  1. And now the Marlins have... you guessed it... A 1 run lead.
  2. Why do I keep scoreboard watching? The Marlins are about to tie the game or take the lead
  3. Didn't you read the fine print??? Once you subscribe, you can NEVER cancel! Seriously though, I have no idea.
  4. That should definitely be a consideration. A lot of things can happen in the off-season, but I would lean toward having him start the season in Iowa and hope he forces their hand like Morel did this year
  5. I don't even remember the rules anymore. If the delay had started prior to the 9th would it still have been a suspended game, or would it's have been considered official at that point?
  6. So hypothetically, the Cubs sweep the Brewers, the Marlins win 2 of 3 against the Pirates, and then it all comes down to a 1 inning game where the Mets need to score at least 1 to tie and 2 to win. But in that scenario, we survive until Monday! That's almost as good as making the playoffs, right???
  7. That would be wild, but no way in hell that happens.
  8. Fun with arbitrary endpoints - The Cubs are 6-13 since the start of the Arizona series on 9/7. If they could have just gone 8-11 over that same period, they would be headed into Milwaukee with a lead.
  9. If only some of the bad Cubs teams of the past few years were this good at tanking late season games...
  10. To be fair, the Cubs are tied with San Diego in the category and they are under .500
  11. I get that, but we have seen this team win games by a lot, and then consistently lose them by a little. Maybe that's all that bad luck in how runs are being sequenced, but I have a hard time not thinking this particular bad bullpen has led to a lot more close losses than close wins.
  12. I have a feeling a lot of people are suddenly second thinking their potential weekend trip to Milwaukee now.
  13. He is a solid #2 or 3. This year was almost certainly an outlier.
  14. Counterpoint: Good starting pitching is going to keep games close and terrible bullpen is going to lose a lot of those games.
  15. I have no idea how Swanson is still hitting .247 because it seems like he keeps going a week between hits. Oh by the way, he would be the 8th best hitter in the Braves lineup.
  16. I sure would have liked to see Morel get a chance there.
  17. That's something alright. He's like the anti Yan Gomes in clutch situations.
  18. Anthony Kay in to close it out for the Mets with 1 out and a runner on. I'm sure this will go great!
  19. Only a 1 run lead, so the Marlins can't lose by that score. I expect the them to score 2 in the 9th.
