MLB 2018 Season: Slugging Contenders and a bunch of Also-Rans

[Boyiee]

I finished with the most home runs, and since we have 8 teams, I got 8 points in that category. Whoever had the second most homers got 7 points for that category, and so on.

Yelich doing Yelich things.

I didn't realize Arenado got a homer yesterday.

Yelich is down 1 homer and 1 RBI for the triple crown now (with Baez also able to expand his RBI lead and Arenado able to hit another homer later today). Arenado is also tied with Yelich for 2nd in RBIs and Aguilar is 1 back so a big day from either could mess it up too.

Also my stream sucks dick because somehow MLB.tv that I paid $130 for doesn't have this regular season game included.

[archibaldcrane]

Yelich 3 for 3 now jesus.

[Melena]

Yelich has been a monster the past 6+ weeks. Brewers don't even get this tie breaker game without him.

Another GIDP for Chacin, nice.

Man, the decisions one has to make when there’s a possibility you can also be playing tomorrow for the WC.

[archibaldcrane]

Made even harder in a tie game.

God I love October baseball lol. I got no dog in this fight and I even had my buttcheeks clenched at this Baez at bat.

Random question since it’s irrelevant. How come the stats for today aren’t counting towards fantasy? It wouldn’t change anything in our league, but it would obviously be an issue if it was super tight and you had players still in it. Especially in a money league.

I’m guessing the season is 162 games regardless in the context of fantasy baseball?

[archibaldcrane]

No idea, obviously a system could include these games if they wanted.

I think it makes more sense to ignore tiebreakers and view the season through the lens of the 162-game season. I think it's more strange that the stats count toward triple crown and the like when it's really more of a play-in game for the playoffs

holy shit, 2nd and 3rd, no outs, Cain, Yelich and Braun coming up....

c'mon Brewers...

[Xno Kappa]

Damn. I wanted to see Yelich win the triple crown in a dramatic fashion lol.

[archibaldcrane]

Pretty much seals it unless there's extras or a big rally. I just want an insurance run from Braun here.

[archibaldcrane]

How the fuck is Arcia, arguably the worst everyday hitter in the league, 4-4?

Grats Archi.

grats Archi!

[archibaldcrane]

feels good man

Now do I want the Dodgers to lose so that it's 100% guaranteed that either they or the Cubs are eliminated by the wild card (but then the Brewers play the winner) or do I want Colorado to lose, hope they beat the Cubs for the WC, and give the Braves a chance to knock out the Dodgers in the NLDS?
