Orioles win; Yankees lose


wildcard

Recommended Posts

From Reddit, r/baseball:

Quote

The Seattle Mariners need to win 2 games to eliminate the Yankees from the postseason, reaching 86 wins that the Yankees cannot. The Astros need to win one more game to get to 86 wins, which the Yankees can also no longer achieve, eliminating them. Since they are both playing one another, in 2 games, one of these results has to happen, meaning no matter what, the Yankees are eliminated from the playoffs.

MLB still has them not eliminated with their elimination number as 1 for the Wildcard. 

Amazingly, MLB.com fails to consider tie-breakers in their E# calculations.  They have intentionally decided to be incorrect.  They show the Rays' E# to be 4, rather than the correct number of 3.  Stupid.

MLB will respond to NYY and BOS missing the postseason by adding 4 more Wild Cards

This thread should never be used until there is a final score, and the Yankees lose.

Preferably it shouldn't be bumped until there are two final scores imo.

    • And McCann is our worst RHB facing a dominant lefty with reverse splits. You have to think a K is a high likelihood.  And then to send him up there with Ramon on 3rd, you have to expect the same outcome.
    • I don't like hearing that a catcher has a back issue -no matter how big or how small it is- at age 26.  
    • IMO he made two decisions that were clearly wrong, pitching to Witt and not PR Holliday, to go along with a couple others I didn’t agree with but are certainly debatable. There is no doubt that the game was lost because the bats couldn’t push a run across, but everyone has a job to do, and like the batters, Hyde didn’t do his.
    • I use the StatCast search function. It’s a little more complicated for chase rate, ground ball rate, popup rate, and sweet spot rate because you need to adjust selected pitch attributes/outcomes as well as total pitch definition and then use % of pitches. I believe popups are categorized by stringers and generally capture balls that an infielder could catch.  I believe Adley’s fly balls have gotten can of cornier even without the popups.
    • ...or simply choose not to even attempt to play situational baseball.  As I posted in another thread, 0-0 game both teams aces are dealing.  Ced leads off the inning with a double.  Your #9 hitter (McCann) is coming to the plate with your two best hitters (Gunnar and Westburg) to follow. Instead of bunting Ced to 3rd and almost assuring yourself a 1-0 lead which firmly puts the pressure on KC, Hyde chooses to let McCann swing away.  He feebly strikes out, Gunnar grounds out (there was your run), and Westburg flies out.  0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors. 1 left on....
    • Adley - Is it an injury? Is it a woman? Is it the "process?" Is it just who he is at his age? What Is It? And no, I'm not doing a pole. Wait till 2025 for the answer - I think. Till then - speculate. This off season goin be fun on here. This thread kinda makes me miss Rick Dempsey and I have absolutely no idea why. 😄 Oh yea, he was our last WSMVP.
    • Hasn't he had a girlfriend for a long time? And she's just now a distraction?
