  1. More Mariners schadenfruede: the Royals went 12-1 vs the White Sox. tigers are currently 10-1 vs the White Sox. mariners 6-1 vs the White Sox. WC race probably looks a lot difference if they get another 6 games vs that garbage.
  2. I have no problem with it ( other than the risk of a wet mound/ball after what happened to Pressly in Boston earlier this year). They brought him in to give him 3 days off and have him fully rested in case he has to pitch 3 straight Tue-Thu. Same with Abreu. Their regular season is over.
  3. Not bad for not making the team until the last day of spring training not gonna lie, as he got in to the 5th, was really hoping he was going to bookend the season with no-no’s.
  4. Miami = ACC meal ticket. Say what you will, no way that wasn’t getting overturned
  5. I mean after Tuesday, we’re just killing time until next Tuesday. is there anything to watch for this weekend? Any individual or team accomplishments /milestones to watch for (other than Scraps o/u wins bet)?
  6. Haha i saw they were starting a couple of hours ago and thought “man I’m sure those guys are just ready to get through Sunday.” 202 total pitches. Nick Martinez complete game loss on 95 pitches
  7. A guy doing something no one has ever done before would have been a contest.
  8. Helene gonna ring herself out over Bowling Green, Kentucky. Had she kept moving a few hundred miles NE, you’d be all set.
  9. More like 10am Tuesday… I doubt they say anything until rosters are due for the wild card round which will be Tuesday morning
  10. This would have been a helluva MVP vote had Shohei done all of this in the AL this year:
  11. It’s embarrassing they’ve only had one game to try….but they got all of 18 innings in that 1 game!
  12. Found an article from 2021 about roof closed vs open and through 2019, it was 69% closed, 22% open, 9% opened mid game those open %s have to have gone down considerably. I feel like we get 1 or 2 games a season at most since Covid with the roof open in the regular season
  13. Not great, Bob indeed. you'd think these guys would be smarter than a surly poster. twins hold tiebreaker over both Royals and Tigers. this “need to be first” has gotten a little out of hand.
  14. Yeah, the amount of fuckery being played by all of these teams (KC, DET, CWS, BAL) this weekend will be interesting. I haven’t checked the rotations. Clearly, none of the top 3 starters will be going after tomorrow. I’m sure KC and Det will be trying to get that last win tomorrow and completely shutting it down.
  15. Royals and tigers tied going to the weekend. Royals own the tiebreaker. But sporting a 3-7 L10 and have the harder matchup (@ATL who is fighting for their playoff lives) Tigers, sporting a 9-1 L10, are facing the worst team in this history of baseball.
  16. Twins elimination # down to 1. have to sweep the O’s at home and have royals (@ ATL) or tigers (vs CWS) get swept
  17. Passan: “history will sneer” gtfo. Yeah everyone is still sneering at: Perini Veeck/Miles Johnson O’Malley Stoneham Griffith Bartholomay Finley Selig Short MLB (I mean they are at selig but for other reasons… and O’Malley ( "You're in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and O'Malley, and you have a gun but only two bullets. What do you do? …shoot O’Malley. Twice.”) but the rest? Gimme a break.
  18. I was in high school when all that was happening so didn’t pay much attention or remember any of the details other than the reports Houston was seriously on the verge of losing the team. I get the idea of wanting to cut your losses, but what an idiot he would have been to dump the team then. I can’t imagine values of MLB franchises being any lower than the year or two after the longest strike in the history of the sport. In hindsight he didn’t make out all that much better selling when he did. selling for $150M in ‘95 vs $680M in 2011 = 9.9% CAGR. Investing that $150M in the S&P 500 in 1995 would have yielded $570M in 2011, an 8.2% return
  19. And 2nd best was buying it from McMullen
  20. Bang-enabled or not…but thank you for your career year in ‘17. That play and game 2 WS are 1 and 1a for postseason moments. 1 and 1a regular season I’ll go with:
