Washington will likely win, up 5-1.Originally Posted by simpdog
Yankees locked in a 0-0 tie late. Seattle likely to lose.
Might end up a 3-way tie for 2 wildcard spots!
In other news, Giants up 9-1 against the Padres, who started a failpitcher. Dodgers up 6-1, but doesn't matter. They will end up a 106-win 2nd place team.
Max Muncy suffered a freak accident near the beginning of the game, as Jace Peterson ran into his elbow, and Muncy went down in tremendous pain.
It is unclear how long he will be out, but this is a real killer for the Dodgers. The Giants are also without their slugging first baseman, as Brandon Belt is also injured.
In the meantime, the Red Sox have erased a 5-1 deficit against failteam Washington, and it's now 5-5. If they can win, they will lock up a wildcard spot. Yankees, now without LeMahieu, are still locked 0-0. Toronto is about to win, but will miss the playoffs if both NY and Boston win.
Muncy last 30 days .211/283/.453 with 26 strikeouts/9 walks in 95 AB. Dodgers dropped him in the lineup recently.
He's not irreplaceable.
On a more serious note. Trea Turner named Player of the Week. “Wheels” is also the 2021 NL Batting Champ.
Wednesday can’t come soon enough.
I would love to hear the angered conversations in Manfreds office about the Rays winning the division again and either Boston or NY will be out of the playoffs after 1 game....and possibly the Dodgers!
I'm just cheering for schadenfreude now. Rays-Brewers world series, lets go!
I know you didn’t want to engage me on the Dodgers this year. If you’d rather not kibitz cause I usually spoil the surprise I can stand down.
I understand the love. You must learn to set it free.
Florida doesn’t deserve that team. (or any team really) However, if you like watching baseball they are orders of magnitude better than Yankees or Sawks. They play the game so well. So smart.
I have a shit book offering +285 on Giants NL Champs. If you can get +330 or above I’d throw a few shekels on that. Public is funding these odds but the books steal on these futures
Not sure if I mentioned it before, but I play OOTP (out of the park) Baseball pc game. Its a text based GM simulator. I run my team almost exactly like the Rays do in real life. Draft well and develop, sign international FA's every year, keep the major league roster at like 75% pre-arb players, trade guys once they are approaching free agency.Florida doesn’t deserve that team.

Its almost a cheat code in the game, and as we can see, in real life as well.
Text based simulator. You just skipped several levels in the sports nerd ratings. Gonna have reread all your posts now.
Do you need some Robux til payday?
I'm going to have to get this. Is it an app, a PC game, or a website?Not sure if I mentioned it before, but I play OOTP (out of the park) Baseball pc game. Its a text based GM simulator.

But yeah it's pretty amazing how long it took for baseball to discover that most high priced free agents are going to be a bust, and that most decline badly after 30. There are a few who buck that trend, but not enough to change the above strategy.
They really need to redo the way baseball compensation works. I understand that all teams waste a ton of money on signing bonuses and development on players who never make MLB, so giving them cheap years of developed superstars compensates for that. However, there has really has to be better compensation for the great pre-arb guys, and fewer big/medium contracts for the free agents.
Good news.
The idiotic rule about the extra innings runner on 2nd has been killed. It will not be part of the playoffs, and will not be here in 2022.

There is a new one every Feb-March. Kind of like Madden and other sports games. Just google "OOTP 23" come February. It is PC only, AFAIK, and available on steam.
Guess who is back?
I always hated the "walking around and breathing heavily while talking" format of YouTube content.
I guess Trevor already getting ready for the self-publishing baseball analyst phase of his career.
Boy the Dodgers looked bad in the top of the 1st. Surprised they got out with just 1 run allowed.
Maybe nerves will settle down now.
That broken bat DP with the bases loaded was a killer. Super lucky for Wainwright and the Cardinals.
Now both pitchers have their counts run up though.
Dodgers continue to suffer from the bases loaded curse.
The ginger got you right back into it
I kinda cringed when it was Joe Kelly time with 1st and 2nd, 1 out. However, he's pitched really well lately, and he continued to pitch well here. So good move, Roberts.
Now Dodgers need to score some runs. Not sure how 40-year-old Wainwright got revitalized in the 5th after looking kinda shaky prior to that, but here we are.
If they put in Kenlee Jansen in this close game…I will fly to LA and punch Dave Roberts in the balls
You doing carry on or checking your bags.
I was worried about Cowboy Joe West behind the plate I thought there might be theatrics.
Made me laugh. He’s called a good game.Joe West gets one last chance to ruin baseball before retirement. MLB's longest-standing umpire Joe West confirms that he's umpiring the NL Wild Card game on Wednesday

Mr Druff. I have the Dodgers run line. I would appreciate a 4 run bottom of the 7th so I’m not praying for a 2 run walkoff in an hour. I expect you to take care of this. Thank you in advance.
