I had little or no idea who the pitchers were, how good they were, or what players I should be watching with the exception of one - Chicago’s Kyle Schwarber. I have no idea what “waving the W” means, nor do I care. I thought it would be more interesting if the Cubs won because then we could stop hearing about the “108-year drought, that the Cubs hadn’t been to the Series since 1908, blaming Steve Bartman or a stupid curse involving goats”.
#Who won world series 2016 game three skin#
What I’m trying to say is that I had no skin in the game. (They hated standing around waiting for something to happen. I find the sport boring, honestly, the season too long, and my kids hated playing it so much that I finally gave up trying to get them to enjoy it. I stopped paying attention to Major League Baseball a long time ago. I turned on Game 7 of the 2016 World Series and all the attention turned away from college football and to the amazing bit of sports that was going on at Chicago’s Wrigley field. The old adage of if “If ‘Bama loses to LSU, it’s not because ‘Bama is weak, it’s because LSU is so much more awesome than expected” is used to justify the rankings.Īnd that’s as far as I got. Include SEC East Florida at #11 and you have to realize that SEC success feeds on itself. The SEC West was a big winner with the Crimson Tide at #1, Texas A&M at #4 (!!!!!), Auburn at #9 and LSU at #13. Washington has been a surprise, but looks like they could easily win the Pac-12 and make the playoff. Alabama has been #1 throughout the season, Clemson has maintained a top-ranking position, as has Michigan. This is what order looks like, apparently, because that’s what we’ve had up until November. So I guess I just have to practice what I preach and be better next time.The College Football Playoff committee released their first rankings of the season and I sat down to write some reflections on it last night.
Easier said than done, but it is what it is and we have a lot more to play for throughout the rest of the season. I just have to continue to do my best to move forward and put this one behind me. It was lack of command, lack of getting ahead, which led to lack of conviction. “I’m frustrated with myself for not giving the team a chance to win from early on in the game. “There were some elements (high winds) to deal with today, but ultimately it starts and stops with me,” Bieber said. The 26-year-old right-hander, who led all of Major League Baseball with 122 Ks in 2020, and who posted 134 strikeouts in 96 2/3 innings last season, pitched in 87 games since 2018, 85 of them starts, and never went without at least one strikeout before getting clubbed by the Blue Jays. Whenever that dark day was, it occurred before he wore an Indians/Guardians uniform.
He was asked about that odd statistic and said he could not remember the last time it happened. It was a battle the entire time, but it was a battle for the entire staff.”īieber faced 21 batters without registering a strikeout. “He was having a hard time commanding and throwing strikes. “You don’t look up too many games when Biebs is in the fourth inning and strike-to-ball is like 50 percent,” manager Terry Francona said. Twins use nine-run inning to beat virus-hit Guardians
