Big series (or as big as they can be in May)

Stanek-Chirinos/Sabathia

Snell/Tanaka

Morton/TBA (Either Chance Adams or Happ since he only threw 60 pitches on Thursday is my guess)


Winner of this series will be all alone in 1st place.

magic # 108 for the division to be eliminated its 105 for WC
Os is the same for division but 111 for WC:suds:

The Marlins need to go, horrible attendance, fire sales year after year and yet another year of pushing 100 losses.....This franchise needs to be taken off life support......

love Eduardo, but man does he fall apart towards the end of his outings. he shouldn't have come out given his pitch count to begin with though.

8 of the 9 Red Sox regulars have an OPS+ north of 110. Christian Vazquez has a 119 OPS+ and Moreland's slugging .574. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ after a slow start, the Sox are hitting .273/.372/.460 over the last 28 days.

the pitching's been awesome over the last month. 3.21 ERA (80 runs overall) in 213.1 innings over the last 28 days and they're averaging 11.1 K's per 9 IP.

Now a day later, that play looks even worse.
SI has labelled it the worst play in the history of MLB

Walk
HBP
Single
Intentional Walk
total brain collapse attempted Tag out with a force at any base (100% guaranteed to get 1 out and 99% 2 outs)
missed tag leads to panic weak throw to pull off the 1st basemen and take away the force at 1st
1st basemen attempts another rundown with easy outs still on the board (100% 1 out, and still 50% 2 outs)
panicked throw to home way too late after chasing runner inexplicably


7 year old little league t-ball players would be able to get at least one out and probably two.

I think your math is a little shoddy on those 2 out probabilities

But yeah the play was bad

Indeed.

And a special shout-out to whoever positioned those Rays outfielders in the bottom of the 9th.

I understood stood the position before maybin fc but with 2 outs left, the of playing shallow was odd

Looks like they'll get Paxton back at some point during the trip, maybe Stanton also.


Had anyone heard anything about Judge? I mean, we're getting Didi extended ST news, but not a peep about the big fella.
