  1. No love in here for a big ILL-INI upset against a ranked team? Jerks.
  2. Gross. I have lived here for 20+ years but that trash they call pizza here is disgusting.
  3. I most certainly do over NY style and that's the obvious inference of the sign. Pay attention! 😜
  4. Well that's just silly. NY style is wildly overrated and not nearly as good as deep dish but tavern cut is the real champ here.
  5. Yeah, if you're in the Peoria area and can get the games via a cable outlet you're going to be in the blackout area. I have MLBTV but get blacked out of the Cardinals games and use a site called Methstreams that's been pretty reliable for those games. I've used it to watch the Bears too when the games aren't on down here.
  6. Methstreams is very reliable for me.
  7. The AL Central is collectively 38 games under .500. 4 of the 5 teams are over .500.
  8. Well, it was fun while it lasted and I got to see a couple fun games in DC. Should have traded Steele at the deadline (kidding). This feels like a real white flag move sending Kyle out there again tonight. Killian or Birdsell have to be better options at this point with someone else ready to piggyback if needed. Hell, DFA Kyle and Mastro and bring them both up.
  9. It's apparently changed significantly since I looked yesterday. It was showing 80% chance of storms from like 2:00 pm on through the evening. Bully for me since I'll be in DC.
  10. He would be in DC, but yeah, it's definitely a possibility. Being discussed in the game thread.
  11. I wonder if he's hoping to get like 4 innings from Wicks and then empty the pen with the likelihood there's no game Saturday.
  12. I would bet we get Shota, Taillon or Assad, then whoever comes up from Iowa on Sunday. I'm betting Sunday gets weird though because Saturday is probably getting rained out, so you'll have expanded rosters and then probably no extra player for the DH since they'll have 2 extras anyway.
  13. I'd argue that going 2-2 against Skenes, one of which was a 103 EV rope, tells me he's seeing the ball well against pretty much all the pitchers. He's had a few hits off lefty specialists lately too. Feels more real than smoke and mirrors to me.
  14. I don't have any real objection to much of this but Flaherty's shoulder exploding during a 4 year deal seems like a near guarantee.
  15. He's about as ideal of a 4th OF as you're going to find. Cheap, gets on base, is acceptable at all 3 spots, and overall isn't going to cost you games when he plays. He's a 4th OF for a reason and you're not going to get an .800 OPS out of that spot.
  16. There were tickets listed for $0 for the Cards game last night in STL. The BFIBS are completely apathetic at this point and it's hilarious after all the self flagellation over the years.
  17. Ah yes, putting a 32 year old catcher at 1B or DH who has a career .628 OPS and has amassed nearly half of his career WAR this season and didn't even have an MLB job from 2018-2021. Makes tons of sense.
  18. Yeah, this doesn't just feel like a hot streak. He's obviously not going to OPS 1.500 or whatever he has over the last week but between the approach and how many hard hit balls we've seen, it looks sustainable to a degree.
  19. Outside of the drive home and having to give a presentation (it was on in the background still) I was there the whole game.
  20. 9 outs left and a crappy Pirates pen. We have a chance!
  21. Please stop. Your solutions are bad and Paredes has been hurt longer than that.
  22. Man, PCA is fun to watch. No way anyone else on the team gets to 3rd on that throw home and I'd bet almost everyone else at least draws a throw home on the ground ball he scored on.
  23. Considering Hill has yet to throw a pitch this year and all the injuries the Cubs have had, sadly Kyle has to be the answer. (Fake edit: I read this as 2024, but I'm not sure that changes my answer).
