Tyler O'Neill with his second of the game to make it 2-0.

202. salvomania Posted: October 01, 2021 at 09:55 PM (#6042924)

Arenado, Goldschmidt, and O'Neill now each have 34 homers.

203. salvomania Posted: October 01, 2021 at 09:57 PM (#6042925)

This century only four Cardinals have hit more in a season: Pujols (9 times), Edmonds (3 times), Ryan Ludwick (once), and Matt Carpenter (once).

204. cardsfanboy

Posted: October 01, 2021 at 10:09 PM (#6042928)

damn, blast by the Cubs to make it 3-2. Nearly unhittable pitch to be honest and Trayce Thompson crushed it.

205. cardsfanboy

Posted: October 01, 2021 at 10:13 PM (#6042929)

O'Neill could only muster a double off the wall in his third at bat this game.

206. cardsfanboy

Posted: October 01, 2021 at 10:21 PM (#6042932)

they are doing a replay review one of the stupidest things to do a review on. Whether or not the guys foot came off the base for a milisecond while sliding and being tagged.

I hate that use of replay.

207. the Hugh Jorgan returns Posted: October 01, 2021 at 10:35 PM (#6042933)

If you'd told me at the beginning of the season the Red Sox would win 90 games, I would've said no effing way...but alas, here we are. And right in the middle of all the fun.

208. Howie Menckel Posted: October 01, 2021 at 10:37 PM (#6042934)

AL WILDCARDS
NYY 91-69 +1 (L)
BOS 90-70 -- (W)

SEA 89-70 -- vs LAA
TOR 89-71 1 (W)

NYY and BOS games ended seconds apart. good to be in a market where I could watch both simultaneously without a special package.

meanwhile, am flying all day on Sunday, cross-country (bonus points for a connection, sigh) - roughly from 10 am to 6 pm ET. I chose poorly.

what's the latest on in-flight options? do I need to buy something in advance to get access to NFL Red Zone and MLB Network?

209. Rally Posted: October 01, 2021 at 10:47 PM (#6042937)

KC has 11 runs tonight. But no homers for Salvy

210. Hombre Brotani

Posted: October 01, 2021 at 11:20 PM (#6042944)

The Angels giveth a run, then taketh two against the Mariners. That park hasn't been this loud since Ichiro left town.

211. the Hugh Jorgan returns Posted: October 01, 2021 at 11:50 PM (#6042947)

The Red Sox real secret to beating the Nats today was issuing Soto 4! BB. Got him to K once, but I'm thinking that was a fluke.

212. The Duke Posted: October 01, 2021 at 11:54 PM (#6042948)

So it looks like cards get LAD in play-in game. If cards win that do they get giants ? And then winner of Braves-brewers?

213. and Posted: October 02, 2021 at 07:06 AM (#6042954)

So we need Toronto and Seattle to win out, the yanks to lose out and Boston to go 1-1. Not an unreasonable ask.

214. TomH Posted: October 02, 2021 at 08:18 AM (#6042957)

Yes, the winner of STL-LA gets SF. Unless the last 5 games of Sat-Sun-Mon all go LA's way and then its Stl-SF

Q: Which team has the best record over the last 50 games?
A: (without checking every team, I feel certain it is the) Dodgers, 39-11. Giants 37-13, Cards 35-15. That is a LOT of NL teams en feugo.

215. TomH Posted: October 02, 2021 at 08:27 AM (#6042959)

Playing NL pennant odds here

ATL-MIL I put the Brewers as 55% favorites
STL-LA single game, 60% for LA
STL-SF 62% for SF
LA-SF 58% LA

ATL/MIL winner vs NL West (likely) winner; NL West favored

final total
ATL:: .45*.41 = .18
MIL:: .55*.47 = .26
STL .4*.38*.52 = .08
LA .6*.58*.64 = .23 (slight bump since they COULD still win the division; .25)
SF::: .62*.57 = .35 (slight dip since they COULD still lose the division; .33)

216. and Posted: October 02, 2021 at 09:52 AM (#6042963)

@214: and only one of those three hot teams and one of the 100 win teams can make the lcs.

217. ERROR---Jolly Old St. Nick

FTR the Rays-Yankees game is MLB.TV's Free Game of the Day, starting at 1:05.

218. ERROR---Jolly Old St. Nick

Posted: October 02, 2021 at 01:18 PM (#6042989)

The Rays SS Wander Franco has 55 hits and only 48 swing-and-misses over the last 43 games. Bleeping unbelievable.

219. TomH Posted: October 02, 2021 at 01:39 PM (#6042992)

Go Rays! Gogo Wild Card CHAOS!!

Yankees cratering. Wow

Jays are getting to Means early.

