What’s incredible to me is that after a play like that, you’d think he be doing everything he could to make up for it. Nope, he hit a one foot grounder and literally walked back to the dugout
He knows he's untouchable.

Not only do we have many slow players, but also lack of hustle and bad base running, and bad coaching at both first and third as well as in the dugout. Not championship quality.
Understatement of the year

That had to be the worst baserunning inning by a player I've ever seen in my life. He doesn't get to third on the ball that dropped. He doesn't score from second on an insane attempt at a double play. And then that.

Nothing is ever easy with this team. Every game is it's own nightmare.

By this argument we will never have racism because only that individual knows what's really truly in their heart...we have actions, and consistent ones over time, but that's not proof, either.
I'm sure Curt Schilling can pontificate for hours on the subject of what makes him not a racist but an cancel culture patriot.
Not sure I agree with this. There are provable hate crimes (the Buffalo guy being the most recent one). There are clearly racist words. I even acknowledged if the 2019 thing never happened it would have definitely seemed racist. Busting someone's balls who compared himself to one of the most important figures in sports history seemed like trash talk. It could have been 100% with racist intent, but I don't know that and won't act like I know that.

Every media personality has a schtick today...it's not about pure journalism anymore and really hasn't been that way since the 70s and 80s.
And no I don't believe that even he believes half of what he asserts or claims.
Interview Joe Posnanski on Whitlock and you will get to the truth if he is forthcoming. He's a standup guy and not so self righteous as Jeff Passan. He started with the Augusta Chronicle so he knows everything about racism and reverse racism from an outsider's perspective in the South.
So don't trust any media personality? I can get on board with that 😀

Considering the 2019 article i find it hard to take the race stance, I hate Donaldson with a passion but I think this is being blown way out of proportion and wouldnt have brought on the anger of the club had we been doing well. Lump me in the "dumb white guy" crowd but considering context I just don't see it as being as malicious as some are suggesting.
Yup, I thought it was definitely messed up and racist when I first heard about it, but then heard about the 2019 thing. Obviously still a stupid comment, especially in today's climate, but I can't be sure it was 100% racist like the mind readers here. Lump me in with the "dumb Latino" crowd if there is one.
Also, be careful, opinions like this are "telling on yourself". Whatever that is supposed to mean.

Whitlock makes Stephen A. Smith seem like the equivalent of a reasonable version of Jim Rome.
He has been a complete bozo ever since his days with the KC Star in the late 90s.
He courts controversy constantly, priding himself on going against the grain if it's anything to do with race and culture, kind of a mix of Bill Maher and Joe Rogan for sports fans to get all riled up by.
So do you believe that Whitlock, Maher, and Rogan just say things that they don't actually believe in or feel? I've only really started following politics in the last few years after the Jacob Blake stuff was shoved down my throat, but apparently I should have learned to lean more left. Because they can read minds and I want to read minds.

Why would we pitch to that guy with first base open? I'm so confused.

I don’t think the one they called earlier was a goaltending, so it may have balanced out.
Does Illinois even run an offense? It seems like they just bring it down, and it’s one pass and a bad shot most possessions.
It has been a weird season that hasn't been a ton of fun to watch.
I think going into the season they were going to play a bunch of high PnR with Curbelo and Kofi. Curbelo gets brain damage, misses two months, and hasn't been the same.
The offense starts to look a little better as they start to play a high-low with Grandison and Kofi off of some motion. What happens? Grandison gets Covid and then hurts his shoulder.
Frazier hurt his shoulder before the year (you can see the sleeve). Damonte dropped 21% in 3 point percentage from last year. Right now when Frazier and Damonte are on the floor offensively they are almost handcuffed because of how limited they are offensively and how bad they are shooting. Just a frustrating season.

That Rutgers vs Purdue finish was pretty amazing. This year seems wide open again.
-
Not one holding call on the packers all day. Impressive.
-
When I see the Bears in shotgun on first down I just assume it's a 3 and out now.

That missed offsides call is looming large now. Basically changed the momentum of the game.
And then the taunting call on Edwards after Rodgers grabbed his facemask.

I have one ticket section 352 row 2 I might be willing to sell if somebody is interested.

Bret Bielema not a good hire!
4 games into the season? Give the man some time.

Do you really believe there is some organized mafia type shit going on with professional lines or just venting?
I'm mostly just venting, but it happened in the NBA, so there's a nonzero chance of it happening in the MLB.
My educated guess was that the line dropped because of our lineup card.
-
The betting line dropped almost 10 cents in favor of the Royals right before the game. I thought it was so weird considering the sox were facing lefty. Now that I've watched this homeplate umpire the entire game, I feel like someone knew something I didn't.

Absolutely embarrassing performance from Ayo in the last 10 minutes. Got the ball stolen from him by a center twice.
He's a really good player, but it looked like the Illini got better when he missed time to be honest. He gets beat on defense a lot, stops the ball, and turns the ball over too much against physical defense.
He did a great job helping turn the program around, but he was overrated IMO.
-
Ayo is pretty good... Really looking forward to the Illinois-Michigan matchup in a week and a half.

This IU/Illinois game is one of the least pleasant experiences I've ever had in my life watching basketball

I think you mean that ball over towards the right sideline?
Yeah, that last offensive series was quite strange...maybe if Hunt catches the ball in rhythm he picks up 3-4 more yards, but Mayfield had the hot hand and was converting in every 3rd or 4th down situation.

You’re referring to the first half?
Because the only obvious point the second half was punting there on 4th and 9.
And letting Chad Henne of all people get out of contain in a third and really long situation.
He didn't challenge a play that wasn't a catch earlier in the game. He also then challenged the Hill catch which cost him a timeout. Then after intercepting Henne in the endzone it seemed very clear that they wanted to bleed the clock and have that be the last possession if they could. Played really slow (to where they had to blow another timeout) and was trying to run and throw short passes. Backfired badly.
They also won the coin toss and deferred, which had them playing from behind the whole game. A team like the browns that can run the ball that well doesn't want to play from behind.

Stefanski was terrible for the Browns. Wow.

I feel like the sox probably have a better average, but their singles don't score anyone because they're so slow on top of having the worst 3b coach in ML history.
