  1. I literally just learned Joe Buck went to IU and is married to Michelle Beisner of ESPN when I wiki'd it to make sure it was true.
  2. A player making contact and remaining completely on top of base but very briefly not actually having contact and being called out is just not 'right'. An over slide is a completely different thing. This. Overslides, over-running the base, those are completely different than Javy's slide. Again, I don't think the people who determined how replay was going to be used really considered a slight disconnect from the base. I look at it as a loophole that managers are exploiting. Especially since in instances like Javy's slide, it's incredibly subtle. Agree. I think it's akin to the NFL reviews, in that you can't review one thing and come back and change the ruling on something else. I think in almost all cases, the opposing manager is reviewing if the tag got there before the baserunner touched the base. I feel like reviewing and coming back with "well, no he didn't tag him before he got to the base.....but he moved off the base slightly while the tag was still there" is pretty weak. Especially considering the tag could be a big part of the reason why the player ever so slightly came off the bag.
  3. Great, now I'm expecting a 13K 1-hitter, because he did that 1 time.
  4. I think I'm winning because Baez is less unlikely, because he's probably going to start every game.
  5. Part of me wonders if Maddon put Arrieta 3rd in the rotation because of MadBum. Arrieta seems like the type that would take it personal that MadBum will get the hype from his previous elimination game performances.
  6. I'm assume he's giving them Posey, Pence, and Crawford (debatable even then), but I have no idea where he's getting a 4th from.
  7. Rondon has either sucked or been hurt for the better part of 2 months.
  8. I'm an optimist but I think so. Worst case he gets moved to game 3 next round to give him an extra 2 days. My thoughts also.
  9. Ready for Addison to start hitting. Well, not his fault there.
  10. FWIW, with Posey and Pence coming up next inning, the right move is Carl Edwards to the mound.
  11. Well, I think the wildcard game is stupid (I know the Cubs benefitted from it last year)......so I think this would be OK by me and eliminate the 2nd WC. Either that or add a 3rd WC team and go 2-2-3 for all division winners.
  12. I actually like Wood against this LH heavy lineup. He can give us 4 outs scoreless, I'll take our chances with the rest of the pen and the bats scoring more.
