    I don't think the NLCS is being played in Japan, so I like the Cubs chances better than that already.

    From the 5th inning on in this series, the Cubs have outscored the Brewers 5-1.

    Call me selfish, but I want to see one more Clayton Kershaw surrender cobra at Wrigley Field.

    I look forward to Shota's impending no-no on Saturday.

    I feel confident they won't use a pitcher they'll need tomorrow.

    I've reached the exhale point, which for me is Cubs need fewer outs than runs allowed.

    There are at least 5 reasons I like starting Boyd today better than I did in G1: He's on normal rest and not short rest. He's at Wrlgley, where he's fared far better on the season. He's easily the best starter available today. He should be well rested after throwing just 30 pitches in G1 and not warming in the pen 2 days prior. For a potential NLCS, using him here would put him on regular rest for Game 2.

    NFL Week 5

    bukie replied to BigbadB's topic in Other Sports

    The Ravens have allowed an average of 35+ points per game through 5, and they've already played the Browns once.

    3 days rest. Pitched Tuesday. Game Saturday.

    They won't start Boyd on short rest. I'd expect Rea game 1, Boyd 2, Shotgun 3, Taillon to close the series out in game 4.

    Wasn't all sunshine and rainbows with Caleb yesterday, but this was a fantastic throw:

    NFL Week 4

    bukie replied to Tryptamine's topic in Other Sports

    I have no idea what the Packers were doing at the end there. Playing for a tie at best?

    Not many better ways to end a season than sweeping an uninspired Cards team at home.

    Playoff Talk

    bukie replied to mk49's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    With one day left in the season: AL: Either the Yankees or Blue Jays will be the 1 seed, the other will be the 4 seed. Toronto holds the tiebreaker, so the Yankees need a win and Jays loss tomorrow. Seattle will be the 2 seed Detroit or Cleveland will be the 3 seed. Detroit's win today clinches a playoff spot for them. Cleveland holds the tiebreaker, so 2 Cleveland wins or a win and Tigers loss will win the AL Central for Cleveland. Tigers need at least one Cleveland loss and a win. Boston will be the 5 seed, unless they lose tomorrow and Cleveland wins twice. Boston wins the tiebreaker against Cleveland, loses it against Detroit. Houston needs 2 wins and 2 Cleveland losses to sneak in as the 6 seed. NL: Milwaukee is the 1 seed. Philly is the 2 seed. LA Dodgers are the 3 seed. Cubs are the 4 seed. Padres are the 5 seed. Mets or Reds are the 6 seed. Reds hold the tiebreaker, so the Mets still need help, even though they won today. Both have a magic number of 2, effectively.

    The Cubs offense has a chance to end the season in an oddly neat way: If Shaw picks it up just a bit these last 2 games, they'll end the season with all 9 players in the lineup effectively being an above average MLB hitter.

    ESPN analytics has posted their receiver ratings through 3 weeks, and the Bears WRs are...really good? https://espnanalytics.com/receivers

    Baby steps. Eventually everyone will realize how silly it is to not just use the ABS call.
  20. bukie
    ABS for all MLB for 2026: https://www.mlb.com/news/abs-challenge-system-mlb-2026 Details: Each team will get two challenges and can keep them if they're successful. Challenges can only be initiated by a pitcher, catcher, or batter, and the request must come right after the pitch. To signal a challenge, the player will tap his hat or helmet to let the umpire know No help from the dugout or other field players is allowed In each extra inning, a team will be awarded a challenge if it has none remaining entering the inning.

    NFL Week 3

    bukie replied to Tryptamine's topic in Other Sports

    Harrison Butker keeps pushing it far right. And he's also missing field goals.

    Given who owns the team, Tom probably flew him out there on his private jet.

    NFL Week 3

    bukie replied to Tryptamine's topic in Other Sports

    If the Chiefs lose today, they might start to tear it all down.

    One more positive note about Caleb: that flea-flicker bomb went over 65 yards in the air, and he didn't have time to step into it (thanks, for the lob wedge, there, Swift!). I'm not sure there are 5 QBs in the NFL today that can make that throw.
