On the 3-year anniversary of one of the most exciting last days of the regular season ever (complete with a memorable comeback against the Red Sox that arguably propelled our beloved O's to three straight winning seasons and counting), a very exciting day of Game 162s is on tap.

In the AL, the Tigers (who some on this board paint as invincible) look to avoid losing a series to the last-place Twins and finally lock up the AL central. If they lose, the Royals have a chanc‎e to force Game 163 with a win over the White Sox.

Elsewhere, the A's look to avoid a complete collapse by clinching the 2nd WC spot. The Rangers, who have been a bit like the 2011 O's this Sept, look to continue being a thorn in Oakland's side. With an A's loss, the Mariners (with King Felix on the mound) can force a Game 163 with a win over the Angels‎.

In the NL, the Pirates look to win an early game over the Reds. With a win, the pressure will be on the Cards to beat the D'backs to avoid a Game 163.

All this, plus what should be an entertaining bullpen/3B tryout day for the O's, makes for an exciting Sunday in baseball!

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.

      My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
