September MLB Thread

[DeadlySplitter]

Tarp is back on the field, I can't imagine they will let the Marlins hang around much longer?

Oh actually they might have to come back and finish it on Monday if it matters:

The first parenthetical under (5) would seem to make this not applicable to Mia-NYM.

Mets/Marlins officially suspended now.

MLB has to announce what’s going on here, no one seems to know for sure.

I dunno, it takes 30+ minutes usually to get a field ready from fully tarped. I don't think they were getting anything else in tonight and not really the Mets' fault.

The Marlins were already pissed coming into this game, because the Mets didn't take proper precautions (tarp etc) during the previous torrential rain earlier this week, because they were on the road. So Tuesday's game had to be cancelled and moved to a doubleheader on Wednesday, which messed up Miami's pitching plans for this weekend.

 

[Max Power]

It would be incredible if the Cubs, Marlins, and Reds were all swept this weekend and the resumed game was to eliminate the Padres.

 

[AB in DC]

Miami with their 33rd one-run victory (33-13), which has gotta be close a record, finally eliminates the Padres.

edit: Apparently the 1970 Os were 40-15.

[NYCSox]

Said this a number of times but thank God the Sox avoided the Rodon disaster.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The Cubs are torturing their fans.

 

[NYCSox]

Marlins have the tiebreaker I believe. This race is over.

 

[LogansDad]

Mariners may be righting the ship a couple days too late.

Rangers 89-71
Blue Jays 89-71
Astros 88-72
Mariners 87-73

Astros get a fairly lucky win on paper, Urquidy is not good this year but Arizona let him go six scoreless. Rangers are at pretty high risk of losing the division.

====================

D-backs 84-76
Marlins 83-76
Reds 82-78
Cubs 82-78

With the Marlins having all those tiebreakers, they are actually fairly comfortable right now - Cubs suddenly have an elimination number of 1, too. One thing of note: Reds win the tiebreaker over D-backs if they tie at 84-78. Step 1 was completed tonight.

 

[stp130]

Can anyone smarter than me lay out a scenario where the Mariners make the playoffs, either as Div. Winner or WC?

 

[shawnrbu]

JD Martinez with his 1,000th career RBI tonight. 33 HR/103 RBI season in 111 games played.

Freddie Freeman with his 59th double.

Ignoring the Jays seems a little strange, given that they are not a lock to make it. Although I believe for all three West teams to make it, the Jays have to lose both of their remaining games, Seattle finishes off the sweep, and Houston has to win at least one.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

To put it simply, Toronto's magic number is 1. Every remaining game would have to go against them for a scenario where they miss the playoffs. Depending on what model you look at, they are 94.8%+ to reach the postseason.

Tigers doing Miggy's sendoff today.

They've got the MLB landscape to themselves right now. It's still two hours before any other games are scheduled to start. Lets Miggy get the attention he deserves.

Oh for sure. Wasn't trying to be snide or anything, just letting people know.

Edit: Realize now I wasn't terribly clear, it's on right now.

Didn't think you were being snide. Just adding a little color.

I was actually coming to the thread to bemoan the fact that there are only two games scheduled this afternoon. But now I wonder if MLB didn't do that intentionally so everyone could watch this live.

 

[NYCSox]

Heaney today and Bradford Sunday against Castillo and Kirby. I think the Rangers are going to choke this one away.

“ On Saturday, Baltimore general manager Mike Elias announced that Bautista is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery, which is expected to sideline the All-Star closer until the start of the 2025 campaign. ”

[Max Power]

The Blue Jays are doing Blue Jay things. They gave up 3 in the 10th and are on their way to needing help from Seattle or to win tomorrow with a gassed Romano and Hicks. They always find a way to underachieve.

 

[stp130]

AL West/WC race is simply sensational right now. Smart move by MLB to move to the format.

This is really shitty news.

Mariners looking pretty willing to help them out at the moment

 

[DeadlySplitter]

There's not going to be much drama tomorrow at this rate.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

The Cubs collapse is just a shame.

 

[axx]

Marlins took the lead. I think if they hold on, that eliminates the Cubs and the Reds will be eliminated once their game goes final.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Is Seattle out with a loss?

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

The Cubs collapse was just glorious. They can go another 108 years without a championship. It's a shame the Reds wilted down the stretch though.

Completely glorious. Shockingly, the idiot fans were actually cocky about a month ago. Oops.

 

[LogansDad]

Is Seattle out with a loss?

They went 9-4 against Houston so I think they have the tiebreak, should Houston lose out. But, Houston is currently winning.

 

[soxhop411]

The Marlins are in. The Cubs are out. 92% chance for Chicago on Sept. 6, according to FanGraphs, to 0.

I think the Reds will be back in the mix very soon. Not so sure about the Cubs.

 

[LogansDad]

Ketel Marte just had maybe the worst at bat I have ever seen with 1 out and the bases loaded for Arizona.

 

[LogansDad]

And Arizona fails to score.

Mariners are in deep, deep trouble.

 

[LogansDad]

Rangers win. Clinch at least a Wild Card, as does Toronto.

All down to what happens in Houston now.

 

[LogansDad]

D-Backs get a lead off walk in the 8th, bad bunt into a force out, then a double play. It's like they hate the Mariners.

 

[LogansDad]

7-8-9 in the D-Backs order coming up in the 9th to try to save the Mariners' season.

 

[AB in DC]

I'd say the D-Backs are like the least deserving wild card team ever, except that Marlins still exist.

 

[Ale Xander]

I'd say the D-Backs are like the least deserving wild card team ever, except that Marlins still exist.

Well they've actually won a WS in the last 25 years. They're no Mariners.

 

[LogansDad]

Over. No meaningful baseball tomorrow.

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Houston and Texas still fighting for bye, right? That is huge.
