  1. Kershaw really is amazing. He's not the same power pitcher he used to be, but his location and stuff are so good that nobody but Pina has made solid contact. Even Cain's hit was a thousand-hopper through the infield.
  2. Saw that homer coming a mile away. I literally thought to myself, "It's 2-0, Gio is going to serve one up."
  3. Thought the first two strikes he threw to both Yelich and Aguilar were kind of juicy. Don't know if they were just being patient or were perhaps looking for something else.
  4. And that's certainly going to be the difficult part. Getting a lead against the likes of Kershaw, Buehler, and gang and holding it for the Frosty Boys is going to be a hell of a challenge.
  5. Yeah, I think Keith's lineup is probably dead-on except Pina will be in instead of Kratz. It's going to stink that Shaw will have to sit a lot in this series, but he's just so bad against lefties and these are really tough lefties.
  6. I'm sure I'm reading too much into this and I'm ashamed of myself for doing so, but Stearns was just on MLB Network and didn't necessarily sound all that confident about Gio. "Gio matches up as well as he can against a talented lineup like the Dodgers have. We're going to run him out there. We look forward to watching him and obviously our gameplan most days as we get into the middle innings...let's get to the bullpen and see what we can do." EDIT: They're talking to Mark Loretta now, who played on all four LCS teams. Pretty cool.
  7. I have a feeling we're either winning a close series or we're losing a runaway. I don't think the Dodgers win a close one.
  8. Coach Cooper doesn't appreciate the cockiness of looking ahead to the World Series.
  9. Today.
  10. I love rushing the field celebrations, but obviously they can be dangerous (Wisc-Mich is like the gold standard there). I went to Virginia and was at the game when we beat FSU for FSU's first-ever ACC loss. We rushed the field and it was awesome when I was on the field, but until then it was scary. The student section was probably like 8 feet or so above the ground, which isn't so bad, but when you're being pushed down towards the front row by an unstoppable mob, it's not fun. I was nervous I would just get pushed over the wall. Everything was cool, though. Rushed the court when we made a huge comeback to beat UNC in basketball in the 94-95 season, which was a blast.
  11. Eh, whatever. He's just having fun, pumping up his team. We loved it when Aguilar said that the Cubs knew they were in trouble. Sure, but I think there is a difference between "they know they have a problem tomorrow" and "we're going to beat Milwaukee, 4 games" or saying he's "100 percent" sure they're going back to the world series Puig. Is. Just. Having. Fun.
  12. Eh, whatever. He's just having fun, pumping up his team. We loved it when Aguilar said that the Cubs knew they were in trouble.
  13. Damn, it's so cool to see all the graphics and articles that show us in the final four.
  14. I'd be curious to see how ticket prices look on Thursday (I'm not buying, so I haven't been checking). As others have mentioned, prices might come down as people start worrying about being able to get rid of tickets. Then again, I would imagine the first two games right now are in really high demand, so prices might stay up. I bought two full strips of tickets for the NCAA tourney Atlanta regional this year, anticipating Virginia being in it (ugh, I just reminded myself). Paid something like $630 combined (can't remember exactly, but it was in the $600's). It was a huge splurge for me. Of course, when Virginia bombed out early, I didn't want to go to the games, nor did my brother, who was on the hook for the other seat. I put them up for sale to try to make a small profit, but nobody was biting. I kept lowering the price, willing to take a small loss. Fortunately, early in the week of the Sweet 16, my wife found a buyer on a local moms Facebook group - someone's boyfriend. He was a Kentucky fan and they were playing. I quickly called him. I was asking $750 (wishful thinking), he offered $700, and I immediately agreed. I told him I could meet him within the hour, but there was bad weather on the way, so he didn't want to venture out. Afraid of losing a sale as prices dropped, I told him I'd come to his house. I did, he gave me $700 cash, and I immediately took it to the bank, relieved. Prices plummeted right after that. A couple days later, I would've only been able to get $200+.
  15. College sports are so top heavy because there's no draft (not that there would be). Oh wow, Alabama has the #1 football recruiting class again! Oh, how unusual - the top recruits are going to Georgia and Clemson! Success begets success in college. It's crazy hard for teams, especially in sports where you need a lot of good players, to climb into the top ranks if they aren't already there. The best players just go to the best programs and keep them the best. Drafts in pro sports give lesser teams a chance to turn it around. They don't always do so, but at least the opportunity is there.
  16. Hope Barraclough puts up doughnuts for you.
  17. I know I want nothing to do with that Astros starting rotation. They basically have five aces.
