Also, lulz at the called strike 3 after the foul popup

Hell of a time for Cleveland to lose two in a row to the White Sox

[Pato del Muerto 52600]

In a game between two teams already eliminated and so will have zero bearing on the playoff races, who cares if a team does what Texas did?

Arlington should hang a banner to commemorate such an amazing accomplishment.

This.
who gives a shit. If the Red Sox batter had hit a bomb on the next pitch (which is more apt to happen the way the Rangers are( we all laugh and say “stupid Arlington.”
The bigger question is why Minor is throwing 126 pitches in a game between two teams already eliminated and so will have zero bearing on the playoff races, but Rangers, you do you.

[Pato del Muerto 52600]

I’m guessing because it’s his last start for 6 months so stressing his arm wasn’t seen as a risk. 

I’d think people would have more issues with the cubs sitting guys this last series and impacting the nl central race.

Literally no one who's not full-blooded aggy would say that.

You’ve never struck me as one of the morons that talk like this about a fake rivalry. 

There is in fact a thread for this bullshit.

Not a great deal of excitement this weekend so I'm just following who winds up with the most homers as a team. It was 301-299 Twins coming in, but the Yanks have hit 5 in their home away from home in Arlington and the Twins have two against the Royals so far. We might see another 10 from each team this weekend. 

Still can't believe that even with a juiced ball that we are seeing two teams go over 300. This is video game stuff.

As is Tampa. 

[WBT 20669]

We're guaranteed 2 new teams in the AL playoffs after the same 4 repeated in 2017 and 2018.

[spystud13 2371]

Preseason odds of TB/Oak in the WC game couldn’t have been high. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

So it's a "You can call me A's, or you can call me Rays, but you don't have to call me Johnson" wildcard game.

Now it's time to pull for the Giants.

I enjoy chaos when my team is not involved in it, so I’m all for a Cards/Crew game 163 in St. Louis.

Dodgers won today, so it would be nice for us to get a win tonight. We have something to play for 

[UpperWestside 6190]

Alonso got his 53rd to break the rookie record. Might be the highlight of his entire career in Flushing. 

[WBT 20669]

Hader gives up a tying homer with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth.  Meanwhile the Cards are batting down 2 in the bottom of the 9th.

[WBT 20669]

Cubs win but Trevor Story walks it off in the bottom of the 10th.  So close to being set up for game 163 but the Cards stay a game up.

[Guadaloopy 11014]

So whoever comes out of the NL Central gets a single elimination game against Scherzer in DC.   Good luck with that.   

[kevwun 15897]

Verlander got his 300th and 3,000th strikeout in the same game.  He finished the year with the 2nd best season WHIP for a starter in the modern era and 5th all time.

I don’t know why the Brewers don’t throw this game already. Just intentionally walk a guy and balk three times.

Watch the Royals hire Ausmus.  He acts dumb as a rock, but he's from the Ivy League and he's handsome, so he's A Good Baseball Man (tm).

he's an angel for life, still packs an angels cap on cubs road trips  

[Scraps 13577]

I just think it hilarious that the Angels let cry baby sit around and be mediocre for the majority of the past decade, but boot Ausmus after 1 year.  

I get that the main reason they did this is because they want Maddon, but still funny as hell to me.  

[Beau Vine 54430]

[Pato del Muerto 52600]

Hardly seems worth it for one hit saved every 3-5 games. 

More K and less BIP lessens the impact of fielding position as well.

I'm thinking that is why they pulled the trigger on Ausmus.  Feeling they need to strike quick with Maddon or he's gone.

But seriously, collectively as a league, holy hell thats a lot of work to save a net 32 hits over a full season

God I hope so.  Ausmus was a stupid hire at the time.  Motherfucker had a losing record.   We've got a once-in-a-lifetime talent in Anaheim. It would be nice to win a few games.

It was strange that they hired him to begin with.  He's basically a 20 year younger version of scioscia.
