Braves about to do their best Cubs impression. Bases loaded no out and they’ve struck out twice.
-
Justin Turner’s got some hair issues.
-
didn't see that replay but they defined the upper part of the arm differently in the new rule. How Pickford wasn't sent off is beyond me. Rumor is van Dijk tore his ACL also.
-
Ok, someone needs to explain to me why Mane was offside today. I thought that the arm didn’t count as being offside because you can’t score a goal with your arm. But the review clearly lined up with Mane’s arm. Did that part of the rule get changed?

Fun fact (though maybe not for Cardinals fans): Ozuna OPS by year 2017: .924 2018: .758 2019: .800 2020: 1.067

Braves sure know how to blow up the 1st inning of a playoff game.
-
Dodgers blowing up in the 9th. Braves up 5-1 now.

I didn’t watch but why not go for the FG anyway at the end? At least then worst case scenario is you go to OT if Seattle gets a TD and the 2 point. That’s not to say they shouldn’t have gone for 2 earlier though. I get you want to kill the game if you have the chance but the ability to not just lose in regulation seems valuable. It is valuable, but so is 1) the chance to end the game right there, which is a pretty good one and 2) the field position difference witch is especially significant with that amount of time left. It's a wash math wise, it's pretty much personal preference. I figured it was probably pretty close on which choice is more likely to result in your team winning the game. My personal preference is definitely to just take the 3, especially because of the 2-point conversion. If they were up 4, I’d probably want them to go for it.

And he didn’t even last the night. GM got canned also.

Things are not trending in the right direction. They should just forfeit games for the offending teams at this point. Maybe that will wake them up. If only they had done the smart thing and built in a bye week or two during the season, say one after week 8 or 9 and one after the season. But then they’d risk not having football for a weekend which they can’t have.

This game has been great.
-
So remember when Chapman threw at the head of the Rays player a couple weeks ago? Well that guy, Mike Brosseau, hit a series winning homer off Chapman in the 8th inning. Poetic justice at its finest.
-
My interest in the playoffs continues to wane with each Astros, Yankees and Dodgers win.
-
I feel like this is a good time to point out that Dusty has a sterling postseason record when his team has a chance to close out a series.
-
The Braves have sent 1 batter to the plate against the Marlins and have already scored as many runs as the Cubs did in 2 games.
-
I really like the way Kane is playing - I thought he was over-rated in previous seasons (which isn't to say not good) but he looks very influential these days. He’s always been a decent passer for a striker and does seem to be dropping a bit deeper this year from what I’ve seen.
-
So anyone else bet Aston Villa over 6.5 goals today? Nobody? Just me?
-
The only problem is there’s a decent chance he wont top anything Poch did, even if he does maximize the squad. He’s not winning the EPL and he’s not topping the 86 points they got in 16-17. He’s also not going to win the UCL with them either. A Europa League or FA Cup is certainly possible. And considering they haven’t won a trophy since 08 or the FA Cup since 91, that would probably satisfy a lot of Spurs fans, since that was the main criticism of Poch. I will say that if they continue to play they way they have the last 2 1/2 league games (the first half against Southampton was bad), I’ll quickly come around on Mourinho. They pounded Newcastle but just couldn’t score. They pounded ManU today before the red card and easily could have been 3-1 or 4-1 up when Martial was sent off. The first 3 goals were all bad ManU defending but it was one way traffic out there.

Central divisions went 2-14 in the playoffs and 0-7 in the series.

Hey David, he just threw the same pitch for strike 2. Maybe swing at the next one? -

Ump screwed Javy that AB. Should have been 2-0 and then maybe Javy doesn’t swing at the third pitch. Probably wouldn’t have mattered anyway with how he’s hitting. -

At least it’s better than the Reds?
