  1. Honestly Illinois arguably shouldn't even be in the top 25 after this. That was just a huge embarrassment.
  2. How can a team that is going to win 90 games feel so consistently bad?
  3. So Oriole pitcher Trevor Rogers started the year recovering from injury and missed a good deal of the season. Since his return, in 106.2 IP he has posted a 1.35 ERA 2.31 FIP and 3.85 xFIP with with 3.6 fWAR going into tonight's 6IP 1H 0ER 2BB 7K performance. Does he show up on the Cy Young ballet despite the limited innings?
  4. On the plus side I have Ceedee Lamb on my team, so yay?
  5. If they can lock up the #1 WC seed, I'd like to see Boyd skipped or at least pushed back a few days. He has thrown way more innings then he has in the past and even his mental game could probably use a breather.
  6. From a strictly fan point of view, sure. From a team composition and age perspective, I'm out. You've got Ballesteros and Seiya who are this point are both basically DHs. To then bring in another DH on top of that, who is going to be 33 on opening day and likely want 4 or 5 year deal, nah I want no part of that.
  7. I'm not even mad at the Brewers. Kudos on what could be a 100 win season. Winning 93ish games wins you division far more often than not, just not this year.
  8. Before the season there is no world I would have believed that the Cubs would have had to win roughly 100 games to take the division. If you had told me they were going to 92 or 93 games I would have told you they probably won the division by at least half a dozen games.
  9. Nico doesn't get enough love. The guy is at 4.6 fWAR so far this year and 19.8 fWAR for his career. A very good chance he finishes his career with more than 30 fWAR, maybe even 35. That would put him in the same territory as guys like Aramis Ramirez and Derek Lee.
  10. I mean, NL ROY has to be all but locked up at this point no?
  11. Another strong start. His season ERA is down to 2.66, his record is sitting at 11-4 and even his peripherals are starter to look strong. His FIP is now to down 3.53.
  12. It was on ESPN.com when I posted that.
  13. Um, I had no idea he'd been called up only a couple months after he was drafted and that he's starting. That's pretty crazy.
  14. Daniels is having knee surgery and status is uncertain McCarthy hurt his and is out 2-4 weeks. Burrow is done for 3 months
  15. On the plus side of things, for QBs in their first two years By QBR Those ahead of Caleb #15) Michael Penix - 62.6 #16) Drake maye- 60.3 #17) Caleb Williams - 57.7 Those behind Caleb #18) Spencer Rattler - 57.6 #26) Bo Nix - 43.6 #28) Jayden Daniels- 39.1 #32) J.J McCarthy - 20.4 #33) Cam Ward - 19.9 Other notables #27) Justin Fields - 41.7 #30) Bryce Young - 36.4
  16. I'll be interested to see the snap count for week 2 for Loveland and Burden. It felt like even less than week 1 where Loveland had a 56.7% and Burden a 26.9%
  17. They had 3 glaring weaknesses in DE/OL/RB they chose to do the absolute minimum on 2 of the 3.
  18. Ball in the bottom of the zone called a ball. Next pitch below the zone is a strike. Next pitch even lower out of the zone is also a strike.
  19. Detroit has an actual defense.
  20. Yes Russell Wilson threw for 454 yards, but holy horsefeathers that last throw in overtime was awful.
  21. You're also missing more than 60 yards in drops and constantly being set back by penalties.
  22. I thought Caleb looked good today. When half your drives end up at 2nd and 20+ due to stupid penalties, what do you want him to do?
