Hopefully Yankees make the postseason so there’s some sports happening in October.

[Krandor]

Do the New York Football Giants not count as sports?

[Xno Kappa]

It’s certainly something but I’m not sure I’d call it sports.

[Melena]

God I want that 5 way tie to happen just for the hilarity of it.

[Mertron]

pretty cool that the al east will almost certainly have four teams with 90 wins, and one (or two!) of them will be SOL

[Obsidian]

If you add the Red Sox and Yankees run differentials together, they would still have a lower run diff than the Blue Jays, lol.

I really can't understate how fucking bad the bullpen (and the 4-5 SP) has been. The Jays have the likely AL Cy Young in Robbie Ray, they acquired the also-good Jose Berrios, they have the guys who are probably going to finish second and third in MVP voting, and they have a top 5 run differential in the MLB. Yet, they're currently out of a playoff spot with a week left in the season.

[Melena]

And then you have the NL west where theoretically 106 wins will not outright win the division, and if the losing team gets past the suddenly white hot Cardinals, they then have to face the winner of the NL west. I really think they should reconsider the wildcard winner playing in the same division in the DS. I'm sure MLB would have been salivating at having 100+ wins Dodgers and Giants in the NLCS.

[Delayed]

Is there really a chance the dodgers miss post season with 100wins?
If so... manfred is gonna lose his shit over both his boys not playing and I'm all for it.

No the dodgers clinched like two weeks ago.

It's just the question for who gets to be #1 overall seed or who is going to the wild card.

Fml. Was really hoping so the 30 homeruns curse would be broken by him. One of the hottest hitters in MLB since August as well

So apparently the Yankees win streak is because of a pet turtle that may not be allowed in Toronto lmao.

[Melena]

The new billy goat curse?

[Xno Kappa]

Bronxie the turtle is the greatest Yankees acquisition since Babe Ruth.

In LOLMETS news, DeGrom is officially shut down for the year. Syndergard is scheduled to pitch an inning tonight, and may make another appearance over the weekend.

And here Xno, this video is for you.

Ryu somehow didn't get blown up but the Jays BP picked up the slack and blew up the game for him.

[Mertron]

the cardinals have won 17 straight games and clinched the second wild card

[Mertron]

Ryu somehow didn't get blown up but the Jays BP picked up the slack and blew up the game for him.

could be worse

could have had your ace pitcher lose a start to the worst team in baseball

[Mertron]

wait sorry, because they won that game the orioles are now the second worst team in baseball. my mistake
