Well maybe we can help keep Toronto out of the playoffs and get Seattle in.

If Seattle wins the next two and Boston loses the next two, Seattle would be in the playoffs with a negative run differential. I hope Boston doesnt make it in.

I’m rooting for the 4-team wild card tie scenario, or at least a 3-team tie.   Yankees lost today, so, it’s still a possibility.  

[George Zuverink]

Well, we lost today and AZ up 6-1 in the 3rd. Exciting!

Its looking like it comes down to the very last game, but im still not hopeful AZ can win two straight. Foolishly assuming they can hold onto the lead again tonight. Would be something else if they win again tomorrow and O's lose. 

[O's84]

11-2 ARZ in the 8th.

[Frobby]

DBacks won, teasing us going into the final game.   They still control whether they hold on to the no. 1 pick.  That game they blew on Friday looms large now.

O’s and Dbacks start their games at the same time today. I’m imagining a 2011-like season finish, except it’s a battle for the basement.

@Sports Guy, what should we look for from German Marquez today?

[Sports Guy]

Hopefully the same he has been doing lately…stinking it up.  

Usually, he’s a GB pitcher that gets a good amount of Ks.  

BTw, speaking of the Rockies, they just gave the GM job to the guy who was the interim GM at the deadline..when they held onto everyone despite having guys who are pending FAs.  That organization is in a lot of trouble.

Are we dealing Hays for Marquez after the World Series?    Mullins?

Garrett Hampson faking it as "Rockies CF" this year, but middle infield will open back up as Story departs.

If the league feels Hays is also a true CF, well, we know everybody has to find where the opportunities are.

The Marlins are talking publicly about adding hitters. There was speculation about Marlins talks for Mullins at the deadline. If Mullins gets traded, Miami might make sense. They've got plenty of young pitching.

Arizona down 3-0 in the 4th..figure they pack it in but we’ll see.

[Just Regular]

Scroll just said Money Line was COL -1250 up 4-1 in 7th inning if anyone wants to wipe away #1 pick frustration trying to I guess bolster ventured money by about 7%.

Or being very mad Orioles get #1 pick...

[Moose Milligan]

Well we're certainly not coming back on the Jays.  And the Diamondbacks are down 3 in the 7th.  Looks like we're gonna get the #2 pick.

[Just Regular]

DBacks will have middle of order bottom 8th - Varsho, Kole Calhoun and Christian Walker.

They did get one in 7th to make it 4-2 game.
