  1. It's almost like Chatwood shouldn't have even started the game. If only there was a way to know this before the game.
  2. This is the best. Intentional walk the leadoff man every inning. Or in Chatwood's case.....
  3. This is the "we need more than 1 run today, fam" lineup.
  4. I hate lineups with all the hitters stacked from one side of the plate. I could be making this all up, but I feel like a pitcher can get in a groove hitting the same part of the plate over and over (typically outside corner) with all LH or RH batters if pitching with the opposite hand.
  5. Good win. Hopefully, Lester is fixed.
  6. Oh I'm thinking Miller is most definitely going to play and play a lot. Yeah, Miller's fine. But from the sounds of things he earned it in camp. Believe he started with the 3rd team and was treated like a starter in the last preseason game.
  7. Somewhat of a refreshing take. I hate the sentiment that a rookie has to "earn it". You drafted him 8th. Everyone in that lockerroom knows he's a potential stud. Play him. Play Daniels and Miller while you're at it too. Go back in time and start Trubisky Week 1 last year.
  8. Yeah he'll be fine. I doubt he'll start (unless Trevathan is hurt, which is a decent possibility at this point). I'd imagine he'd get some reps in the nickel as soon as Week 1
  9. I'd keep one of those RBs. The whole "bird in the hand". IDK if your league is PPR, but Collins ADP is 3.10. Drake 4.04, so both have value in the 7th. Non-PPR, Collins up a little, Drake goes to 4.03 so no real change. I really like Collins, and he doesn't have much blocking him from high volume in the Ravens backfield. Drake has Gore who will likely get a lot of 1st down and goal line work. So, I'd lean Collins, but Drake in PPR is really intriguing. Either way, no picks between 5th and 8th rounds isn't a huge deal as you'll have 2 players and 6 picks (5 top 27) before that point. I assume that should be enough to fill most (if not all) of your starting lineup.

  11. First thing I saw when I got on the bus and checked my phone, was a tweet from JD saying, "I know you couldn't hear it, but I called it". Didn't even check the boxscore, but I knew it was a walk-off HR.
  12. The Cubs are now 2-for-2 with 2 walkoff grandslams when I go to bed in the top of the 9th after the road team breaks the game open with 2 runs.
  13. Hey Javy, a slider out of the zone is coming
  14. So, is this it for Lester? 31 or more starts every year since 2008, with 20 more playoff starts (and 2 relief appearances). 34 isn't ancient, but it's conceivable that that arm is pretty close to being done.
  15. I wish I had your confidence. I'm just not feeling it today. I didn't have confidence in the "if" part.
