And the SS for the other team, some guy named Baez, at got a single at the end to go with his two Ks...
All of the above. Congrats to the Brew Crew. They surely earned it. Cubs live to play, their road is just a little tougher. Lester tomorrow.
I'm not a fan of the one-game wild card playoff, but I do like these multiple Game 163s - feels like a double-elimination Little League tournament. Also makes me feel less bad for whoever loses in the NL Wild Card game since they will have lost two in a row instead of just once.
Dodger Stadium is empty. I get it's a game scheduled at the last second, and it's 1pm on a Monday, but you would think some people would go.
Sorting it out, no big differences but I agree. Oops, just remembered Nolan Arenado is a big favorite of mine. Let’s have another great game.
I always thought Bud Black did a good job managing the Padres, given what he had. So I wouldn’t mind seeing him going deep. On the other hand I would love to see my Sox out here in Dodger Stadium for the WS.
Very few people work in Angelino Heights on a Monday. It's basically residential plus bars plus hair stylists. The juice isn;t worth the squeeze with the traffic after, and with it not being lose and go home and with how far they went last year.
Dodgers fans don't care pre-WS.
I think that's clearly safe. it will be interesting to see whether they call it inconclusive.
Edit: The last replay made it look close. I think a spike on the heel may have hit the side of the base before the runner's foot got there.

I had temporarily forgotten Machado was on the Dodgers, now I’m rooting for their swift exit even more.
Is that trivia tidbit about Desmond being the last active player drafted by the Expos only true because Brandon Phillips' season is technically over?
Didn’t they say Desmond was drafted by the Expos in 2004? Phillips came up to Cleveland in 2002.
But he was acquired from the Expos in the big Bartolo Colon deal with Cliff Lee and Grady Sizemore.
The statement was just about Desmond being the last player drafted by the expos.
As in the only player left from their last draft who's still active? Okay. That's not how I read it but I guess technically it's true.
Beautiful day down there. No smog. Smog situation in CA has gotten far less problematic over the last few decades though.
Hey, now it is just set up for another spectacular Dodgers bullpen implosion, of which there have been many this year....
Rockies getting rocked. Their bats will have to wake up at some point, or else this came could be over at 7pm.
the Dodgers pitching has dominated them all year. they really needed to sweep Washington to finish.
There have never been back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs in a game 163. Just sayin'.
So much for Yelich needing just a solo HR earlier to win the triple crown. He's going to finish 3rd in HRs.
He had an irregular heartbeat problem this year, which kind of affected his pitching. Or, the medication for the problem did. He still had a WHIP for the season < 1.
This may have been asked, but why did they not flip flop the days of the WC games? AL should play tomorrow and NL Wednesday. It is crazy that the Rockies now have to fly to Chicago and play tomorrow. Yet there will then be 3 days off before the NLDS begins.
