    Just making uneducated guesses Tigers over Astros in 3 Royals over Orioles in 2 Mets over Brewers in 3 Padres over Braves in 2 Guardians over Tigers in 4 Yankees over Royals in 3 Phillies over Mets in 5 Dodgers over Padres in 5 Yankees over Guardians in 6 Phillies over Dodgers in 6 Phillies over Yankees in 4 literally spent 30 seconds of thought on this and didn’t watch massive chunks of the season besides the Cubs (though did generally know what was going on daily)

    Expanded playoffs. The WC2 and WC3 teams play a doubleheader the day after the season every year while the next best team sits at home. If the WC2 or WC3 team sweeps the DH, the next best team gets WC3 and takes the spot of the team swept. Theres like 99.5% of me who thinks thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard and 0.5% of me thinks its genius. Imagine watching the Marlins and DBacks having to play a doubleheader the day after the season last year with us hoping that for some reason one of them swept the other so the Cubs could make the playoffs.

    I believe its Max. I watched the first episode awhile back but forgot about it...will have to go back and watch the rest now.

    Bet he makes the HOF within the next decade. Sad though…dude horsefeathered up big time and destroyed a reputation of him as the ultimate bad ass baseball player. RIP

    Especially because winning gets them a series across the country against the Padres starting tomorrow night while losing gets the a series against the Brewers. I think I'd rather play the Brewers, especially considering the 2000 less miles to travel tonight

    Mets win. Crazy to me that Diaz threw 40 pitches. Will he be available for any of the first 2 games of their Wild Card series? I'm sure do-or-die in Game 2 they'd pitch Diaz but not sure if he'll be at his best.

    Obligatory win probability chart:

    I guess if you're a DBacks fan, seeing both teams wear out the back end of their pens is a good thing though I'm sure everyone will be available for Game 2. Chris Sale is going for the Braves in Game 2 right? Yikes

    I cant imagine having a rooting interest in this game. This is absolutely incredible and why baseball is so cool

    Wild stuff. Whoever loses is gonna be devastated and then have to turn around and play a due or die game 20 minutes later. This is bonkers

    I know this is too optimistic after one win especially after I spent half the game bitching and suggesting we fire the OC but the schedule sets up really nice to go 6-3 or dare I say it 7-2. But after that it turns pretty brutal. In fact, for the Bears to have a hope of playing meaningful games late into the season they should probably on themselves a favor and get through the first 9 at 6-3 or better. Carolina, Jacksonville (London), bye, at Washington, at Arizona, New England. Get there at 6-3 and your 8 remaining games are the 6 divisional games, at San Francisco and home vs Seattle.

    Yep exactly what I was thinking. The fact that these teams have to play a freaking doubleheader and then turn around and play a best of 3 series the very next day suggests that whoever wins the first game is going to lay down for the second one. Screw integrity of the game crap, that’s an extremely unique position to be in and you can’t destroy your postseason hopes for the sake of giving the Diamondbacks a fair shot. Crazier things have happened but a split seems pretty likely

    This is not a brag thing or anything, I’m just legitimately curious if Kyle’s “no elite punters” position has changed? Definitely just one game but he had a legitimate impact on today’s win Edit: Relevant tweet:

    Ahh yes I remember the fun arguments about who was at fault for Fields’ snap fumbles
  17. UMFan83
    Well it took 28 innings but the Reds finally scored in this series. Funny that the Cubs started the 10th by picking off the extra runner, only to give up 2 runs
  18. UMFan83
    Man that was awesome. I can’t stress enough how important it was to win that game. You cannot blow a 2 score 4th quarter lead at home to go to 1-3. Instead, we saw the offense come alive and Caleb take some major steps forward as he legitimately led the Bears to victory today. Obviously Swift making a major leap today is huge too but the way Caleb looked so incredibly poised in the pocket in the 2nd half was awesome.

    Holy crap I enjoyed football!

    Stafford about to hurt us. I hope I’m wrong
  21. UMFan83
    Ok if they don’t get this we’re gonna have a terrifying situation where the Rams will have 1:05ish left to score a TD and win I like aggression but not in favor of getting cute and putting it in the air
  22. UMFan83
    Line is stepping up and RBs are finding holes. Good stuff
  23. UMFan83
    Before every snap I’m watching the line thinking “please don’t jump”
  24. UMFan83
    Alright. Need about 3 first downs
  25. UMFan83
    Obviously the offense has looked really solid in the 2nd half and I’m very encouraged but we have to figure out why we can’t get our WRs involved more. Moore, Allen and Rome have combined for 7 catches for 51 yards
