Kyle Tucker was up next, there was no reason to believe

Didn't we do pretty much exactly that 2 years ago? And with Pittsburgh leading and us being on a 17-game losing streak when the opponent leads at any point, safe to say goodbye to this one. I won't because I'm stupid.

I respect the petty

Michigan penalties released by the NCAA, which (as all penalties do now) amount to basically nothing anybody will notice. Fined the equivalent of postseason money for the next 2 seasons, lengthy show causes for Harbaugh and Stallions (as if either of them will ever work in college again). Sherrone Moore gets 1 more game of suspension - bizarrely to be served next year - on top of the 2 UM already imposed. Adding this from the report just because it's funny:

Time of season death 4:54 p.m. ET

Carson Kelly with the best-hit ball all day and it goes easily foul. Just that kind of month

What's the opposite of a contract-year push

Boyd was so great for 6 innings and that's why you can't score only 1 run. (I know, they're hitting it hard. Still. Sigh.)

It's either a blown out knee or a busted ankle. Either way he's done for the season and could very well be worse.

Well, Amaya is dead

That 26-4 record equates to 141 wins in a full season. For over a month now the Brewers have been effectively 25 games better than any team that has ever played the game.

We should really thank the Brewers. If they hadn't gone supernova and we were only down 2-3 games instead of about to be 7.5, we'd all still be talking ourselves into this team

They'll probably torch Skenes just for the hell of it and win 8-3. They do whatever they want to do at this point.

Elite fake rally here

So predictable

This is gonna stand because you can't tell for sure Berti didn't pop off the base and this is how our life is these days

There is a 100% chance that drops in if Turner was a Brewer

So fake rally or 1-2-3?

He assumed he'd get walked for the free out against PCA and I don't blame him

For who exactly? Kelly crushes lefties. You're not benching Tucker.

My kingdom for a big hit in the late innings

I just looked it up, it's a 123 win pace now.

I kinda hope they never lose again. If they're going to completely break this sport and defy anything resembling logic they may as well take it all the way

I don't know where you live but MLBTV has been carrying whatever FOX game your local station isn't airing for a long time now. If your station was airing the other game yesterday then MLBTV would've had the Cubs game available.
