    [tweet] [/tweet] They had 1st and goal from the 10 followed by 2nd and goal from the 8. From there: -offensive PI on an incomplete pass -holding -incomplete pass -false start -sacked for 5 yard loss while also committing a holding penalty, which was declined

    Bad decision at the end of that game by the QB. At the very least you need to make sure you get the FG attempt.

    The ending of UNC-App St was wild.
  5. soccer10k
    Iowa has now scored more points on safeties today than on offense.
  6. soccer10k
    Iowa leads South Dakota St 5-3 two minutes into the 4th quarter. The two teams have 257 total yards combined.

    A couple awful VAR decisions for “fouls” on GKers today in West Ham-Chelsea and Newcastle-Palace. Also absurd how van Dijk didn’t get sent off against Everton today.
  8. soccer10k
    Would be hilarious if they went on a run right after LaRussa leaves.
  9. soccer10k
    Jameis is still the QB and your head coach has a career 8-28 record. I’m not saying it’s impossible and that coaches never improve, but there’s a big drop off from Payton to Allen.

    I might be overreacting a bit on 4+ games but I really think 40 league goals in a season in the EPL isn’t that far fetched for Haaland. He’s just so talented, strong and fast, plus playing on City he’s going to get a ton of chances. And he’s going to rack up a ton of goals against crappy teams that City puts 4+ past. Obviously comes down to health but if come the end of the season he’s got 40 goals in, say, 33 games, I wouldn’t be shocked.
  11. soccer10k
    Yeah, it's insane that anyone is able to do this. If he was like a .750 OPS hitter and a 4 ERA starting pitcher, it would still be crazy. But he's 15th in the majors in OPS and, if he had 5 more innings, would be 15th in the majors in ERA also.

    He did the same thing with Kopech the other day too. Was allowed to start despite clearly not being healthy. His velocity was down. They let him face 4 batters and he gave up a hit, walked two and hit one before being removed. He’s now on the IL.

    I have a direct ferry to the Giants games, which is pretty sweet. the ferry is nice but it does take a while. Vallejo? Bart is ok on the way too but after the game is kind of a hassle as compared to having the station right there. When I used to take it, I'd usually grab a beer after the game somewhere to let Bart clear out a bit. Like you said, trying to get on right after the game would be awful.

    Steele, Rucker, and McKinstry are at the top of my list. I was totally going to say McKinstry and Rucker. Based on them saying 3-4, I'm wondering if one is a fringe roster player. Wick, Smyly, Steele and Rucker are my guesses.
  15. soccer10k
    Yeah, let's all show some sympathy for Victoria Pilzen. Worst GD in a group stage is -22 and most goals allowed in a group stage is 24. With that group, both of those are in play. I wouldn’t put it past Bauer putting up 10-12 by themselves.
  16. soccer10k
    Well I’m pretty happy with Spurs’s UCL draw getting Eintracht Frankfurt, Sporting and Marseille. I’m not going to say they should win their group but I’ll be a little disappointed if they don’t. Of course the last time I was really happy with their draw was 2016 and they finished 3rd in their group that year. Group C is the toughest group with Bayern, Barcelona and Inter.
  17. soccer10k
    and easier to get to/from That too, though I don’t mind taking Bart in to SF.
  18. soccer10k
    I like the fact that the Cubs will be in Oakland every other year rather than every 6th year. Much cheaper tickets there than in SF.

    The Braves are 26-28 against teams over .500. The Padres are 20-27, the Phillies are 29-34, the Jays are 34-43 and the Rays are 34-37. All of these teams are currently in the playoffs. Are none of them good either? Who said the Cardinals weren't good? I know It's a common tactic here to move the goalposts in the middle of arguments, but I'm keeping them in place. They are mildly good, the definition of mediocre. I mean, you literally just did say they aren’t good by calling them the definition of mediocre. You said it a few days ago too.

    10 games as of right now, but who's counting? I guess it all depends on what you think is a good team. The 2016 Cubs weren't playing teams with a .420 and below winning percentages (in their division). The Cardinals would be in 3rd place in the NL East, 2nd place in the NL West. The only division they would be leading other than the NL Central is the AL Central. They are the king of the dipshits, a wildcard team. The definition of mildly ok. The Braves are 26-28 against teams over .500. The Padres are 20-27, the Phillies are 29-34, the Jays are 34-43 and the Rays are 34-37. All of these teams are currently in the playoffs. Are none of them good either?

    Paul Goldschmidt age 34: -career high BA by 18 points -2nd highest OBP -career high SLG by 65 points -career high OPS by 51 points -on pace to hit over 40 HR for the first time in his career. We've also got a 40 year old Adam Wainwright with a 3.11 ERA in 150 innings. Pujols now up to a .858 OPS. The only shocking thing is that Molina has been hurt most of the year and awful when he has played. I assume he'll have like 4 big hits in the playoffs though.
  22. soccer10k
    Only 12.5 back of the third WC spot!
  23. soccer10k
    Pujols has an .814 OPS this year. The last time he had an OPS over .800 was in 2012.
  24. soccer10k
    Yep. Spurs did this with Poch too. They went from 69 points the year before he was hired to 64 points the first year with him. Gave him the full year. Bought Davies and Dier before his first season and then Dele mid season. After that first year they brought in Trippier, Alderweirrld and Son while shipping out a ton of dead weight that didn’t fit the system. Of course they didn’t give Nuno any time last year but he was like their 8th choice and they fired him to get the guy who was their first choice and who they should have hired in the first place.

    Tuchel lost his mind at the end of that. I get it. He’s upset his team lost the least and he’s really upset at how it happened with the bad calls. But to flip out over Conte not looking him in the eyes is ridiculous. I get why the ref red carded both coaches after the game but that was all on Tuchel. Chelsea should have won that game. After the first 10 minutes they thoroughly outplayed Spurs. Neither Spurs goal should have happened. I thought Chelsea played well. They had some good chances and easily could have scored more than they did.
