By my reckoning, this shot is worth 410 points.

Good start for the Giants. Bumgarner has a fractured hand and Samardzija is out 3 weeks to a month.
This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena. ![[Image: ITgoyeg.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ITgoyeg.png)

Not to be a dick or anything, and I get that the game moves quickly and reflexes/bad habits kick in when a line drive is coming your way, but I just saw a replay of Bumgarner's injury. He tried to barehand the liner. It's kind of his fault. Not entirely but kind of.

It's his own fucking fault...totally. He should give all the money back and go sell bait.

Nice going Loyola.
Some player of theirs said it was time to shock the world before this tourny began and they have done just that.
Pretty cool.
(Is this where this post goes?)

MLB.com’s top 10 starting rotations are listed. Cubs are the top NL team and 3rd overall with Astros and Indians as #1 and #2.

Surprised the Nats werent the top NL rotation given their 1-2, but suppose that 1-5 ours is more balanced.

Dodgers are too low; Yankees are too high.

Wow...congrats! You must be going crazy.
Our house has jumped on this bandwagon (w/just a little bit of shame) starting in the round of 64 (don't remember them ever making the tournament in my lifetime).
When I was young, my half-brother went to Depaul Law Schol and he'd take me to see Ray Myers' last squads starting in about '80--I loved those guys.
What these kids have done has been amazing.

It's been a crazy unexpected run, but I'm by no means a college sports fan, so it's all very new to me. When I was a student there, sports were just an afterthought. Kinda cool to finally have a rooting interest.
Also, I think the Indians are too high on that list. They lack the durability to be top 3, although Kluber and Carrasco are a very nice 1-2.

Yeah. If Salazar were healthy, it would be different.

Looking at MLB.com's starting rotation rankings:
Agree that Astros are clear favorite. Indians were studs last year but without Salazar it's a different ballgame so the Indians might be a bit high
Cubs or Nationals might be #2 as Nats starting rotation is just dangerous if they can stay healthy - which is case for many teams but Strausberg has an injury history. Scherzer is such a stud and Gio seemed to find a different gear last year.
D-backs at 5 with Greinke showing velocity issues again make me question their placement but they seemed to outperform expectations last season.
Dodgers at 8 seems too low initially but that might just be a case of recalling history - they were able to lose Greinke last year and didn't seem to miss much. Just can't trust that Hill will continue to produce but he did last season so...
A bit of an issue with the Mets at 9 but as Wheeler has already been sent down and Harvey fastball has lost 3 mph making him hittable.

The Ringer takes a statistical assessment of catchers batting under 3 scenarios including: catchers’ treatment by umpires, catchers batting against pitchers whom they’ve caught previously, and, catchers performance against knuckleballers. Article was good with more antedotes than hardcore stats but 2 of the scenarios are extremely infrequent events so although interesting not insightful to assessing catchers offensive performance.
