  1. I'm rooting for SD because I think the Cubs can win enough games to still get the WC spot but I think it's more valuable for the Padres and Dodgers to go down to the wire.
  2. Please win at least 2 of 3 this series just for pure entertainment.
  3. The Eagles led 7-0 after one possession for each team. The Rams then scored on their next 6 possessions without the Eagles scoring at all. The Eagles still won the game. Partly because 4 of those 6 scores were FGs but also because the Rams had a FG blocked to end the game. Pretty legendary bad beat too. Up 27-6, down 1 with 3 seconds left and attempting a FG while catching 3.5 and they have the FG blocked and returned for a TD.
  4. Because it's his job and I guarantee you if I had went to my work and asked for time off because some podcaster that I met once and took a picture with died, they'd (rightly) tell me to fuck off and do my job.
  5. The Rockies won their 42nd game today, ensuring a better record than the 2024 White Sox.
  6. I know not every (or even most) calf injury turns into an Achillies, but if he's worried about that, it might not be worth the risk to him.
  7. Wasn’t it 2017 that we clinched the division in St Louis, put out a forfeit lineup against them the next day and beat them anyway to knock them out of the playoffs?
  8. Yep. Team record only determined HFA in the World Series. Otherwise it’s by which seed you are.
  9. I see you’ve come to the dark side and given up on the division now. Lol.
  10. Remember when Boyd was good? That was fun.
  11. Doom bonering here, but there’s a non-zero chance he’s already played his last game for the Cubs. I mean, probably not. If he can hit and jog, they could just do what they did with Schwarber in the 2016 WS. So I would think he’d at least PH in a playoff game. But depending on where in the calf the injury is, I’m not sure it’s worth it for him to risk an Achilles injury and I wouldn’t blame him if he doesn’t take that risk.
  12. Jake also pitched nearly 2 more innings per start in that span. He went 77 1/3 in those 11 starts. Cade is only at 58 1/3 in his 11 starts. Also, after those 11 starts, Jake started four more games in the regular season, where he pitched 30 innings, gave up 12 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, and had 32 K for a 0.30 ERA and 1.30 FIP. Like you said, not trying to take away from Cade's stellar run, but Jake was on another level for those 2 1/2 months.
  13. Which is the ideal situation. Before I heard about the 3 way tiebreaker thing, I was hoping the Giants would win since I thought that would mean we wouldn't clinch because another team lost.
  14. Arizona can tie us on record but we have the tiebreaker due to H2H. SF has the tiebreaker over us.
  15. Eugenio Suarez hitting .170 with a .633 OPS with Seattle.
  16. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I believe the Cubs clinch a playoff spot today if they win, Arizona beats SF and St Louis beats Cincy. A Cubs win would mean at worst they would go 87-75. Ari, SF and Cincy all have 75 losses but we have the tiebreaker over Ari. SF has the tiebreaker and Cincy would if we ended up tied since that would mean they sweep our upcoming series.
  17. TIL Nico has been worth 6 bWAR this year, which is wild to me. And he was at 5.5 bWAR in 2023. Last 4 years he's been at least 3.7 bWAR and at least 3.9 fWAR. I guess I didn't realize how much defensive value he provides. I knew he was a good defender but when you combine that with him being an above average hitter and playing either SS or 2B, it adds up. But like if you just gave a bunch of random baseball fans the Cubs roster and asked them to guess which player was leading the Cubs in bWAR (he's third in fWAR), I'm guessing nobody would pick Nico first and most fans would probably list 4-6 guys before naming Nico.
  18. If someone wants to keep them out of the top-25, that’s fine too. I’m not arguing they should or shouldn’t be in the top-25. I was just comparing them to USC, who beat a team in their first year at the FBS, a Sun Belt team and a Big 10 team that went 1-11 last year.
  19. Looks weird but I’m fine with it. ND lost by a combined 4 points to 2 (currently) top 10 teams. USC hasn’t played anyone yet. We’ll get a datapoint this weekend since USC just played Purdue and Notre Dame plays them this weekend. And then they play each other in a month anyway.
  20. I'm sure some of these games will be entertaining but seems like a pretty boring slate.
  21. That was an arm punt if I've ever seen one.
  22. Both ND-A&M and Georgia-Tenn were fun watches today.
  23. Why did Busch not just stay on first there? If the ball wasn’t caught, the runner’s on second so you can’t go anywhere. If the ball got caught, then the runner gets doubled off. You gain nothing by running to second.