223. TomH Posted: October 02, 2021 at 03:31 PM (#6043005)

follow up to 214:

50 games ago, the Dodgers and Giants were tied as NL East leaders.

The Dodgers have gone 37-13. And LOST ground.

224. TomH Posted: October 02, 2021 at 04:31 PM (#6043018)

Wild Card race soon to look like

NYY 91-70 --
BOS 90-70 .5
TOR 90-71 1
SEA 89-71 1.5

225. and Posted: October 02, 2021 at 05:07 PM (#6043032)

So long as Seattle wins tonight, a four way tie will be possible on the last day of the season.

226. Baldrick Posted: October 02, 2021 at 05:44 PM (#6043039)

Red Sox have a perfect game through five innings, but lift the starter (Houck), probably in part because his season-high for IP is 5 1/3.

227. Textbook Editor Posted: October 02, 2021 at 05:48 PM (#6043041)

Red Sox have a perfect game through five innings, but lift the starter (Houck), probably in part because his season-high for IP is 5 1/3.

I wonder what the latest is that a person has been lifted with a perfect game going.

228. TomH Posted: October 02, 2021 at 06:05 PM (#6043046)

potentially good trivia question!

229. Voodoo Posted: October 02, 2021 at 07:07 PM (#6043066)

Bases loaded for Soto in Washington, bottom 8th 1 out, Red Sox clinging to a 1-0 lead.

230. Voodoo Posted: October 02, 2021 at 07:10 PM (#6043068)

Sac fly tie game

231. Voodoo Posted: October 02, 2021 at 07:32 PM (#6043077)

Red Sox break it open in the 9th 5-1

232. Voodoo Posted: October 02, 2021 at 07:35 PM (#6043079)

Mass Chaos would have been more likely with a Boston loss. But it's still reasonably probable, pending the Mariners game tonight. Red Sox and Yankees could both lose and the Blue Jays and Mariners win. Or at least it would be probable that one of the NYY/BOS will lose and one of SEA/TOR will win, which would guarantee us a one game playoff to get into the one game playoff.

233. The Ghost of Sox Fans Past

Posted: October 02, 2021 at 07:36 PM (#6043080)

Wait, per Gameday,they let Austin Davis, the pitcher, hit and he walked on 4 pitches?

234. Dillon Gee Escape Plan Posted: October 02, 2021 at 07:38 PM (#6043081)

Yep. Pulled a Jose Ceda.

NYY starting Taillon in Game 162 Sunday.
Cole pitches either Game 163 or the wild-card game.

it's the right move.

236. cardsfanboy

Posted: October 02, 2021 at 10:28 PM (#6043147)

6-5 game, Cubs winning, there have been 4 lead changes this game. (if you count 0-0 as the start)

237. The Duke Posted: October 02, 2021 at 10:49 PM (#6043152)

Urias with number 20 tonight (if things hold up ) and the Dodgers take out Burnes. Urias may now get serious Cy votes as scherzer has faded. I think it’s wheeler, Burnes, scherzer, Urias, gausmann but it’s Really close. 10 good pitchers all have a claim to a vote

238. Howie Menckel Posted: October 02, 2021 at 10:53 PM (#6043156)

which would guarantee us a one game playoff to get into the one game playoff.

one regular-season game 163 to get us into the one-game playoff

239. Hombre Brotani

Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:14 AM (#6043171)

Jared Walsh belts a 3-run no-doubter to give the Angels a 4-3 lead over the Mariners in the top of the 8th. Season's on the line!

240. Random Transaction Generator Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:14 AM (#6043172)

#227:

Rich Hill holds the record for most perfect innings pitched to start a game and not finish it: 7.0

He got lifted by Dave Roberts while pitching for the Dodgers on September 10, 2016.

241. Snowboy Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:16 AM (#6043174)

Sticking with Sewald was a clear mistake, even in the moment.
Forget how good he's been, forget that he's now the 4th Mariner reliever with 100K in a season.
He didn't have his A game, and against Jared Walsh you have to have an A game.
3 run homer gives up the Mariners lead.

242. Howie Menckel Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:20 AM (#6043177)

Mets careers of M's pitchers tonight with season on the line:

Flexen 2017-19 - 3-11, 8.07 ERA in 68 IP
Sewald 2017-20 - 1-14, 5.50 ERA in 147 IP

4-25 combined, yet a combined 23-9 this year in Seattle.

clearly their one-year Deals with the Devil each expired on Sept. 30 - NOT the end of the regular season. they'll rue their lawyers' mistakes for all of eternity....

243. Hombre Brotani

Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:20 AM (#6043178)

Sticking with Sewald was a clear mistake, even in the moment.

