That's a good idea. As others said above, I'm a little concerned about the starters getting too many days off and getting out of rhythm.

Wouldn’t that just put even more innings on a bullpen that was near exhaustion just two days ago?  Maybe if they brought Zimmerman and Irvin up to go along with Bradish and GrayRod.  If the starters continue to go deep they could always do a full bullpen game as well just to get everyone an inning or so.  
 

I do enjoy reading that one of the concerns is getting a bye and two much rest.

I don’t think I’ve fully wrapped my head around how impressive it really is that the Os are four games up on the Rays after the way the Rays started the season, and how well they’ve been playing recen

My wish is for Tampa Bay and Texas to have a wonderful, competitive 3 game series that results in a Texas win in game 3, a 21 inning 24-23 thriller.

No wonder you are so angry.  If they win 105 and we win 104 it is time to tip your hat to Tampa.

Yeah just relieve them with Flaherty/Irvin/Zimmerman/whoever.

With TOR gaining some breathing room on the Western teams, it looks like a pretty fair chance that Rays vs. Jays happening in 2 out of 3 series to close the regular season will grow to 3 out of 4 in the AL4 v. AL5 matchup.

If those positions become locked by Friday night in Canada, we may see a pretty casual 3 games from those 2 teams.

If the Nats were to win... we would be 2 games back of Atlanta for best record in baseball but they have the tiebreak.   So to get home field advantage in a potential Baltimore/Atlanta World Series, we would have to pick up 3 games on them, say by going 5-1 vs Wash&Bos while they went 2-4 vs Cubs and Nats.

Not particularly likely.   Home field advantage in a possible Orioles/Dodgers 1966 rematch World Series, however, is still very much in play.   

We have clinched home field advantage in any World Series against the NL Central winner or an NL wild card team.

Fangraphs thinks that the Lowe injury might have been the straw that broke the camel's back, as they've completely tanked their projections for Tampa since the injury.  Their chance to win the WS went from over 7% to less than 2%, while Toronto's has gone up quite a bit.

Might tank a bit more if Diaz's hamstring tightness they pulled him for today becomes a real thing.

Thanks to a rain-shortened game, Mike Clevinger today threw a complete game with 0 strikeouts and 0 walks.....I'm gonna guess its been a minute since that has happened.

No idea if this is the most recent but I remembered this one and did a little digging to find it...

Doesn't the NL have WS home advantage because they won the All Star game?  That was one of the rule changes a few years ago.

      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.
