    man, just barely knicked his equipment

    Pacheco lowered his head right as Stevenson approached... Stevenson had it lined up to hit him with his shoulder, head got lowered right into Stevenson's head
  3. Rex Buckingham
    It's an inconsequential penalty, but how is Stevenson supposed to not hit him in the head?
  4. Rex Buckingham
    This inning is going to go so fast that Merryweather won't be warm yet
  5. Rex Buckingham
    Ja'Tyre Carter got rocked on that 3rd down
  6. Rex Buckingham
    we got a stop!
  7. Rex Buckingham
    why on earth can't we get Brenton Doyle out?
  8. Rex Buckingham
    He was pretty wild at times even within that though... but I don't know who else you go with right now

    That Miami offense is awesome... sure would be great if the Bears could hire a good offensive coach next time

    Justin Tucker missed a 61 yard FG to win, leaving 1 second on the clock. Indianapolis lined up for what looked like a hail mary, but Minshew basically just spiked the ball right after receiving the snap... not sure if it was because of the pressure, but the announcers were stunned
  11. Rex Buckingham
    I'm always shocked when such a free swinger like Morel takes a dickshot fastball like that for strike 3
  12. Rex Buckingham
    It's about dang time. To give Ross credit, Wisdom has been used very well in the 2nd half
  13. Rex Buckingham
    Bunting with our #3 hitter, with our best base stealer on, with nobody out down 1 to a terrible team... I don't know whether to hope Ross is incompetent and called for it or Happ is stupid and did it on his own
  14. Rex Buckingham
    yeah, k zone had 2 of those touching the zone, but not a one was a no doubt strike
  15. Rex Buckingham
    Nevermind
  16. Rex Buckingham
    I'm guessing Stro gets through the order once and then we see Wicks
  17. Rex Buckingham
    And the "hotter hitter" argument holds no water, since he had not (and still hasnt) hit in MLB. Worlds better on D, but not on offense. Tauchman playing wasn't bad, it was the fact that he was leading off that sucked.
  18. Rex Buckingham
    Yeah, their bullpen has been used a lot like ours. They've got 6 guys in the top 100 of MLB for appearances on the year, 4 in the top 50 (Cubs have 5 total)
  19. Rex Buckingham
    yeah, can't equate results with process
  20. Rex Buckingham
    Jared Young homers, just like we all expected when we saw his name in the lineup
  21. Rex Buckingham
    Can't ask for more from him. Let's spin the bullpen wheel and see what happens
  22. Rex Buckingham
    With the way this team is constructed (which, that's a whole other argument) they need to be able to win on the margins, and it just hasn't happened. Ross has seemingly not trusted enough guys early, leading to large workloads for guys with injury history like Alzolay and Fulmer and someone who has never faced a relief workload like this in Leiter Jr., and trusted guys like Cuas just because. Batting order doesn't matter a ton, but it seems to me that guys in horrible slumps (Happ earlier this year, Swanson now) have gotten way more ABs high in the order than their performance deserved. Anecdotally, it also seems like he has been too slow to react to his pitchers losing it, not having guys up when a starter is running out of gas, not getting guys up when pen arms clearly don't have it on a given night, etc.

    This game is our season in a nutshell... starts ok, then a blow up, then clawing back, looking good for a while, then a final collapse... I assume we'll score 2 in the 9th for a dead-cat bounce that will be taking the first 2 from the Rockies before we lose our final 7
  24. Rex Buckingham
    assuming the backup sucks (and I'm pretty sure Jumbo is right and it's Andy Dalton - who sucks) the Panthers are more likely to lose and thus improves that draft pick... it's a reach for something positive in a really ugly Bears week
  25. Rex Buckingham
    not sure who their backup is, but as with most NFL teams, he's probably not that good, so if Young doesn't play, that's good for the Bears