Coming into this game
Walsh vs. lefties: 167/.206/.339 in 189 PAs
Walsh vs. righties: .329/.401/.577 in 343 PAs

He should never have been allowed to see a right-handed pitcher in that spot.

244. Hombre Brotani

Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:25 AM (#6043179)

Fortunately for the Mariners, they're playing the Angels.

HOW WILL THE ANGELS LOSE TODAY?!

245. Hombre Brotani

Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:34 AM (#6043180)

I just want to die.

246. John DiFool2 Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:34 AM (#6043181)

244: By giving up a 2 run single with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th.

247. and Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:39 AM (#6043183)

And then a bloop and bad throw.

248. Doug Jones threw harder than me Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:51 AM (#6043186)

So now if things work out in the craziest way, one could have a 4-way tie for the AL Wildcard and the Giants and Dodgers tied for first and the top wild card in the NL West.

249. and Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:52 AM (#6043188)

248 one can dream

251. TomH Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:07 PM (#6043220)

When does MLB ask the clubs in potential 3-way tie to choose their A/B/C preferences; early today, or not until the games end?

252. Lassus Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:27 PM (#6043225)

Holy crap, did jim nuke the replacement COVID threads?

253. and Posted: October 03, 2021 at 12:47 PM (#6043229)

Debatable. Some say it died of natural causes and that the existence of “Furtado” is a big lie.

254. Lassus Posted: October 03, 2021 at 01:32 PM (#6043236)

No, no, a couple replacements showed up. I posted Pujols' vaccine symptom story as a new one, and there was one before THAT. Both are gone, not "can't comment", but literally gone.

255. and Posted: October 03, 2021 at 01:40 PM (#6043239)

Oh the replacements? ####. No idea. Guess he doesn’t want COVID in the background when 4 randos click over during the postseason.

256. Mefisto Posted: October 03, 2021 at 02:53 PM (#6043248)

@248: The clearly correct way to root is Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers lose. Of course, that doesn't distinguish today from any other day.

257. Doug Jones threw harder than me Posted: October 03, 2021 at 03:02 PM (#6043251)

@256 Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers lose, and Giants lose too, and then the 4-way and 2-way tie (Sextafecta?) is still in play.

258. bestergonomicgamingchair.com Posted: October 03, 2021 at 03:03 PM (#6043253)

Pujols thread is still up and open for comments it seems (don't know for how long).

259. bestergonomicgamingchair.com Posted: October 03, 2021 at 03:06 PM (#6043255)

LET'S GET READY TO STUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!

260. JJ1986 Posted: October 03, 2021 at 03:13 PM (#6043257)

Ohtani going deep quickly.

261. Doug Jones threw harder than me Posted: October 03, 2021 at 03:23 PM (#6043260)

@256 Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers lose, and Giants lose too, and then the 4-way and 2-way tie (Sextafecta?) is still in play.

My fault, I forgot the Giants are 1 game up on the Dodgers. So hoping the Dodgers win and Giants lose, so there can be a 1-game playoff for the playoffs tomorrow.

262. Mefisto Posted: October 03, 2021 at 03:35 PM (#6043262)

It's never correct to root for the Dodgers.

263. JJ1986 Posted: October 03, 2021 at 03:37 PM (#6043263)

Has Ryan Zimmerman announced that this is his last game?

264. JustDan Posted: October 03, 2021 at 03:39 PM (#6043264)

No. He hasn’t announced either way.

265. JJ1986 Posted: October 03, 2021 at 03:43 PM (#6043266)

No. He hasn’t announced either way.

Thanks. He got a huge ovation before his 1st AB.

Nats take the early lead thanks to Jordy Mercer. Rays strand a few.

266. Hombre Brotani

Posted: October 03, 2021 at 03:44 PM (#6043267)

David Fletcher has finally come out of his hole after batting .100 for a month. RBI double makes it 3-0 Angels.

267. Snowboy Posted: October 03, 2021 at 03:50 PM (#6043268)

Jays up 3-0 after 1.
BAL SP Bruce Zimmerman goes 7 batters, 0.2 IP

Vlad Jr with a bullet to opposite field 2nd deck for historic 48th HR of season.
5-0 Jays thru 2.

269. The Duke Posted: October 03, 2021 at 03:58 PM (#6043271)

Padres will finish 79-83 - that’s just terrible considering where they were.

270. Hombre Brotani

Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:08 PM (#6043273)

Mariners doing another one of those... comebacks? Is that the right word? As an Angels fan, I am generally unfamiliar with this sequence of events.

271. JustDan Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:16 PM (#6043274)

Nationals knock Sale out of the game in the 3rd inning. RedSox trail 2-0 after 3.

272. JJ1986 Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:18 PM (#6043276)

I thought I was watching a replay of Springer's first-inning homer.

273. JustDan Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:19 PM (#6043277)

Blue Jays piling on.

