My conversation is "How do we know Arthur Smith is the reason why we're scoring with seconds to go at the end of each half?"

If you want to assume something that I'm not asking, that's on you....not me. I want this to be a good hire. I want to like the guy. I want to be wrong like I was about Patricia. So I ask a question. And I get a bunch of bullshit in response.

Since you've decided you're the arbiter of how this conversation is going, I thought you'd like all the info.

Have you not heard Jeremiah Smith's response to play-calling this year vs. last under Hartline?

What's up with the "Old Man yells at cloud" persona lately?

Seriously!

Guardians-Rays Game 3 has new first-pitch time due to rain forecast​

Akron Beacon Journal
Updated Oct. 14, 2026, 12:42 p.m. ET

The Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays have a new first-pitch time for Game 3 of the ALCS, as Mother Nature is now becoming a key character in the series.
The Guardians won Game 1 of the ALCS but then dropped Game 2 at Tropicana Field, leaving the series tied 1-1 as it heads to Cleveland.
But the local forecast looks troublesome for the next few days, and it has impacted Game 3, which now has a scheduled first-pitch time of 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15. The original start time was 6 p.m. but with incoming inclement weather, MLB decided to move the game up five hours.
Weather is also possible for Games 4 and 5 in Cleveland, so additional changes could be on the horizon (along with the rain).

@Mike80 , can you help us out, bro? I'm happy to help if needed.

I remember watching this happen, crazy days

Pierce quoted yesterday:

• On his personal play: "I feel like I've done pretty well within our scheme. I don't think a lot of people really understand exactly what we're asked to do, so I don't really take much consideration of what they have to say. So it's like I'm just doing what (Matt Patricia) wants me to do, and I feel like I've done a good job. I've graded out a champion multiple weeks in a row. So that's ultimately all I can do."

That’s what I wanted MP is happy so am I. I’d be happier with more sacks interceptions and tackles for loss. He’s reaching his peak which is all anyone can ask.

I'm giving Hankton some credit for this. I don't think these guys get this run last year. That was one of my two issues with Hartline as WR coach; no minutes early in the season, if at all, and no rotation. I'm a fan so far.

100% agreed.

Agree with what everyone is saying. Henry could have come in like a diva but he hasn't. He blocks his ass off and the fact that he is playing shows he is handling his business in practice and off the field.
