    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. 🤣

    My immediate reaction was that he must have done something he's not going to be able to wriggle out of this time.

    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.

    No thanks. God is fake and so is your christianity.

    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.

    I'd lean 12 pitchers, especially for the wild card round where you only need 3 starters anyway, so Assad and Rea probably get left off. Pending the Tucker situation, you have your regular 9 plus a catcher (McGuire/Miggy), Castro, Turner, and then I think it gets interesting for the last 2 spots. If it was me, I'd definitely have Ballesteros on the roster and very heavily consider him as a starter over Seiya against RH starters. Those splits for Seiya are ugly. I think at that point, it probably makes sense to add Santana to the bench because of the platoon situation with Busch and Turner being as stark as it is. Having that versatility available so you can take advantage of a matchup late in a close game seems like something that could turn out to be a big key at some point.

    Not sure if it'll be relevant to their playoff rotation, but the Brewers put Quintana on the IL retroactive to 9/15, so he's done for the regular season and I suspect it would be tough for him to be in any kind of shape to start a game in the NLDS.
  15. mul21
    I was at that clincher. Watching Carl's Jr. run out on the field with the W flag as a cape in Busch was absolutely amazing.
  16. mul21
    He's missing just off the edges a lot lately and those pitches were dotting the corners earlier in the season. When he got roughed up in Milwaukee it was the same thing, he couldn't hit the corner and if he's not hitting the corner, guys just aren't swinging because they don't have to when he's not getting called strikes. I really think that's the only difference. Just shows how fine the line is between really good and bad in MLB.

    I really, really like Ian Happ. He's such a thoughtful dude.
  18. mul21
    A very small thing, but the way Alcantara just positioned himself to catch that fly ball so he was in a good position to throw if the runner tagged tells me how much better the Cubs have gotten at the details over the years.
  19. mul21
    I think Boyd needs an extra couple days between his next few starts and he'll probably be fine. He's clearly not sharp but the velocity is there. Hopefully just some fatigue that rest will take care of.
  20. mul21
    It's certainly a factor, plus if you go compare xERA, FIP or xFIP, Cade isn't nearly as dominant. Like, there's no way anyone expects Horton to go out and throw a CG in a playoff game right now and Arrieta doing that in 2015 was awesome but not a huge surprise.
  21. mul21
    That's certainly pretty bizarre.
  22. mul21
    What's this about?
  23. mul21
    Agreed. I'd much rather have a path of Padres and Brewers to the NLCS than Dodgers and/or Phillies even down a pitcher.
  24. mul21
    He wasn't good but that line they had in front of him by the end of the game last night was as bad as any the Bears have assembled.
  25. mul21
    I think the injuries are problematic, Eberflus is probably a better defensive coordinator than he gets credit for, and holy horsefeathers where is the pass rush? You just can't let any QB, let alone one with weapons like the Lions have, sit back there all day and pick you apart.
