  1. There is nowhere on this field we can hit the ball.
  2. Rich is not getting the call Randy just got on the 2-1.
  3. He'd have to be more economical with the pitches, and the ump needs to start calling his strikes strikes.
  4. Harden takes it out on the rest of the team.
  5. 1st baserunner too. Harden got Milt Pappas'ed. He threw 4 strikes that AB.
  6. Johnson is throwing nothing but strikes and we're hitting them hard. Not sure what else can be done.
  7. Apparently just because it's not the playoffs doesn't mean we can find a hole.
  8. The cards are just setting it up for another walk off slam by Miles. This time they want extra style points. Miles is due up 8th, so they're really gonna have to be careful to pull that off. Not impossible though.
  9. One half-inning break out of like 16, or the entire game (if you're there). Chase is worse.
  10. This is why I wanted Rich the second I heard he was available. I had no idea he was this good, though.
  11. Yep. Pretty much. I'm already excited for Saturday and this game's not even over yet.
  12. Actually, and it just occurred to me, Purdue is at home and MSU is on the road because it was the reverse last year. Not that that changes anything.
  13. Practically zero unless he suddenly fails to secure another top 10 recruiting class, although if he goes 7-5/6-6 with the schedule put before him it'd be interesting to see the reaction. ND's schedule is practically begging for 8 wins or more if the team improves as much as freshmen-to-sophomore improvement normally would suggest they will. ETA: Only morons call him the genius, this term is now used almost exclusively by Internet trolls. I'm not entirely sure I see more than 6-7 wins for sure. San Diego State, Stanford, Navy, Washington and Syracuse are relatively sure wins (Stanford and Navy might be in question, but probably not) North Carolina could be a win, but I'm not sure ND is much better than UNC right now - it's definitely not a sure thing. Otherwise, ND has one sure loss (USC) and five tough games (Michigan, @Purdue, Michigan State, Pitt and @BC). Given that, I'm not sure 8 wins is a sure thing. Less than 6-7 would be awful though. I think ND has a good chance of winning two of the five tough games - even the reprehensibly bad early-season version of the Irish managed to hang with MSU and Purdue last year, and Pitt isn't very good, plus it's at home. Obviously, I'm banking on a lot of improvement, though. Your assessment of the schedule's pretty good.
  14. A little part of me died inside when he started talking about "talent players" v. "effort players" On Sportscenter before the game, he said "The Cardinals believe in themselves, and that's all that matters." I'm sure the Royals believe in themselves, why aren't they in a pennant race? Hell, the Reds had to be believing after Dusty got hired, where are they?
  15. Yeah, that was pretty easy.
  16. Practically zero unless he suddenly fails to secure another top 10 recruiting class, although if he goes 7-5/6-6 with the schedule put before him it'd be interesting to see the reaction. ND's schedule is practically begging for 8 wins or more if the team improves as much as freshmen-to-sophomore improvement normally would suggest they will. ETA: Only morons call him the genius, this term is now used almost exclusively by Internet trolls.
  17. Not only should they be projected, it'd be disappointing if they didn't. Tampa and Carolina could potentially be good enough to topple them if things fall right, but NO is the class of the division at the moment by a decent margin.
