Pirates and Royals in the playoffs would be crazy.

Well, I guess it's official.
Still going to lose that first game, though. I haven't seen a professional sports team I like advance in a round of the playoffs since 1995, when I was 9. It's a Vastradamas *stamp sound* guarantee.

I'd be so fucking stoked for a Pirates/Royals WS.
MLB would absolutely hate that though, haha.
Yeah, if its not a David vs Goliath or Goliath vs Goliath matchup then the average person would lose interest. I'd personally love to see it happen though.

You wait until the final week of the season to stick your chest out?
Why so salty?
I see that you haven't met DP.

What are you talking about? NFL gaf is the one that's insular.

Nope.
Had him by a fraction of a second.
M's don't win extra inning games ... so lets just make this quick so I can go to sleep. Dunno why I watch this shit though.

I cannot believe we got away with that inning.
And you got offended when I called you salty.

Yes. Soon to end.
3.5 games back ... 2 teams in front. What 5 games left of the season after this one ... with Texas and Cleveland winning tonight.
Chances are pretty slim ... but still there. 1.5% according to baseball prospectus.

Eh. If the Indians weren't on fire, it would really be happening. But everything the Royals do gets evened out by the Indians.

Royals gonna lose, aren't they?
Maybe. If the Mariners don't swing at all.
edit : See. They are swinging at shitty pitches. Like they always do. Should have walked in a run by now.

that was a nice swing
It's not groups that are super insular, it's individuals. Like yourself. Good luck in the playoffs!
Wow. I can't believe that happened. Still in it! 1% is better than no %.
No kidding. Some of those calls on PitchFX for the last couple innings made me say "Uhmmm...what?".
It looked equally trashy for both teams at least.

Pretty funny that BOTH Central divisions are the only ones not clinched yet. Very good divisions.

After last night's loss the Detroit Tigers only need to get 35 strikeouts in their final 5 games to break the all-time team strikeout record for a pitching staff. The old mark was set by the Cubs back in the Mark Prior / Kerry Wood days.
Bitch, please.
What push? They arent really moving
Right now 3 games back (156 games)
Sept 17th 3.5 games back
Sept 10 3 games back
Sept 1st 5.5 games back (136 games)
So basically in the course of September and currently 20 games they have gained 2.5 games on WC2 and the season has basically nothing left and they are still 3 out

So Sandy said Matt Harvey needs to pitch in the Arizona Fall League or perhaps in a Winter League in order to prove he doesnt need Tommy John. Never really heard of sumthing like this happening, like Gary said in the telecast but make some sense. Game action different from bullpen sessions.

He really should think about hanging it up. Guy had a great career no reason to hang on when it is clearly over.
first I have heard of this:

also player quotes on the new system from fangraphs

Of course Brendan Ryan would be in favor of it. Dude should have won a couple of gold gloves.

Yeah, they've had a hell of a run, especially since the ASB in which time they've gone 40-24, but unfortunately so have the Indians. I could easily see the Royals not losing again this year, but either the Rays, the Rangers or the Tribe would need to fumble big in the next few days for it to matter.
BUT... it matters anyway because even if they don't sneak in, this has been an AMAZING ride. And we sold out the K for the final two home games! That's crazy. This is a baseball city, and any hint of progress stirs it from its slumber.

A three-way tie is highly unlikely since the Reds and Pirates finish the season against each other.

I'm just excited to see one division have 3 post season representatives for the first time in MLB history. Only took 2 seasons of the double wildcard to make it happen!

Manny Machado has only a torn MCL. ACL is fine. He'll be ready for spring training.
Huge sigh of relief for O's fans.
