:-k :? :-k :? -
I don't hate it. It's a nice balance of the restaurants, sports and entertainment a city gives you, while being extremely affordable The fervor over Ohio State was pretty annoying. I'd be out on a Saturday and people would ask why I am not wearing Scarlet and Gray. It was like some sort of cult. I went to college with a lot of Ohio State fans and they're pretty much the reason OSU is the only Big Ten school I don't root for.

The problem with using Lackey in game 2 is it either forces you to skip a starter or not use a starter until a game 5 that may not happen, or use Lackey in two games. OTOH, in the scenario where game 5 may not happen you have two fully rested SP in game 4 ready to unload.
-
Does that change Lesters routine at all though?
-
Game 2 is the only game that has any rest worries either way. EDIT: I like the latter path because not only do you avoid giving Lackey a start, but the people who do get extra rest (Lester after 3 outings in 8 days, Arrieta with his hammy) are most likely to benefit from it. I worry about Lester game 2, but I guess if he looks bad early and the game gets out if hand you just hand the ball over to Lackey and say, just help our bullpen keep rested?
-
Sooo Q- "Normal rest" Lackey - Extended rest Lester - +1 day rest Hendricks +1 day rest (Arrietta ext rest) Artietta extended rest (or Q normal rest) G6 Q (+1) Lester (-1) Hendricks (-2) Lackey (+2) G7 Lester (normal) Hendricks (-1) Arietta(-2) Lackey (+3) So we'll catch up on rest by the time we roll around to any possible elimination game and have bullets to burn, but I think key will be how long our starters go. I think Lackey makes more sense in game 2 than game 1 because it will probably be a more active bullpen game and you get the rest day in between to recover. Still, dropping Martin or Lastella for Rondon makes sense.
-
I agree with that. Go get us more pass rushers. That was another area Pace way under planned for.

I think they can, assuming Trubisky is the franchise QB (also means WR is the only dire need) . I mean, drafting a WR #1 and signing one in the offseason isn't really "locking-in" so much as it is solidifying the position. The rest of the draft and FA can be used on depth up front on both sides of the ball. Assuming Sitton has another year in him and the rest of the line continues to perform as they have over the past two seasons. the potential emergence of another Carson Wentz minimizes any need this team has outside of WR. I'd argue there is a real need for a defensive playmaker. If they have a chance to draft one rated higher than any particular WR, but instead take a WR just because they really need one, that's a huge missed opportunity. Yea get someone who can maybe create a few turnovers and not have us bottom in the league in turnover differential.

Theo said he'll figure out game 1 starter on plane before the heavy drinking begins.
-
More so than that one last November? I actually thought we had a chance for that one. Legit didn't expect to win this one in the 9th.
-
Well we're probably gonna be pounded against LA, but, 3 straight NLCS!
-
Okay I guess split screen was pretty clear.
-
Not enough to overturn Edit- well I'll take it.
-
Alright alright
-
Well horsefeathers
-
Not if they don't put anyone on.
-
It's what got us to this point that was a bit questionable.
-
I had no idea Contreras was involved with a porn star, but is it Mia Khalifa? I"ve heard her on LeBatard and I think she's a DC area sports fan Yep thats her. Also "involved" isn't exactly the right word.
-
Bahahahahah
-
His backswing hitting Wieters. Let me try to post the image from my phone. I'm pretty sure there's umpire judgement involved in the rule. What exactly is the judgement regarding? Either way let's put up 20 more so there's no doubt.
-
At least 229.

YASSSSS
-
Addy Dong pls.
-
We aren't going down this easy. Our big inning is coming still
-
Counting on Meredith to be a legit 1 based on partial season production was already a risk, but then zero other decent receivers was insane. When you intentionally go with no depth you can't blame injuries for ruining a season. Oh for sure, it’s still ridiculous to me they didn’t franchise tag Alshon. Unless there’s some big time personality issues they had. Just awful roster construction/helping out a rookie. You mean a second franchise tag? I guess they could have, though FYI his market value ended up being 8m less than that. A long term deal would have been best, but it seems Alshon never got a long term deal he valued (from anyone).
