    I saw that. I was at the same game. The infamous Adrian Peterson game....he didn't have to wait long to get his first Bears heartbreak.

    The game he messed up his ankle early and Michigan couldn’t block Chop Robinson? It was bad enough that he was limping into the stadium the next week and they almost pulled him at halftime against Maryland because he was in so much pain. If that game was so damning, he wouldn’t have been a top 10 pick.

    In 2023 the Rangers were 42-45 against above .500 teams and won the World Series, the Astros lost to them in Game 7 of the ALCS and were 42-43, and the Diamondbacks lost to the Rangers in that World Series and were 40-50. In 2022, the Padres and Phillies squared off in the NLCS with the Padres having a 38-44 record against above .500 teams and Phillies 34-47. It really doesn't matter imo.

    They have 22 games to learn how to hit again. I would never have imagined in June that its the offense that I'd be so worried about but here we are.

    The Dilfer comparison doesn’t make sense to me. Dilfer had a big arm but he was inaccurate and a total statue in the pocket. JJ’s game is built on accuracy, efficiency, and he can actually move around and make plays when things break down. Totally different style of QB. Michigan’s offense in 2023 wasn’t average, they were something like 12th in the country in offensive SP+. Harbaugh ran a really conservative, run heavy system because he had the best defense in the country. It wasn’t built to put up video game numbers like Washington or Oregon, but it was still really good. Within that setup JJ still completed 72 percent of his passes, threw 22 touchdowns with only 4 picks, and had one of the best efficiency ratings in the country. When they needed him to make plays he almost always did. Not saying that means he’ll be an elite QB. He’s not perfect but he has a solid arm and great poise and leadership abilities. Like most QBs coming into the league, his ability to adjust to the speed of the NFL and being able to process plays quickly will be a big factor in whether he will succeed. Having O’Connell coaching him definitely helps. (C’mon I had to make one last defense of JJ before I have to start hating him on Monday)

    1 run on 4 hits. What a stupid game
  7. UMFan83
    They have an off day tomorrow right? Why are Ben Brown and Drew Pomeranz bringing us home
  8. UMFan83
    Oh do share how you can tell that
  9. UMFan83
    Maybe score more than 1 run against a pitcher with an ERA near 6?
  10. UMFan83
    How many innings in a row is McGuire gonna let the tying run get to 2B on a passed ball?
  11. UMFan83
    As bad as Brown has been, that’s 3 strikes called balls so far. Grr
  12. UMFan83
    Not a smart idea to start 3-0 to the 8 and 9 hitters to bring up Acuna, Olsen, Albies, etc
  13. UMFan83
    Dat xFIP tho
  14. UMFan83
    Cubs turned into a terrible base stealing team yeesh
  15. UMFan83
    Hopefully 3 days off helps but I'm not sure...I think we just need to take what we can get from PCA at this point and hope he works out the offensive issues.
  16. UMFan83
    It's times like these I beg Mr. Ken Tremendous to restart FireJoeMorgan.com. It's time.
  17. UMFan83
    At the very least we’re making them a little nervous at this point.
  18. UMFan83
    From an article I pulled up:
  19. UMFan83
    Not sure. Is it possible it was originally a Mon-Wed series and they moved the other games to Wed and Thurs to prevent the MLB from breaking the CBA by making them play 21 games in 20 days?
  20. UMFan83
    I know I’m the only weirdo still keeping tabs on the Reds but they lost so the lead is 10 with 23 games to go. If they went 11-12 the rest of the way, the Reds would have to go 21-2 to tie the Cubs (and presumably surpass them unless both losses were to the Cubs and the Cubs somehow still won the divisional tiebreaker)
  21. UMFan83
    Cubs obviously did which is why they decided to save their energy and not score any more.
  22. UMFan83
    80 wins before 60 losses. I always find records look so much cooler when it’s something like 80-59 as opposed to 81-60
  23. UMFan83
    And the Cubs decided to just score in the one inning today.
  24. UMFan83
    Against Albies, and guys with 20 and 17 HR this year.
  25. UMFan83
    Is it just me or is the score 4-3 in the 8th inning in like 80% of Cubs games since mid-July
