From the Baltimore Banner: "A source with knowledge of the situation said it was Fuller’s decision to depart Baltimore."
-
Yes. But no ghost runner in extra innings.
-
Yes, I think there's a good likelihood that's being considered, especially since Hyde keeps saying that they won't announce the game 2 starter until they see what happens today.
-
Davidson's contract was selected. Matt Bowman starting (opening?) tonight. Bryan Baker optioned.
-
Good point. Also, that DH on Monday could cause havoc with the NL wild card race. Arizona may not know if they're in the playoffs (or who or where they're playing) until after the DH ends on Monday, less than 24 hours before the start of the WC series.
-
I'm not Tony, but Roch just wrote this in his latest blog post: "A “bullpen game” on Sunday isn’t ideal with a possible Game 1 two days later. A possible solution is calling up a pitcher to handle bulk innings and optioning him afterward. Trevor Rogers and Chayce McDermott fit the description and there are a few others."
-
Current forecast for Atlanta shows the rain ending by lunchtime Friday, so the 3 games beginning Friday night should hopefully be OK.
-
CLE is only 1.5 games behind NYY for the #1 seed, so we could potentially play CLE in the ALDS. CLE plays the Reds tonight and then plays the Astros who have already clinched their division.
-
Skubal's next scheduled start would be this Sunday against the White Sox, so if that game matters to the Tigers by that point, maybe we would miss out on Skubal again. Not that that helped us the past 2 weekends, of course.
-
Brieske does well as a closer and also as an opener. Yes, the Tigers' pitching staff is quite impressive, especially since most of their pitchers are basically no-names.
-
After tonight's game in Boston, the Twins have a 3-game series against the Marlins, so you're correct that they may not keep losing.
-
This is from the Baltimore Sun beat reporter: "Baltimore's magic number is three. A Twins loss tonight drops the Orioles' magic number to two. Baltimore could then clinch Tuesday with a win and a Twins loss. A Minnesota win tonight means the earliest Baltimore can clinch is Wednesday." The Twins & Red Sox are currently scoreless in the 4th inning.
-
Update: maybe I'm wrong about that. Roch and other beat reporters are saying the O's can't clinch until Tuesday.
-
With SEA losing, the O's can clinch tomorrow on their off day.
-
O's just announced that Johnson & Soto are going down, Urias & Westburg reinstated. I expect that Jimenez will be DFA'd when Mountcastle returns.
