  1. Rough inning for Houser. Thank goodness for the pickoff by Pina. Let's get out of this with no more damage...
  2. He'll be on it. Counsell loves defensive replacements. I'd guess Anderson misses out. I would be surprised if we didn't go with 5 OF on the NLDS roster. There comes a point, no matter what your positives are, that you have to be able to offer SOMETHING on offense. Even if JBJ were just a .650 OPS guy we probably wouldn't even be having this discussion. As it is you might as well have Brent Suter pinch hit late in a game in extra innings and that's just too much of a liability for limited roster space.
  3. I was just going to post the same thing. Taylor absolutely should be on the roster over JBJ especially with the lack of good righty bench bats. JBJ offers defense and baserunning but it's just not enough. If our CF was a liability it would be enough but we have Lorenzo Cain. JBJs bat is just too poor for the things he does well to make up for it.
  4. He has absolutely no power right now. Pretty sad. Manny Pina has 4 more HRs than Yeli in less than half as many ABs. It is sad to see him devolve from a 40 HR guy into an absolute punch-and-judy before his contract extension even begins. It is going to be a hideous looking contract over the next 7 seasons.
  5. I mean it's a 6th round pick. He is currently on the Colts' practice squad, meaning no NFL team considers him even worthy of a 53 man roster spot. The fact that he may be in line to start for the Colts is more of an indictment of the lack of any backup options that the Colts have. Hundley is your classic journeyman backup/3rd string QB. About what would be expected of a 5th round QB.
  6. I do tip for takeout, but tipping culture in the US has just gotten ridiculous. Doesn't feel like I can go out and purchase anything now without the presumption of an added tip, and it's not 15-18% anymore, it is 20-25-30%. Just pay these people a little more, charge a little more and stop forcing me to guess what an appropriate tip is for an AmFam Field concession worker who is simply handing me a bag of peanuts or a shuttle driver in Vegas giving me unsolicited gambling advice that I don't plan on taking anyway.
  7. That's my point. The 2019 Brewers were a very mediocre team that got scorching hot in September. Then they lost the Wild Card game. My guess is the Cardinals are looking at a similar fate. I mean I just respectfully don't see the relevance in the comparison here. The WC game is and always was a crap shoot and maybe the Cardinals win it and maybe they don't. We were an error and blown save away from winning that game against the eventual champs and if we do who knows what happens. I'm okay with a Cardinals/Dodgers WC game though because one of them will be heading home immediately. The Giants are up and the Dodgers are down tonight and I'm really hoping the Giants can hang onto the West.
  8. This is getting ridiculous. Just clinch the damn division already so you can start lining things up for the opening round.
  9. If I played for a mediocre team and was destroying one of the top teams in the majors I'd be happy too. They're going to be a playoff team. There's little doubt now. I don't really think they're mediocre and if they get Flaherty back and have him to pair with Wainwright I'd definitely take them seriously myself.
  10. Oh, I want no part of the Cardinals. Losing to the Giants is way preferable to losing to the Cards, and I don't much like either of those teams. Still, that is a totally emotional response. I don't think this series is all that predictive. Cards won two close games and are now up 6-0 in a game where we started a guy who won't sniff the postseason. And we haven't thrown Hader or Williams. I don't like it. I don't want the Cards. But this is an 8-7 season series if the score holds tonight. That doesn't feel very predictive to me. The fact that we are 30 games over 500 and will trail the season series against these guys isn't a source of major comfort if we play them.
  11. We still totally unconcerned about playing these guys in the postseason? That's the concensus?
  12. Carolina DST vs Davis Mills is definitely the right play. Always sucks if you make the right play and it doesn't end up working out, but that's fantasy football.
  13. "LaFleur said that he told defensive coordinator Joe Barry to either play coverage or get after the quarterback because playing man and sending just four in the first half wasn't creating any pressure. Barry started to bring pressure more in the second half and it helped." Always a super great sign of a defensive genius when your DC has to be specifically micromanaged by your HC on how to make adjustments.
  14. The division is a foregone conclusion, but I'm definitely in the "I don't want to see St. Louis in the postseason" group. You can tell me all you want that they shouldn't match up with us, I still won't feel good about about it. Of course I'd less rather see the Dodgers, so yeah. St Louis is almost certainly going to make it, all the other WC contenders are fading. I'm just hoping St Louis and L.A. end up in the Wild Card game so one of them is heading straight home.
  15. There's a nice silver lining for players who are constant DFA fodder. Big multipliers on your World Series ring chances! No wonder Sal Romano always elects free agency.
  16. We might. It honestly doesn't take a lot to go from a 13-3 team to a 7-10 team in this league.
  17. Everyone on the Packer defense looking around confused before the play.
  18. Isn't this defense supposed to be based on a strong pass rush? Goff might have time to eat his dinner in the pocket if he didn't eat already tonight.
  19. ask and receive. I mean to me the MNF commentators are wrong. It's a classic grounding. Yes there's a receiver 20 yards down the field that you can construe as an intended receiver. Literally pretty much every grounding situation ever involves pressure that affects a throw. If you're going to just assume that the throw gets there without the pressure then it kind of defeats the purpose of the rule.
  20. So if that's a forward pass why is it not grounding? Desperation release and zero receiver in the area. EDIT: Nevermind. Good call.
  21. To be fair, King seems to be regressing. There was a time when his biggest problem was not being able to stay on the field. Now, he’s getting toasted left and right. I am not sure King would make a 53 man roster if he were released tomorrow. I think he'd wind up on a practice squad in Buffalo.
