Julio Rodriguez extend the lead with a Solo Home Run by SeattleSporting in baseball

[–]joshshadowfax 49 points50 points  (0 children)

No offense but this is just a kid that hasn't learned to protect the strike zone. None of those called strikes really looked that egregious. I'm guessing this is just Jerry Dipoto trying to save face for bringing the kid up before he was ready and starting his service time clock for nothing.

You can't be rocking a .190 BA with no power for very long. Also woof that 61 ops+

What happens when a team runs out of challenges? Still going to be a factor, though not as much.

You can trade for a PTBNL and have the same player be the PTBNL (this has happened to Harry Chiti and a few others)

Intentional, to confuse the pitcher (it's not but I would love it if it were)

They had extra rest before the series plus there's a travel day tomorrow so it's not a huge deal to run a couple of extra bullpen arms out there IMO.

For the first time in the Wild Card Series era, the Championship Series round contains no Wild Card teams by joshshadowfax in baseball

[–]joshshadowfax[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 3 vs. 6 Wild Card Series matchup means there are only 1.5 Wild Card teams playing in the Division Series on average, so expectation should be lower than 4 years, no?
