12:10 start on Saturday

Funny line, but I don't think Francona would want to be standing anywhere near Plesac.

I’d say that too, but would they just go by everyone’s winning percentage at the end, and some teams play 54, some 57, some 60? Because just forfeiting their games isn’t fair either. At this point, the Cardinals may just have to try to squeeze in 50 games, and MLB may have to make a decision on their postseason eligibility on how they would qualify.

By record, the Sox are top 8. By playoff format, the Sox aren’t in the playoffs because head-to-head with Cleveland. The Rangers would be the 6-seed with an 8-9 record.

I’ll answer my own question. 2nd place teams are seeded 4, 5, and 6. Another mistake by MLB.

Are the 2nd place teams getting seeded 4-5-6 no matter what, or is it just record past 3, but must include 2nd place teams?

Correct. There is no “.400 Watch” this season.

The Sox traded a future Hall of Famer when he was 17. It’s mostly funny. Sox need to play in back to back ALCSs or win a World Series in the next 4-5 years to make this topic go away.

Only team in the division to win today.

Hopefully two days off will do Yoan some good. Good game. Some nice pitching.

Game is on FS1 also

Having a hard time taking this season seriously, but if it’s really a big game, then it’s a must win. Tomorrow too.

Give me a break. He’s a veteran pitcher on a young team. He has the right to say whatever he wants.

Could be a streaky team. Bottom line, they went 8-7 the first 15. If they do that three more times, they’re in the playoffs. But it’s looking ugly right now, and the injuries don’t help. Is Bummer supposed to be back after 10 days?

Not pretending to be a hitting coach, but I wish Eloy had a more upright stance...and he tucked his pocket in his pants.

They’ll play. Games are suspended at any point (before it’s official) this season too. They would resume tomorrow.

Well, that sucked.

Short delay. It’ll be done soon.

Short delay, Matty V.

Beautiful swing and approach by Yo.

Bad rule, but I’ll trade the 3-batter rule for embracing starting pitching. So the rule would be if you start a game, you’re ineligible to pitch the next four days after.

They probably will check them out in the morning at home. If they have to make roster moves, well, they’re in Schaumburg.

I’m calling that a 2-game sweep. Sweep!!

I really don’t want to see the man on 2nd stuff tonight, so get three outs.
