So it's obvious who's winning the World Series this year...

Spoiler

Not the Cubs

The Giants. Cuz it's an even numbered year. And that spells bullshit.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Yep. Last time he pitched was on Sunday in a non save situation. He let a run up.

The next day there was a save situation, but he brought in Benoit because Osuna was unavailable.

Some of the things he does is just plain stupid.

I don't think he understands what a closer is.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

That Yanquis-Royals game is still going?

Yup.

 

[Velcro Fly]

My asshole was sure puckered in that inning, but Asshole comes through in the clutch.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Yup.

What's the ratio of Yankees fans to Royals fans?

Nice seats btw.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

I'd say about 1:5. And thanks!

 

[Line_HTX]

Nice vantage point you got there, Duane.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Put me out of my misery!

 

[Malo]

I have class at 9am. Someone end this game ffs

 

[Tragicomedy]

Hope KC scores two runs, or none at all. This is fine watching back in California, but not while I'm traveling in the central time zone.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Daigo comeback tonight!!!!! About time bats wake up.

 

[3N16MA]

Done.

 

[UND3RxOATH]

Astros are smelling that WC berth after all. A week ago I felt like we were all but done, but #baseball.

 

[3N16MA]

My MLB.TV was screwed up for the last 3 innings. Following online sucks ass with the delays.

 

[Malo]

Good win. All of a sudden we're two and half games back of the second wild card.

To believe or not believe?!

 

[3N16MA]

Believe.

20 games remaining against the O's, Red Sox, Jays.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Addison Russell would look much better in Kelly green, wedding gown white and Fort Knox gold.

Thanks for nothin billy.

 

[Friggz]

Good win. All of a sudden we're two and half games back of the second wild card.

To believe or not believe?!

just imagine if they werent 9-17 at one point.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Do it for Alex!

 

[Malo]

Believe.

Believe it is.

just imagine if they werent 9-17 at one point.

True, but I'm grateful that they did. We got to sell because of that bad start.

 

[17 Seconds]

the cubs only have to go 15-15 to win 100 games, and they're still 6 games under their pythag.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

So Walker is getting back surgery and will miss the rest of the season. I guess the Mets can play Dilson....oh wait.

I can't even complain if they stink it up now. The injury count this season is just ridiculous yet they are somehow still in it. Guess Cabrera can play second or maybe just stick Reyes there.

Flores been hitting lately, stick him in second

 

[Silver Arrows]

So somewhat offtopic, there apparently some new TV show about a girl pitching on the Padres.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Also, late breaking from last night, but nonetheless:

#breakingnews Angels OF Mike Trout reportedly involved in crash in Tustin. 1 serious injury. Trout was not hurt.

It is ludicrous that the Yankees are only 2.5 games behind the Orioles and also the Wild Card. The 2016 Yankees might be the best and most over-performing .500 team ever.

 

[Sanjuro]

It is ludicrous that the Yankees are only 2.5 games behind the Orioles and also the Wild Card. The 2016 Yankees might be the best and most over-performing .500 team ever.

After that Game 1 loss to KC I really did not expect them to win the next two games and I'm still not sure how they pulled it off.

I've been saying this for years. Your shit floats!

 

[Friggz]

It is ludicrous that the Yankees are only 2.5 games behind the Orioles and also the Wild Card. The 2016 Yankees might be the best and most over-performing .500 team ever.

this team is better than the 2013 and 2014 team.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Why did we send Devon Travis down? Hasn't he been playing well?

 

[Lexxism]

Why did we send Devon Travis down? Hasn't he been playing well?

#BlueJays re-sign Thole to MLB deal, option Travis to Bluefield, whose season ends tonight, so Travis returns Friday and everybody’s happy.

[CosmicQueso]

Yanks and Dodgers proving addition by subtraction.

 

[Choomp]

Flores been hitting lately, stick him in second

TJ Rivera may be up once Walker is placed on the DL, he hit pretty well when he was up, might get some time there too

 

[CygnusXS]

Only 4 games today, huh.

 

[Silver Arrows]

For those interested, the best baseball team site in all of SBNation (IMO) is doing an AMA at /r/Mariners all throughout today.

 

[Marz]

Well the Orioles have no starting pitching. You can only hit so many homeruns.

Red Sox and Blue Jays are both more complete teams than the Yankees and O's.

Perfect time to allow the sub to vent some frustration

 

[Bread]

Future GOAT Yoan Moncada is coming up? Maybe I'll see him in the Dieg on Tuesday!!!!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Day 1 of the Moncada Era

 

[Silver Arrows]

Red Sox and Blue Jays are both more complete teams than the Yankees and O's.

Indeed, but neither the Jays or Sox seem to want to put the gas down and take the division, so we have the wide open race that is is now.

If the Yankees make it past the WC game and then into the ALDS, I think they make a bit of noise and win a game, but chances are it's a sweep.

3 car accident. He was fine. Smh people were asking for autographs from him on the freeway..

 

[Choomp]

I'd like to see the CF/RF of De Aza and Conforto tonight. Before going into a series against the Nats + the Ureña guy throws a lot of fastballs and sinkers I think it'd be a good chance to get Conforto going

 

[Grover Cleveland]

The prospect of the Yanks beating the Sox in a one game wildcard playoff keeps me up at night, I must admit.

 

[JoseDFrog]

It'll be fun to see Moncada and Sanchez each go 4-4 with 4hrs each.

Oh, that's cool then. I thought something happened to him because it just said he was optioned and we signed Thole.

SoCal celeb culture!

Rangers vs over .500 teams: 52-27
Run differential: +76

Cubs vs over .500 teams: 36-26
Run differential: +47

The Rangers are getting lucky against good teams or something like that.

Their record against the Minnesota Twins however is hilariously awful

MIN 2 5 30 62 .286


edit more teams vs over .500 teams:

Indians 37-38 -11
Blue Jays 49-35 +86
Nats 37-33 +39

 

[CosmicQueso]

Atlanta just swept San Diego.

Oh, San Diego. Oh dear.

Run this again when the Mariners drop below .500

 

[BFIB]

Colds suck.

 

[Frozenprince]

Conforto is back with the team, I'v resigned myself to him being a bench bat who starts once a week while Jay Bruce continues to suck.

We've ruined the kids development.
