I don't understand people bitching about watching something they purport to enjoy being too long and boring. Baseball is like an opera and for a fan of the teams/game, the ups and downs and pauses make it that much more compelling. It's for the World Series where one mistake can make or break a season. Because nothing is happening in that extra time. We're not getting 4 hours of baseball, we're getting 2.5 hours of baseball spread over four hours. It's the sports equivalent of a Judd Apatow movie. More like we're getting 30 minutes of baseball action over 4 hours. Also, horsefeathers these managers and their overmanaging. Greinke had given up 3 hits on 56 pitches over 4 innings the other night and Dusty pulled him. Why? Why is this the thing now? We had World Series for over 100 years where the starter went 6 or 7 innings, now managers can't get out of their own way.

At least this one had runs. Game 3 was over the 2 hour mark, it was 1-0 and they weren’t even through 5. Overmanaging + too many commercials + no pitch clock
-
This game has been on for 2hrs 15 min and we aren't even half way done. JFC
-
A lot of people lost money on that Jets game. Probably lost in their survivor pools as well
-
Vuc really tanked those shooting numbers Yes, though Ball wasn't great either
-
Didn't expect PSU to win, but their effort was pretty impressive. OSU is just better
-
Terrible shooting, but the free throw shooting (and defense) bailed them out
-
They can control their own fate by beating Penn State and Ohio State right? Not if MSU also defeats PSU and OSU
-
As someone with no skin in this game, it has been very entertaining
-
What a weird ending. Total brain fart by Green
-
This quick turn around and hot start just puts a fine point on how awful the GarPax era was (and how many years they wasted being a mediocre mess)
-
Yup
-
Easily, Penn State is winning at most, two more games this season, Rut and MD. The MD game is questionable, its at MD, could see them getting blown out or winning a close game. It's insane that they beat Wiscy on the road and Auburn at home, but completely turned into a pumpkin against Iowa and can't recover
-
I've seen that exact same dumb sentiment from some conservative "friends" on social media. UGH
-
That's all you had to say
-
Him begging out of Columbus has turned out to be a total blessing for the Blue Jackets
-
Bengals are fun. Chiefs are bad Jets are brutal
-
Ohio State by 100 points
-
18 look TD through regulation and 9 OT is not to be believed
-
Sure, but managers have been over-managing the postseason for 6 or 7 years now. Maddon did it during the Cubs’ title year
-
I know that this will sound like "Old Man Shake Fist at Cloud", but when did managers lose their minds when it comes to managing their pitching staffs in the post season? The fact that a team could potentially have to throw a "bullpen game" in a Game 7 is mind numbing. Why does a team that won 100+ games suddenly think they only have like two good starters and that they need to micromanage every game?
-
Miami either has assurances that Watson will be reinstated/allowed to play (or they're just dumb, which is just as likely)
-
3 pts and 1 assist from the bench so far. Not great
-
Sinclair hit with major ransomware attack. You hate to see it.
-
Yeah, we know. I can't get mad at Rodgers about kicking our ass repeatedly when our stupid team keeps being stupid. He has every right to gloat
