The stupid stuff you're pulling for.....

[davell]

Jake got his 20 wins and a sub 2 ERA, so that's done.

 

I obviously want KB and Rizzo to get to 100 RBI's. Addy to finish with a .700+ OPS. Starlin with a .300 OBP and 1 WAR. Javy to get another BB or 2 without K'ing at all. Anybody got anything else?

the only stupid thing i'm pulling for at this point is the crazy tiebreaker scenario in the AL

 

is that still in play at all?

All that's left is a 2 way tie, Minnesota just got eliminated with their loss a few minutes ago. The Rangers and Astros can tie for the division and second wild card, or the Astros and Angels can tie for the 2nd wild card.

 

Actually, I guess the Yankees could technically lose out and make a 3 way tie with the Rangers and Astros, so there's something for anyone wanting mayhem. That requires Texas blowing this lead in the remaining 2 outs and losing tomorrow, the Yankees losing out, and the Astros winning out.

Nope. Only tie breaking scenario left is Astros and Angels tie (assuming Texas finishes this one off but it's looking shaky)

 

The only way that happens is if the Astros lose their last 2 and Angels beat the Rangers tomorrow

so how would that work out? I know the Yankees wouldn't play any tiebreaking games. Do the one game playoffs still count as regular season games? If so then the Yankees would already clinch home field because the Astros Rangers loser would be 0.5 behind

I believe Houston and Texas would play a playoff game to decide the division, and then they'd use head to head record of Yankees v. the loser to determine where the Wild Card game is.

 

EDIT: The Yankees lose both head to head matchups so the loser of the playoff game would host the wild card game. Also the Angels just tied the Rangers in the 9th.

[Guest]

I'm pulling for Bryant to set a record for playoff home runs.

 

And then Rizzo to top him.

Crazy al tie break could f with NL wild card game. Don't cheer for that.

Why would it mess with the NL game?

Presumably because they don't want the AL and NL wildcard games on the same night?

[Guest]

addison russell to become the youngest player since andruw jones (actually, maybe miggy?) to homer in a world series game

Becoming the first team to go 12-0 in the playoffs.

For the following people to hit some dongs this weekend:

Arenado, Joey Bats, KB, Brandon Belt, Kole Calhoun, Jorge, and Carlos Santana so I can win the dong derby we have going on at work. I'm trailing by 1 right now, and there's a ton of cash riding on it. Like $10.

I heard it was possible for nl game to be moved to afternoon depending on how al shakes out, i.e If they had to play al game in Wednesday as well.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Afternoon would be awesome.

[bukie]

I'm pulling for Starlin to get to 1000 career hits this year.

[Guest]

Afternoon would be awesome.

 

no. no, it would not,

 

that said, i may have to take a halfday or something thursday.

 

if we win i'm going nuts after and if we lose i probably will have gone nuts during the game depending on how awful things went.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

My son turns 16 on Wednesday so I'm off work and won't give a [expletive] what time they play.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

How about a sub-4 ERA for Kyle Hendricks?

Nice call.

for rizzo to finish with an ops of .900 or better. i want to one day be able to say he's had like 8 straight season with an ops above .900 or something like that. .899 would always annoy me.

[Gingerballs Lives]

Starlin .270 or better BA (utterly unbelievable 2 months ago)

Fowler and Coglan .250 or better.

Rizzo and Bryant 100 rbis obvs.

 

Stupid stuff for stats that don't matter.

Ditto for me except without the son.
