  1. I think this is as good a time as any to tell you guys I kept my word. Haven’t turned the game back on. It’s a sacrifice I’m more than happy to make.
  2. Turned on the game to see the RBI single and the homer. I will now turn the game off. My bad, guys.
  3. Why not stick with the slider low and away there? He already took two of them.
  4. It's warm up Morrow too many times so he's unavailable the next day even though he only threw two pitches in an actual game for me.
  5. I think I heard that most of the 11 threes he’s taken this year have been end of the quarter half court heaves. He’s not even taking many end of the shot clock threes.
  6. And here we thought that inning against the Brewers was crazy.
  7. 7 runs on 3 hits, 5 walks and 2 HBP. Amazing.
  8. Looks like I tuned in at the perfect time.
  9. From the same thread: Three out of four isn't bad.
  10. It would be fun to go back and look at some posts from the Game Threads after the last couple games of the 5-15 stretch from 2016. I bet there are some gems in there.
  11. The Padres only got one hit tonight against the Giants and it was by a pitcher (Clayton Richard) who was a pinch hitter and didn't pitch in the game.
  12. Yep. And on the Gameday audio page there’s barely any information. No strikes/balls/outs, base runners or stats. Pretty lame.
  13. He went 6-7 with a double and a home run and raised his batting line to .258/.281/.419/.700. His OPS coming into today was .245.
  14. It's too bad that didn't happen to the White Sox. Hawk would have had a heart attack on air.
  15. It's not going to happen but it's possible that we get a 6 way tie for the 4 through 9 spots in the West. Right now there are 5 teams with 45 wins and the other has 46. Utah: loses @ LAL, vs. GS, @ Por NO: loses @ GS, @ LAC and wins vs SA SA: loses vs Por, wins vs Sac, loses @ NO OKC: loses @ Hou, loses @ Mia, wins vs Mem Min: wins vs Mem, loses vs Den Den: loses vs Port, wins @ Min There are a couple results you could swap with the two H2H games (SA-NO and Min-Den) but that makes the results less likely. But it's not like we would need these teams to lose games to any of the tanking teams. The biggest upset in the bunch is probably Utah losing at the Lakers. On a related note, the NBA should have an actual tiebreaker game if two or more teams are tied for the 8 seed. If both teams are making the playoffs, just use the tiebreakers. But if it's deciding who is in and who is out, just have a play-in game with the home team being determined by the tiebreaker. This isn't football where the players need a week to recover from a game. Season ends Wednesday, have the play-in game on Friday and the 1-8 series starts Sunday. End the season a day earlier if need be to give yourself time to play game or games.
  16. The problem I have is that Morrow almost certainly would have been warming up in the 10th again just in case the Cubs scored just like he was a week ago.
  17. At least Morrow will be available to warm up again tomorrow.
  18. Why wasn't he available this time? Because it wasn’t a save situation.
  19. Please score so Joe doesn’t have Morrow be unavailable tomorrow because he warmed up 6 times.
  20. If Willy just runs him all the way back to third and tags both players, he might have kept Thames at first.
  21. Got to account for the extra base somehow.
  22. Honestly I think he could get top 5 MVP votes and still not opt out. yeah i'm not sure there's a season he could possibly have even on trout or harper WAR levels lmao He'd have to have two solid seasons, right? One's not going to be enough. But if he put up back to back .290/.360/.490 type seasons he might opt out. But even then I think it would depend on how the free agent market goes next season. If there's another offseason of only the top handful of guys getting big deals, he might not feel like it's worth the risk.
  23. That was quite enjoyable. It was right as he was talking about how this is one of the best feelings he's had about a team in all his years announcing.
  24. It's too bad we don’t have sites that will calculate strikeout percentage for us and then allow us to sort so we know which team K’s at the the highest rate.
