Good to know. I haven't looked that closely as of late. But a one-game playoff is nervewracking and far from ideal.
I don't know if my blood pressure can take this September stretch, let alone playoffs. I get too invested.
I'm not surprised. It's crazy to think of, and worrying for the future. He had a lot of promise.

I remember some years back when the NL was at its worst, ESPN was absolutely insufferable trumpeting the superiority of the AL. I swear they talked about it during every baseball segment.

May the Schwartz be with you
I dont think you have to worry...
Panik back huring again, Crawford hurt, all our backup catchers hurt, Pence hurt, Pagan is hurt every other week, pitchers dropping dead.
But hey Posey hasnt broken anything.

Gatdamn.
Guess again, Posey now out with ankle injury.
Don't fuck with odd year. It'll only end ugly.
Shut everyone down and play the minor league guys.

The way this race has been going I would not be shocked by a split. We can't seem to break out of that 1.5 game lead.
The Yankees have the Mets coming up soon while the Jays get the Braves. Hopefully the Mets stay hot and the Braves roll over for the Jays like they did for the Yanks.

Did you... did you actually make it through the whole game?
If so, I salute you. Cuz that game was so boring.

Absolutely. But right now both teams are technically safe and have wiggle room, hence the 'lack of urgency' some are noticing.
In the Jays case, I think you see that more with how the games against the Red Sox were managed from a personnel perspective.

Phils just fired Ruben. Surprised that they did it now.

Fucking Phillies fire Amaro before they play the Cubs. We'll probably get swept now.

Didnt the Phils already sweep the Cubs recently with Amaro as GM?
Honestly, I was playing DanganRonpa AE while checking up on mlb app. Then when I was finished, I watched from like the 5th on. Man, it was long as shit lol.
Surprised they fired RAJ now and not after the season ended.
Congrats Phillies fans! I'll miss all of the comedy Rube provided over the years

Dumbass Amaro should of sold on those guys while they still had value. Instead he took forever to trade them.

The local radio is saying that he went in and asked for an extension based on all the great moves he made this year, and that the team said no.

Finally. Possibly one of the worst GM's in recent history. I remember how he was reluctant on getting Roy Halladay. Why would I want the best pitcher in the AL? Fuck him.

What was Andre Ethier doing at the Mariner game?
Yeah, pretty much. It was all the earlier moves that sealed his fate. By the time all the decent moves he had made, it was already too late.

I'm pretty sure Phillies ownership forced Amaro to keep everyone until the new Comcast deal was done but he was terrible.

When you're the only person in the sport insisting analytics are meaningless nerd garbage.
You're probably not gonna win too much.

The bullpen usage pointed to that. Saving the good stuff for the yanks. The Jays will feel like they've failed if they don't take the East though. I think getting Price elevated expectations tremendously.

Hard to believe Strasburg is in the red. On the positive side, only two more years and $42M of Jayson Werth.
sounds like no beisbol 2nite
I think those projections assume full seasons. so with all the time they spent on the DL it's hard to meet any kind of projections

I think so, too, and the fan base will not be happy either. People expect them to win the division, and the bandwagoners who aren't as into baseball expect them to go all the way, which I hope they will.
That said, I'm regularly reminded of something I heard about how wild card teams have made it to the WS recently. Perhaps that time off is also a con to some.
Not good if the Jays have to use Price for a wildcard game. Then you're starting the divisional at a disadvantage.
If a team has 2 or 3 starters considered ace it's not so bad if they have to play the wildcard, but I think for the Jays it's a big deal. Winning the division and saving Price for game 1 is a big deal.

I think we should all stop for a moment and reflect upon the baseball cards of Greg Minton.
And finally, just look at the confidence:
And finally, just look at the confidence:
Don't want to short rest a starter. Bullpen start if necessary.
I'm still not convinced Stroman is the right choice for Saturday. I'd rather give him a Braves game. You want to win that Yankee game, so I still think a bullpen start is a safer choice and better chance to win it. With all the depth in the bullpen and an off day Monday, go ahead and use the bullpen.
I certainly hope Stroman impresses and it works out, but I'm not sold it's the right choice.

Doyers remaining schedule is a complete joke. The only teams they face >.500 are the Pirates and Giants (who may be sub-500 at the rate they are dropping games).
I can't see the Mets finishing ahead of them. Which means they will face Greinke and Kershaw at Chavez Latrine in the first round.

No captain tonight. Doubt Miller will have a bad outing anyway.
