    At least they used that inning to jack up their hard out total to two (out of 21). So that counts as improvement, right?
  2. Frayed Knot
    Oh good, a lazy ass pop up. Haven't seen one of those in at least two batters. And now another!

    Four runs in two [CROSSOUT]innings[/CROSSOUT] games, not currently doable.

    They're just hitting [CROSSOUT]in[/CROSSOUT] bad [CROSSOUT]luck[/CROSSOUT].

    Right now it's taken five innings to get two hits! Both are singles and one was a rule book hit. And of the 15 outs, 14 of them have been soft. But don't worry, we've got that easy schedule coming up (one which is getting increasingly LESS easy by the day)

    The September 2022 Mets: Making bad teams and non-descript pitchers look good. Now held over for a second sold out week!

    I might also question why the Cubs were allowed 25 minutes to decide on a replacement for the injured player.
  8. Frayed Knot
    How can both the HP & 1B umps both not see that??? He not only wasn't on the right side of the line, he wasn't even close to the line.

    More concerned with the high pitch count for JdG than the HR.

    Well of course it's revenue they're after. But part of the drive for revenue is convincing teams/fans that they're still 'in it' deeper into the season despite muddling along somewhere in the middle of the pack. The number of teams that affects will vary from year to year (this season is more have/have-not than most) but 'giving more teams a chance' is often the stated goal of playoff expansion proponents.

    deGrom and Sampson, two guys with formerly long hair.

    So even though Grimm's grid above lists only the realistic NL playoff contenders, I'd just like to point out that, thanks to the newly expanded playoff system, only PIT, WAS, & OAK have been officially eliminated even as we're down to 20-ish games left to play and each of those clubs are candidates to lose 100+ games. Such 'inclusion' is of course the whole point behind expanded playoffs, to reward mediocrity and to keep alive, even among the sub-mediocres for as long as possible, the idea that they're merely a hot-streak or two away from contention. Participation trophies and orange slices will be available in the lobby. The Dodgers, currently on pace for 111 wins, are the only club in either league so far to clinch a playoff spot.

    =Gwreck post_id=107082 time=1663043764 user_id=56] Is this an actual losing streak for Atlanta?
  15. Frayed Knot
    And now ten games through the "easy" part of the schedule we're 5 - 5
  16. Frayed Knot
    So it's 5 - 5 thru the first ten games of the 'easy' schedule '.

    So they lose the DH but that slot is only going cone up once more (if we're lucky) so it's a PH situation and by running Givens you save all your PH'ers.
  19. Frayed Knot
    And now I have no idea what's going on. Is this sone variation of the Ohtani rule?
  20. Frayed Knot
    Gotta run for Vogey ...
  21. Frayed Knot
    Cubs have made several bad/dumb/slow, or just plain bad, plays tonight. And we've still just got one run.
  22. Frayed Knot
    We've been really good at keeping the leadoff hitters off base tonight. I'm talking about the offense.
  23. Frayed Knot
    Nice two out triple by Escobar. I was starting to think we weren't going to have any runners to strand this inning.
  24. Frayed Knot
    Not a lot going right so far.
  25. Frayed Knot
    Not a smart play by Wisdom
