  1. This game has improved tremendously since the rain delay. Another 0-2 HR.
  2. That was a bad idea, Eddie. I'm glad it worked, but not a smart move.
  3. So why wasn't Thames used as they had originally intended? Saladino could not be more useless.
  4. I feel awful for that girl, and feel that dad was incredibly irresponsible. I mean, come on. First of all a gun is not a can of bug spray, you just do not throw it wherever in an attempt to clean up quickly from a camping trip. It should be handled responsibly and should not have been anywhere near the girl's backpack at any point. And after all that to just...forget about it? Really? Again, it's a gun. You do not just forget about your gun. It's a shame that she had to be made an example of in front of her school and have her life turned upside down because of dad's careless actions.
  5. The only thing that could really screw us is getting swept by the Cards. That's kind of the doomsday scenario that could put us on the road for the WC if we still made it. 1 out of 3 isn't ideal, but it would be a whole heck of a lot better.
  6. The dangerous part of not at least hanging with Chicago is that they're looking more and more likely to enter the last series of the season against St. Louis with absolutely nothing to play for. Expect them to rest almost every significant player for multiple if not every game in the series. Bullpen will be guys who most likely won't be on the playoff roster. It's highly likely to be a Cardinal series win if not sweep. Even if we can't win the division, we really need to stay close enough to force them to earn it or we may slip behind St. Louis.
  7. It pleases me excessively to see someone use/spell this correctly! The worst is seeing, "Player A 'compliments' Player B very well. Or, "Hopefully we can clinch a playoff 'birth'. "
  8. Not the time of year to hit an offensive slump, boys. That playoff spot is not locked up yet.
  9. The spiteful part of me wants one the 2 remaining teams to pick Fresno so that Nashville just gets stuck with whoever is left and doesn't get to pick.
  10. I've been wrong on the hot takes before too as seen on the first few pages. Happens. I find the huge pats on the back and begging for more from HH19 to be more cringeworthy.
  11. Does Maddon ever lose a damn challenge?
  12. Ah well. Last thing I needed was another reason to go to Vegas.
  13. Was just gonna say the same thing. Wow people take a breath. Braun has had a 900 OPS the second half, not sure if it has dipped below though as recently it seems hits aren't falling. And as noted his bad luck stuff has been there all year. He's basically been fine/adequate. Santana was bad, went to AAA and only did ok there. But he hits two HRs back to back to days and now he's got BRaun's spot for good. Don't get me wrong, Braun isn't what he was and will spend time on the DL, so we do need another OF. But if this year taught us anything depth is important. I hope Santana is back and does well next year, but there is a need and role for both. The odd man out in this situation will be Thames now that Jesus is a near every day guy. Not sure how long ago that .900 second half OPS was for Braun because he was at .789 heading into this game. I don't think that anyone is saying Braun sucks, just that his role is pretty easily replaceable at this point in his career by whoever and it's definitely not a great allocation of our resources for that much of our limited budget at this time in his career. But, it's a sunk cost, so we have to deal, and that's why he hasn't been the odd man out.
  14. I'm definitely good with Santana getting some starts again. The talent is definitely there.
  15. No. Because if that's an acceptable offer for DeGrom, someone with better trade capital can and will beat that. If the Mets would take that, why wouldn't the Astros swoop in and offer something centrered around Tucker and Alvarez?
  16. Because not all 5 team groups within that larger group of 30 are created equally. The AL East and West may have three 90 win teams each, while the Central may have one team over 75. I could turn that around and ask why you should be rewarded for the simple luck of being grouped with inferior teams.
  17. Manageable upcoming schedule. @Redskins, Bills, @Lions, 49ers. Absolutely need to head into the bye at 4-1-1 at worst, it gets brutal for awhile after the bye.
  18. It puts a lot more value on winning your division which should be a huge advantage. The Wild Card should be a harder path to winning a World Series and in the past it wasn't, now it is. This is one of the better changes they have made. Also teams play different schedules, being better by a game or two over 162 really means nothing at all. If there is a 20 game gap between teams I get your point but most of the time it is 2 or 3 games and that is nothing. If you want the highest chance to win in the playoffs win your division, every team has plenty of time to accomplish that. I think this is the best argument for it that I've seen. I've still yet to see anything that is based more on logic rather than just total subjectivity as to WHY the division winners should receive a bigger advantage than in any other professional sport, let alone "should" receive a "huge" advantage.
  19. I think it's clear that our corner play has improved overall, but our safeties suck. Just don't have much hope left for Haha. Wilkerson has pretty much been a non factor as you said. Daniels and Clark are solid. I think if I can take anything positive away today it's that I didn't come away overly impressed with Minnesota. It doesn't excuse us not putting the game away today but I didn't feel like we were overmatched at all by the Vikings like I was worried we might be. If they're the team to beat, the NFC is wide open and I see no reason we definitely can't win in their house.
