  1. They gonna play it even if it’s just for seeding? if that’s all that’s left, gotta think you’re going to see two straight games of nothing but bench players to avoid having to fly cross country to play in SD the next day (vs MKE)
  2. Hader is fine. (Sure for 5/$95 you want more than fine… And I will allow when he comes in, I do feel some of the same I did for Wagner back in the day. Amazing stuff but fastball could flatten out and if he couldn’t spot the offspeed, it gets dicey. but without looking around the league, who who else is in a better position than us in the 9th? cleveland? Yeah Clase’s stuff and numbers are ridiculous but he has only one fewer blown save that Hader in the year.
  3. Late Sunday or early Monday likely
  4. Thats exactly what I thought when they showed that segment
  5. Not sold yet on KC as the 6. They hold the tiebreaker. I believe Hinch has already said they are going to shut it down once they clinch. i know it’s the white sox, and i know the Braves are fighting for a spot but i could see the royals still managing to tie and get the 5.
  6. Of he’s healthy they aren’t going to risk putting him in the OF and reinjuring it. They’ll take the chance running the bases but not in the OF
  7. help me process what no Yordan in the field in the playoffs means because I can’t imagine he does anything other than DH if we’re lucky to get that. that first base defense will be even more white knuckling than it already is? Singleton is pretty much relegated to PH duty? caratini at 1B when Diaz catches and vice versa with the occasional Dezenzo start. Meyers in CF just about every game with the occasional Dubon start. Heyward in left and we hope he finds the fountain of youth and/or that Chas rises from the dead and miraculously finds 2022 postseason form?
  8. Just came to post how sweet the champagne had to taste for Benetti tonight
  9. I hope you went Walter on them.
  10. It does. But if he gets rusty after 3 days off, we have bigger issues. So far this year, he’s been fine with that much of a break. He’s had 13 appearances this season after 3 or more days rest and a 2.40 ERA in those appearances…but most of that ERA comes from early in the year when he was not good. Since June 14, he’s had 8 appearances on 3 or more days rest and has only given up 1 run ( a 9th inning home run against the D-Backs on that 9/8 Sunday night game that JV shit the bed and we were down 11-5 and he was only in because he hadn’t pitched in 8 days).
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Rutgers acting like it’s 2006.
  15. Miami = ACC meal ticket. Say what you will, no way that wasn’t getting overturned
  16. 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)?
  17. 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
  18. A guy doing something no one has ever done before would have been a contest.
  19. Helene gonna ring herself out over Bowling Green, Kentucky. Had she kept moving a few hundred miles NE, you’d be all set.
  20. More like 10am Tuesday… I doubt they say anything until rosters are due for the wild card round which will be Tuesday morning
  21. This would have been a helluva MVP vote had Shohei done all of this in the AL this year:
  22. I really hope this isn’t fake news
  23. It’s embarrassing they’ve only had one game to try….but they got all of 18 innings in that 1 game!
  24. 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
  25. Roof needs to be open more
