  1. Well see if we left Gomes in, we don't bunt. And because PCA is a rookie and not to be trusted to swing the bat, he'll make an out that doesn't advance the runner. Then we won't get the bonus points a team gets for advancing a runner to second.
  2. Huge double steal. Better get the lead now.
  3. An underrated aspect of LOL Mets is you only have to adjust one letter and you get LOL Jets. And it’s just as applicable there too. Bears and Jets are just QB hell. There’s another universe where Wilson and Fields get picked by any other teams and they’re league average QBs right now.
  4. Irrelevant because we’ll actually be up 10 instead of 1.
  5. That’s been the trend for a few years now. More extremes on both ends. There were 4 100 loss teams in each of the last 3 full seasons. There were also 3 in 2018. Of those 15 teams, 7 lost 105+. There was only 1 100 loss team total from 2014-17. Prior to 2019, there had been only 1 season with 4 100 loss teams (2002). Prior to 2017, we’d had 3+100 win teams in a season 5 times, and never with 4. Last year was the fifth straight full season with 3+ 100 win teams including 4 in 2019 and 2022. Last year nearly had 5 as the Yankees won 99. Arbitrary numbers but the 2016 Cubs were only the 2nd 103+ win team since the 04 Cards (the 09 Yankees also win 103). There have been 10 103+ win teams in the last 5 full seasons.
  6. Baseball is baseball but outside of the two Atlanta series, they play bad teams (Mets twice, Cards and Pirates).
  7. Burrow 14-31 for 82 yards.
  8. At least Ross finally moved Seiya up in the lineup.
  9. I had that one too. Also had USC-Stanford over 69.5. IT was 49-3 at halftime and then neither team scored until there was 3:35 left in the 4th. Two TDs in 3 minutes and they end at 66.
  10. Their QB is not great throwing the ball. Both of his picks were pretty bad.
  11. Marlins lose. Reds down 4-3 going to the bottom of the 9th.
  12. Win tomorrow and beat up on the Rockies and we’re still in good shape.
  13. Or maybe batting Bellinger higher than 4th and Suzuki, who is on a tear, higher than 6th.
  14. They like to hit it on the ground a lot also.
  15. That Brewers series will likely go one of two ways. If it matters to the Brewers, it likely means both teams played at least fairly well and then both are probably in the playoffs. If it doesn’t matter to the Brewers then it means that they probably wouldn’t pitch any of their good starters much at all since the WC round starts on a Tuesday and the season ends on Sunday. So whoever they want to pitch Tuesday won’t pitch in the series and whoever they want to pitch Wednesday likely won’t either. Their good relievers won’t pitch much either. There is a small chance both the Cubs and the Brewers struggle and neither has a playoff spot or the division clinched.
  16. Even if you bump that a bit to 86, that means 10-10. Get 2 of the remaining 5 against Arizona, 6 of 9 against Col and Pit and then 2 of 6 against Atl and Mil to end the year.
  17. I wouldn’t say for sure he’s gone but there would definitely be a decent chance they’d can him.
  18. Maybe. But I feel like this is a bit of hindsight. If Ross leaves Taillon in and he gives up a couple runs it’s “why let the guy with a 5.5 ERA go the third time through the order”.
  19. It’s because you have a 99-1 negative to positive post ratio.
