Alex Cobb is throwing a no-hitter thru 8 innings. Reds down 5-0.
Dodgers up 7-1 over DBacks in bottom of 5th.
Florida lost earlier this evening.
Cubs pick up full game on FLA, and possibly CIN and AZ.
I don’t think the Braves are a shoe-in for the top seed. TheDodgers have been on a heater all month and have made up significant ground. LA is 21-4 since August 1 . Atlanta has gone a respectable 16-8, but that’s a 4,5 game swing. And they have a 4-game series IN LA this weekend.
I think the Braves ultimately get the 1 seed, but it may come down to the wire.
Okay, I know there’s been some changes/tweaks to the whole “September call-upss“ but I have a few questions.
- do the rosters still expand on September 1 ?
-I assume it’s just those on the 40.
-who realistically would be called? I know I heard PCA mentioned. I’d assume Mervis. What about pitchers? Kay? Estrada? Rucker?
-and somewhat related, any idea on Boxberger, Hughes, and Burdi?
Week 1 against GB - they’re the National late game on Fox. LAR/SEA is the other Late Fox game. So unless you’re in the LA or SEA viewing area , it should be on.
Week 3 at KC - same National late game on Fox up again DAL/AZ.
Week 5 is Thursday against WAS
Week 8 is Sun night at LAC
Week 10 is Thursday against CAR
Week 12 is MNF at MIN
So there’s most likely 6 games you should be able to watch from the comforts of your couch.
AZ bullpen very Cub-like this evening. Up 4-1, the pen gave up 1 in the 8th, 2 in the 9th, and so far, 3 in the 10th , and the Reds have a man on and still nobody out.
Looks like the Cubs will jump back into the #2 WC spot.
I know. I just mean they won today and there’s three left. Treat the weekend like a 3-game and win the series, meaning they win at least two of the three.
Agree with the first sentence. Don’t necessarily agree the last sentence.
Taylor is in the last year of his rookie deal. It doesn’t appear that Indy is seeking to trade him. So it’s safe to assume they prefer to keep him. At a minimum, JT would be franchised the next two season which WILL pay him like a top 5 RB in the league. JT understandably wants the assurances before the season starts.
I get why Indy is hesitant to jump right into an extension given JT’s injury history last season ultimately ending in off season ankle surgery. JT may not like it but those are the rules.
