    If he did he should have thrown Waldron under the bus for leaving him one on one with a DE two weeks in a row.

    I think that probably depends a lot on what's being said in the locker room and very little on what's said to the media unless he's just throwing guys under the bus.

    I wasn't saying you were wrong, I was just saying total IP is a bad measure of whether or not they were overused. I'd also be curious to see how many of those appearances were 3 out of 4 days or 4 days out of 5 because the stress on the arm is a multiplier in those situations. The only thing I'll disagree with you on is predicting Alzolay's injury. The old forearm tightness is a pretty good harbinger of UCL doom so I wasn't the least bit surprised when he ended up needing TJS.

    I don't think total innings is a good barometer for that considering all 3 of them spent time on the IL last year and Alzolay spent time as a starter in his highest IP year. I think you need to look at workload during that July/August time period and determine if they were overloaded then.

    I would be a large sum of money that if he files a grievance he wins.

    I'm all for bagging on Tom but he was right this time.

    Daniels had clean pockets all night long and to raw's point, was very rarely pressured. Especially for a rookie QB, not feeling rushed every time you drop back when things are already going faster than you're accustomed to is a huge difference compared to what Caleb has dealt with. That said, Daniels did look really good.

    That's exactly what happened. The play was slow to come in. This whole coaching staff is reactionary instead of having a plan for the next move regardless of the outcome of the play happening in the moment.

    Actual gripes about the offense: 1. Why was there not more play action on first down against a team that was so obviously selling out to stop the run after getting man handled the first 2 weeks? That opens up a lot of things for Caleb and maybe they don't struggle so badly early. 2. Why does our tight end keep getting left one on one with pass rush specialists? It's burned them 2 weeks in a row now. 3. Roschon Johnson needs to be the primary RB. He hits holes harder and faster than Swift and as bad as the OL is at sustaining blocks, that's the only hope for the running game for the time being.

    What if that world is a Mariners pitcher (Nico+ trade), Soto in RF and Shaw/Busch at 2B?

    The $73 I pay for YouTube TV is worth it between having anything I want to watch at the click of a button when I travel, not having to search for things (especially sports), and not wasting time or dealing with a pirated stream that may or may not flash porn ads on the screen intermittently with other people in the room.

    There are 16 players in all of MLB with an OPS of .850 or better. As has been mentioned, Seiya is 18th at .845 as of today. I have no idea what people are expecting out of the guy but taking him out of the lineup, even if he's replaced with Soto, doesn't solve any problems, it just rearranges the deck chairs on the Titanic.
  14. mul21
    I think all these answers are really that it depends on the guy. The Cardinals have been trying to get Jordan Walker to elevate the ball more for several years now and even with a guy who's been a top prospect from the jump, he hasn't been able to successfully implement those changes without wrecking the rest of his approach. The last trip back to Memphis for him he reverted to his old swing and has been having much better success in spite of more ground balls.

    How does this jive with the pressured on 36/37 drop backs or whatever the number was from Sunday night? That math doesn't seem to math for me.
  17. mul21
    Has everyone bitching about losing to the A's looked at their record since the beginning of July? They're far from a bad team right now in spite of their overall record.
  18. mul21
    That would make the most sense to me. Neely has been super hittable and definitely still has some work to do to be MLB effective.
  19. mul21
    This is exactly it. He can't stand Portnoy and their whole schtick and made a big deal out of nothing because he had an axe to grind going in. Completely dumb on his part but the stoolies making this big of a deal about it is even worse.

    I think Eric Dickerson and probably Marshall Faulk have to be on that list.

    NFL Week 2

    mul21 replied to Derwood's topic in Other Sports

    Yeah, he's gonna have CTE symptoms by 30 at this rate. Poor bastard.
  22. mul21
    11. But really 10 because they lose all the tie breakers.
  23. mul21
    I assume this is an end of the season we need a body thing or something of that nature?
  24. mul21
    So what we're saying is that the NFL is hard and not all hope is lost? Caleb was bad. The throws he made were largely inaccurate. He saw a real NFL defense for the first time ever who wasn't just showing him a base defense and it rattled him. Hopefully he learns from it and gets better and based on what we've seen and heard from him, there's no reason to believe he won't do exactly that.
  25. mul21
    Yeah, that catch was insane. And on that note, the officiating in every game I watched this weekend was incredibad. There should have been PI on that play, then on consecutive plays in the Colorado Nebraska game there was a phantom hold on Nebraska that called back a huge run, then a roughing the QB call on Colorado that wasn't even close to roughing. Just a couple of the examples that were glaring.
