  1. Thought the RFer was going to lose that one in the sun.
  2. Less time for the infielders to react and keep the ball on the infield though too.
  3. Isn’t that one of the rare situations where it’s at least semi-justifiable stats wise to bunt? You only need one run to win the game so there is benefit to getting the guy to third.
  4. Mervis takes two fastballs right down the middle. Not great.
  5. Well the Reds won so it’s only 2-18.
  6. Sports obsessed kid here. While I rooted for the Cubs before 98, what fully hooked me was the HR chase in 98 plus the Cubs being good for the first time I could actually remember (I was 13 that year). I liked the Cubs due to WGN and them playing day games so I could watch baseball during the day in the summer. When school started in the fall that year, if the Cubs were at home I'd come home and tune into the game and anxiously await any mention of whether or not Sosa had homered that day.
  7. Two hits! Can’t wait to see who hits into the DP.
  8. Why send Hosmer up there if you’re just going to have him bunt? Just PH with someone who can actually bunt. Especially when you just PR right after.
  9. Solid 7th inning for the Sox today.
  10. That was not an ideal bottom of the 9th.
  11. Bruins-Panthers going to a Game 7.
  12. With the caveat that they could easily do it shortly after the season ends, part of the reason they have that ability is the NFL season is shorter than the other ones. Regular season and playoffs only run from Sept to Feb. compare that to Oct to June for the NBA and the NHL. If those sports held the draft 2 1/2 month after the season ended they’d be in training camp.
  13. Juan Soto's .689 OPS certainly isn't helping.
  14. And yet still by far the best return in the three Butler trades.
  15. They’re more than welcome to stay in first as long as the Cardinals remain where they are as well.
  16. Is Bud dead and nobody knows? Does he know that timeouts are a thing? Just awful at the end of regulation and OT.
  17. They tried to throw the ball away twice in the last 10 seconds too. Once was on the play where they tried to call Lowry for a foul and then overturned it and then Giannis was so desperate to not get fouled after they won the tip that he tried to throw it out of bounds.
  18. Bucks are trying to blow another game.
  19. It has to. The past few years of going full bore with City. They ran them tight in 18-19, won it in 19-20, took a step back the next year, then took City to the wire in 21-22. Then you throw in three UCL finals in the past six years and knockout round trips the other three. Then last year they played as many games as possible (unless they finished 3rd in their UCL group and had to play an extra round in the Europa). 2nd by a point in the league. Won the FA and League Cups and made the final of the UCL.
