October Regular Season Game Thread

[shawnrbu]

They build statues of guys who hit like this in a game that keeps you 1 back of a 3 way tie for the 2nd Wild Card.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Kyle Seager is very, very bald for a 33 year old.

 

[reggiecleveland]

can't see Angels scoring again.

 

[trekfan55]

The Giants could lose tomorrow and not win the west which they led essentially all season. They then could lose the playoff to LA on Monday, and lose the WC game to St. Louis on Tuesday. 106 wins and it could be over that fast. Brutal.

In 2005 the Sox and Yankees ended with the same record but because bith were going to the playoffs anyway H2H record sent the Yankees as the divison winner and Sox as WC for seeding purposes.

Did they change that rule?

 

[CaptainLaddie]

you guys need to switch to the LAAoA feed on MLB.tv. whew.

It was a weird night at Fenway. The Yankees won the game and then the Red Sox celebrated on the field.

 

[reggiecleveland]

This is a real murderer's row the Angels have coming up here

Did they change that rule?

Yes, rule changed when the second wild card was introduced in 2012. The Brewers and Cubs and Dodgers and Rockies tied for the division lead in 2018 and had a 1 game playoff to crown the division winner.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Do something Grizzly Adams.

 

[canderson]

Chaos reigns.

Did they change that rule?

Yeah - in 2005 there was no reason to break the tie because there was no difference between the division winner and the wildcard other than who played whom in the first round. Once they added the rule where the wildcard had to play an extra, sudden-death game, they added the division tiebreaker game.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I think all four teams win tomorrow.

I get the sentiment, but I mean, that would be a 4 game October losing streak. That usually means the season is over, for any team ever.

 

[brandonchristensen]

I think all four teams win tomorrow.

That’s a pretty simple ending

sox/Yankees at Fenway for theWC

 

[joe dokes]

We in the PMW have had to endure Sims for what seems like eternity.

Sims was a sportswriter for one of the ny dailies (post or news) in the 70s. Never knew this is where he is now.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Ohtani with a lead off homer to put the Angels up 1-0.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

It takes Toronto four pitches to establish a lead against Baltimore. Springer goes deep.

 

[dirtynine]

Sorry if this has been asked and answered - is there a good place to monitor “live” standings during the games today?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

I think we can put this one in the win column for Toronto already.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Bueller has 6 K's through 2 for LA.

 

[NYCSox]

I think we can say goodbye to the Mariners.

 

[shawnrbu]

Muncy leaves with an injury following a collision at 1st.

 

[axx]

I think we can say goodbye to the Mariners.

Damn, only gets 5 outs.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Muncy seems destined to miss some time. I guess Albert Pujols gets his chance for a good encore to his career.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Toronto doesn't believe in drama. 5-0 and Guerrero now tied for the home run title.

 

[NYCSox]

Would be nice if the Rays could get a hit with RISP today.

 

[axx]

Seattle not dead yet, now 4-2

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

The best thing you can say about Baltimore's pitching staff is that they back up home plate well.

 

[NYCSox]

Unreal how these bums like Peralta and Holmes turn into Mariano Rivera in pinstripes.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Springer grand slam. 9-1. Yankees and Red Sox have to win if they don't want to play a #163.

 

[LogansDad]

Giants doing what they need to do through 4. Up 6-1.

7-1 now. Posey with his third RBI of the game.

 

[canderson]

Giants up 7-1, hopefully to put the west away.

Edit: beaten by a second ha

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

I was really looking forward to the possibility of the Dodgers playoff run lasting one game... until the @#%*'ing Cardinals got hot.

 

[NYCSox]

Rays apparently used up all their offense yesterday.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

Urshela may be dead.

Edit - not dead but he’s coming out of the game. None of that fake Jeterian diving for him.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

That's the most only impressive thing Angel Hernandez has ever done as an umpire.

 

[NYCSox]

Urshela may be dead.

Edit - not dead but he’s coming out of the game. None of that fake Jeterian diving for him.

Unfortunately his departure might be an upgrade for them.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Worse for the Dodgers, Muncy had to come out with an injury.

[canderson]

LAAAAAAA up 6-2 on Seattle now

 

[NYCSox]

Yeah 4 way is not happening. If the Rays can just score a few it will be fine regardless.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Even if the Mariners pull off a huge comeback, they'll have to use up their entire bullpen.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Trea Turner hit a grand slam to give the Dodgers a lead, but SF is pulling away.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

So Belt, Devin Williams, Kershaw and Muncy all get hurt the last week of the season.

 

[NYCSox]

Would be nice if the Rays could get a hit with RISP today.

Please guys just one would be good for now.

 

[NYCSox]

Christ. How can they not get the runner home?

 

[axx]

If you think about it, that's gotta be rough for the Mariners. Red Sox losing, Yankees only have one hit. They are getting what they needed.

 

[shawnrbu]

Angels up 7-2.

 

[NYCSox]

Another fucking squander by the Rays. This is not going to end well.

 

[Ale Xander]

Poor blue Jays

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Red Sox/Yankees feels inevitable.
