Sox drop to 5th.

 

Need Reds win/Sox loss tomorrow.

Yup. Doesn't matter what the Phillies do now. Sox are guaranteed 4th or 5th tomorrow.

Hooray meaningless wins.

good job guys, get that lesser of a pick!

 

we had top 3 in the bag... THE BAG

Hooray meaningless wins.

 

Fitting Fulmer gets the win

Hooray meaningless wins.

 

Well Carson Fulmer did impress again. If he carries this in to next year, then ok. But I'm guessing after playing a big part in ruining our draft pick, he will resume getting shellacked more often than not next year.

Considering we're up against Kubler today - I'm hoping for a 3 - 1 loss.

Of course, we WIN the god damned game because... baseball.

 

Figures.

 

Instead of having a chance at #3 - we're at #5 now and have to lose tomorrow while getting a Reds win.

 

So if both Sox and CIN win tomorrow, who gets the better pick and why.

Reds because they were worse in 2016

I watched the Cubs/Reds game today. The Reds are a team that has mailed it in. Their RF apparently can't afford working sunglasses. Their catcher can't block or catch pitches. It was a 'bad news bears' type display. They're not going to beat the Cubs tomorrow. The Sox will be picking 5th.

At least the Phillies are gonna end up losing tonight. That brings my "discontent level" down to a 6.

 

Edit: Please Baseball Gods - my prayers this season have rarely been answered... but please... please... please... PLEASE have the White Sox lose tomorrow while making the Reds somehow miraculously beat the Cubs.

1. Giants 63-98 (Det-1)

2. Tigers 64-97 (SF-2, Phi-1)

3. Phillies 65-96 (Det-2)

4. Reds 67-94 (Sox-1)

5. White Sox 67-94 (Cin-2)

 

Mets are 6th. If they win and Padres and Braves lose, they go from 6th to 8th. That would piss me off more than what is happening to the Sox.

Look at the bright side. This should be the last thread if it's kind for a long time.

That was the idea behind getting the top pick...

Someone may have answered this question: If there is a tie in the standings, how is it decided?

They said it's whoever is worse in 2016 gets better pick

If it rains all day in Minnesota, it may help the Giants and hurt the Phillies..

So Reds own tiebreaker. Looks like 5th pick

Yeah the Sox are picking 5th, unless both the Cubs and Sox lose today.

Hahn is on the Score at 11.

 

He'll say the draft is deep and he's happy about the winning, but there's no way they don't wish they lost a few more, or aren't pissed the Tigers tanked that bad over the last couple months.

The Sox had the 4th pick at the All-Star Break.

 

Every Sunday after:
