@mclaincausey I entirely agree
I love that certain pitchers have such crazy arm slots or deliveries that a hitter can't make heads or tails of what's coming down the chute. That is skill. I don't live an umpire arbitrarily deciding that for this inning everything 4" off the plate is a strike. I also think "framing" by catchers is bullshit. If there's a better system for balls and strikes, MLB owes it to the players and the fans to adopt. I don't care that an umpire might have a wide strike zone. What I care about is their ability to reliably enforce it ALL game and not start giving up in later innings.
Game within the game-wise, I think pitchers should hot and keeping your starter late into a game should be a calculated risk at the expense of offense. Small ball, suicide squeezes, being a terror on the base paths and bunting: sign me up. Some own coming in to get a single out, big NOPE (which is why I like the 3 batters rule now) -
I wisely (or not?) Stayed up for the whole thing, couldn't believe the fourth quarter and OT of that game

How about those Steelers?
I can't believe how bad they stink. -
@Matt @Oaktavia , I'm here to start a friendly rivalry. Packers coming to town. How are you feeling ?
Like we have a crapton of players out including Jackson and Humphrey…but I'm excited to see what Huntley can do again. Packers are a team I respect and if we lose it won't hurt as bad compared to us losing our two last divisional games. But a W would be crucial and in true Ravens fashion to win against monster teams but lose to the fucking Dolphins.

Right. Being a Ravens fan is equal parts pride and confusion. I’m grateful to have a consistently good team, much like the Packers, but having to win against the good teams because we can’t manage to beat the crappy ones is tough to deal with.
Anything can happen but I’ll be watching with my finger on the remote ready to abort if shit goes sideways.

I watched (most of) the Colts beating the Patriots last night. Much of the Colts attacking play was one-dimensional but very effective. Jonathan Taylor is a phenomenal player.

LMAO
but now the Bengals are right below my Ravens.
