    Not that this was unforeseeable given the circumstances, but there's a bitter irony in MLB taking all these measures (DH, runner on 2nd) presumably to avoid pitcher injuries and yet we're seeing a whole horsefeathers ton of them anyway.

    Is Tyler Chatwood... Awesome?

    Happ has been locked in and I'm loving it.

    Years on now, and I think I can safely say very little in baseball makes me angrier than when an impatient hitter takes a ball and gets screwed on the call.

    Gastrointestinitis, which is a different hangover euphemism than usual

    He's either tipping pitches or everyone in baseball has decided to pull an Astros on him specifically for whatever reason

    Didn't even have the game on and pulled up the app and sure enough there's 2 Pittsburgh runs before an out is recorded. This guy's done as done can get.

    Marlins add one more positive, so that's 18.

    The B1G is apparently set to announce tomorrow that it will begin play on the normally scheduled Week 1, so as of now, the Power 5 conferences have 5 different opening weekends - B1G week 1, Big 12 week 0, ACC week 2, SEC week 4, Pac-12 week 5. This sport is so ridiculous.

    "Everyone else" made their own rules. No one consulted ND on whether to join conferences en masse in the 80s and 90s for TV money (ironic considering the common complaints about ND) and add $40 million conference championship games, and change the rules for who could have conference championship games as the Big 12 did. Nor should they have, because it was none of their business, just like it's none of the conferences' business what ND does. And "the system" "capitulates" because ND makes everyone a lot more money when they "capitulate".

    ACC has already said they'll accommodate ND, not that it matters much https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29559987/acc-sets-fall-football-plans-includes-notre-dame Fun fact, ND could win the ACC championship and go to the Orange Bowl as the ACC rep even thought they're "independent" Can we stop this charade? College football fans' intense focus on the status of ND's independence amidst a season that won't happen anyway continues to amuse me. Anyway, ND hasn't been truly independent since joining the ACC (and they are in the ACC, which is why the conference is doing this). They play 5 ACC games a year (on average), which are picked by the conference. They trade the other 3 (and any shot at a conference title) for USC, Stanford and Navy. Two of those 3 were ranked in 2019's final CFP rankings. Two of the entire ACC was ranked. As far as schedule strength, this is a non-issue. ACC football teams also make significantly more media-rights money (like $8M per year) than Notre Dame does, so financially, this is a non-issue. It's only an issue for those who demand conformity for some reason.

    This didn't work out
  13. Andy
    If we can keep them at 2 we'll be ahead by the end of 7
  14. Andy
    Gray is carving us up but it'd be nice if the ump would stop giving him strikes 2 inches off the plate and/or low
  15. Andy
    Symptoms, but no COVID. Too bad they didn't stick around a little longer.
  16. Andy
    He might have if he'd had the luxury of a third catcher, to be fair. But Ross' lineup management has definitely been A+ so far.
  17. Andy
    He was. I'm leaning towards that making this even a little funnier.
  18. Andy
    So Joe Kelly threw at both Bregman and Correa, got out of the inning without any runs (he actually struck out Correa), and then trolled the Astros until they cleared their dugout. Legend move.
  19. Andy
    If we can get this bullpen figured out this could be a damn good team.
  20. Andy
    If you start the next inning you have to get to three total batters faced. I'm thinking this is a bad rule change. One of the main factors for instituting the 3 batter rule was to speed up the game. So now if a reliever faces one or two batters and the inning ends, he comes back out for a batter, only to probably/possibly stop the game for a pitching change when it could've been done in between innings. You can make the change between innings if you want. It's just if you don't, the 3 batter minimum holds for the pitcher you leave in.

    Well Javy's back
  22. Andy
    Strop coming in against us will never not be weird.
  23. Andy
    I was one more bad Javy AB from mentioning he'd been bad, but uh, that was a wicked line shot.
  24. Andy
    Kipnis had a really nice AB there. Like what I'm seeing from him so far
  25. Andy
    Because having an entire bullpen full of bums is his fault?He did leave Kimbrel out there too long, but that's pretty garden variety "faith in your closer" stuff. It's not like Joe was any different there.
