  1. For sure. Unless you’re generating good chances (which Spurs aren’t), it’s not going to get you very far.
  2. This is not a mistake. Missouri actually ran a play on 2nd and 59 on Saturday.
  3. White Sox won back to back games for the first time since the end of June.
  4. Ange better figure some shit out quickly or else he'll be out of a job soon. After picking up 26 points out of 30 to start last year, Spurs have only 44 points in 32 games since. They really good at moving the ball around and maintaining possession but really struggle to generate good chances. They basically did nothing the last two games against Newcastle and Arsenal. They didn't have a single good chance today and their best two chances against Newcastle were the own goal and a near own goal. If you're supposed to be an offensive minded coach, your team should probably be better offensively.
  5. Seeing a QB named Manning run for a 67 yard TD...
  6. That was bad from Busch too. He needs to just stay at third. Obviously PCA was more at fault though.
  7. He was worth 10 bWAR/9fWAR last year despite not playing in Sept. He's at 7.2/6.8 this year. Torn UCL didn't bother him hitting at all this year so yeah, it's worth it. I suppose you could argue if he gave up pitching, he could then play in the field somewhere which would likely give his WAR a boost since he'd probably turn into a gold glover in the field too.
  8. 33-114. So they’d have to go 10-5 to avoid 120 losses, 9-6 to avoid 121 losses and 7-8 to avoid winning less than 40 games. The only positive is they play the A’s 3 times and Angels 6 times. EDIT: After the game on July 5, they were 26-64 which means they’re 7-50 since then.
  9. Would have been nice if they had actually scored some runs against the Yankees. Only allowing 6 runs but losing the series was annoying.
  10. Only 7 teams in the Modern Era have lost more games in a season than the WS have.
  11. In Tyreek Hill vs. the police, there are no good guys.
  12. If they lose the next two games it will be their third 14+ game losing streak of the year. Their longest streak before this year was 13.
  13. That was a May or June type of Cubs loss.
  14. Well that escalated quickly. Stupid rally too with a blooper and an infield single before it.
  15. 3 more SB for Ohtani and the game isn’t over yet. 44-46 now on the year. Inching closer to 50-50.
  16. White Sox have to go 12-13 to avoid 120 losses.
  17. This could be a wild couple days depending on how these night matches go. Alcaraz yesterday, Djokovic today. Sabalenka drops the first set as does Zverev (he's up 5-4 on serve in the second).
  18. Ohtani is the first player to go 43 and 43 in a season.
  19. Deion tried to F up the end of the Colorado game. After a penalty, Colorado had 1st and 10 with 1:41 left and NDSt had 1 timeout. Could have just had his kid run around for a few seconds, burn off 5-6 seconds each play and kill the game. Instead, they throw the ball deep on 1st down for an incomplete pass, which allowed NDSt to get the ball back with 30 seconds left. They got to around midfield and had a Hail Mary come up 5 yards short.
  20. 31-104. Their next 12 games are against the Mets, Orioles, Red Sox and Guardians.
  21. I'm a bit surprised that there wasn't a Rockies home series in the late 90's where each team scored double digits in every game.
  22. Ohtani with a HR and 2 SB tonight so he's at 42-42 for the year. ARod in 98 is the only guy with at least 42 in both categories in a season. Somebody can fact check me, but a quick Google search tells me only two players (Barry Bonds and Brady Anderson) have ever had 50 SB in a season and 50 HR in a season (obviously not the same season).
