  1. I dont think anyone except Colorado and Detroit were offering those contracts.
  2. Absolutely, it's money first. But if a team that has sucked is offering 5/125 and a team that won its division the year before is offering 5/100, they might at least let the contender negotiate a bit more. If the offers are reversed, the non-contender gets a flat no.
  3. I felt like they were a good baserunning team too. Shoot, Game 7 had KB scoring from 1st on Rizzo's single, Almora tagging and going 1st to 2nd on a deep fly ball, and KB scoring in a shallow fly ball.
  4. Winning the division also looks a lot better to FAs, I would think.
  5. Yeah, no. Stealing 3rd with Candelario there would have been a worse call than the bunt. If Tauchman was on 2nd and Candelario on 1st, it's a different story - but stealing 3rd with a guy who isn't a base stealer is asking for trouble
  6. Just pinch hit Gomes for Amaya instead of bunting. He's repeatedly come up big in the clutch.
  7. I wonder what Tauchman's WPA is over the last month
  8. Last night's pitching matchup wasas bad of a matchup as we could have in this series. Our worst (yes, I'd consider Assad/Wesneski/Bullpen game better than Smyly) against their best. Hopefully we give Alonso the Bonds treatment. After him, their lineup is so weak
  9. I know we don't have many options, but it sucks that we keep giving starts to Smyly
  10. Eloy in the Wrigley OF is a career-ending injury waiting to happen.
  11. the world series champ ones were good spaces to remember random guys and get low scores
  12. https://twitter.com/_MarcusD3_/status/1688297831822438400?t=7exGY3dNBDzXVR6YQJvyHA&s=19
  13. 1 horrible inning from Hendricks aside, we dominated that series
  14. Wouldn't be surprised if Anderson has a mild concussion. That was nasty.
  15. So glad we pulled that one out. If we can pull off a series win with Steele on the mound tomorrow, that's huge. Gotta send someone, maybe a couple guys, down to get some fresh arms int he pen. Wish Boxberger and/or Hughes was ready to return
  16. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 125 9/9: Rarity: 50 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: https://immaculategrid.com @immaculategrid x @baseball_ref
  17. Unbelievable that he was so good to start and then so bad the next time through. They were hitting rockets left and right, no cheapies
