2018 MLB Regular Season Thread - Part 5

[BMOK33]

Wouldn’t be shocked if Cubs came back too. It’s beem their MO lately in most games when they win. This is where this stupid wildcard format is bad. Back in the old wildcard format you never bothered playing a game to break a division tie because you both were making the playoffs anyway. Now you have to play these extra games which penalizes both teams for technically “winning” their division after 162.

 

[JWK]

Probably will be a bullpen game since neither team has any of their good starters avaialable at all. Kershaw Hill and Freeland all can’t pitch tomorrow

Lol Rockies are starting their best pitcher

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Walked 6 more times than he k'd (107/101), and had a .417 obp (best in baseball).

Those are great but there shouldn't any excuses for this massive power outage considering the ballpark he plays in.

It would concern me more if he wasn't also doing the other things that make him a great hitter. If the hr total is down next year then I'll get concerned.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Shohei hits a liner off Anderson's nalga (buttcheek) then Olson throws out Hermosillo at 2nd. Weird play.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

If he was 25 then yeah there shouldn't be any concern. But he's 35.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

He also hit 36 last year and has a career war of almost 60. I'll give him a mulligan for his lack of pop this year.

I hope so. I want him to continue to be great. He's one of the last few great players that are older than me. Makes me feel young. Lol. Now everyone seems to be a player born in the Clinton years.

 

[Cheese Wagstaff]

Do we know what the schedule would be if there are two Game 163s tomorrow?

I feel ya. He's a hof form of Adam Dunn.

 

[Reality Check]

TBS showing a completely meaningless game. And here I was told that only big bad ESPN would do such a thing.

They all do it. Good thing I have the MLB network again.

They’re all free on MLB TV today.

Do we know what the schedule would be if there are two Game 163s tomorrow?

Both afternoon games. 1 PM ET for Central title game and 4 PM ET for West title game.

 

[Cheese Wagstaff]

Both afternoon games. 1 PM ET for Central title game and 4 PM ET for West title game.

I guess they’re worried about travel time before the Tuesday game, but it’s extremely annoying I’ll be home in time to watch like three innings.

 

[The Night King]

Dodgers 14-0 after a Muncy homer in the water.

Time to officially blow it up in San Francisco

MLB announces schedule for possible tiebreaker games Monday

 

[Cheese Wagstaff]

Khris Davis lifted from the game and has his fourth consecutive .247 season.

 

[tony d]

Interesting on Davis. Still what a player he is. One of my favorites in the league.

 

[Cheese Wagstaff]

And we will see you, tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Cubs 8-2

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Marlins-Mets and Rangers-Mariners are playing U-Haul games and they can't wait to get it over with, game time just over 2 hours.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Time to officially blow it up in San Francisco

Nope. They're gonna try to be players for Machado, Harper, Keuchel, or even Kershaw if he opts out. Rebuilding is not in ther vocabulary. They want these quick recoveries after an abysmal season a la Red Sox.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Khris Davis lifted from the game and has his fourth consecutive .247 season.

His homer totals have gone up every one of those years, as well.
