I don't mind the look at the entirety of US Soccer(because honestly what else is there to do), but I feel like there's a bit of an insinuation that missing the world cup was because of some talent problem and therefore we need to deepen the pool, make high level soccer more accessible, etc. Those are all noble goals that should be pursued, but they aren't why the US didn't qualify. Our back line, probably the weakest part of the team, has multiple starters from the EPL, Bundesliga, and Liga MX in the pool. They have the talent to qualify with relative ease while missing half their best 11.

Ecuador with a 1st minute goal against Argentina. EDIT: And it's already 2-1 Argentina.

In more normal circumstances I would say yes, but given that our 4 starters are as interchangable as any playoff rotation I can remember, I'd stay the course and use the day to make Lester a multi-inning weapon in Game 4/5 if needed.
-
Dusty is terrified to use Madson because then he'd have to use Doolittle or someone bad in the 9th and it should cost him the game if there's any justice in the world

BUT WHY DID YOU LET CARL FACE HIM
-
Please make it hurt for leaving Scherzer in
-
you've been directing your anger very poorly in this series
-
Strop to get through Taylor or Turner is the right call here. Let him feast on the righties and Wieters.
-
you seem like you're in a good place
-
this is like Game 7 Chapman in the 9th inning except for half a game
-
bring in Edwards just to give Cubs Twitter an aneurysm
-
did Turner touch the base? He needed to with his right foot and he lifted it to follow through the throw awful quick
-
jon unhitch the trailer

Last time Scherzer pitched in Wrigley, Zobrist took him deep. Twice. That is not a great reason to start him(La Stella also took him deep that day) and it was 18 months ago, but it's something to cling to I guess.
-
Edwards had a sub-.600 OPS against on 0 days rest, only threw 11 pitches yesterday, and had 5 days rest prior to last night. I don't think that really played a part or is a huge concern.
-
Costa Rica scored in the 95th minute (!) to tie Honduras, so Honduras and Panama are on 10 points with the US at 12. CR and Mexico both now have nothing to play for so might not be able to count on them for much, but thankfully T&T is 1-3 at home and we've already beaten them 2-0. I'd sure take one of those 8th minute goals like yesterday though.
-
I assume it would get moved back if the AL series end in sweeps. Boston is scheduled for 1 p.m. Eastern so I don't know if they would move that back to 7 p.m. ET (Yankees start time) if the Indians win tomorrow or if they'd just move each game back 3 hours. If both AL series sweep, then it gets moved back to 5. If either the Yankees or Red Sox win, then the start time stays the same.
-
I'm not freaking out or anything but the Cubs have had a lot more than 1 bad inning. they have 10 hits in two games. The Nationals have 8, it's been a pitcher's zone, that's why there's been such smooth sailing on the mound. Losing a Gio start would be a bummer, but there's no harbingers of doom to take from this.
-
One inning goes poorly in 2 games and people are popping up out of the woodwork to worry about how this is the beginning of the end. For the life of me I cannot understand that mindset
-
the Cardinals lost that series so you are correct
