  1. I shouldn’t be surprised considering Imanaga and Taillon were 1-2 in HR allowed at one point but I wasn’t aware we’d given up the most home runs in the league.
  2. The Japan-Sweden game could get boring in the 2nd half. Japan only wins the group if the better Netherlands result (up 2-0) and know they get 2nd as long as they don’t lose. Sweden also knows they advance with a draw and might not be willing to risk going for a win when a loss could bounce them.
  3. I'm not sure what the Giants starting pitcher has to do with either the Cubs or the Mets. LOL. Also, wish we had Logan Webb instead.
  4. South Africa beats South Korea to advance. Korea could still advance but it will come down to other results. I believe as of now they're only ahead of Scotland in the three groups that have finished.
  5. Mets. More like MEEEEEEts. Pretty difficult to have 6 errors in a game.
  6. Basically none of that is right except for the fact that they played the Rockies in one of the games. But then again, I'd expect nothing better from AI.
  7. Found it. In 2002. 3 HR and 9 RBI vs Col then had another HR and 5 RBI in Col the next day. 2 more the following day so that's 16 in 3 games.
  8. I’m sure this is a case of 13 just being a lot to have over 3 games, but I’m surprised peak Sammy didn’t do it.
  9. Just give me a winner in Bosnia-Qatar wo we don’t have to worry about getting Ecuador or Senegal in the R32.
  10. I have no doubt by the rule book it's the right call. But I'm not a fan of the "guy came off the bag for a split second therefore he out" call and this is that taken to another level because PCA is entitled to second base on the walk and probably didn't even know ball 4 had been called.
  11. Seemed like Ghana was pretty content to play for a draw considering it virtually guarantees they advance.
  12. Lol that might be the stupidest decision I’ve ever seen. What the fuck are the umps thinking?
  13. Could have gotten good money on a Messi, Mbappe and Haaland 2+ goals each parlay.
  14. Hilariously bad decision by the Uruguay goalie to come out after the ball on the Cape Verde second goal. Was a bad pass by the Uruguay defender and a nice finish by the CV player.
  15. Bullpen of Doom coming through for our opponent once again.
  16. We really need a winner in Bosnia-Qatar game. A tie likely eliminates both and the permutations have us most likely getting 3rd in E, which is likely to be Ecuador, or 3rd in I, which is likely to be Norway or Senegal. Not unwinnable by any means, but I'd much rather get Bosnia or Qatar.
  17. This is not the case. If Turkey wins today and beats us, they would have the tiebreaker over us (assuming a 2 team tie as opposed to a 3 way tie).
  18. I assumed it was always H2H as the first tiebreaker but that’s not correct. It should be H2H, even if it’s usually irrelevant because if two teams end up tied, it’s usually because they tied the H2H game.
  19. That performance by South Korea was pretty pathetic. It looked like they had no desire to even try to score until like the 85th minute.
  20. It’s not silly. Is disaster a bit harsh? Maybe. But at best the trade has been disappointing. I also said “so far”. If Cabrera turns it around then that obviously changes my opinion of it. No idea who else we could have traded for but I’m sure there are a few guys we could have acquired for a Caissie centered package who would have a ERA better than 5 right now.
