Down in hot 'Lanta to end this nightmare, part 1

[Bergs]

if we do win this game and the Tigers lose (behind by 1 with an inning to go), by winning percentage the Tigers jump in front in the draft order.

The Tigers got the memo.

 

[rajendra82]

Looks like we got the memo too.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Watch for the steal.

 

[Earthbound64]

This "Start extra innings with a runner on 2nd" thing is the 2nd-stupidest thing ever - right after 7-inning double-headers.

Manfred is a real gem.

 

[rajendra82]

Watch for the steal.

Or don't.

 

[Bergs]

Was Lin not available to pitch again tonight?

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

Dragic going for every foul. Amazing when they're not called

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

BREAKING: Tigers have the tying run on 1st!

 

[mauidano]

Great change!!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Great change!!

Et tu, Brute?

 

[Earthbound64]

Well I hope you're happy now, you humorless franchise-sabotage rooting bastard.

Very.

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

YES! DANSBYS!!!

 

[Bergs]

Very.

And now?

 

[Earthbound64]

Not so much now.

 

[mauidano]

This game. I’m not sure how to feel anymore.

 

[budcrew08]

damn it. I still don’t think we can get the top 2 picks anyway

 

[E5 Yaz]

damn it. I still don’t think we can get the top 2 picks anyway

We could fall all the way to fifth, behind Tigers and D'Backs. Not sure about Orioles

 

[Earthbound64]

I still don’t think we can get the top 2 picks anyway

So let's root for the Red Sox to win.

 

[patinorange]

Since we want to lose anyway, I'm giving away a team secret. On an 0-2 count, the Sox are going to throw a high fastball.
It usually results in disaster, but I thought you other teams should know.

 

[mauidano]

What is Springs doing there? Get out of the way!

 

[rajendra82]

If Ender can't end this game, let's forfeit.

 

[mauidano]

Okay, I’m in it to win it. Let’s get Springs a W.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Do they start the 11th with two runners on second?

 

[Earthbound64]

Okay, I’m in it to win it. Let’s get Springs a W.

There we go.

 

[LogansDad]

Do they start the 11th with two runners on second?

Nah, one runner on second, and the Braves have to go down to 8 players in the field.

 

[Bergs]

Do they start the 11th with two runners on second?

Obviously.

 

[rajendra82]

A Red Sox that can bunt? Release him now.

 

[Earthbound64]

Nah, one runner on second, and the Braves have to go down to 8 players in the field.

With Manfred in charge, it wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Back Bay]

Do they start the 11th with two runners on second?

Chained together.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Chained together.

I saw that movie ... Chad Curtis and Sidney Ponson

 

[Earthbound64]

Chained together.

12th inning they begin building a Human Centipede.

 

[Bergs]

these fucking guys.

 

[E5 Yaz]

If the Red Sox and Tigers finish with an unequal number of games, does Detroit have to play a makeup game for seeding purposes?

 

[Bergs]

This runner on 2nd shit doesn't seem to be shortening games.

 

[shawnrbu]

That should lock up the MVP for Freddie.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Springs was a nice tank job.

#3 pick still in our control for now.

 

[Bergs]

Whooooooooooooooooo!!!!

 

[mauidano]

The 2020 season encapsulated right there. MVP.

 

[patinorange]

That was quick. I guess we are happy?

 

[budcrew08]

Congratulations you animals. Two left.

 

[scotian1]

Our bullpen is so bad.

 

[oumbi]

Thank you Mr. Springs.

 

[rajendra82]

 

[E5 Yaz]

That was quick. I guess we are happy?

Springs gives us eternal hope

 

[patinorange]

Atlanta left 17 on base? Can that be right?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Freeman had a bad case of COVID in July, but he's 100% now.

 

[Back Bay]

no more game tonight. Fuck you Springs.

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

We did it, guys!

 

[Earthbound64]

Springs gives us eternal hope

Hope Springs eternal.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Atlanta left 17 on base? Can that be right?

Let's see ... 11 from the start of each inning
