    Would be nice if Love could wind up with a 50 % completion percentage by the end of the night, tough...ish
  2. Fear The Chorizo
    While true, I'm putting zero emphasis on tonight's game (good or bad) on what this team and what Love will be at the end if the season. September NFL regular season football is a horrible product with the changes to training camps and having 17 regular season games. This is like what the NFL hall of fame preseason games used to be like 15 years ago...and it's being played thousands of miles away from either of these teams' home stadiums on a garbage field.
  3. Fear The Chorizo
    That declined extra point to run Jacobs I to a wall early this game while going for two instead would look pretty nice tacked onto that score right now...
  4. Fear The Chorizo
    Holy moly the laundry in this game...even uglier that it's all justified flags, too
  5. Fear The Chorizo
    That happens to alot of DBs...don't really love whatever this scheme/gameplan is against the skill position weapons the Eagles have. Looking like a track meet game now
  6. Fear The Chorizo
    Yes, they shouldn't even be playing on this field. NFL should be ashamed of itself
  7. Fear The Chorizo
    Nfl game on a middle school quality field
  8. Fear The Chorizo
    No real preseason and 1st game traveling to a different hemisphere...yeah this is borderline unwatchable
  9. Fear The Chorizo
    Woodruff, Ashby, Freddy, Rea, Hall.... Miz....Montas maybe? Tobias....Gasser 2nd half??? 2025 looking pretty exciting on the rotation side of things if you ask me.
  10. Fear The Chorizo
    It would be so Pirates for them to continue running out Skenes for a few more starts and have his UCL blow out. I would hope they have a set innings limit they won't let him cross since they're out of playoff contention, with the idea of having him as their Opening Day starter next season. It's not worth the risk of him getting injured pitching meaningless late September innings for a team not headed to the playoffs that could take a big step forward this offseason centered around their starting rotation with a healthy Skenes headlining it.
  11. Fear The Chorizo
    It looked that much better just with the Brewers because he got one of his typical extended in-season offensive slumps out of the way in a different uniform. The seeing the ball differently in a home ballpark not named the Trop helped initially, too.
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    I think so....and it is RO the YEAR, not necessarily who is playing the best at the end of the season. Making the counting stats probably more meaningful over the course of the full 162. Merrill is definitely the favorite for the award in the NL based on the full body of work - but the fact Chourio is even in the conversation at this point speaks to how unbelievable he's been for the past 3 months of a season that some were openly questioning into June when he should get optioned down to AAA to restore his confidence at the plate.
  13. Fear The Chorizo
    Yes, Merrill had a crazy good August himself - and both are raking into September....Merrill has had ok months early (just under 0.700 OPS), then an awesome June, dip back towards a 0.700 OPS in July, and an awesome August (0.969 OPS). Chourio's season-long OPS was sub 0.600 at the end of May, since then he's been OPS-ing ~0.900, ~0.875, ~0.925, and now ~1.4 from June into September. The fact Chourio is within 0.1 WAR of Merrill despite his April/May early season scuffles and roughly 2.5-weeks fewer ABs is crazy, because Merrill really hasn't had an extended slump period in his rookie season. Merrill also has roughly 50 more ABs to add to his counting stats since Chourio's early season issues led to him being a part time player for a couple months in May/June while he was turning things around. Chourio is getting intentionally walked in plenty of late-game situations now....in order for pitchers to face veteran middle of the order hitters instead. Even though it won't apply to him next year anymore, there should be a MLB rule change that if you aren't yet of legal drinking age stateside, you can't be intentionally walked.

    Honestly, a 49er just got shot in San Francisco in a robbing attempt and there are plenty of US metropolitan areas where teams routinely get bussed from the airport to team hotel, then stadium and right back to the airport. Probably more risk/concern on the NFL's side of things due to being outside of the country in terms of not wanting players or family/friends abducted internationally.
  15. Fear The Chorizo
    I also think it's kind of silly to write off this game as an L when it's still a 1 run game
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    or you don't bunt in that case, potentially hit into a double play, and the inning probably ends two batters earlier in that sequence with a guy still stranded at 3rd. Turang doesn't ground to the pitcher in that spot and the Brewers probably win the game.
  17. Fear The Chorizo
    I don't think bunt is the auto play in the situation where you have a guy on 2nd 0 outs and just need 1 run to win. Speed and contact really stresses a defense no matter what, would rather get 3 cracks at putting the ball in play one time for a hit that wins the game.
  18. Fear The Chorizo
    It's all good, and everything's stable and steadily getting better... until it's not. Fundamentals are not great, and cost of living is waaaaay out of whack for too many people. Market volatility still reminds me alot of this same time period in 2008 - different reasons, but tough to not see history repeating itself in the markets.
  19. Fear The Chorizo
    yeah, but I have doubts there will be 2 teams that get into a bidding war over him at the level he'll think he deserves. I think it's going to be more along the lines of a handful of tepid suitors if the price/contract length makes sense to them, and then one team who really want Adames that winds up competing against what the previous "market rate" SS contracts were from a few offseasons ago that have largely proven to be bad longterm investments.
  20. Fear The Chorizo
    The Padres already have like 3 or 4 other veteran SS's making a ton of money they could easily move back to that position even if they opt not to resign Kim...cross them off that list. The Dodgers do make sense...if they feel like keeping Betts in the OF and don't want to get nuts with adding even more starting pitching via free agency this offseason to a payroll that is already ridiculous. Giants, too - and I think that's Wily's most likely destination. I also think it's the team most likely to overpay given how the last few free agent offseasons have unfolded for them, too. The Braves have already shown a willingness to let homegrown veteran position players walk when their contracts get to a point where you're paying for past performance - see Swanson, Dansby. I think they'd be interested - just not at the length and overall CV Wily would jump at.
  21. Fear The Chorizo
    Wondering which teams that have mountains of cash to spend and who would be interested in throwing Wily a 9-figure contract in free agency this winter to a SS who probably will need to be moved off that position soon? Thinking that list might be pretty short, and would actually limit Wily's prospects for a contract coming anywhere close to $200M - Even if the "market rate" should put him in that area.
  22. Fear The Chorizo
    Weird to say, but I hope Adames hits a slump soon, so he has enough time to find another groove in the playoffs. Otherwise this stretch will be a afterthought when he's not contributing offensively in October. When he's rolling at the plate for about 2-3 weeks 3 or 4 times a season, it's easy to forget the weeks of bad at bats that also come with Wily. He has a had a great bounce back season after 2023, that's for sure! Love him as a player and wish him well in free agency this offseason...hope he gets plenty of money from a team not named the Brewers.
  23. Fear The Chorizo
    Merrill continues to be the heavy favorite for ROY, but if Chourio keeps up this pace through September he probably winds up with better numbers than him despite that slow start to the year. What he is doing right now is league MVP-caliber
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    This team finds so many ways to win games....just a damn fun season to witness
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    Never a doubt Hide Devin's uniform tomorrow
