  1. Seriously you have like 6 guys stretched out to pitch 3+ innings and your season is on the brink. It’s really time to put someone else in but no one is even warming
  2. That…doesn’t really narrow it down really at all
  3. Cubs trying to set a record for most HRs allowed, but they only have 2 games to do it. Gonna be close
  4. Ugh, I'd rather have Bregman in the lineup at DH than not at all but not loving Ramirez at 3B
  5. Interestingly enough I was reading that the marine layer that normally suppresses fly balls is virtually non-existent tonight.
  6. It's a glitch in the matrix, don't let anyone tell you they remember when the Cubs claimed him and put him on the roster.
  7. No Thielbar, Arias somehow on the roster. Only 1 pure bullpen lefty though I imagine some combo of Shota and Peterson will be used for matchups
  8. Apparently the Bears-Packers game has been moved from a 3:25 start to a noon start.
  9. Thieneman is a stud. Just thinking back to that sequence where he forced Barkley out at the 1 yard line on 1st down, then stuffed him for a loss on 2nd down, and then intercepted Dalton on 3rd down. Dude has brought immediate impact to the defense.
  10. I honestly don't think it was a miracle. I'm not saying Keenum is a starting QB in 2026 or anything like that but the dude is an experienced QB who has had success in the NFL. He was brought on as an expensive 3rd QB because of his experience and ability to run an offense even with diminished skills. Pair him with an offensive psycho who likely spent his idle time building an offensive gameplan for Keenum in the event he was never needed because why not, and you get a QB primed for some success. I'm not saying he can necessarily do this for an extended period but I'm leaning towards preferring him vs the Jets, though as I've said here I'm not as big of a fan of Bagent as others are (think he's fine just not this starting QB waiting to happen)
  11. Basically about 0.1 seconds away from shutting them out tonight. Wild
  12. I don’t think it was a piss poor first half. It was mostly well played with some glaring mistakes
  13. Ben’s my guy I have faith in him but that was simply a bonehead decision. I’m all about aggression but his plays on bold plays have largely failed and when you have a 3rd string QB you take the horsefeathers points.
  14. Shota vs marine layer is quite the epic matchup in this series
  15. So Boyd starting tomorrow. He’s started twice against the Padres this year giving up 8 ER in 9 IP
  16. Probably the latter. He's cleared from the concussion, I think the main reason Keenum is starting is because he took all the first team reps and was involved in installing the game plan.
  17. I honestly can't predict, it could go either way. I think at some point our pitching won't hold up and we will be bested but whether that happens this week or like in the NLCS, I don't know. I still believe baseball playoffs are largely a weighted crapshoot and the small sample size can lead to unexpected results (see Rangers/Diamondbacks World Series a couple of years ago).
