FTFY

 

Fair enough.

 

hey, still a chance. only two games out with six to go, and the teams they're chasing are playing each other the next three. probably have to win at least 5 of the last 6 but it's not unthinkable.

 

If we win tonight we're Going to be celebrating a division title in New York in front of our good friends, the Yankee fans. Hey VIN!

 

Two games back with 4 to go, but the Orioles are on a 3 game win streak. However, they do have 3 games against the Blue Jays so there is a chance.

 

are we going to argue about how many games are left? it's six including tonight, you can look it up even.

 

Hmm, I was looking at the ESPN schedule, maybe I misread it

 

yeah, the m's have two games left with houston then four with the a's starting thursday.

 

Tebow time!

First pitch while at bat in the minors is…….a home run!

Keep in mind he is 29 years old. Some are saying he is likely the oldest player in the entire instructional league.

Sorry, my eyes were gouged out the moment I read 'Tebow'. What was that?

 

Tim Tebow, 2021 MLB MVP.

 

Thanks, Scruffy. That was an image I could have done without.

 

I'm not a Giants fan, but I'm being entertained every night by their ups and downs on the chances of making the playoffs.

 

it's ****ing killing me.

 

Hopefully the end of that "it's an even year! THEY HAVE TO DO WELL" bull crap.

 

Aww. Poor little Dodgers fan hating that phrase.

But yes, most likely the end by the way they're playing. lol

 

Solid showing by the umpires in St Louis as they ran off the field without giving the Reds a chance to challenge the final play of the game, which the umps clearly blew. Good job, everyone!

Robot umpires now!

Amazing.

 

Well, sure... might as well have a pitching machine throw to batters, so that the pace-of-game can improve, along without having to worry about pitch counts, etc.

 

Well that's absurd.

Would cut down on injuries though.

Amazing.

 

That was crazy. I can't imagine anything like that happening in the NFL or NBA.

 

hard to believe it's the same league where teams had to come back weeks later and re-play the end of a game because george brett had too much pine tar on his bat. seriously, 5 minutes after the game and it's too late to do anything about it?

 

And it didn't help that the umpires had to change their defense twice, first citing the 10/30 second intent/confirm rule that I'm pretty sure has never actually been enforced, not that they stuck around for the allotted time anyway. And then they claimed the final play has to be challenged immediately which makes it even weirder that they stuck around at all after the play. It's not like MLB executives aren't watching or don't have people watching these games where they could get someone on the phone immediately and get everyone back on the field.

Of course, this all could have been avoided if MLB had implemented a reasonable replay system instead of manager challenges.

Amazing.
