Thank the ref

Why is the ref even in that position? What a friggin clown

Nowhere in the flow of a game is a ref supposed to be anywhere near where this "look at me" found himself. He is supposed to flow down the sideline/alley until he meets the baseline and then can float along the baseline. To find yourself 15 feet within the field of play and foul line extended has no justification.

So, barring trades or injuries, here's your opening day lineup and bench. I will not attempt to predict batting order.

1B Alonso
2B McNeil
SS Lindor
3B Vientos
LF Nimmo
CF Taylor/Siri
RF Soto
C Alvarez
DH Winker/Marte

BENCH
Torrens
Taylor/Siri
Winker/Marte
Madrigal

No room for Acuna, Baty, or Mauricio. Unless one of them beats out Madrigal.

That said, there are always injuries, and possibly trades.

Jose Siri is going to frustrate fans on this board. He strikes out a ton, doesn't walk all that much, and has a low BA, OBP and OPS.

What they’re saying about Rutgers, which ‘looked like NCAA Tournament team’ in win over Illinois

Tango Two
The problem being, of course, even if they are playing great at the end of the year, they might be a tournament team but they won’t have a tournament résumé, barring them going 8-1 or 7-2 and going crazy in the Big Ten Tournament.

You can’t separate the “how they looked down the stretch” from Mag’s injury playing a big part in that (“they just didn’t look the same the rest of the year”).

I think what bac is saying is that it wasn’t so much the bad “stretch run” that kept us out in 2023 but rather the fact that we lost a lot of games in February after Mag went down.

Does this mean they will put us in the tournament if (1) we have enough wins on the résumé based on a hot February stretch run; and (2) ACE AND DYLAN ARE BOTH HEALTHY? (the reverse situation from 2023).

Who knows, but I hope we’re in that position to find out.

Right it would depend on how/if they look at the team that would be in the tournament and how it differs from other parts of the season.
  1. Do they only consider the 3 games Harper missed completely where they went 1-2 or is that not enough?
  2. Do they also consider the 3 other games where he was severely compromised and went a combined 1-5?
  3. Do they factor in that when Grant is starting and Harper is fully healthy they're currently 3-0 (All Quad 1) and with the following hypothetical metrics if they finish 18-13:
    1. Overall: 9-2; Quad 1: 5-2; Quad 2: 3-0; Quad 3: 1-0
I'll admit that 3 would be completely unprecedented but this is a team that brought in 9 new contributors and it would be expected that finding the right lineup would take some time. They thought 8 games without Mag was enough to evaluate the team that would be in the tournament and that would be 11 games.

Not an attack at all….i just think until you look at the bubble for 2025 you are just using past bubbles in thinkingvwhat this year’s bubbles. 18-13 could be a 50/50 based on what we know now if the bubble is really weak this year. With the lack of parity this year in major confernces that might be the case.
