What happens if Ms ties with Red Sox? How's the tiebreaker look? Getting the last 3 games against Angels, with no Trout and no Ohtani pitching, needs to be a sweep.
https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2021/09/30/red-sox-al-wild-card-standings-tie-playoffs/ think boston wins the tie breaker versus all other wildcard teams so it'd be in fenway if boston is wc2. things get a little screwy if houston/seattle tie for the al west (not sure if still possible with hou's win today) or if boston is wc1 alone.
New thread title needed. Let’s get suggestions going in the chat Seattle Mariners - - can we interest you in some chaos ball? - go ms, go birds, go nats - SODO MOJO - let us have this i will vote against anything related to fun differential. BELIVE is too mainstream imo but I do like it
I specifically changed accounts, and then forgot the login info for the other one. Never cared enough to try.
I don’t think I have a bigger pet peeve in all of sports than strikeouts with runner on third and less than two outs.
i guess we all cope in different ways but my way is way better than, "you're not a real fan!!1!" like i'm ten years old
he's off the fucking base (maybe) dave sims shouting at both the sac bunt and at the foot maybe being off the base is great
Could probably use another OF, a 2B, and a couple SP’s to start. Maybe a 3B if you don’t think Toro is an every day guy. Also gotta bring Mitch back. C- Raleigh/Murphy/Torrens 1B- France 2B- FA 3B- Toro/FA SS- JP LF- Kelenic CF- Lewis/FA RF- Mitch SP’s: Marco, Flexen, Gilbert are locked in. Kikuchi probably gone. Sheffield and Dunn just don’t seem to have it, at least as nothing more than a #5 if they can eat innings. Probably need to trade for 1 great SP and can maybe sign another midlevel guy as well. If were gonna contend, can’t put too much hope on the young guys being ready yet. RP’s: Should be good enough here. Will probably add a couple minimum guys. Banking on Giles and Munoz being healthy on top of the other guys from this year. May as well convert Dunn to a RP at this point. Overall I hope we spend $ on position players and use farm depth to go get an impact arm or 2.
Oh and also, I hope Julio is ready for opening day. Still think we need another OF though, given KLew’s injuries and the youth of Kelenic and J-Rod. That’s why I think bringing Mitch back is so critical. Plus, he’s really good.
