    I really, really don't like that they can review block/charges for whether or not the guy is moving now. Whether or not he's in the restricted area is fine. That's black or white and a quick review. But whether he's set is a judgement. You can't review that but not other foul calls.

    Welp, no point in watching this one. Duke jinxed it so the Cubs will lose.

    Milwaukee 15-5 and we are 5-10. Definitely needs some regression but their bullpen is solid. So is ours. Brewers pen ERA is tops in the majors at 2.44, Cubs is 2.71, which is third.

    I know I'm preaching to the choir in this thread but playoff hockey is horsefeathering awesome. Games 1 and 2 of the finals have been amazing. All that Vegas guy needed to do with 2ish minutes left was lift the puck and the game is tied. Great save by Holtby.

    Should have stuck with the crappy game threads. No need to change what’s working.

    Yeah, I thought they’d hit and have a decent enough bullpen. But the defense, base running and rotation were lacking. I have little doubt they think Wainwright is gonna be a key bullpen addition when he comes back at this point. Which I’d gladly welcome. Also it’s annoying the Brewers won again but at least this series dropped the Cardinals even more. 2 of 3 for the Brewers was ideal for me. Drops the Cards down a bit but the Brewers don’t sweep.

    Not a picture but I hope video is ok.

    Mike Trout is on pace for 14.7 bWAR (Ruth’s 14.1 is the only position player season of more than 13) and 13.2 fWAR (only Ruth got to more than 13).

    Man, the Caps missed an open net with about 40 seconds left.

    How do the officials miss a clear cross check when the puck is a foot or two away? Aren't they supposed to be looking at where the puck is? Huge missed call also. Instead of the Caps being up 4-3 with a power play, it's 4-4.

    Not very often you see both managers out arguing on one play. And why is Hurdle so mad now? He didn’t seem to say anything before they reviewed it and he didn’t ask for a review. So he didn’t appear to care at all until they reviewed the play and upheld it.
  12. soccer10k
    Yeah, I feel like if that happened to Contreras, we’d be furious.

    I feel like Boston would have made the finals a tighter matchup just because Stevens would have found a way to steal a game or two. I could see Lebron beating Houston. That's definitely true. I guess I'm just assuming the Warriors win Game 7.

    My god it’s so nice that ESPN actually has something else to show during our games than 2003 BS. They can show 2016 as much as they want to.

    I bet the Giants have two postgame spreads. One for Sandoval and this guy and one for the rest of the team.

    BOOM BOOM BAEZ.

    Cubs get at least two this inning.

    Wait, we're playing a day game tomorrow? horsefeathers off MLB. Couldn't even give us an evening start?
  20. soccer10k
    Hey ARod, you are aware this dude just threw 12 of 13 balls, right? There's not a chance in hell Schwarber should have swung at the first pitch.
  21. soccer10k
    I think if a pitcher walks the opposing pitcher twice in a game, the team should have the option of voiding his contract.

    If Chatwood faced Javy, would the universe explode?
  23. soccer10k
    Looks like he might have hyperextended his knee.

    saying anything other than "the cubs will obviously win 90+ games and the brewers are 100% trash" is seen as freaking out. the "it's only _____" thing just becomes annoying at a certain point, because it has a way of always being pushed back. plus, injuries happen, and we might be seeing with darvish. they need to be winning games and not assuming they'll come later, because it not happening would be far from the weirdest thing to happen in baseball this year. No you’re right keep being overly worried about a team playing at an 88 win pace for the season while statistically looking like a 95+ win team. Yeah the Darvish injury is concerning but let’s not act like you just starting being concerned today. All I’m saying is like maybe enjoy baseball for a little while. And regarding Darvish, if we're just looking at this year and ignoring the long term issues with him maybe having another Tommy John, we've been an 88 win team and he's been crap. So based just on what he's done this year so far, it's not like we're losing much from that 88 win team. I get that we all expected more from and and if healthy, he'd probably be much better than the 4.95 ERA he's put up so far. It's not like we're an 88 win team and we just lost Jake at his 2015 apex. So if Darvish is out for the year and Monty comes in and puts up a 4 ERA, that's an upgrade on what Darvish has been in 2018.

    D’Antoni leaving his starters in down 20 with 6 minutes left is incredibly stupid.
