Didn’t think about this until I read it today, but with the ridiculousness of the 2030 World Cup being hosted in 3 continents, that means 2034 can only be hosted in North America or Asia. North America obviously has 2026 so they’re probably out. That leaves Asia. I’m sure it was a pure coincidence but mere hours after the 2030 announcement, Saudi Arabia announced their solo bid for the 2034 World Cup and FIFA proceeded to give the other Asian countries until the end of October to submit their bids.
-
I assume they’ll take away one or two of the qualification spots. So instead of 6 of 7, it will be 4 of 7. Just another example for why the 48 team Cup is stupid.
-
Are you just making things up at this point? Bogaerts played 146 games at SS this year. He hasn’t played 3B since 2014.
-
Not at all. You’re either comparing a corner OFer to a bunch of SS or you’re comparing a 25 year old to a 32 year old at 1B. Neither of which is relevant at all.
-
Those 30 year olds were shortstops not corner outfielders like Soto is. And if you want to include Judge, he was coming off a 62 HR, 10 WAR season which, and I don’t know if you’re aware, but Freeman hasn’t done either of. Your comparison is invalid.

My picks not looking good so far. I had TB, Tor, Phi, Mil Balt, Tor, Alt, LAD Balt, Atl Balt I will say, the playoffs are much more likeable this year with no Cards, Yankees and Mets. The AL in particular the only team I don't want to win is Houston and the other 5 either have never won the title or have gone at least 30 years since winning.

The Twins ... won a playoff game? \
-
Milwaukee absolutely with their SP I could see them making a run. Just last year the 87 win Phillies beat the 101 win Braves and the 89 win Padres beat the 111 win Dodgers.
-
I can think of one other poster who does.
-
The guy that blew the game for Pittsburgh had a 7.5 ERA in 24 innings coming into today. I think the Pirates bet on the Marlins making the playoffs.
-
3-0 Pirates and new pitcher comes in with none on and one out. Marlins go single, single, walk, double, single and it’s 3-3.
-
After that Giants sweep, we were 4 times more likely to win the Central (33.3%) as we were to miss the playoffs (7.6%). If you use the season-to-date stats on Fangraphs, it's over 8x as likely (42.6% for the division vs. 4.9% to miss the playoffs).
-
Seems pretty crazy that they didn't move the start time up an hour or two knowing some massive rain storm was coming. I know that's happened in the past, pretty sure with a Cubs game or two.
-
It will all be over in about 24 hours.
-
2019 was a bad collapse too. With 12 games left, the Cubs were 2 games back of the Cardinals in the division, 1/2 game back of Wash for the first WC and 1 game up on Mil for the second WC. They proceeded to lose 9 straight games, the first of which was by 2 runs and the next 5 all by 1 run. Four of those 1 run games were to the Cards.
-
A part of me is convinced that the Angels are nothing more than the West Coast Mets and that if you get Trout out of there, he’ll play 145 games each of the next four years.
-
Can’t wait to see how we painfully lose this game.
-
Acuna strikeout rate by year:
-
It's Sunday night. The Cubs have missed out on the playoffs. Tom: This isn't the time to hang our heads and give up guys. I know it seems bleak but just remember that we're tied for first place in the 2024 NL Central right now. Lot of baseball left to be played.

https://x.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/1707220118151872934 i can’t get the stupid tweet to load correctly.

Well that was unsurprising.
