9/18 @ Baltimore

[S5Dewey]

I meant for the postseason roster.

 

Do you feel any better now?? :-)

[Station 13]

This has to be frustrating for the Yankees. They keep winning and can't gain any ground on Boston.

 

Kinda makes you feel sorry for them doesn't it?

 

No? Hahahahaha

 

I kinda like them 1 game behind after the final regular season game. Just to mess up their psyche.

I have a couple Yanks fans in my office. I understand the frustration they must be feeling. Then I revel in it........... and then I talk crap and rub their faces in it....

[SoxHop]

That was a barn burner...........

[BstHcpr]

MLB f***ed up the scheduling so bad. Red Sox and Yankees should be playing the next two weekend series instead of earlier this month.

[Slasher9]

That game was AWESOME

[Slasher9]

If that had been Machado running to first base he'd have stepped on Moreland's hand. And then said, Who, me??

 

Hahaha. 100%

I would rather be picking up 3 easy wins against the Reds this weekend, while the Yankees fight to the death in Toronto

Something tells me we will have a 7 gamer with them in October

[moonslav59]

Leon too. When was the last time he drew a walk? Lol

 

His game before last.

 

Note: his BB% was equal to Bogey's before tonight's game, but 7.9% is pretty low. Then again, why does anyone ever walk Sandy?

[TylerD]

Huge win and huge performance from the offense! Love that we can win games like this when our pitching is off! Very entertaining game regardless of awful pitching lol.

There have been years they did that, and one ofu s was out of it by the time we played.

The Blue Jays are not much better than the Reds at this point, and you'll notice I mentioned the interests of MLB not the Boston Red Sox or some fanboy named Thunder.

More likely than not, both teams will be in the thick of a playoff race in a given year. MLB should schedule them the last two weekends every year.

That bullpen should play better in October, and Judge is waking up from that monster slump, but I don't see them upsetting the Guardians. I hope they do, though. It's been 13 years since those back to back ALCS' with them.

Maybe one.

 

I'm glad we're playing the 'Stros and O's and Reds.

THis was an impressive come from behind victory in a game that looked like an early blowout. Add to the comeback that they won the game in extra innings on the road. These are the type of games that good teams win. We don'twin these games as a function of the god of randomness. This team wants these games more than their opponents want them. They are a bunch of punchless little smurfs, but they are stubborn determined smurfs. Benintendi was not having a good AB when he got the game winning hit. He was out of sync in that AB, but he did just enough to get it in play and get a seeing eye base hit through the hole. It barely rolled into the OF, but it was a line drive in the Box Score.

[BstHcpr]

Reds are 39-36 at home, and we have to trot out Fister and Rodriguez. That series isn't going to be a cakewalk.

[d-money]

Great win tonight. We might have to sweep these guys. The twinkies always get owned by the stankees

What, pray tell, has been a cakewalk this season or even this month?

[Maxbialystock]

Just woke up to see the fantastic 11th in replay. Early in the game I said the Sox were basically dead, then saw the great rally and then the dinger by Bogie. Killer B's have been mainstays this season even in down years by all three. Plus JBJ of course.

 

What a bullpen! After Fister gave up 5 in 2 innings, they held the Oriole's to 2 ER's in 9 innings.

 

Sweet!

My kind of post! JBJ says this team has GRIT. I'm thinking that whatever it is, it exists. This isn't randomness, or a game of statistics dictating outcomes. This is a game of one team wanting something real bad. Addison Reed's comments this morning are worth the read. They have become a very interesting team to watch.

[Bellhorn04]

Quite a night for the Killer B's!

[oldtimer]

Even though JF managed his pitching staff like he too thought the game was lost early, the guys refused to lose. JF would up heavily using his BP anyway, and he usually does better with the pitching. Maybe the team attitude is getting to the point where they expect to win. A good thing.

[Slasher9]

this team wins in spite of JF. it's as simple as that....

[Youk Of The Nation]

Just watched the recap when I got home from work a few minutes ago. Excellent. Could have asked for better pitching in the beginning, but a win is a win, and the defensive highlights made this a great one. Two guys cut down at second in a tie game, by Bradley (of course) and Leon (!?). Betts certainly didn't look like his injury was bothering him, and holy s*** does he like hitting at Camden Yards.

[BstHcpr]

Lol probably the White Sox at Fenway.

[BstHcpr]

I like their chances with Berrios today against the guy who thinks pitchers should have a designated fielder.

[TylerD]

Maybe one.

 

I'm glad we're playing the 'Stros and O's and Reds.

 

With that said I am also glad if the season ended today we will likely play Houston. I want nothing to do with Cleveland in the first round lol.

[Thunder]

It's weird, because I've had the feeling all year, even back when Houston was almost as good as the Dodgers, that we would be able to handle them in the playoffs. I don't know what exactly makes me think that, but I feel good about Houston in the first round.
