SALVY THE SAVIOR!

Winning the division vs. staying in 2nd place is basically choosing between playing the easier opponent (Rangers) in the divisional over playing the harder opponent in the divisional (Yankees/Astros) and having home field advantage in the ALCS.

I think both options are pretty close tbqh.

Spoiler

Yes, the Astros are a better team than the Rangers

This was true a week ago. Now? Not so much

 

[bonesmccoy]

Thanks, Mest. Ever since I was 8 and chose a Mets hat, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for you guys.

What did Next Awesome New and Young Manager Brad Ausmus do?

I'd rather they play the Yankees tbh. that series will be epic.

don't care about who's the supposedly weaker opponent, best of 5 series is a total crap shoot anyway

 

[ShaneB]

Go Tigers!

 

[kris.]

Boo Tigers, go Salvy!

 

[Loco4Coco]

Man, if only the Marlin's catcher just held on to the ball...

 

[NameGenerated]

Nats win

 

[detectiveconan1]

Welp when you give up like 5 wild pitches it is hard to win. The division is over anyway.

 

[The Elite]

Missed the games tonight. Everything went Jays.

 

[Windu]

Phillies suck, can't do anything right.

 

[rinse82]

You can do it Miggy

 

[JDeluis]

Is Howie back in the lineup tonight? Just curious

A little late due to the Jays/mets circle jerk in this thread, but he should be in the lineup tomorrow. They want to slowly transition him back into the rotation. One day off and one day on.

I thought the Royals/Tigers game had ended. Glad to see that Detroit still has a chance to take it.

Not only do I want KC to lose for obvious reasons, but I lost a lot of respect for them during that brawl at Rogers Centre, especially after the pitcher's antics.

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

FUCKING NESHEK

FUCKING VALENCIA

WHY COULDN'T YOU KEEP HIS ASS, BLUE JAYS?

There was no fight. Just a bunch of yelling. But yeah. Fuck the Royals.

Your team is gonna play The Yanquis in a one playoff game and you're gonna like it.

If they keep losing they ain't playin' for shit.

Kansas delaying the inevitable.

Tigers grounds crew taking their sweet time. Love it.

World's slowest grounds crew.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

How was there clear evidence to overturn?

 

[DopeyFish]

loooool

 

[Meier]

Nice decision Ausmus. I'm in the playoffs and needed that victory from Verlander. Fucker.

 

[User 479360]

If the Blue Jays take four starters, eight relievers and 13 position players into the playoffs, who would you pick for the bench? Smoak, Navarro and Pennington are no-brainers, right? Who would be the fourth? Colabello?

Ideally you'd want a back-up outfielder, but there aren't great options there unless I'm missing something.

(The number splits are based on what they were talking about on Fan 590 last night. I believe they mentioned those exact numbers.)

 

[CygnusXS]

Pathetic showing by the Braves tonight. What are they even playing for?

 

[Windu]

Yeah...Matt Williams is gone this offseason.

You can't leave out Colabello with his great bat.

As long as they don't take Kawasaki.

Poor Matty. Love the dude but man he ran that team into the ground lol

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

awww look at the cute loser fanbases commiserating with each other.

Pair of ex Blue Jays on base for Detroit. All according to keikaku.

I guess I have to join the Jay/Mets lovefest. I picked up a cheap Mets jersey at a yard sale once. It's a good looking jersey.

Kc and Detroit have ruined my chances of watching Jays in 30 tonight.

 

[DopeyFish]

yess detroit

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Joe Maddon is fucking amazing.

This is amazing lol.

 

[JDHarbs]

Holland struggling once again. This is hard to watch after the year he had last year.

 

[User 479360]

Well, they threw that one away

Smoak's already part of the lineup, so he's not part of the extra four. The four are in all likelihood Navarro, Pennington, Colabello and Carrera. I'd prefer if Pompey was there, but that ain't happening unfortunately.

Yeah, I forgot he's considered part of the main line-up now. My bad.

Those four sound very likely, though. I'd be okay with them.

You can't leave out Colabello with his great bat.

As long as they don't take Kawasaki.

Agreed.

 

[Dominican Power]

Harold, shut the fuck up.

 

[bronkonagurski]

Joe Maddon is fucking amazing.

Yessir!

 

[rinse82]

If Tulo is out, they just might have to take Kawasaki. Need an infielder on the bench

 

[zroid]

Marcus Stroman's dad is a freaking monster

holy shit

 

[User 479360]

Wow, the difference in size between them is insane.

If Tulo is out, they just might have to take Kawasaki. Need an infielder on the bench

Tulo won't be out. He won't.

 

[Meier]

Joe Maddon is fucking amazing.

Still so bummed the Dodgers didn't get him. 😭😭😭😭

 

[zroid]

I'm just glad Maddon is gone from the ALE

fuck him

 

[Meier]

Still can't believe we waited so long to call up Seager. Not that it really mattered in the end but WTF man!
