GDT: All things Baseball

[Navin R Slavin]

I doubt you'd see that since even League playoffs are only best of 5s. Heck, even when the Triple-A National Championship was the Triple-A World Series it was a best of 5 series (after it stopped being a round robin tournament between the champions of the 3 US-based Triple-A leagues after the American Association folded and its teams absorbed by the IL and PCL). I think part of the problem is that the MLB parents don't want to prolong it so that they can finish calling up guys from their respective Triple-A team's rosters who're on the 40-man roster to help their playoff pushes or just to see how the guys have progressed over the year.

You are, of course, exactly right.

And still: no1curr.

I'm watching and the production value is awful. They've put up the wrong team graphic for batters several times. Bulls down 3-1. Yarbrough went 1 1/3 innings and Durham's gone throuhg 3 pitchers. Memphis now on their 2nd pitcher.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Yeah, I'm watching. Meh. Go Bulls?

 

[garnetpalmetto]

5-3 Durham after Kean Wong (Kolton's little brother) hits a grand slam, leaving him a triple away from the cycle.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

WELL THAT JUST GOT INTERESTING

grand salami!

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Bulls are AAA champions.

Still in AAA next year.

Impressive... a rare pro national championship for the Carolinas.

Take notes Canes/Panthers/Hornets

You could of taken out the word "pro" to include your Tar Heels.

But congrats to the Bulls! Well deserved. They bring a lot of fun to the city of Durham.

 

[CandyCanes]

Also right fielder Justin Williams of the Durham Bulls just won a championship.

 

[HisIceness]

So Williams scored a goal tonight and won a Triple-A Baseball championship? Can he also play tight end for the Panthers?

I don't think so. But he does supposedly play cornerback for Michigan State right now.

I almost left it out, but Duke and UNC have won 3 basketball titles in the 2010s. So I couldn't say "rare" unless I said "pro"

Rare championships won without violating NCAA by-laws .

 

[HisIceness]

The Red Sox and the Yankees both clinched playoff spots. Yuck.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

Who won the world series this year?

 

[DaveG]

The Montreal Expos.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I used to love going to go the Expos games at Olympic Stadium when I lived not too far from Montreal many years back. Andre Dawson, who was with the Cubs at the time, made one of the most incredible throws I have ever seen, still to this day. From deep right field an absolute rope to home plate without a bounce and right where the catcher needed it to be.

 

[HisIceness]

Well I'm no Yankee fan, but Aaron Judge is a treat to watch.

 

[HisIceness]

Not looking good for the Cubs. No repeat this season

 

[RodTheBawd]

I don't want to talk about it.

No worries Rod. The next 108 years will go by faster than you think.
