    Okay? He said the 2004 season was peak Rivera, which by any number of metrics it wasn’t. And when he says “peak Mariano Rivera” he mentions two stats in the same tweet. One of which Rivera posted a bottom 5 career WHIP and the other was a career high. Not a hard leap to make that peak and career high are used in a similar context. Like I said. Dumb tweet by a smart baseball fan. Tons of us have made dumb posts on here when it comes to the Cardinals so I’m not judging him.

    For a supposedly smart baseball guy, Mike Schur has some awful tweets when it comes to the Yankees. 1. Saves? Really? 2. Rivera’s career WHIP was 1.00 so 1.08 was actually below average for his career. It’s actually his fifth worst season for WHIP in his career. 3. To use some other metrics, his 2004 was middle of the pack for Rivera in ERA, ERA+ and FIP. I mean, I get it. He’s a Red Sox fan who hates the Yankees but some of the stuff he tweets is ridiculous. He was complaining about Matt Carpenter after about 25 PAs.

    Suck it, Boston.

    [tweet] [/tweet] I can't remember which game it was but didn't a Cardinal player attempt to do something similar against the Cubs in the series they just played? I seem to remember one of their player running through second on a force out and nearly trucking Madrigal.

    Tonight was his 133rd playoff game but it was the first one where he hasn’t made a single 3 pointer.

    I saw him in 2014 at Wrigley. He didn’t do much in the couple game we saw except for one at bat he just smoked a line drive that either short hopped the wall in LF or hit it on a fly. It was nuts how hard he hit that ball and how low it stayed to the ground yet still went as far as it did. I was glad I got to see him hit a ball that hard live one time.

    Well my day just got significantly better. Maddon’s IBB with the bases loaded is still worse, but it’s close.

    Been watching too much Cubs probably.

    The Cubs destroyed the league for 2 1/2 months in 2016, went 5-15 and people* were freaking out. *No judgement on anyone as, without going back and looking, it's entirely possible I was one of those people.

    Is it bad to give up 2 HRs on 3 pitches?
  12. soccer10k
    The Cubs almost did this last year. They were 9 over .500 right before losing 11 straight. They were 11 over .500 a few games earlier but I don’t know if he means 10 over immediately before losing 12 straight.

    Because black and latino players aren’t also virulently homophobic? It was the coordinated statement with one player speaking for the group that made me think they were all white. Obviously white people aren’t the only homophobes out there.

    This is going to shock everyone, but all 5 players were white.

    Thanks, Gorman!
  17. soccer10k
    If we don’t score in the 9th it’s ok… Cardinals have Goldschmidt, Arenado, and Gorman due up in the 10th. So you’re recommending turning the game off now then. Not the worst idea.

    9-1-2 coming up in the bottom half.
  19. soccer10k
    It’s fine. Molina’s never gotten a big hit against us.
  20. soccer10k
    He’s close to 31 years old, cutting down his K%, 10-15% doesn’t seem like anything remotely possible Not to mention that in a hypothetical world where he did do that, he’s an 3-4 hitter and an All Star.
  21. soccer10k
    Wisdom probably shouldn’t have thrown that ball either so he gets a bit of blame.
  22. soccer10k
    I get that a 5 run comeback in 1 inning is very unlikely but Roberts just wanting to completely punt on the chance of that happening is hilarious. Plus, they have an off day on Monday! You can't survive another day? And it's not like their pen is depleted either. They used 5 total relievers on Thu and Fri. I know Buehler only went 2 1/3 so that kind of puts you in a bind in this specific game but that happens all the time in baseball and in a lot of those instances, the game doesn't end with a position player pitching.

    Well he apparently majored in sociology at Oregon State so he could always do that instead.

    Don’t like our chances now with 6-7-8 in the bottom half. And that’s assuming it stays at 2.
