  1. So did JT get hurt? Of course cameras didn't show anything. But looked like he might have been rolled up on.
  2. That was a nice ball. Horrible by that WR
  3. Yeah, I'll set the over/under at non-holding calls on the Kansas O-Line at 10.
  4. Hasn't Enos been fired from multiple jobs? I mean I get Arkie isn't exactly a destination for a young up and coming OC with a HC close to the hot seat, but yeah, this guy seems like he sucks.
  5. He had no idea what he's doing. Arkie offense is just garbage.
  6. A stress free win would be great. But I'll take any kind of W we can get to set up next week.
  7. So Heaney tonight. Who do we throw tomorrow? I knew it was awful but saw 1 for 25 with RISP this road trip. JFC. Offense is going to have to break out and score 10+ one of these games to have a chance to win.
  8. It's going to be 3 days of game 7. Last night was absolutely the regular season equivalent of game 6. Why I was so damn pissed. We have absolutely no pitching left. Who is even starting tomorrow?? Obviously, from the starter perspective, a lot of that is just shitty luck. But beginning with not bringing Dunning in for the 8th Weds with a lead despite only throwing like 85 pitches, leading to Chapman in the 8th setting up a back to back, then Leclerc (with a 5 fucking run lead) in the 9th, thus resulting in the shit show of decision making yesterday, Bochy fucked this team.
  9. Fair point. Probably overly critical on that just because it brought back flashbacks of the play we don't discuss
  10. Yep, people are going to say that literally every single game on our schedule except for maybe Houston if they don't look significantly improved the next 2 weeks. We heard it last week as well. And hell, they will probably be right one of these games. But I don't think it will be this week.
  11. 2000 was when he scored like 5 or 6 TD's. But it 2002 that he ran for like 250+ on us on that damn sprint draw we couldn't stop. We had a lead starting the 4th quarter and he just dominated us from there out running the same play over and over. That guy owned us. Those were dark days indeed. Edit: I looked it up. He had 248 on us in 2002 including 102 4th quarter rushing yards. Then 6 TD's in 2000 on only 87 yards rushing. Ughh
  12. Tricky to not blow your chance to move up when you have the opportunity (looking at you Matt Campbell) but if he has a decent year (and likes his prospects next year) I would think he can find a better job than MSU. Then again, MSU suddenly has a lot of money to throw around.
  13. Game temp depends on when the front hits Dallas. As someone sitting east side upper deck, hopefully Sat and not Sun.
  14. With Chapman and LeClerc unavailable will almost certainly see him tonight. Hoping somehow his reduced role will allow him to get back to form but not counting on it. The other frustrating part of last night is that the Mariners were absolutely scraping the botom of the barrel in their pen after the Astros series and we didn't do shit with it. Particularly in the 7th the approach was maddening. I think that guy would have walked the bases loaded if they would have let him. Oh well. I'll stop bitching.
  15. Given the state of the bullpen, I would have preferred they played to win the game after 2 outs.
  16. Also, still struggling to understand the defensive alignment in that situation. If not playing so shallow that's a ball that could be caught. Coaching meltdown all the way around.
  17. Yeah, I'm guessing a lot of us don't post from the phone and I feel zero need to log in to my laptop and vent or celebrate unless a big win or a big L. Usually just read the thread next day and move on. Same with Stars and Mavs. As for last night, I still can't get over the fact Chapman went into that game. Newberg posted Chapman stats on back to back. 9 IP's. 9 ER's, 15 walks. It's unfathomable to put him in in that situation last night when you have LeClerk rolling after a 9 pitch inning. And if the issue is Leclerc pitched Weds night, well, maybe he shouldn't have pitched in a damn 5-0 game.
  18. Nothing else to say but Fuck Chapman. Can't believe we wasted a good starting pitcher on his sorry ass. Pure idiocy putting his completely unreliable and unpredictable ass in after a clean 9 pitch inning.
  19. Just making sure it wasn't revisionist history in my head but this was my take on 8/7. I definitely thought Dan and Jake would lose but this pretty much matches exactly what I think now. Except Cumulus came off (i) looking worse than I thought they would and (ii) appears to have gotten worked and actually weakened their hand in future non-compete fights.
  20. Good to see Seager in the lineup.
  21. We know Bob recently signed a contract extension before all of this blew up. Do we know if anyone else has been recently renewed or expiring soon?
  22. Gordo's Twitch will be interesting. I think Cumulus could certainly take that position, but if the other hosts learned anything after this debacle, it's that Cumulus really doesn't have any leverage with any of them. What are they going to do if Gordo steps out of line. Fire him? I mean, as Cat admitted in cross "perhaps" Gordo is the Ticket's golden child.
  23. I think he means just bringing the lawsuit generally. It was an incredibly idiotic business decision by Cumulus that was obvious day 1. Not only "going after the little guy" but allowing dirty laundry to air (Cumulus/Bennet pitting Bob against Dan, forcing non-competes on essentially minimum wage employees, etc.). I know it won't happen but really just wish Cumulus would sell the station. It's a tough business model for any company in current times but I think this entire debacle showed Cumulus is (i) particularly shitty and (ii) clueless and never understood the asset they have if they thought starting this litigation was a good idea. Given Jake and Dan appear to be able to podcast starting tomorrow free and clear, they didn't even succeed in scaring future employees from challenging their non-competes in a similar fashion. Good job good effort.
  24. Yeah, based on what I scanned and excerpts that were posted on twitter they did not come off well at all. Obviously we'll likely never know terms of settlement, but sure seems like I was wrong and Jake and Dan's scrappy small firm lawyers worked Cumulus over. Did not expect for this to go well for the good guys. But as it stands, looks like they get to do their podcast (maybe they bumped out any potential return to radio longer in exchange) while most P1's paying attention to this saga somehow have an even lower opinion of Cumulus and management (which I wasn't sure was possible pre litigation).
  25. Right. Your risk analysis is a bit different than Don Johnson's which is pretty similar to mine.
