not so quietly, Matt Shaw has eclipsed Cam Smith, they've basically flipped first and second halves. Ultimately, they'll probably both turn out to be good players, maybe, Shaw ends up being the higher average hitter whereas, Smith ends up with a little more power.

    Thanks, I'd rather have the Tigers back in to the last WC spot than the Astros. Tigers finish at the Red Sox, who appear to be locked into the #2 WC, and Astros finish at the Angels. Both finish with teams having not much to play for sometimes, when you're in the position of the Tigers and Astros. Beating teams playing out the string is very though.
  25. gflore34
    Completely forgot the Astros have been terrible as well.
