Warthogs lose 4-3

update: It would not be over if they call it tonight. They would suspend it with bases loaded, nobody out.

Tex 73-66 -- Min 72-67 1 LAA 70-69 3 Cle 69-70 4 TB 68-71 5 This weekend: Oak at Tex Min at Sox Hou at LAA Det at Cle Bos at TB

Brantley 2-run homer in the bottom of the 8th. 7-5 Indians. Not dead yet.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 08:49 PM) wouldn't they just call the game ??? Not sure, considering it's postseason. Rain delay.

4-1 in the 9th, two on, no out, and rain on the way. another walk, bases loaded pitching change. Hopefully they can suspend this until tomorrow if they have to.

Barnum double to lead off the 8th. Down 4-0.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 08:10 PM) How about we just call them WSD from now on? I'm calling them the Warthogs from now on. No hits through 7. Down 4-0.

No hits through 6.

No hits for the Dash through 5. down 2-0.

Almonte pitched over two walks and a Jake Peter error. No score after 1. This is a best-of-3 Carolina League semi-final, so a win advances them.

Rangers lost today. Yankees and Blue Jays rained out. Indians are the only other wildcard possible team to play tonight. Tex 73-66 -- Min 72-67 1 LAA 70-69 3 Cle 68-70 4.5 TB 68-71 5

Sloppy. Samardzija one and done.

Run into one, Flowers.

Joey Votto went crazy on an umpire. He'll be sitting a few.

Buehrle getting skipped on Saturday. Stroman starting. Getting a cortisone shot. Needs 4 starts of about 6.5 innings average to reach 200 for year 15. I hope he bounces back for the postseason. This could be it for him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 06:12 PM) As I said last night, this is a good thing for the organization. Means they have higher expectations from their starters next year than what Saladino would likely provide. He has all the makings of a utility player. Exactly. They're trying to figure out if they have anything with Olt...probably not, but we'll see. They know Saladino profiles as a utility guy. And at the same time, they want to know if they should give up on Davidson. Playing Olt the majority makes more sense.

Just a few observations, hoping they're a contending team next year. 10 of the first 13 on the road, including starting in Oakland. Hopefully that means they stay in Arizona through Saturday, and pair up with the D-backs on some exhibitions. They don't play the Tigers until June, and play all 19 games in the season series over 85 games total. Starting the second half on the West coast...that could pose a focus problem. Playing the Angels and Mariners, and immediately come home to face the Tigers, Cubs, and Twins. That's tough stuff. The final 2 weeks of the season aren't that bad. Phillies and Indians on the road. Rays and Twins at home. Could be worse. It's not a bad schedule for a team that intends to compete.

Barnum and MeeHowChessKey homer in the first. 3-0

This is awesome. Sox aren't all bad. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/641713921271955457

Pirates fans must be torn on who to root for in this game.

...and if Levine didn't like Ventura, he would be writing that he should go. Nothing is going to happen. Just have to accept that Jerry/Kenny/Rick/Buddy/Robin/Coop are going to be running this team to another non-playoff season. They can look at more empty seats next year.
