I definitely thought they had enough time to run the ball especially towards the sideline.

Fields played alright besides the missed layup for the TD and throwing the ball at the lineman's helmet. Even the best WR in the group fucked up royally in the biggest moment of the game today. Fields' receivers are all terrible.

Holmes looks nowhere near as good as he was early in the season.

How does he keep doing this and not get benched?

Upset city in game 1. It's looking like sitting around for 5 days is not an advantage.

I laughed at this...but this is actually happening.

Chapman and Diekman would be known as the 7 walks per 9 brothers.

He's worth the contract if you believe he can stay healthy. If he's not able to throw at least 50 innings a year in the next 2 years, he's not worth the contract.

And then they failed to show up in the playoffs, just like Shildt's team. I don't want the guy to manage the Sox, but I also don't think he was the reason the Cardinals lost a close wild card game to one of the best teams in baseball.

Tender: Giolito, Lopez, Cease, Kopech: $21.6 MM

I wouldn't mind Bassitt as an addition to the rotation but he might be out of our price range.

They play tomorrow and Wednesday. But get an off day on Thursday. Darvish could go Wednesday on full rest since he last pitched on Friday. They might have to start Clevinger in game 1.

It's pretty hilarious. Never thought I'd see umpires massage guys' hair and ears.

Looks like every road team besides Tampa will win their series. So much for home field.

Bob says the Sox will not re-sign Jose and that everyone is available for trade except Cease and Vaughn. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2022/10/09/2022-mlb-award-predictions-aaron-judge-mvp-cy-young-rookie-picks/8221158001/

Pollock actually hit close to his career averages in the 2nd half of the season and his defense was also much. better. But he's just a frustrating player to watch. Constantly popping the ball up on the infield and not being able to hit RHP gets real old. I think there is a chance he can rebound to being a 2+ WAR player next year, but that's not changing the outlook of this team.

Phillies went from 7 games under, firing their manager, to making the playoffs and beating a pretty good Cardinals team in the first round. If only another team with a bad manager did something similar.

I don't think any of them are wrong answers. Goldschmidt was the best hitter in the NL.

They must have come across whatever the White Sox hitters were reading.

Goldy and Arenado both choked big time. Cardinals might be done.

I think they want him to get the top and middle of the order out and have Ottavino pitch to the bottom of the order. Not the worst idea but if it blows up people are all gonna ask why they didn't save Diaz for the 9th.

Only 26% sliders this game, although he threw his slider 6% more this year than he did last year.

So what exactly is different about deGrom this year? The guy is still throwing 100+. The location doesn't look terrible. Yet guys had no chance against him last year but he actually looks hittable this year.

I read this before he removed the backstory. The backstory didn't make a whole lot of sense. Apparently he works at Panera and at the ER? Maybe I misread that part or am misremembering it. Either way, I find it hard to believe anybody would talk this long and in this detail to a stranger about gossip at their job. All this must have taken hours to talk about.
