Dodged a Bauellet

Hopefully he works out better than Dickey did, although Matz was never my favourite pitcher. Semien is a decent get.

Damn, was about to get on the Jays hype train again

Completely agree, I'd rather see rules that sped up the batter/pitcher from arsing around than rules that mess with the tactics of the game (that includes the 3 batters minimum rule, hate it).

True, but that's the fun in it, to me. Forces the manager to make nuanced decisions instead of just plowing through the lineup. But I know, I know, "baseball is too slow and boring for the kidz".

That's just a horrendous idea imo I hate, hate hate hate, HATE the DH rule. But it's better than that suggestion.

Sucks to be a Cleveland fan right now. No name, no squad.

Yeah wtf, it's either offensive or it isn't. Why wait a year?

Washington Baseball Team?

Yeah with a year out I doubt his standards will be at $24m worth unless he practices every day.

News to me. Also, fuck Cano. Last thing we needed right now.

Oh I wonder who we will install instead then. All the regular names seem to be in positions I think?

Hand should not be unemployed, wtf 😕 The Cash/Snell situation is an interesting one, those tactics got the Rays to the game but I think it was a nonsensical decision on the day! What happened with Turner?

Still holding out hope. Every time I've put in a prediction its went wrong so just gonna sit back and watch this one. Hoping there is a game 7 as I can't stay up late to watch game 6 live

This WS has been epic. Every swing feels like it could be a homer. That finish last night was classic. If Arozarena doesn't stumble, does the catcher tag him out instead of throwing the ball away?

Dodgers just hit two bombs. Could they please just fuck off already. Kershaw had his implosion, it's destiny that they die now and let us have Braves vs Rays. I'm not even going to acknowledge the AL Game 7.

Turns out my Division Series predictions were hot garbage. Roll on the CS (featuring Rays hopefully!)

Dodgers are postseason choke artists. I expected them to win the first game, but Clayton will throw it away tonight then the real fun and games begins....

Hoping for Rays v A's and expecting Padres v Braves. As ever, the NL is infinitely more exciting than the AL. Sorry to see the Blue Jays go

For real haha I'm hoping they go 1-0 up in the WC to choke it 1-2 Giolito nearly had a perfect game last night... until my friend pointed it out on Facebook. It literally died on the next pitch. I'm feeling a lot of 7+ K pitching this WC series and low scoring games. Except the bastarding Yankees apparently.

AL Confirmed Rays, Yankees, Blue Jays, Twins, Indians, White Sox, Athletics, Astros NL Confirmed Braves, Marlins, Cubs, Reds, Dodgers, Padres NL Possible Phillies (28-30), Mets (26-31), Cards (29-27), Brewers (28-30), Giants (29-29) Mets are decidedly the underdogs from that group

Brewers currently beating the Cards

So now in the AL it's Astros (29-28), Angels (26-31) and Mariners (25-31) left, but Astros will cinch with one win. Mets won... but so did Marlins. As basically the same picture there. Cards drew blood against the Brewers so that is looking more likely to be the Cards there, but interestingly the Rockies bested the Giants to keep their (slim) hopes alive.

Result! Genuinely excited hope they win it all.

It's really between the Jays, LAA and the Mariners for the last spot.* Jays 29-27 with four to play Angels 27-31 with three to play Mariners 26-31 with four to play So yeah, Jays would have to choke all four games (including 3 against Orioles) and Angels win all three (against the Dodgers!) and/or Mariners win all four (against Oakland! inc. a double-header). Yeah, I think they've got it. * Houston technically haven't qualified yet, and Baltimore/KC technically haven't been eliminated yet, but... yeah) Over in the NL, it's a bit more complicated. Always is. NL is the better league after all NLE 2nd Place: Miami 28-28 Phillies 28-29 Mets 25-31 Mets would need to win at least 3, ideally 4, against the Nationals. Do-able. Marlins have Braves then 3 against the Yankees. Probably the only time I'll cheer the Yankees. Phillies have a day off then 3 against the Rays. So yeah, all to play for there. NLC 2nd Place: Cards 27-26 all 5 against the Brewers inc. a double-header Reds 29-28 softest schedule on paper with the day off and three games, but those are against the Twins Brewers 27-28 again all against the Cards, but with two more losses on their ledger they need to give the series them all Can't really rule any of them out either. Then of those six, two will go forward as 2nd place but four will remain in the fight for the two extra spots, fighting along with them are: Giants 28-27; drawing 4-4 with Rockies right now, then a double-header against Padres tomorrow plus two more Padres games afterwards and again, technically Rockies 24-31; drawing 4-4 with Giants, they would NEED to win that plus double against Diamondbacks tomorrow and two more Arizona games afterwards - If they win ALL five games they'll be looking for everyone else to lose really Exciting stuff.
