  1. How long until we stop making excuses for pitchers and say it’s the ball when they give up homers that barely get out? It’s the same for every team every day and it’s been like this for a couple years now. It’s just the ball at this point. It’s not like the wind which varies day by day. Not complaining about you specifically but just a general statement about the ball in general.
  2. We should take until this guy throws a strike every time. He goes 2-0 on every other hitter.
  3. Guys, let’s focus on what really matters from this game. Spurs will be in Pot 2 in the draw next year!
  4. They’re also 18-19 when they’re not playing the three worst teams in the NL and the Royals. I mean, those wins still count but they’re not going to keep that up against crappy teams either.
  5. AJ Ramos trying to give the game to Milwaukee. Thrown 8 pitches and only one has been a strike. EDIT: Make that nine pitches and only one strike. Most weren’t even close either.
  6. Jose Bautista sort of paid us back for the homer against us. Singled with 2 outs in the top of the ninth to tie that game against Milwaukee.
  7. Doesn’t bode well for Game 7 if they’re already ruling Paul out for Game 6.
  8. Yeah, I would guess they’re trying to get as much money on the Caps as possible to balance it out since the odds of Vegas winning were so high at the beginning of the year (over 100-1). but it's not like there was a ton of money bet on them. How much they would have to pay out matters just as much if not more.
  9. Vegas/books probably know they are going to take a lot of money on them so they adjusted it more for that than who they think is gonna win. I read the other day if Vegas wins, with the futures bet on them, sportbooks will take a loss on the year overall for NHL betting since so many people put money on them for the hell of it at the beginning of the year. They have a multi-million dollar exposure to them winning. Yeah, I would guess they’re trying to get as much money on the Caps as possible to balance it out since the odds of Vegas winning were so high at the beginning of the year (over 100-1).
  10. He was right. Suspended 80 games today. And I’ll go with Tainted Beef.
  11. And KB has one more World Series title than Gleyber has.
  12. I’d really like to see them come out Week 1 and do a mass kneel like they did the one week last year after Trump ranted about them. I mean, I hope they do it every week but even doing it once right off the bat would be a big Eff You to the league.
  13. I might be out on the NFL next year.
  14. Game 7 should be fun on Wednesday.
  15. He got a bad reputation because of a couple bad plays against the Mets in the 2015 playoffs. Watching him day to day it was clear he could at least be passable in the outfield. At least he didn't look like he would kill himself anytime he came within 20 feet of the wall like Soler did.
  16. Blasting the Marlins twice, the White Sox once and the Reds three times in the span of two weeks will certainly help projections.
  17. These playoffs have sucked. Seems like a ton of blowouts and even the close games are kinda just overall horsefeathers basketball down to the final plays. Don't remember about how many blowouts but last year's playoffs were terrible also.
  18. The DBacks have the 8th best record in the NL and are winning the division.
  19. Coomer just said Baez’s “baseball acronym is off the charts.” I went back and listened again to make sure I heard him right.
  20. The new guy who does PBP for Pat might actually be worse than Coomer. I had no idea what happened on the Heyward play other than 3 runs scored until I brought up the video.
  21. Good of Justin Wilson to make sure we don’t play too long in Game 1.
