Detroit was around 1.5 million that year. Ranked 25th, White Sox 23rd in their key rebuild year before 2020.

6 the Number of divisions (aka, every single one of them!) in which a first-place team has blown a lead of at least 5 1/2 games. According to Elias, this has never happened before in the six-division era, which dates back to 1994. The Yankees were as many as eight games up in the AL East before the Blue Jays caught them. The Mets were 5 1/2 games up in the NL East before the Phillies caught them. The Cubs were 6 1/2 games up in the NL Central before the Brewers caught them. The Astros were seven up in the AL West before the Mariners caught them. The Dodgers were nine up in the NL West before the Padres caught them (though the Dodgers have since recovered). And most astonishing of all, the Tigers were a season-high 15 1/2 up in the AL Central at one point, but they finally got caught by the Guardians on Tuesday night. mlb.com

DBacks have almost 20 different players with a save this year but likely come up just short making post season.

But it made 7/15 games last night important for teams and their fanbases. Much better than the NBA with their newly-revised playoff system. NFL can do whatever they want and people will just eat it up.

The Dodgers spent $111 million on Treinen Scott Yates alone. Are just 1 1/2 games up on SD in the final week and headed for low 90s in wins when they were supposed to be the best team in baseball history. Michael Conforto? If the Mets sneak in and beat the Dodgers in the NLDS, all will be forgiven.

It has the last 2-3 weeks. Most of his runs surrendered in a handful of blow-ups.

Roberts still prefers Treinen over Scott and Yates.. Sheehan and Kershaw to the pen...at least Clayton out of respect in his final season. He has earned that spot. Sasaki will try this final week, beginning tmrw. Kopech might also return.

The city is a lot more concerned about the Cubs' recent slide and Kyle Tucker's health...along with PCA's slumping second half.

Looks like the Astros about to fall one game behind both CLE and Detroit...five to go. Altuve and Correa still getting booed at that minor league park years later for garbage can banging scandal.

Busch went too. No team has ever blown a 14 game lead. Congrats to the Tigers.

This is what Jerry Reinsdorf has done to all Sox fans...almost. Apathy.

Just expected NY to win there at home after Boston took 4-1 lead against Toronto.

See Genuine Progress thread. Basically it's Teel and Colson. Shane Smith and Vasil.

Forgot he even existed already. Ron Marinaccio was pitching somewhere yesterday lol.

And Bellinger kills lefties...

Cue Kitecrazy...

Taylor had money on NY there.

Has to be shorter RF and 2B combo in history. Why the hell did Taylor not dive for that?????????

Over-threw it. Have to feel for Smith yet again...

Venable looks like genius or idiot here.

Bellinger slumping recently but usually good against LHP this year. .356 ba vs LHP this year lol

Not like Wilson or Vasil are automatic surefire savings there. Eisert jus tight get out of it. Bellinger vs. Eisert.

Sigh...eventually talent/superior payroll wins. Except for Milwaukee and Cleveland.

Ummm...stack up those lineups and pitching staffs between Detroit and the Sox. They're in it in the Central until Skubal leaves as a Free Agent. Plus Twins Tigers Guardians all have the better farm systems as well.
