of course. How do you miss that?

Man, so crazy when a guy like Heuer comes up. Someone you kinda know but never follow bullpen stats in the minors then this dude is throwing 97 to the top right corner and making dudes look foolish in the 8th inning of a game that may decide the division. Baseball man!

YES YES YES YES YES YES

Holy crap that whole time I was thinking " man he's going kinda slow" but I never expected to see Jose a step PAST the bag!

Not a big deal, Dyson can steal now and TA will single.

well I was wrong.

hell yeah. Pitchers gonna be all distracted and Nickname Madrigal is gonna go yard.

This is the inning. I swear to God Madrigal is going yard this time, right field just into the bullpen bar whatever it's called now

had we started keuchel today, I'd have been a bit down we didn't get 3-1. But it's a 3-2 game in the 7th in a Lopez-Maeda matchup so yeah I'll take it.

Yeah so January or something is still ahead of where it looked in March. I think, realistically we should be rooting for Moderna to have a successful vaccine, right (even if not first)? mRNA seems like a huge breakthrough to finally work and scale vaccines faster in the future.

So Rosenthal's article made it seem like this was not manfreds intention (16 game explicitly), I don't have the WAPO to read the actual article. Felt a little better after his, basically yes it's likely playoffs expand, but didn't mean this specific iteration would.

This whole vaccine debate. I don't know. I think it's too abstract right now. Will I take "a vaccine" that arrives before election day? Probably not. But if, you know, astrozeneca or moderna or J&J publish their clinical trials and it looks good and you can get it in december or so, yes I'd get it. They should have been able to pull off huge, relevant trials due unfortunately to how prevalent covid still was in US and other areas.

The problem though is "Mazara not able to take his approach into games" has been the issue throughout his career from reading Rangers reports on him. It's not that he doesn't work hard, he just can't translate it.

They might cut ties because of his career at this point. They were buying a project, it didn't work out. He's not just in a slump, this is unplayable. This slashline is like@Harold's Leg Lift having a wet dream about Madrigal failing.

I’m done looking for “signs” for him. His production during a slump is beyond unplayable.

Shocking.

Whoa he hit something hard

I’m a bigger fan of signing odorizzi this offseason than I was last.

It’s not a blood born virus Benetti

Gross

I’d rather it go toward a good right fielder

I don't know if it's "teams won't be willing to break bank in a world where 100 wins doesn't matter", but you could tell the chance for more teams to make the playoffs (giants, reds, etc) made deadline acquisitions more expensive. That may cut down on win totals a bit.

Tonight could be the night.

I don't mind expanding but the 8 team set-up per league sucks, it needs to be just like football. These best of 3 series are too dumb and there is too little advantage to being good. Here's what the MLB needs to do and they know it: - Add 2 new teams, 1 per league - Create a new division per league, 4 teams each 4 division winners + 2 wild cards Top 2 teams get a bye 1st round - Best of 5 (3) division team + (6) wildcard, (4) division team + (5) wildcard DS - Best of 5 (1) Division team + (winner of 4/5) CS - Best of 7 WS - Best of 7 Use the new 7 inning double headers to start in late september or cut schedule to 154 games.

Exactly right
