    This is why baseball takes forever. Stupid pitcher won't throw a pitch

    Duffy: Somehow Ted Williams

    A nice walkoff HBP would be hilarious

    That's a great bat flip on a sac fly

    I know, right? the cubs, for instance, ALWAYS get a guy in from 3rd with less than 2 outs. So you're saying they should try to get them in from 2nd instead? Seems likely

    You think the road team should do that? im mildly surprised when the home team doesnt do it when its still tied but im sure they gamed it out and have determined theyd rather take 3 chances of hitting a single instead of 1 chance to get a sac fly and 1 chance at a single Right, I'm sure the stats say that there is a 2.7% better chance of doing that
  7. Derwood
    I don't understand why every team doesn't just bunt with the first guy and then hope to (at least) hit a sac fly or grounder to the right to get the run in
  8. Derwood
    JAKE!!

    If we had 9 Matt Duffy's in the lineup, we'd be up 20-2

    Growing up, the Warren Moons or the Randall Cunningham’s of the league were the rare exception, as the QB role was overwhelmingly white. But that has shifted so much over the past 20 years that it’s kinda crazy that a team with so much QB turnover hasn’t accidentally started a black QB a few times. It’s not like we’ve had a Brady or Rodgers filling the spot for 15+ years...

    I know the thread title was changed in jest, but it's a little jarring to look back and see that outside of one start by Jason Campbell in 2012, the Bears haven't actually had a black starting QB since Kordell Stewart in 2003.

    Cue Cubs losing three of the next four. We're absolutely losing the Pirates series
  17. Derwood
    Imagine if we had scored even one of those runs. Imagine....

    Not KB's best game

    Joc is really really bad

    Tony TOOTBLAN thrown out at the plate

    Bryant guessed wrong. Don't guess on 3-2
  23. Derwood
    This season is going great
  24. Derwood
    I'll take where I'm at considering I only have 2 players who are "best at their position". I was feeling good about my "no Cubs" team earlier in the year, but Bryant and Contreras are making me rue that decision

    They’re mostly too long to people who don’t actually like baseball. It’s like saying that soccer games are too low scoring; that’s part of the game. The only REAL way to shorten games would be fewer commercial breaks, but that’s never going to happen No, baseball games ARE significantly longer, and it's mostly due to delays caused by pitching bull horsefeathers. I remember seeing several breakdowns comparing games from within the last 10 years to games from the 90's and 80's, and the commercial time difference was minimal. The biggest difference, by far, in terms of something they could actually (and pretty easily) do something about was the time taken by pitchers between pitches and batters. It often added something like an extra 20 minutes or more per game. Unleash the horsefeathering pitch clock. I’m down with a pitch clock. But announcers were bitching about slow pitching back in the 90’s
