    Certainly did a lot with it

    Sounds like what we all feared is the reality for Ben Brown

    The start time for this game tonight is actually pretty wild. Here is what time the game starts locally for the 4 participants: USA ET: 10pm (75% of US population is in ET or CT) Paraguay: 11pm Türkiye: 5am Australia: Noon Literally only convenient for the US West Coast (which I get it, the game is hosted there) and Australia.

    Baseball is just the weirdest sport ever. The Cubs start going into a slump and you tell yourself "meh, I've seen this a million times it happens every baseball season" and then it continues on so long that you start to wonder "what if this isn't a slump and they just suck", and then when you hit the lowest point suddenly the bats spring to life again and start hitting like they did before. And when they slump it pretty much doesn't matter who you face. You could be facing Cy Young winners every night or you could be facing Michael Lorenzen, doesn't matter you're getting shut down (BTW after back to back 1 run outings against the Cubs Lorenzen went back to his standard 4+ ER start against the Pirates). And so now we surge again apparently and start tracking "haven't done this well since" statistics when last week we were tracking "haven't sucked this badly since" statistics. Such a weird sport....

    That's like the 3rd time I've done that lol. My brain can't accept that there's a Jacob Webb
  6. UMFan83
    Peterson has been on the Cubs for an hour, is he injured yet?
  7. UMFan83
    Logan Webb has not been good lately
  8. UMFan83
    Baseball is so weird. Absolutely no clutch hitting for like 6 weeks now suddenly they can’t stop
  9. UMFan83
    Shota could have done that
  10. UMFan83
    Are the Cubs protesting challenging balls and strikes tonight for some reason?
  11. UMFan83
    Shota’s HRs allowed the last 7 starts: 2 3 3 4 0 (Rockies) 0 (Rockies) 3 (so far)
  12. UMFan83
    Some people are awful at knowing when to use challenges. Strike 3 with 2 on and 1 out in a 1 run game is a good time
  13. UMFan83
    LOLMets
  14. UMFan83
    Kind of wish we got that run home from 3rd with less than 2 outs now. But I guess I should be used to saying that
  15. UMFan83
    Gopher boy is back

    So unless a really weird and unlikely confluence of events occurs, the US will be facing Bosnia in the R32. That scenario is none of Groups A, C, D and F have a 3rd place knockout round qualifier which is probably unlikely.
  17. UMFan83
    Imagine hosting all your Group Stage games and not winning your group @ Canada
  18. UMFan83
    I obviously wanted Qatar over Bosnia, but when Bosnia took a 2-0 lead I started rooting for them because the last thing we need is a draw here. Now its 2-1 and getting a bit nerve-racking
  19. UMFan83
    As I said a couple weeks ago when he was still awful, Dansby has always been an insanely streaky hitter and was bound to start hitting.
  20. UMFan83
    The other option is Jordan Wicks sooo....
  21. UMFan83
    Yeah, they may not have the most injuries, their position players have actually been remarkably healthy (blame me when they start going down), its the fact that all of their injuries seem to be concentrated on the starting rotation (and some bullpen) is wild and more damaging than a team that might have their injuries spread out amongst different positions.
  22. UMFan83
    At the end of the day, I'm not sure the Bulls are heavily tanking but they likely don't care if they win this year. If they do, great, but they aren't going to try to fill all the holes on the roster in one offseason. I like they are going BPA and adding assets. We'll see what they do in FA or with those 2nd round picks but as skeptical as I am about anything Bulls related, I'm willing to wait to see how it all plays out with a new FO. One thing that bothered me but probably shouldn't was seeing Pax in the war room last night. No idea how much influence he has on roster decisions, if any, but just a reminder that you can make sweeping changes but some guys will seemingly never leave the Bulls entirely.
  23. UMFan83
    Not a bad thing for his arm to get a rest since he's a critical piece of the team going forward, but obviously horrifically bad timing for that. Rotation is now.... Shota, Boyd, Rea, Assad, Velasquez. Damn
  24. UMFan83
    Oh yeah. That was peak 2006 Cubs
  25. UMFan83
    Are they saying because he slid past the bag he was considered attempting to advance past 2nd? I’ve never heard of that happening.
