  1. I will gladly accept the RBI groundout there.
  2. I would have taken Hoskins getting drilled by a pitch again.
  3. They should have 4-5 runs on Severino. He is very hittable today. If they don't find a way to win this one it will be incredibly discouraging.
  4. Would have given us more of a shot than that did.
  5. You're right, it's not rocket science. A hitter like Bauers shouldn't be hitting in the 6 spot of a playoff game, plain and simple. He's DH'ing, so literally any of Perkins, Sanchez, or Haase would have been better. You don't have to go R/L all the way down the lineup.
  6. Well first, working a full count and striking out on very good pitch is a far, far better AB than popping out the very first pitch to the catcher. Secondly, Garrett Mitchell was a good hitter this year, has upside, and his presence in a run-producing spot in the lineup is understandable, unlike Jake Bauers, who has been a bad hitter not only this year but his entire career.
  7. Sure would've loved to have more runs in the 1st now instead of Bauers popping up the first pitch with the bases loaded.
  8. The crazy thing is we actually gave up value.
  9. Having Jake Bauers not only start, but hit in a run-producing spot in the lineup in a playoff game, is beyond criminal. Have we not seen enough of him throughout the entire regular season to know he's not good? What are you thinking, Murph? It's good we got 2 I guess, but we could have broken it open.
  10. Kind of crazy that Bauers, Monasterio, and Collins all made the playoff roster. Probably a pretty good indication that the back end of the bench needs to be beefed up next season. As others pointed out, when Rea went 106 pitches just two days ago, it just wouldn't make much sense to have him on the roster on 2 and 3 days rest from that. He'd be back for a potential NLDS roster I'm assuming.
  11. Fair point- we would have been one of those teams last year 🤣 but it's far easier to *assume* than a 2.
  12. McManus has exceeded 85% in FG percentage just once since 2016 and has a career FG percentage of 81.4% which would rank on the low end of starting kickers leaguewide. For comparison, Anders Carlson was 81.8% last season. Not exactly the massive upgrade you're looking for if you're going to roll the dice on a potential character concern. I get going with the known mediocre veteran commodity over the unknown that could be even worse, but if you were going to go that route you might as well have just went with Greg Joseph.
  13. Not just attempt. If you succeed at it, it would be one possession. If you fail at it, you are still down two, thus making it two possessions. And the likelihood of either outcome are about equal.
  14. I had a dyslexic moment and read the back of the jersey of Alex Alzalone of the Lions as something different.
  15. Why do commentators always refer to 8 point games as a "1 possession game"? Troy gushing over the call to just kick the XP because it "makes it a 1 possession game". No, it doesn't. It gives you about a 50/50 shot at a 1 possession game if you get a touchdown.
  16. As a Jahmyr Gibbs fantasy owner, Montgomery sucks and should never be out on the field.
  17. Well, looking at it from a straight probability standpoint, assuming all outcomes are a 50/50 chance, you have a 25% chance of winning the series if you drop Game 1, and a 75% chance if you win game 1. So, while you're not totally dead in the water if you don't win Game 1, it's definitely a big deal. Obviously the odds aren't exactly that and there are many variables in play, but it gives you an idea.
  18. For those who wanted to see Huntley brought in as the backup QB over Malik Willis, be happy that you didn't get your wish. Huntley is horrific.
  19. Huntley is terrible. Levis is terrible. Rudolph is terrible. The Dolphins/Titans game is unwatchable.
  20. So you must have agreed with the Barry example, then. I do concede that Anders is a flimsier example. Unless you have a kicker who is a complete disaster, there isn't often a better candidate at home on their couch. Anders was less consistent than we would have liked, but his completion percentage was merely below average, not disastrous.
  21. We had no control over the outcome, so I don't think it can. The Mets somewhat did, and they clearly preferred coming here versus San Diego, so let's hope that comes back to bite them.
  22. MLF for all the good that he does, has patience with both players and coaches in-season to a tremendous fault. I get that you don't want to be overreactionary, but one could legitimately argue that reluctance to move on from both Anders Carlson and Joe Barry much earlier than he did proved to be tremendously costly. There's certainly plenty of potential outcomes where history repeats itself in the playoffs and Narveson costs us our season.
  23. I mean there is really no excuse not to beat the Mets if it's the Mets. You're facing an exhausted team. You've got homefield, and at this point, you've been to the playoffs, numerous overall times over the last decade, this isn't a new experience. Obviously it's baseball and things happen, so who knows for sure especially in a 3 game series, and considering the preseason expectations it wouldn't make the season a failure, but it would be a pretty big disappointment to not advance.
