  1. This certainly puts a damper on things. Give him the offseason to rest and then build back up with a full (labor agreement notwithstanding) spring and hopefully we will see him back near 100% in April.
  2. So protect them from themselves. If everyone has to stay on the circle, then nobody is gaining an advantage.
  3. It was AT LEAST 10 feet. And I don't think anyone is saying he's the only one doing it. But 10 feet is still 10 feet, and the circle is there for a reason. This is just an eye opener that MLB needs to start enforcing that an on deck batter needs to be within x feet of the circle.
  4. I have to imagine this is going to get addressed in the offseason.
  5. Do they really need to? It isn't the NBA where guys are throwing elbows under the basket. As long as he doesn't slide headfirst into a base, the chances of any further contact to the face are incredibly low.
  6. Based on what? The big question is how long it takes for swelling to go down. The facial fractures suck, but that isn't an injury that is really at risk of someone aggravating by playing baseball. So I would think as soon as the swelling goes down enough and his vision is clear, he would be able to play. Is that in 7 days or 15 days, I have no idea, but any timeframes are pure speculation.
  7. What was the coach's girlfriend doing in the dugout?
  8. Someone asked Counsell about this in his postgame conference and he was NOT happy with the question.
  9. A good corner man can have him back out on the field Tuesday night.
  10. Good. Let the Cubs clinch a spot themselves at Wrigley. I have absolutely zero worry that the Cubs are going to lose 6 in a row and the Dbacks are going to win 6 in a row. The Dbacks are not a concern anymore.
  11. Hypothetical scenario: PCA gets to 39 steals going into the final day and everything of importance in the standings has been decided. Do you start him on the bench, wait for a batter to get on first, then put him in as a pinch runner? He probably doesn't want to get to 40 that way, but that would be the easiest way to do it.
  12. The snap was a bit high and he got the ball down pretty quickly. He also had a nice day punting the ball and did a good job on the first FG high snap. I get that people don't like using a 4th round pick on a punter, but a lot of the Taylor hate feels unfair.
  13. That's possible, and this is the Catch-22 for a backup QB. Do you want to get a chance to show what you can do and possibly play yourself out of the league, or would you rather have a longer career as a backup hiding behind the starter?
  14. From Counsell on Bregman: Left cheekbone area below the eye. Sent to the hospital for tests. No concussion symptoms.
  15. I like Bagent as a backup QB, but the lack of arm strength on the last drive was jarring. None of the throws that were caught were good throws. Hopefully they can adjust with a week of preparation.
  16. I mean, it's wet, but that didn't look like an obvious "turf got him" injury.
  17. Great hit, but how is that not a penalty?
  18. That's a triple whammy. Caleb goes down on a play that would have been a TD. So you have the injury, the lost TD, and then the blocked field goal to finish it off.
  19. My God. How do you get a 20 yard field goal blocked?
  20. Obviously a broken nose can bleed profusely, so hopefully it is no worse than that.
  21. That was a hell of a punt.
  22. Hell, I'll take a broken nose (easy for me to say).
