  1. Seal Boy with a walk off dong against the Giants today.
  2. It could be Wednesday the 30th also. They always leave the Monday blank for any make up games - which is when the Cards might have to make up a game or two against Detroit - and they won’t know about those until the last minute. Giving them Tuesday off also allows for makeup games Monday followed by a tiebreaker game on Tuesday if it involves the same team that plays Monday. They’ll probably wait a while and stagger the series. That way they could schedule series that aren’t likely to require tiebreaker games on Tuesday and ones that might on Wednesday. I swear I read that they aren’t doing tiebreaker games in order to have a more set schedule/avoid having like 5 tiebreaker games. They’re going off H2H, win % in division, etc. to settle tiebreakers. But yeah the 30th could be the start for some extra makeup. Doubt it’s later than that. I hadn’t heard that either way so you might be right on the no tiebreaking games thing.
  3. Did Orlando Arcia change his name to Brad Miller for this series. horsefeathers that guy.
  4. When he moves back closer to the plate in 2021?
  5. That’s only Javy’s 4th GIDP this year but I swear it’s his 10th.
  6. Yeah I’d assume the 29th is the start (Everyone gets the 28th off to travel if needed). There’s no tiebreaker games this year either so that can’t delay it and since the first round is best of 3 and better record team gets home field for all 3 there shouldn’t be off days so 3-4 straight days of games potentially.

  7. I haven’t been paying super close attention, what has Ross done wrong? I assume he called for Rizzo to steal in the 7th which was dumb. What else was there?
  8. Good job Willy swinging at a 2-0 pitch out of the zone and good job Ross having slow ass Rizzo running.
  9. Annoying game. We should have won it in 9.
  10. Bad 0-2 pitch for a double and Willy didn’t block a fastball in the dirt which leads to the IF playing in and a grounder gets through that might have been an inning ending DP.
  11. Too bad Atalanta blew it late. Could have had them, Leipzig and Lyon in the semis a year after having Spurs and Ajax there. Been a good two year run for non traditional sides making waves. Even PSG, for all the money they’ve spent, this is their first UCL semifinal.
  12. barca is just old and slow . . . city-bayern would be a great semi . . . Bayern will destroy city's backline. So much for that. Sterling misses a goal he probably scores 98% of the time that would have made it 2-2 and a minute later Ederson can’t catch an easy save and Lyon puts in the rebound for 3-1.
  13. Happ is legitimately one of the best players in baseball right now. Kipnis, Willy, Bote, Schwarbs are all over 100 wRC+. Rizzo has a 136 wRC+, KB is at 97. Javy is the only one really sucking. But KB needs to be his usual self sooner than later. KB has a BABIP 100 points lower than his career average also. Not too worried right now.
  14. Before today, the starters had a 2.55 ERA while averaging 6 IP per start. Third best team has a 3.16 ERA and the 6th best team has a 3.55 ERA. Cubs are 6th overall in ERA.
