    There can't be that many instances is baseball history where a team hit 3 more home runs than their opponent and lost by 6+ runs. I mean, it's baseball so I assume it's happened like 27 times but it's got to be rare.

    This is absolutely not true. There were plenty of us who didn't like the decision to start Boyd on short rest when they announced it. Are there some people who are overreacting in hindsight? Sure. But it's absolutely not "almost entirely tied to hindsight".

    Down goes Penn St. EDIT: 3 timeouts left so maybe not quite yet.

    There's a pretty good history of pitchers in the playoffs doing poorly on 3 days rest. And generally, those pitchers have typically been good. Most teams who do it are doing it because the guy is an ace. So not only are we starting a guy on 3 days rest, but it's a guy who gave up 2+ runs in his final 9 regular season starts (before 1 in 4 1/3 vs SD). Mid-upper 4's ERA the last two months or since the ASB. A lot of us on here didn't like the decision and it certainly backfired. Would we have won the game starting Assad or Rea? Not necessarily. But I would much rather have started Rea and tried to piece together a bullpen game with tomorrow off. It was a bad decision given all the data we have on pitchers starting on 3 days rest and Boyd's last 2 months. I'm not sure I would have wanted 2015 Jake Arrieta starting on 3 days rest either, let alone 2025 Matthew Boyd.

    This is one heck of a letdown game for Penn St. Also, does Arch Manning suck?
  6. soccer10k
    More runs allowed in one inning today than 3 games against SD. Do you think Manfred would be mad if we threw position players for the last 6 innings to save the pen?

    Good thing we started Boyd on short rest!

    What’s the upside of Boyd going in Game 1? If we had two stud SP and having Boyd go in G1 means he can go on normal rest in G4, which allows our second guy to go G2 and G5 both on normal rest, then it makes sense. But Taillon can’t go until G3 anyway unless he also goes on short rest in G2. I don’t really need Shota getting two starts in the series either. Short rest starts generally go poorly, though I’m sure most of those guys threw 90+ pitches in their first start before short rest. I guess he’s planning on going Boyd-Shota-Taillon-Boyd-Shota and using the pen liberally in G1 and G2 since there are off days after each game.

    NFL Week 5

    Definitely seems like a case of good idea to go for it but bad play call.
  10. soccer10k
    Yeah, whoever starts game 1, assuming it's not Boyd, will not start another game this series.
  11. soccer10k
    This was my fault. Threw on my Rizzo jersey for both games. Today, no jersey and the Cubs scored first.
  12. soccer10k
    Same here. I watched every out and was definitely happy when they won Game 1. But today I was all in.
  13. soccer10k
    I think I'd rather just have them start Rea or Assad, have a short leash and use the pen since we have the day off on Sunday. Then let Boyd start on normal rest in Game 2.
  14. soccer10k
    I assume that since they like having all the WC games on the same 3 days, they want to give the two bye teams a bit of an advantage. Otherwise a team could throw their ace on normal rest in Game 1. Now you’d have to throw him on short rest.
  15. soccer10k
    Don’t let horsefeathers Fermin get another hit.
  16. soccer10k
    I’m not having as much fun as I was 20 minutes ago.
  17. soccer10k
    They still have Rogers. But no longer 3 lefties, as you said.
  18. soccer10k
    Let’s fucking go!
  19. soccer10k
    Yeah he’ll for sure go through Machado and after that we’ll see.
  20. soccer10k
    If we could stop giving up hits to their 9 hitter, that would be great.
  21. soccer10k
    Let’s get a 4th run please. Would prefer it to be some other score besides 3-0 in a playoff game at Wrigley in the 8th. No reason, just personal preference.
  22. soccer10k
    BUSCH!!
  23. soccer10k
    That hurts. Glad we got 2 but really could have used a sac fly there.
  24. soccer10k
    Yeah, I think I’d be okay with a 6-4-3 DP.
  25. soccer10k
    Nice! Now keep it going.
