Mariners take the lead. What a bonkers game. Sadly rooting for no baseball tomorrow
-
Don't know that I've ever seen a box score where one team (OU) had five different players with a pass attempt Michigan had 7 different players attempt and complete a pass against UConn a few weeks ago. But certainly a little different in a buy game vs against your arch rival lol

My stance on the extra innings runner has already been stated multiple times, but I will say it is really strange to suddenly play under different rules during the postseason. If the extra innings runner is how baseball is going to be played now, then it should probably apply in the postseason too. But I will hate it until the day I die. I still hope that MLB will eventually go back to the old rules for regular season games too, but that hope is fading. The point of the rule is to speed things up and decrease strain on teams pitching staffs during a grueling season. This is very similar to why NHL does the same thing with 3-on-3 OT followed by a shootout and then normal 5-on-5 sudden depth in the playoffs. The variance is probably evened out over a 162 game season but in the playoffs you can afford to allow teams to play “normal” baseball games. I’m 100% against the Manfred man. I can’t stand it. I’ll never accept it. But I don’t see the point of keeping it going in the playoffs. But that’s just me

Rays with a Cubs like postseason showing with 1 run in 18 innings.
-
Michigan is going to have a ton of trouble with a rested PSU next week if they stick with this vanilla offense.
-
Well it could be that was well as Lincoln Riley is a good coach and took his star QB with him
-
So if game 1 winners finish their series off we're looking at Padres/Dodgers, Braves/Phillies, Mariners/Astros, Guardians/Yankees. 3 division rival matchups out of 4.

what the heck?

i don't like going to 6 teams but I love the best of 3 much better than one game. We've had these arguments before, I know most love them but i hated the idea that you could earn a playoff spot and have it all be over because of a bad start or a degrom or someone mowing you down. This gives teams a little more margin for error but still makes the games feel do or die.

There we go, Phils win
-
omg game tying HR by Molina with 2 outs in the 9th would be too much for me to deal with
-
This is great. Combination of closer melt down and BABIP luck for Philly. One of the more enraging ways to lose a game
-
Damn would have been really cool if the WNT didn't lose at England
-
Figured it would happen once the Phillies went into to their pen and sure enough
-
Speaking of....5 mins before game time in Toronto: Cleveland after the 1st inning: St. Louis:
-
Hilarious seeing the number of empty seats in St Louis.
-
This TB-CLE game is going so fast its only going to overlap PHI-STL which starts 2 hours after by a few minutes at this rate
-
Meanwhile the Seahawks look just about as competitive as Denver so far

https://theathletic.com/3662490/2022/10/06/chicago-cubs-rebuild-front-office/?source=user_shared_article If you have the athletic, really long sourced article talking about basically everything that’s gone on behind the scenes over the last couple of years and what the FO is focusing on. There’s a lot of interesting stuff in there and I recommend taking some time to read
-
Phillies? I mean I don't love Philadelphia sports and their fans but the 11 year drought plus Schwarber plus Castellanos plus the potential ability to say the Cubs went 6-0 against the pennant/WS winner is enough to make me favorable towards them.

Herbert is really a liability blocking. Like he can't be a starting RB level liability. He gets the flash plays as a runner, but that's literally all he does. Bears probably have to re-sign Montgomery, or else they'll probably need to draft a RB on Day 2 or early Day 3, I'd imagine. Oh and it does sound like they are reconsidering Mustipher starting. Getsy said something about trying to find a combination. ESPN depth chart has JaTyre Carter at LG with Patrick at C. Still have Schofield as well. Carter intrigues me. 4 of 5 OL with less than a season's worth of experience each. Might as well see what you have if Justin's going to die anyway. Yeah it kind of sucks because it would seem like such an obvious move to let Montgomery walk and make Herbert the lead back. If he had a solid pass blocking line/TEs you may be able to get away with it but I'm not sure we are anywhere close to that right now. I still don't think we should resign Montgomery. Solid but unspectacular back but I'm against a 2nd contract for RBs unless they are elite.

Jose Quintana is starting game 1 of a playoff series by choice in the year 2022 Anyways mostly made this to kick off the discussion but also to bitch about the schedule. Similar to the 2020 playoffs they are stacking a bunch of games early when everyone is working. Yes its nice to have playoff baseball when working but I would have loved to have a 9pm game to watch while I'm enjoying my Friday night. Here is day 1 schedule 11:07 - Rays (McClanahan) @ Guardians (Bieber) 1:07 - Phillies (Wheeler) @ Cardinals (Quintana) 3:07 - the Seattle horsefeathering Mariners (Castillo) at Blue Jays (Manoah) 7:07 - Padres (Yu!) @ Mets (Scherzer) Day 2 schedule is broken up a little better with games at 11, 3, 6:30 and 7:30 WC predictions: Rays over Guardians in 3 Phillies over Cardinals in 3 Mariners over Blue Jays in 2 Mets over Padres in 2 Lets get wild

what the...

Yeah, when every drop back is a race between the ball and the nose tackle to see who can make it to Fields first, there tend to be a lot of QB pressures. Fields got about as much pass protection from Mustiphar that he'd have gotten from an automated snapping machine. Though maybe the NT would occasionally trip over the snapping machine and provide a throwing window. PFF grades a corded snapping machine at 31.5 for pass blocking. 10.6 for cordless

The only way it happens is some combo of: 1) Patrick Williams improves into at least a viable contributing starter (I realize he’ll probably start but if he’s averaging 6ppg and looking tentative that’s not the leap you need) 2) The Bulls manage to swing a trade or 2 at the deadline to improve some of our deficiencies 3) Lonzo does return this year and turns out to be the difference maker that so many Bulls fans are hoping he is based on how the Bulls played the first half of last year.