274. Snowboy Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:20 PM (#6043278)

Grand slam George Springer.
Now 9-1. SkyDome is deafening.

No, no, a couple replacements showed up. I posted Pujols' vaccine symptom story as a new one, and there was one before THAT. Both are gone, not "can't comment", but literally gone.

What in the everloving #### are you talking about? The Pujols one is live and accepting comments. The Renfroe one is still live and accepting comments, but since it was originally posted 3 weeks ago and interest in hijacking it for a pity party has waned it's not right at your fingertips on Hot Topics. Neither is literally nor figuratively gone.

If you want an explanation (or at least my best guess) about the original thread, go find the Renfroe thread. In the meantime, it didn't appear that Jim or anyone else nuked a damn thing, and if you want to make counterfactual statements and unfounded accusations of tyranny at least keep it to the Pujols thread where people love to respond to that kind of thing. Y'all are impossible.

276. JJ1986 Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:30 PM (#6043281)

I don't think the Padres are going to win.

277. Snowboy Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:33 PM (#6043282)

[275] Take a breath. I'd say Lassus didn't see (his) Pujols-covid thread on the Hot Topics list, and asked if it had been nuked, same as the original. It slid off Hot Topics yesterday. But we found it again.

278. Gary Truth Serum Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:42 PM (#6043284)

Gio Urshela runs at full tilt into the Rays dugout to catch a pop foul, right down the dugout stairs with minimal resistance from the Rays personnel. He was shaken up for quite a while but manages to hobble off the field.

279. JJ1986 Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:44 PM (#6043285)

Walsh (I think) hits a monster shot to put the Angels up 6-2.

280. Hombre Brotani

Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:45 PM (#6043286)

Jared Walsh again for the Angels, 29th of the season for him. Angels up 6-2 over the Mariners in the 4th.

281. and Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:46 PM (#6043287)

The 4 way tie not looking good. But odds of one tie breaker are good.

282. Edmundo got dem ol' Kozma blues again mama

Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:47 PM (#6043288)

Hector Neris has tied Ron Reed’s most Ks by a Phillies relief pitcher. He comes back out in the 5th to break it.

And he just broke it! High point of the year.

283. JustDan Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:47 PM (#6043289)

Astros lead the White Sox by 1 game for the 2-seed. Have they clinched that or is still up for grabs?

284. The Duke Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:53 PM (#6043290)

Well, Dodgers have wrapped up their game and the sad sack Padres are laying down again today. What a season for LAD and SFG.

It’s a shame Dodgers will go out in one game

285. Hombre Brotani

Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:53 PM (#6043291)

Astros have already clinched the second seed by going 5-2 against the ChiSox.

286. The Duke Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:56 PM (#6043292)

Just saw that Urshela play - probably play of the year. Never seen anything like it

287. JJ1986 Posted: October 03, 2021 at 04:59 PM (#6043293)

It would help me (while I'm watching 4 games at once) if the Mariners (who are mostly anonymous nationally) had names on the back of their jerseys.

288. Hombre Brotani

Posted: October 03, 2021 at 05:02 PM (#6043294)

Nats push across another one. 3-1 over Boston, 5th inning.

289. JustDan Posted: October 03, 2021 at 05:03 PM (#6043295)

Thanks Bro.

Logan Webb has a 1-hitter going, and has 2 hit himself including a home run

290. JJ1986 Posted: October 03, 2021 at 05:04 PM (#6043296)

Alex Avila finally gets a hit.

291. Hombre Brotani

Posted: October 03, 2021 at 05:04 PM (#6043297)

2-out, 2-run double makes it 5-1, Nats over Boston.

292. and Posted: October 03, 2021 at 05:07 PM (#6043299)

Mariners not doing their part.

293. Textbook Editor Posted: October 03, 2021 at 05:08 PM (#6043300)

The way the Red Sox are hitting I’m not sure it matters if they play 163 or the WC game.

294. Rally Posted: October 03, 2021 at 05:10 PM (#6043301)

Angels exacting some revenge for events that happened when Ohtani was a 1 year old.

295. JustDan Posted: October 03, 2021 at 05:10 PM (#6043302)

Lots of game left for Seattle. They’re not out of it yet.

296. Rally Posted: October 03, 2021 at 05:12 PM (#6043304)

0-0, B Lowe up with 2 out, 2 on. He should have saved on of those 3 homers for today.

297. Edmundo got dem ol' Kozma blues again mama

Posted: October 03, 2021 at 05:13 PM (#6043305)

Seranthony Dominguez makes his first appearance since 2019 for the Phillies. A1-2-3 inning!

298. Rally Posted: October 03, 2021 at 05:13 PM (#6043306)

295, yeah, this game is just as over as the AL west pennant race was in August 1995.
