    Also, Tucker is back to yanking everything to first base again like he was when he was cold. I know they'll never do it, but I wouldn't be mad if Mo was in there instead tomorrow.

    Let's give Pivetta some credit here. He's painting the edges and the top of the zone. Outside of PCA, he's not making guys look bad, he's just making really good pitcher's pitches.

    That was me. Civale was a starter all year before he got to the Cubs and has been for a while so I don't think Soroka has any real leg up for that reason. Now, he's probably a better pitcher overall, so I don't have any objection to that route either. I just figured Soroka was more trustworthy later in a game and was probably better suited to higher leverage use.

    I wouldn't be terribly upset to see them start Civale tomorrow as an opener for Shota so you can get some length out of him with only facing Tatis and Machado twice.

    Yeah, @Brandon Glick where you at?

    Definitely isn't going to be Assad. He threw like 80 pitches Sunday and I'll be a little surprised if he's even on the roster considering he's a maybe to be available on Thursday.

    I'd rather have Boog and Doug but not getting stuck with Ravech and company is fantastic. Probably got the second best crew in my opinion.

    I was just following along on Gamecast but that's absolutely a game they lose last year. As for the OL, I have to wonder if there's anymore consideration to moving Wright over to LT and going with Trapilo at RT. Seems like that was shelved quickly in the preseason so I doubt it happens but they have to try something else.

    There will be, but it'll be on things like roads and public transportation that the Bears aren't directly and solely benefitting from.

    That margin of victory vaults them back into 3rd in terms of run differential in all of MLB.
  12. mul21
    Yeah, I think the argument here boils down to process. If you're taking a RB high in the first round, it better be a generational type talent like Barkley or Henry. The excess value provided by those guys far outweighs what you might get from another position. OO's comparison to a relief pitcher works really well. They're kinda fungible until you get to the tippy top of the heap and then you've got an incredibly valuable resource, but there just aren't many out there.

    I blame Dansby for booting a ground ball and allowing an inning to continue. The offense did plenty last night.

    I think it would be real risky to hinge the rest of your playoff hopes on the guys who haven't exactly been stellar of late in the first two games of the WC series. I'd bet Horton gets one of those two and if there's a game 3 it's all hands on deck.

    I also think the defense will get better. Dennis Allen didn't get where he did by accident. He'll figure some things out and make the defense passable assuming the injuries don't continue to stack up. I also think that we haven't seen a play caller like Ben before. 11 straight running plays and many of them looked very different from each other and also kept the chains moving.

    I'm not sure what's causing it (I think it's the add your email pop up) but my screen is flashing between normal and a shaded screen and I'm going to have a seizure. It did it once yesterday and once the pop up finally came on screen, it went away. I can't get it to stop today.

    Well, sure, that's the most likely scenario but he's trash so I'm just going to assume the worst. 🤣
  18. mul21
    My immediate reaction was that he must have done something he's not going to be able to wriggle out of this time.

    Ew

    No, it took him supporting a homophobic, transphobic, racist POS and I think not supporting someone with those viewpoints is a pretty low bar to clear.
  21. mul21
    No thanks. God is fake and so is your christianity.
  22. mul21
    Racist says what?

    No more exhausting than existing in general in the current landscape. And him rooting for ****** people is near the bottom of the existential dread I feel on a daily basis. The concern for the future of my 17 year old daughter and stepdaughter is top of the list and everything Kirk stood for is in opposition to their success in life.

    A buddy of mine who lives in Madison was telling me over the weekend that apparently there's not much interest in investing in NIL up there and it's going to just kill them. Kind of a weird line to draw in the sand for donors, but if that's the case they're not getting better until that changes.

    Your first base scenario is why I think they should have Santana on the roster for at least the wild card round.
