Minnesota is starting a tough ace.

Tomorrow will be tougher than today.

It happens. He's a rookie and adjustments will need to be made. Those pitches look like cookies on TV but to a batter if may be different.

It was some exaggeration there for sure. But Gio is a number 2 or 3 on a consistent top 5 team.

If we want to win the division, gonna have to win tomorrow. Avoid being 1 game up and losing the tie breaker.

Law of averages. Can't win em all or always look good.

Significant.

There's a better chance of them bringing my dad in.

There is nothing that EE does better than McCann. Especially since he is hitting for power as well.

Teams have to fly to Cali and get tested before next round of games. After these tests, you can keep playing as no one will get Covid on the bubble.

I think he is talking about average teams. A team can win 81 and make the playoffs, why try for 90? To get around this, divison winners get byes. Let the others fight for HFA.

This is why you give division winners byes. The other teams can fight for HFA in the first segment of the playoffs.

If you look at the standings, teams are actually trying and there isn't this large amount of under .500 unworthy teams. The quality of baseball has improved significantly. Now, if you do this, top 3 seeds should get byes and the other seeds play a winner takes all tournament for the 4th seed.

Elite-O, Dk, Dunning Then you have Rodon, Cease, Reylo, Gio G, and Stiever for clean up innings and start game 4's.

I agree with this, I just think the above was their logic. The real crime is not giving higher seeds an advantage after the best of three.

They are viewing 7 and 8 as wild cards, so they will be bottom seeded. Like a wild card with 104 wins would be the lowest seed in the real playoff field. The top two in each division are auto bids since the divisions don't play each other to determine who is best. Thus, each division must have fair representation and you cannot assume a third place team is better than any second place team in another division, even with a better record.

Don't worry, Houston will get healthy and be formidable come playoff time. Every team in the bracket looks scary on paper except the Jays. And even they have some talented bats.

Great job boys and Ricky tonight. I loved leaving Dunning in.

Great job Ricky leaving him in. The kid needs to build that confidence and we need a starter to go 7 for once.

Yeah that was a breath holding moment.

Damn.

Cave Ruth not playing? There's a chance!

So Ricky doesn't make the call to bring in Dyson for Eloy? He also has no say in starting McCann against Berrios? I know these days the front office influences a lot of decisions, but o think Ricky has more leeway than people think.
