    No doubt, they can't PP and USC has more NFL type talent than Indiana on defense. Just try to keep pounding the run with Feagin.

    There's a huge randomness to the post season, all it takes is someone to get hot for a series. PCA, Suzuki, Busch and, if he plays, Tucker are all capable, there's no reason why anyone of them couldn't find it for a series. This is true for all playoff teams, there isn't a way to account for the random outcomes in the percentages. It's gong to happen, someone will emerge, for a refreshing change it might be a Cub.

    Everybody is going to jump on Indiana bandwagon after they blasted an overrated Illinois team. Ironic point will be the same thing is going to happen to Indiana when they go to Oregon. Hype will be all about Indiana being a CFP team, Mendoza being the best QB in college, blah, blah. They'll get blasted, not as badly, nevertheless, they get rolled by Oregon. Before anyone comes back about Indiana' greatness. Think about this - most of their roster is from JMU, there's a reason why they all started at JMU. On the whole, they were not good enough to be recruited by OSU, Alabama, PSU, Oregon, etc. Sure, Indiana can excel against the likes of Illinois who has some comparable and lesser players than them. To go up against Oregon, who has across the board NFL type talent, that's a different story.

    I think it's safe to write off Gordon for the rest of season as well, there's been no evidence he's remotely close to returning.
  5. gflore34
    I don't know, maybe, with a change in personal? They could not PP when it was 5 on 3 last night.
  6. gflore34
    Should have checked, Central Michigan, although, I'm certain they'd have problems blocking your Broncos as well. Confused again, wasn't hit on your Broncos. Was more about the overrated garbage that is Illinois football.
  7. gflore34
    They should not be, they're decent, 7-8 win bowl team, not top 25. Indiana will get rolled at Oregon in few weeks, wouldn't be surprised if they lose at Iowa next week.
  8. gflore34
    Do you think they'll hang with any of OSU, Oregon or PSU? There playing a decent but, highly overrated Illinois team. This supposedly good OL of Illinois was having trouble with likes of Western Michigan and Duke hell, they even had trouble blocking Western Illinois at times. On few downs tonight Indiana rushed only three and still instantly got to Altmyer. And there's nobody on the Indiana defense that special.
  9. gflore34
    Indiana is good but, they're not Ohio State, Penn State or Oregon good. PSU game vs. Indiana is a home game, they'll roll the Hoosiers.
  10. gflore34
    Maybe they're waiting until the last series of the year, it be even more crushing to not make the playoffs on the last day.
  11. gflore34
    On and on with the Reds, yet another garbage hitter with a HR, I know these games mean about as much as a spring training game. I'd still like to see the Cubs get one.
  12. gflore34
    Way, way off, they're in the playoffs because they do the little things right.
  13. gflore34
    Cubs just can't get mostly bad players out, it's a simple as that, and extraordinarily frustrating.
  14. gflore34
    Like I said I don't if it's the Reds or Cubs failure to get their ****** ass lineup out.
  15. gflore34
    Think what annoys me so much is the ongoing failure of Cubs to execute or be effective against the Reds. The Reds lineup is mostly filled with mediocre to bad players yet, the Cubs cannot consistently get them out.
  16. gflore34
    Inside the park 2R HR for the Nationals, up 5-3 going to the bottom of the 11th.
  17. gflore34
    Nationals are up 3-0 on the Mets after 6, even though I'd love to see the Mets blow it, think I'd rather they win. Making tonight a must win for the Reds. I so want the Cubs to deal a body blow to the Reds by beating them in a must win game.
  18. gflore34
    Bullpen is a problem, he tried to address that, Finnegan has been really good for them. He also tried to address the starters with Morton. Given what I'm certain were outrageous demands by selling teams for pitching this year I thought the best he could in trying to improve their staff. It's on the offensive side where I thought he failed. Counting on McKinstry to keep up his hot start, a revived Baez and Gleyber Torres to keep looking like a batting champion were mistakes. Did very little to bring in some more bats.

    Classic Cubs type loss for the Tigers, get a two out 2R HR for a 2R lead. Bullpen immediately gives one of those runs back as a rookie, having a day, hits a HR. Then they fail to pad the lead and cough up the game as said rookie gets the tying hit on a two out, 1-2 single, followed by another 1-2 single. Just classic gut punch kick in the balls for the Tigers. Division lead will soon be down to 1.5 games, haven't looked but, I'm guessing if the Tigers don't win the Central. They're out, does anyone know off hand? So glad this crap isn't happening to the Cubs. Though this continual losing to the Reds is getting old.

    100%, there's also a some lingering bad habits from last season, Ben Johnson has convince Caleb playing on time, doing as you suggest, IS the big play. I believe Ben Johnson himself said he didn't expect the offense and Caleb to really start clicking until December. Pretty much the last quarter or so of season is when I expect we'll see real progress and truly dangerous/good offense. Will it result in any wins? Probably not because the last quarter of season December-January looks pretty brutal. In any case we've got a long wait, a horsefeathers load of more bad times, a horsefeathers load of more bad press ahead of us. Isn't that great?

    Padres losing and Mets winning renders this game meaningless, most especially for the Reds. Ha, ha suck it Reds. Although I’m growing tired of the Cubs making these clowns look good.
  22. gflore34
    Yes, my contention is he can be had at home, Kelly just crushed a ball. A stupid send. But, Lodolo can be had at home.
  23. gflore34
    Have you looked at Lodolo' home and away splits? Way more effective away -
  24. gflore34
    I'd go with Busch at 1B and Alcantara in CF, instead of Turner and PCA. Isn't Lodolo a reverse split LHP? Just took a look and he is very much is a reverse splits also, noticed he worse at Great American Ballpark by a significant margin. Shota' pretty consistent home or road, that is consistently good.
  25. gflore34
    The Reds aren't offensively good, they're really bad vs. LHP, 27th overall. Cubs should have a good chance tonight.
