But it was a first down. Clock should have stopped when the whistle blew for forward progress. Doubtful UNC could have gotten a play off after the reset but still a bad call, just ended up with the same result.

I think the rules were changed to allow for injury subs during a postseason series, you just can't use the injured player during the next series. Though I can certainly see the utility in a 3rd catcher, especially since both McCann and Cervelli are not just defensive specialists, they can both...

3rd catcher (3.5 if you count Culberson) and Riley over Hamilton, Duvall, or Ortega? You may see one of them in lieu of Ender for the NLDS if he is just making it back. I'm assuming Hechavarria is out since he hasn't played in a week I don't think. I think Martin is definitely in. Probably...

These guys go to West Point. Pretty sure they've been told a lot worse than that. They also know the reality of the situation. I'm fairly confident that they won't be triggered by their coach repeating the obvious (which by the way is that they may be less talented, not that they aren't...

Can't blame you for not knowing it. I don't think I've seen a single news article or media figure actually cite it in the context of Kelly Bryant. Perhaps a bit more research was appropriate before they were published, but that's not the day and age we live in. Only reason I knew of it was...

I mean, he kinda did. Sure he didn't cite it directly, but he did say Bryant didn't get one because he wasn't on the team. “I don’t know. What do you want me to say? He was not on the team. It is as simple as that. We played 11 games after he left. I think. We played 15 games. I mean there is...

Not if he wasn't eligible to play for the team at the time of the championship game. Coaches' hands are pretty tied per the NCAA rule above.

Whether Dabo wanted to or not, he can't give Bryant a ring without committing an NCAA violation. As far as I know, Bryant was not on the team (and no longer enrolled at Clemson) and thus not eligible to play in the championship game: 16.1.4.2 Awards for Winning Conference and National...

Only right that Spencer signs off before the nation suffers its first season without CPJ in 20+ years. CPJ provided some much good content for EDSBS through the years. Was a good run for both of them.

Well said! Would just add that he had the foresight to see that term limits were an important safeguard against tyrannical power (150 years before the rest of us finally made it official). Simply walked away from the office to go back to farming and surveying.

No worries, GT_EE78, my comment was mainly in jest, but it goes to show what a rich military history the US has for such a young country. A lot to be proud of.

I recognize that his march(es) revolutionized what was acceptable in warfare, but I can't in good conscience give him any credit due to what he did to my beloved Palmetto State. And his intentional targeting of civilians and destruction of private property after victory was ensured would get...

Too much emphasis on Civil War and WWII, what about Andrew F'ing Jackson or Winfield Scott or Matthew Ridgeway? Heck, maybe throw in some Schwarzkopf and Mattis to bring it up to date. And any list that doesn't have George Marshall on it is bunk. ;)

Jason Neighborgall says hello. That guy could really sling it, unfortunately never really found the control he needed to be successful.

I suspect the former is what drove the renewed interest this weekend. As for the latter, you and I both know that sounds nice and there will be those of us that support the team regardless, but that's not the reality of modern sports. People like a winner, second to that they'll support an...

I would say that these two things are related and I don't know what the solution is. Your average fan can only take so many post-season disappointments after investing so much energy into the team during the season. I think the regional losing streak (particularly at home), coupled with the...

While I was angry and frustrated last night, this summarizes my feelings this morning. I think what makes me the saddest is that pitching is not what cost us the regional, despite the injuries. The rest of the staff really stepped up this weekend (particularly last night) and we really had a...

Welp, you jinxed him. Walked the second batter in the 8th. Still got the no-no going through 8 though. ETA: And I double-jinxed him. Gave up a dinger on the first pitch of the 9th.

This really bothers me too. This isn't coach speak, it's just flat-out wrong and makes you question his strategic decision-making ability.
