I'm sure there are other games but somebody should remind Williams about this game. Tie game against the Mets and the closer doesn't pitch in the 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th innings.

That's why he used Papelbon. He's learning. It's like he just learned to never leave your wingman.

Hasn't the narrative on Harper for most of his career been basically, "this guy needs to scale it back a bit before he kills himself running into a wall or imploding on the basepaths?" And Puffyface Magoo is going to chew him out for not running out a pop-up?

Meatball manager rule book says you can't get a save at home tied after the 8th, so it's ok to pitch your closer right away. On the road you wait until you have a lead to save or you lose with your worst pitcher on the mound

Stupid Cardinals can't even lose properly. Thanks for letting KRod get a cheap one-out save with a four run lead you drunken dickbags.

 

Fantasy championship?

 

Yeah. Semis. That save ended up not mattering because Ziegler got one later but it could have cost me.

 

I was tied 6-6 in categories and the other guy had the tiebreaker because he won both regular season matchups. I ended up tying him in steals when Polanco stole second in the seventh inning tonight which gave me a 6-5 win.

Not gonna happen but Giants are 6 games behind the Dodgers with 7 to play. But the next 4 games for both teams are against each other in SF. Would make things super interesting if the Giants swept. Any Dodger win clinches the division. Yes I know unlikely but I'll be cheering for the Giants this week to do the impossible

Adam Wainwright has officially been cleared to return.

 

I'm assuming there is not time to stretch him out to start and will be out of the pen correct?

Yup. He'll be pitching out the pen. Cardinals beat writer said he may be used as early as Wednesday

I get that Wainwright is hyper-competitive but it seems a bit unnecessary to bring him back this year. Rushing back to throw a handful of innings out of the pen seems to pale in comparison to making sure that he's as healthy as he can be for the rest of his deal(3/58).

It would be a real shame to see him reinjure himself giving up the winning runs to the Cubs in the last game of the NLDS.

The Pirates have had 11 baserunners and 0 runs through 6 innings

Dodgers lose to the Giants in 12 innings tonight. Mattingly used 7 relief pitchers, 6 of which were in the 9th inning or later. Not one of them was Kenley Jansen, who hasn't pitched since Thursday.

The Astros fell out of the wild card lead tonight, and they are tied with the Twins in the loss column too.
