They are in a rain delay, so that didn't work.

Tiger game pushed to 1:05 to beat the weather.

Yeah:  Tigers are throwing Jordan Zimmerman on the last day of that albatross contract.   He has only 4.2 innings this year and hasn't had an ERA+ over 100 since 2015.   And these are the OPSs for the season of their starting lineup.  Wow.

.710, .519, .613, .091, .542, .623, .464, .585, .518.

At least it is a Royals game - they could be trying to limbo too, and theoretically could still "out-lose" the Tigers.   Zimmermann's heart should certainly be in this ala Costner in For Love of the Game.

It appears Alex Gordon is getting the pulled after going out to LF in the Top of the 2nd now - he has some family members in a skybox so it is a moment covid hasn't totally taken from him.

Zimmermann got pulled after the first inning.

Apparently he was serving as an opener.

How low could we go?

The lowest we could go is sixth. And the only way we could drop that low is if we win and Arizona loses. And right now Arizona is winning 5-0.

I can't swear to it as 2020 is the year the rules change all the time, but I think if the Brewers beat the Cardinals today to put both those teams there, and the Giants win to put three third-place NL teams at .500, then the Cardinals will have to play both their Tigers makeups tomorrow with motivation to reach 31-29 and stay out of whatever 30-30 alchemy decides the 7/8 seeds.

 

I thought I had heard earlier there would be no tiebreaker makeups this season. Anyone know for sure?

Yes, no tiebreak games.

No tiebreak games but they could make StLouis and Detroit makeup the two cancelled games to get to 60, then apply the tiebreak procedures.

Right now it appears St Louis is winning and Cincinnati losing, which would clinch 2nd in the NLC for SL.  Miami will be 2nd in the NLE.  One of those teams would be the #5 seed in the playoffs, one would be the #6.

Would they make SL and Det play two tomorrow just to determine seeding of two teams that are already in the playoffs?

Tigers are about to lose, Orioles are up against Buffalo, and Arizona is up big. 5th pick?

5th if we win.

[wildcard]

Tied for 5th with AZ.

[Can_of_corn]

Unless of course they change their minds.

Which I wouldn't expect but it is possible.

If rules follow previous years, our 2019 record being worse gives us 5th and them 6th.

Now that we have a higher pick than the Nationals, it wouldn't shock me at all to see them instigate a one time lottery.
