astros tied it up, fuck

Mariners had the bases loaded in the bottom of the 1st with 1 out and blew it

Mariners off to a good start in their bottom half, 2 on in scoring position and 1 out

there we go

this bullpen just does enough to sour the mood eh?

This umps been pretty bad

Ugh why Ruiz come on

Bummer - Kimbrel - Hendricks lets go

Looks like the Yankees will make the playoffs afterall

Man Lopez looks good, hoping hes our #5 next year.

100%, if they expand to more playoff teams they might as well shorten the season to 100 games or so because it would be the most drawn out, boring thing in this game.

Eloys ball? He gave up on it very early

the GIDP King

Sox dugout is LOUD and fired up, love it

He has been doing very well, I second the game 1 choice. I will also add that his numbers against the Astros are very very good.

a Kimbrel ER just flew over my house

This Bears game is just brutal, glad Giolito is making today a little better.

agreed!

at this point i really hope Giolito is our game 1 starter

I feel weird saying this but Leury is my starting 2B in the playoffs

that sun has to be brutal

i like robert leading off more

Just thinking about next years hopeful lineup: Robert Semien Abreu Grandal Jimenez Moncada Anderson Vaughn Sheets

Cesar Hernandez has power and hes a dogshit sub 700 OPS hitter. Cronenworth was a reserve for the NL and his stats are not that much better than Madrigal, so i dont see why being an allstar is out of reach. I guess you see Madrigal as having reached his ceiling and potential already while I see more room to grow (in all fields). Madrigals last 15 games since changing his hitting approach (less contact more power): .545 slugging (no i dont think thats what he is, but he can develop into a respectable .450+ guy). I do agree with you though that the injuries are concerning, so the trade will hinge on that and Kimbrel's playoff presence.

He was a rookie and his defense was improving. Everyone else gets a pass during the first couple of years but not Madrigal. His first year was his ceiling to most people for whatever reason. The Cubs had the choice between him and Crochet and wisely chose Madrigal. He is going to be an allstar for years to come.
