Reread it sober in the morning. Literally one guy had a bad comment - the one you mentioned - and factually it's a true statement. A couple people simply said that Adbert stunk tonight or didn't have it (can't argue there). Tonight was like a 2 on a 1-10 scale of overreactions.

Too drunk to understand why people might be upset that the team blew a ninth inning lead? Don’t be dense. I mean, sure. Big picture it’s good to split. But circumstances change and we had a game in the bank and were two outs from a second win. It’s not that hard to understand.
-
That’s an annoying loss.
-
Would definitely be different under the old format. But the Cental winner and WC1 both get a home series and there doesn’t seem to be a difference in playing LA or Atl if you advance.
-
I posted this the other day but any result other than Mil winning 2 of 3 is okay for us, right? Like even Milwaukee sweeping and we can close ground on WC1 and a home series.
-
That was some very welcome insurance to save the pen a bit.
-
Huge GIDP.
-
Yep. Do what you need to do to get the 1.
-
Marlins weren't just 9.5 games ahead of the Cubs but they had the second best record in the NL at the ASB. Arizona was 9 up on the Cubs too. They were also tied with the Dodgers for 1st in the NL West. Now they're, well, not close to being tied for 1st place.

Let’s see where Wicks is at by the end of the year. I know we’re all hopeful but it’s been one start in the majors. Wicks has never thrown 100 innings in a full season. Assad has topped out at 116 (in 2019) threw 108 last year and is at 79 this year. There’s no way those two guys are pitching a full season as starters next year. If Kyle keeps this up for another month you 100% pick up that option.
-
Worst case scenario is probably Brewers winning 2 of 3 right? At least if the Brewers sweep, it helps us in terms of playing the WC round at home. Obviously we want the division so Philly winning the series is ideal.
-
Fly it!
-
Got to take the lead here.
-
Yeah that’s a weird one for sure.
-
horsefeathers hell.
-
Great start. Now pile on.
-
When the Mariners tied for first place the other day it was the first time they'd been in first place post ASB since 2003.
-
With that Milwaukee series there’s a decent chance that series either: A. Only matters in terms of the division/WC placement and both teams are in the playoffs, in the scenario where both teams continue to play well B. Only matters to one team (probably the Cubs since we’re 4 back and would need an 8 game turnaround) since the other would have the division locked up and whoever wins the division isn’t catching LA or Atl. So that last week isn’t nearly as daunting as it seems.
-
Yeah, that definitely matters. I doubt the Braves will rest everyone but they probably won't throw their full lineup all three games, extend their starting pitchers to 100 pitches or throw their best pen guys each night.
-
WTF is this wizardry? Like how do you even think to make that pass?
-
Yeah, we're starting to see a bit of a gap open. It's not much but it's there. Giants are 4-10 in their tough stretch, which wouldn't be the end of the world except they lost 4 of 5 to the Angels and A's right before it. Plus they play the Reds next week. Miami's now lost 8 of 10 and are at .500. If the Reds lose tonight they'll be 2 back.
-
Regarding the Seiya play, if he lets it go and it bounces out of play, is it automatic the runner that was on first stays at 3rd or can they allow him to score if they think it’s clear he would? I can’t remember how the rule is. And if so, is that why they ruled he could score or did they change their call?
-
I’ve seen enough of Wesneski for the day.
