Todd Frazier hit a foul ball that hit a young girl today. Hopefully she is ok, but it pisses me off when parents bring really young kids, let alone babies, to games and sit that close. It's time they have netting in every park. No excuses, MLB. It's time.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 03:49 PM) You're already giving the Astros the series over Boston? I'm not. Just a preference, not a prediction. Honestly, in either league, seeds 1-4 are worthy. If the LCSs have Red Sox, Yankees, and Cubs, I'm out.

Sox 60-90 Det 62-90 Go Astros.

Twins suck in NY no matter the roster. Can we just skip to Astros-Indians and Nationals-Dodgers and send everyone else home?

1-0, A's after 5 Tigers are something.

A's - Tigers - 12:10 Rockies- Giants - 2:45 Rockies only have a game lead on the Brewers.

Fangraphs thinks the Sox get the 1st pick. Sox 64-98 SF 64-98 Phi 65-97 Det 67-95 I don't agree, but it's interesting.

Tuesday: Won- Giants, Phillies, Padres, A's Lost- White Sox, Tigers, Mets, Reds, Pirates, Braves 12 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Giants(10) - 13 (-2.0 GB) 2. Phillies(11) - 13 (-1.5 GB) 3. White Sox(12) 4. Tigers(11) - 10 (+2.5 GA) 5. Mets(11) - 7 6. Reds(11) - 7 7. Pirates(10) - 4 8. Braves(13) - 6 9. Padres(11) - 5 10. A's(11) - 5

Nice test for Giolito. That lineup is no joke.

Monday: Won- Phillies, Padres, A's Lost- Tigers, Mets, Pirates 13 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Giants(11) - 15 (-3.0 GB) 2. Phillies(12) - 15 (-2.5 GB) 3. White Sox(13) 4. Tigers(12) - 11 (+2.5 GA) 5. Mets(12) - 8 6. Reds(12) - 8 7. Padres(12) - 7 8. A's(12) - 7 9. Pirates(11) - 5 10. Braves(14) - 7

Phillies beat Kershaw.

Altherr grand slam off Kershaw. 4-2 Phils, 6th.

I'm going to trust the Tigers to go 4-9. If the Sox go 6-7, they'll hang on to the 3rd pick. Big split in Detroit this past weekend. Needed that.

Sox 3-10 SF 5-6 Phi 6-7 First pick, baby! (Probably not happening)

Looks like the Reds quietly claimed him off waivers this weekend. The Sox also outrighted the catcher, Gonzalez to AA. 40-man at 38.

Twins with a 2 game lead on the Angels with 13 left. Twins-- 3 at NY 4 at Det off 3 at Cle 3 vs Det Angels-- off 3 vs Cle 3 at Hou 4 at Sox 3 vs Sea If they tie, the game is in Minnesota.

Sunday: Won- Giants, Tigers, Mets, Reds, A's, Padres Lost- Phillies, White Sox, Braves, Pirates 14 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Giants(11) - 15 (-3.0 GB) 2. Phillies(13) - 16 (-3.0 GB) 3. White Sox(13) 4. Tigers(13) - 11 (+3.0 GA) 5. Mets(13) - 8 6. Reds(12) - 8 7. Padres(13) - 8 8. A's(13) - 8 9. Braves(14) - 7 10. Pirates(12) - 5

After 2-0, he shouldn't have given him anything to hit.

Twins lose, Angels win 1 game lead for the Twins with 14 left.

Saturday: Won- Phillies, White Sox, Reds, Mets Lost- Giants, Tigers, A's, Padres, Braves, Pirates 15 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Giants(12) - 17 (-4.0 GB) 2. Phillies(14) - 17 (-3.0 GB) 3. White Sox(14) 4. Tigers(14) - 13 (+2.0 GA) 5. Mets(14) - 10 6. Reds(13) - 10 7. Padres(14) - 10 8. A's(14) - 10 9. Braves(15) - 8 10. Pirates(13) - 6

Better than the alternative, but always be aware of September baseball. It's not always what it seems.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 16, 2017 -> 03:44 PM) I foresee at least 5 losses for LAA and at least 5 wins for MIN, which would mean the Angels would have to go 9-1 and the Twins would have to go 1-9 for LAA to catch them. That thing's over. You think the Twins are going to NY and sweeping them? Bold. I could see the Twins going 7-8 and the Angels going 9-6 for the tie at 84-78, but the Twins should win this 75% of the time.

Mariners are on their way to a loss and under .500. Twins with a 2 game lead on the Angels with 15 left. Twins-- 2 vs Tor 3 at NY 4 at Det 3 at Cle 3 vs Det Angels-- 2 vs Tex 3 vs Cle 3 at Hou 4 at Sox 3 vs Sea If they tie, the game is in Minnesota.

Friday: Won- Tigers, Reds, A's, Braves Lost- Giants, Phillies, White Sox, Mets, Padres, Pirates 16 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Giants(13) - 17 (-3.0 GB) 2. Phillies(15) - 18 (-3.0 GB) 3. White Sox(15) 4. Tigers(15) - 13 (+3.0 GA) 5. Mets(15) - 11 6. Reds(14) - 11 7. Padres(15) - 10 8. A's(15) - 10 9. Braves(16) - 8 10. Pirates(14) - 6

A's beat the Phillies. Reds won. Good day to firm up 3rd.
