[Kane One]

Iglesias lead-off HR. LFGM

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Iglesias lead-off HR. LFGM

I'm still trying to figure out why no one else even gave him a look-see. He hasn't been a bad player at all in the past.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That went south quickly. Matter of time.

 

[nyr2k2]

Peterson has been due for some regression, with his low K/9 and mediocre BB/9. I was optimistic he was truly taking a huge step when he had that 11K game recently, but if he's going to pitch to that much contact while also walking guys he's going to have trouble maintaining his success.

Severino's walk-up photo studio is highlarious

none of these teams wanna lose though. all NL WC hopeful teams are hot right now

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Not getting the warm and fuzzies seeing Megill scheduled for tonight.

 

[Bob Richards]

120 losses for the ChiSox

 

[nyr2k2]

Huge effort from Sugar. Got a little dicey but he did what he needed to do.

 

[Crease]

120 losses for the ChiSox

84 games under .500

 

[noncents]

that's it

Huge effort from Sugar. Got a little dicey but he did what he needed to do.

This was a huge win because up 2 games for the Atlanta series, even if you win only 1 of 3, the Braves gain 1 game only. Just don't get swept down there.

Fingers crossed we get Lindor back. I’m cautiously pessimistic. Maybe Pete can get hot away from Citi where he’s clearly pressing. Off day is huge for the bullpen. Go Giants tomorrow.

 

[Bob Richards]

84 games under .500

45 games behind the 2nd worst team in their division.

 

[RangerBlues]

Lets sweep the O's and root for the Tigers

 

[sbjnyc]

I'm rooting for the tigers because I have a Tigers Phillies world series ticket at 333 to 1.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

How many times have the Yankees made base running errors at third base?

 

[Machinehead]

Sending all my good vibes to the Mets. It needs to happen.

It's been awhile since both teams had a legit look at serious October ball at the same time.

 

[nyr2k2]

Pretty f***ing ridiculous that they couldn't come up with a plan for the Mets-Braves knowing that it was basically certain that no baseball could be played today or tomorrow.

now they have to play a double-header on Monday

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

now they have to play a double-header on Monday

Advantage: Braves

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Didn’t know Dominguez had fielding issues

 

[Crease]

Advantage: Braves

I don’t know if this is true. Gives Lindor more time to rest, and the Royals (Braves) are a harder series than the Brewers (Mets).

 

[JimmyG89]

Advantage: Braves

I'd say it's advantage D-Backs. They know if they put up 3 wins in their last 4, there is a good chance they make it. It's a race to 90 wins and they have the most cracks at it first.

The Mets can make this a moot point by going to Milwaukee and winning. Kansas City is playing for their season, the Brewers are not. Phillies and Dodgers can win their games and the Brewers have nothing to play for.

Also I know a lot of people shit on the NHL for things they do, but the MLB is next level when it comes to schedules and not doing anything about poor weather. Everyone knew this was possible. There should have been contingency options to move the games to a dome.

I get that it's a playoff push and you're taking an advantage away from the Braves, but now you're killing both teams. Someone will have a Monday doubleheader for their season and a Tuesday ROAD playoff game 1.
