If by some miracle the Indians make the playoffs, Chris Perez can not be on the post season roster.
I do this every game. I thought we were safe being up 5 so he didn't have to come in...

So glad we kept Motte instead of him.
I don't want to see him pitch again this season.

lol Indians. If we blow this game I can't see us making post season.

That's a lot scarier than it should have been. but Chris Perez...

It's insane the Indians have had to win 11 of their past 13 games just to stay in a one game lead of a wild card spot.
Give the Rays credit too, they forgot how to lose too. Although I could blame them for not sweeping the Rangers in that four game series.

The Rangers should have won 3 of 4 from the Rays but Ron Washington is an idiot who uses his closer in a 6-run game.

Hmm...that last bit sounds oddly familiar...

Hey how do they decide which team plays the winner of the wild card elimination game? Division leader with the best record?

The Dodgers are now officially the #3 seed in the NL and will start the NLDS on the road. If the Braves and Cardinals finish tied, the Braves are the #1 seed by virtue of beating the Cardinals 4-3 in the season series.

I was actually at the Twins and Indians game tonight, it was a lot of fun. Got pretty exciting there at the end.

If you were there with me, you would have seen me in full melt down mode. Fuck Chris Perez.

My vote is for Justin Masterson (maybe Joe Smith or Cody Allen). Tito would be out of his mind to let CP anywhere near the pitching mound the rest of the year. I'd leave him off of the postseason roster to boot.
And I nearly punched a hole through my TV in the 9th :/.

There's no way the Rays are losing another game this regular season. Have you seen the line-ups the Jays are running out there now? They're on third- and fourth-stringers in some cases. The whole opening day outfield is gone. Their catcher is having a historically bad season. Thanks to Mark Buerhle getting hurt yesterday, the only starter who went through the season without getting hurt is RA Dickey. They just had to sign Ryan Langerhans out of independent ball to be able to field a first baseman. I'd say the Rays are playing a triple-A team for the next few games, but that's being generous to most triple-A teams.

Pretty sure the Dodgers own the tiebreaker over the Cards and they can still tie if LA goes 3-0 while STL goes 0-3.
Mr. Enigma
Member
Yep, you're correct. I thought the Cardinals had the tiebreaker, but you're right. Dodgers have the season series 4-3.
Also, the Dodgers can still tie the Braves, but the Braves have the season series against the Dodgers 5-2.

Is there a difference between the wildcard #1 and wildcard #2? Say the Reds pass the Pirates record, does that make a difference? Homefield advantage for whichever team has the better record or what? I still haven't learned the wildcard rules since the 2nd wildcard was added.
Mr. Enigma
Member
WC game is played in the stadium with the better record.
Yes, wildcard #1 automatically gets home field. If there is a tie for that spot, then it comes down to the season record (between those two teams) to decide who gets home field.

Unbelievable stats on B.J. Upton's first year with the Braves:
-- His .184 batting average is the second-lowest in the entire league among those with a minimum of 400 plate appearances. The lowest? Why, that would be his teammate Dan Uggla, who is hitting .181.
-- He owns a .289 slugging percentage. For comparison, here's a list of players with higher slugging percentages: Ben Revere (.352), Juan Pierre (.307), and Adeiny Hecchavarria (.303).
-- Whenever a runner is standing on third base while he's at the plate, Upton is hitting an unfathomable .000. In those situations, he's 0-for-28 with 18 strikeouts.
-- Upton's line against left-handed pitching: .157/.227/.222.
-- With runners in scoring position, he's hitting a mind-boggling .108 (10-for-93 with an incredible 42 strikeouts).
-- Even more maddening, with runners in scoring position and two outs, Upton's hitting .074 (4-for-54 with 27 strikeouts)
-- Upton's hottest month of the year is typically September, so the Braves were hoping he'd finally show some signs of life. Much to their disappointment, in his first September with the Braves, he's hitting .106, including a current stretch where he's 1-for-36 with with 19 strikeouts.

The Braves were better off paying Bourne or waiting him out until his price came down. I don't know why they were so eager to sign B.J. It's like they never saw him play in Tampa.
Mr. Enigma

Fredi should win NL Manager of the Year by virtue of absolutely pillaging the NL East despite Dan Uggla and B.J. Upton totally shitting it up.
Dominican Power

Those two shouldn't even make the playoff roster.
Mr. Enigma

Agreed. Elliot Johnson has been a surprise with the bat since they plucked him off waivers from the Royals. Evan Gattis's bat is worth the defensive risk in LF and Heyward's proved he can be awesome in CF.
