Last ever September callups start tomorrow

 

[BKIslandersFan]

What a catch by Aaron Judge to end the inning! Win this one!

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

LeMahieu wins it!

 

[BKIslandersFan]

THE YANKEES WIN! Believe!!!!!

 

[Terry Yake]

A's did not deserve to win that game

soria is garbage. and what the hell is melvin thinking sending trivino out there for a 3rd inning?

 

[SSF]

Reynaldo Lopez ain't missing a lot of bats tonight so much so Billy freaking Hamilton just took him to warning track in right center field for a ground rule double

Edit: follow that up with a 2 RBI single to the pitcher and HE GONE after 2/3rds of an inning

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Garcia homers, 5-2 Rays over CLE.

Braves and Nationals seemingly en route to blowout wins. The Braves game started 10 minutes later...and yet the Nationals game is nearly 3 innings ahead.

 

[SSF]

First inning was 50 painful minutes long, I am at the game

 

[SSF]

2nd inning was a short 30 minutes

 

[hockeykicker]

Leads baseball in average and basically leads in rbi's (havent compared to other players based off today's stats)

He has to be up there in mvp talks

 

[c9777666]

Tigers beat the Twins (10 runs for Detroit!) but the Indians lose to the Rays.

That’s a big missed opportunity for Cleveland.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Diamondbacks are up 5-4 against Kershaw in a game they have to have after the Cubs loss today.

 

[John Price]

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Cards comeback to beat the Reds with 2 in the 9th. Now 2 and 1/2 up on the Cubs.

 

[c9777666]

The Reds and Pirates are basically laying down for the Cardinals

 

[SSF]

No they arent, they just arent very good teams

 

[darko]

He'll get votes but it'll be Bellinger/Yelich.

 

[Sharks2020]

Looking more and more like the Giants will miss the playoffs, sigh

 

[DougieSmash]

And somehow suddenly Eduardo Escobar is consistent slugger.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Sean Manaea, Carlos Carrasco and Ben Zobrist are back in the bigs.

Agreed.
I wouldn't say either is "laying down" for anyone, however, in the Pirates' case, I honestly don't know what the hell they are doing....they look sometimes like they are playing "half hearted".

Cincy though, looks like they are playing like they still WANT to be in the playoff race (not gonna happen this year, I know), but, like you said, they just aren't good enough.

I honestly didn't think they WOULD make the playoffs...even when they were on their nice run.
Just too many teams to climb over and almost all in front of them were going to have to go into a tailspin pretty much at the same time. Tall order for anyone.

I commend their attempt at 'going for it' by not trading away everyone people thought they would at the deadline, but it definitely was a big gamble....one that, unfortunately, won't pay off for them this season.
At the very least, the blasted Yankees didn't end up with MadBum.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Oakland with a big missed opportunity in NY.
Two men on, no one out, had J.A. Happ on the ropes....but he wriggles out of it, with the A's having nothing to show for it.
Game remains scoreless as the Yanks come to bat in the bottom of the 5th.

Meanwhille, over in Detroit, seems after a hiccup yesterday, the Twins are right back to beating on the Tigers.
Leading the Tabbies 5-1 as Detroit now comes to bat in the bottom half of the 3rd.

Tampa Bay leading the Indians 3-1 in the bottom of the 4th after a Nate Lowe two run blast. Go Rays!
