    Hasn’t been a no hitter this year. Would be the first season without one since 2005.
  2. soccer10k
    That's 9 straight games he's given up at least 1 HR and 20 HRs allowed in his last 12 starts.
  3. soccer10k
    This year is only the third season, along with 1998 and 2001, where 4 players have hit 50 HRs in a season. Suarez hit 49 tonight so we could have 5 guys.
  4. soccer10k
    And he just hit #60.

    I tuned in when it was 7-7, saw a bloop single and PCA airmail a throw trying to double the runner off first. Even if it did go out of play, it wouldn’t have mattered since the next batter homered. I’d seen enough at that point.

    Anytime you can take your shirt off celebrating a goal in the 3rd round of the Carabao Cup against the team in 19th place in the EFL Championship when you're already on a yellow card, you just have to do it. Hugo Ekitike is your sports idiot of the week. I mean, it's a stupid rule, but it's a rule and has been for a while now.

    Dodgers lost to the DBacks so they're only 1.5 up on SD in the division.
  9. soccer10k
    I guess the exception would be if SD manages to win the division and the Cubs play in LA. That’s a 100% lock to be the late game each day.
  10. soccer10k
    Except the Dodgers are going to be at home too. So if the Dodgers are 7 pm Pacific Time, I would think the Cubs in SD would be either 1 pm or 4 pm games.

    I’m not saying I’m going to actively avoid the Cubs playoff games, but if MLB schedules them at times where I have other activities that prevent me from watching, I won’t complain.
  12. soccer10k
    So Cade is dead? There’s no way the plan was to have him throw 29 pitches.
  13. soccer10k
    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.

    Please win at least 2 of 3 this series just for pure entertainment.

    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.

    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.

    The Rockies won their 42nd game today, ensuring a better record than the 2024 White Sox.

    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.
  19. soccer10k
    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?
  20. soccer10k
    Yep. Team record only determined HFA in the World Series. Otherwise it’s by which seed you are.
  21. soccer10k
    I see you’ve come to the dark side and given up on the division now. Lol.

    Remember when Boyd was good? That was fun.
  24. soccer10k
    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.

    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.
