OT: MIchigan Sports Thread: UM wins Natty Championship

[SoupNazi]

Pitching market is absolute insanity. This is inane. Guy is a 37 year old injury magnet. This is the type of guy that should go for a third of this because the likelihood of reinjury is just so high.

Contracts are just out of hand in baseball. This guy is going to get 17 million if he’s just okay and he doesn’t sprain something.

I thought the same thing. He made three starts for Cleveland and ended up on the IL after each one. That's absolutely insane and I'm glad that even though my Guardians had interest in bringing him back, they didn't at that price.

I'm assuming @Ricelund is busy picking up the pieces of his exploded head after hearing about this signing before he replies.

Love to see Chris so willing to build on last year’s success!

Spend the money on Skubal, not scraps.

Yeah, that's the part I don't understand. Either pony up for a couple of quality additions or commit to staying cheap and going with the kids.

Don't overpay for a lower tier guy that will spend more time on the DL than on the roster.

Onside kick with 12 mins left, was not it.

That was a horrible play call. We'd be down a FG if not for that.

 

[raymond23]

What an incredible game

Hats off to Josh Allen he's unbelievable

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

That was a horrible play call. We'd be down a FG if not for that.

I don’t believe that. Way I see it, they boom it deep and we get to see Buffalo kill 5-6 minutes, we get ball back at 6 to go down 17 at worst or 13 at best.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Onside kick with 12 mins left, was not it.

He is a moron for that.

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

He is a moron for that.

No, he’s not. I see what they were doing. It just didn’t work out. Mack Hollins made an awesome play.

If the league wasn’t so f***ing stupid as to completely neuter any kind of trickery in plays, a surprise onside kick there would have been an incredible idea.

But now that you have to declare it… it’s just mindnunbingly stupid

 

[Reality Check]

Lions just lost McNeil and Davis probably long term. Both of which happened prior to the onside attempt.

This team is f***ing 12-2 and I have lower expectations this year than last...
