GDT: 2019 MLB Regular Season Thread (Part VI): Final weekend

[c9777666]

A's win and the WC game is headed to the Coliseum.

Any potential panic about last night's 9th inning can be subsided.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

One last clinching scenario for tomorrow:

-Cardinals clinch the NL Central with a win OR a Brewers loss
-Brewers force a Game 163 with a win AND a Cardinals loss

You going to drive north Wed if needed??

i wish. if it was on a weekend i probably could have

got to see chapman's 9th inning HR the other night at angel stadium though so that was pretty cool

Oakland has the WC at home, the A's are due damnit!

Cards have looked sloppy since the 4 game sweep at Wrigley. They are VERY lucky the Rockies suddenly decided to give a damn.

 

[c9777666]

The 2 Game's 163 were afternoon games last year though...

And we don't have a week 4 MNF equivalent of this to potentially fall back on:



Last year, ESPN got 2 game 163's and Mahomes' first great moment.

This year............ they need a lot of things to fall right.

 

[c9777666]

And Rockies win.

This may cost them a top 5 draft pick

 

[Canes]

Yeah but it's the MLB draft so who cares

Oakland has the WC at home, the A's are due damnit!

You would certainly think so.

 

[Halladay]

Verlander just became 18th pitcher ever to record 3000 strikeouts.

He also reached 300 for the year. Two teammates doing it.

 

[c9777666]

You would certainly think so.

2019- Blues. Raptors. They say Good Things Come In Threes........

Molina is such a friggin' hothead, and in this case, an idiot. That pitch was a tad high and probably 3 inches inside and you think Hamels is throwing at you? Your team desperately needs this win. Shut your mouth and walk to first, it OBVIOUSLY wasn't intentional.

rizzo's probably confused since he told mlb to stop the pitching inside.

I covered most of this above but Rizzo is as tough as they come. As opposed to hothead idiot Molina. Molina wants zero part of Rizzo. How stupid do you have to be to think that was intentional? You can't control yourself in a game of this magnitude? Great leadership.

Well, a division tie breaker game isn’t technically a must win. And then you don’t have your ace for the actual “must win”, while the other wild card team does because they weren’t able to tie for first in their division. Again, your punishing a team for tying instead of just getting second.

Well I would suggest winning the divisional tie breaker game so you don’t have to worry about burning your ace and not having them for the WC game. Or don’t pitch your ace. Or like just forfeit the game I guess if you just want to be OK with playing the WC game and having your ace ready to go. It always comes back to the same answer - play better and win the games you need to and then you don’t have to worry about this stuff.

Looks like there will be no drama, Cards up 4-0.

imagine thinking yadier molina is afraid of anthony rizzo lmao

and good job missing the joke. rizzo had previously complained that the pirates dared to pitch inside to then throw sliders away. he's a grade a clown.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

What a year for him

Been waiting for him to break out for a few years

Can he sustain it? Maybe or maybe not but he was most comfortable at plate since his rookie year

White Sox win the division next year.

I loved the fact that Drew Butera got all these starts down the stretch instead of Dom Nuñez.

You would think an organization would learn after seeing Tom Murphy is doing in Seattle and be like “maybe we should play this talented young player instead of washed up veterans” but nope.

 

[robert terwilliger]

cubs just gave up lol

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Doubt he wins it because he doesn't have name recognition and plays for White Sox but he certainly should in just world with a gold glove with his D performance this year

 

[JWK]

Think the Brewers should IBB Nuñez so this doesn’t go extras and they go to Washington

 

[c9777666]

They did their part last two days. Rockies screwed up everything

 

[MattySnipes]

Which post-season team would you consider as going in 'cold' or 'not ideal' into the playoffs?

The Brewers entire starting outfield is currently injured.

As Hiura almost gets hit. This is borderline negligence right now. This game doesn't matter and never should've gotten past the 9th inning when the Rockies had the bases loaded.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Braves also involved in a stupid extra inning game.
