My guy Wisch needs to get off Twitter for his own sanity. - OB25 October 1, 2026, 09:56:55
- He hasn’t stopped, more than 50 replies in the last 2 hours* - OB25 October 1, 2026, 13:42:57
- The Cubs should've tanked to play the Braves - CanHartlebHireSnider October 1, 2026, 09:59:00
  - I was definitely hoping for that once they lost the first 2 Marlins games.* - OB25 October 1, 2026, 10:08:12
2027 Good, Bad and Ugly - CanHartlebHireSnider October 1, 2026, 09:53:53
- With there being a supposed lack of FA starting pitching, are we sure we don't - Warrin'_Illini October 1, 2026, 10:32:19
  - I wouldn’t be surprised if they brought any of them back - CanHartlebHireSnider October 1, 2026, 10:36:12
    - For sure, they're all back of the rotation types.* - Warrin'_Illini October 1, 2026, 10:41:05
- I thought LAST offseason the focus had to be pitching pitching pitching* - KingTalkyTiki October 1, 2026, 10:23:32
  - Yes, I am excited for them to say the pitching market was inflated for the 4th straight offseason. - Carl Spackler October 1, 2026, 10:33:10
    - While I mostly agree they did go in hard this past deadline - CanHartlebHireSnider October 1, 2026, 10:37:38
      - But none fit the bill of TOR guys. They’ve gone hard in the middle/bottom.* - Carl Spackler October 1, 2026, 10:41:26
        
        I think you can absolutely win in the playoffs with the healthy/good version of Gausman/Holmes… - OB25 October 1, 2026, 11:00:46
        
        Agreed. Especially with their defense. Gausman banging his shoulder sucked - CanHartlebHireSnider October 1, 2026, 11:04:19
  - Every offseason should be the focus - CanHartlebHireSnider October 1, 2026, 10:26:13
    - Don't take that as a criticism of you. I agreed with you last year. - KingTalkyTiki October 1, 2026, 10:30:01
      - At least they didn't get to host a playoff game - RVA October 1, 2026, 10:57:25
- I imagine pitching market will be competitive again. Most need pitching and few reliable good arms* - UofIL6 October 1, 2026, 10:02:51
I still get goosebumps when I think about the run they scored.* - Herman Blume October 1, 2026, 07:38:03

Sucks. Crazy year. - CanHartlebHireSnider October 1, 2026, 00:03:05
- Three pitchers from your post to start the megathread took the mound in the playoffs - RVA October 1, 2026, 00:12:02
  - The number of pitchers on the IL this season was the most of any I could recall - CanHartlebHireSnider October 1, 2026, 00:17:14
    - Cabrera was so uniquely awful that I’m not even sure what you do with him. - OB25 October 1, 2026, 08:08:21
Made it to October* - RVA October 1, 2026, 00:00:26
Slow painful demise here * - MC September 30, 2026, 23:04:11

I like Seiya but that’s the at bat he does so often that I won’t miss if he’s gone. - OB25 September 30, 2026, 22:45:29
- I agree about those PAs but they need to bring back at least one of him or Ian - CanHartlebHireSnider September 30, 2026, 22:53:28
  - Bring back Seiya and Tyrone please.* - Warrin'_Illini October 1, 2026, 08:30:25
  - You misspelled strangled* - Herman Blume September 30, 2026, 22:58:34
I don’t know JD if I were a Padre fan I would 100% believe that’s intentional - CanHartlebHireSnider September 30, 2026, 22:35:12
Well that should do it. Just a cursed year with the pitching injuries. - OB25 September 30, 2026, 22:32:10
- Great offense statistically but seemingly too feast or famine* - Herman Blume September 30, 2026, 22:51:10
Lolshaw* - Herman Blume September 30, 2026, 22:18:15
This team is throwing up all over itself. WTF on these challenge decisions?* - Carl Spackler September 30, 2026, 22:00:49
Big brains* - Herman Blume September 30, 2026, 22:00:37
Oh lord dansby* - Mrap24 September 30, 2026, 21:54:36

The sound is so far off I'm going to have to mute this.* - Carl Spackler September 30, 2026, 21:53:20
Is the crowd loud? Is Ethan Salas young? Wish they’d mention something* - Herman Blume September 30, 2026, 21:42:12
This is some real bleak shit. Feels totally hopeless.* - OB25 September 30, 2026, 21:41:17
Terrible challenge and terrible positioning by Nico* - Mrap24 September 30, 2026, 21:40:25
That's a really bad tag by Nico. Perfect throw by Kelly - Carl Spackler September 30, 2026, 21:38:55
So exactly the same top of the first?* - RVA September 30, 2026, 21:17:23

Feels like a mercy killing is coming tonight. - JFG September 30, 2026, 06:13:44

Assad not being able to contain is brutal - CanHartlebHireSnider September 29, 2026, 22:35:39
