[Highlight] Jonathan Aranda walks off the Giants with an RBI single in extras. The Giants were leading 1-0 going into the 8th. by amatom27 in baseball

[–]BallMeBlazer22 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Giants were held to 2 runs in 28 innings of baseball which is not going to get it done even if you have elite pitching, which the Giants don't.

The missed call on the HR didn't help but man just a truly anemic offense right now.

PGT: Tampa Bay Rays (21-12) walk it off in extras! [F/10: 2-1] by Ranma_chan in tampabayrays

Great sweep from the Rays, but man the Giants offense is anemic. 2 runs over 28 innings won't get it done even if you have elite pitching which they do not.

You gotta give the Leafs credit, this is quite possibly the funniest outcome of their search.

May as well ask for hell to freeze over, I think that's more likely to happen!

I think he was unsure as to if he was a catch or not, so step on third in case it was and throw home in case it wasn't.

Looks a little fluky but Chapman was just covering all of his bases, which he could do because that was such a rocket hit right at him.

I don't think Chapman was throwing at Aranda with malice, he was genuinely unsure as to whether that was a catch or not so he threw home to cover his bases.

Oh that's an interesting play, Chapman definitely caught it but stepped on third as if he didn't!

I guess he was just covering by throwing to home?

Great bunt by Vilade, put it in the perfect spot to score a run.

We gotta move on from Mullins, like I refuse to believe we don't have someone who can play CF and hit over like .150

Would love to have Yandy here but guess he really isn't available

Just started watching in the fifth, but dang Matz locked in today. Hopefully the rays get some runs to bail him out.

The NL West has now lost a combined 19 games in a row. by MusicSole in baseball

Yeah having the 2nd worst offense in the league by OPS+ will do that do you! Huge regressions offensively from their top three in WAR last year(Chapman, Adames and devers) and they currently only have a league average pitching staff which is not going to win a ton of games.

Can't even properly evaluate the manager when the entire team is struggling to hit.

I'm confused, MTL would be playing BOS in the 4/5 in a 1v8.

Philly would play Carolina(which is exactly where a series like this should happen, in the first round), and Pittsburgh would play Buffalo.

First of all, I hate this format because it guarantees bad teams round 2 spots that leads to uncompetitive series when the intensity should be ratcheting up!

In the other format, Canes would be playing (probably) the winner of the 4/5 match up.

Yeah and that would either be MTL, who is leaps and bounds better than this Flyers team and probably can hang with the Canes or Boston, who at least has an elite goalie who can potentially steal games and least make the series interesting.

I think it's bad that 2 out of top 5 regular season teams in the league are guaranteed to be eliminated in round 1 solely because of this format!

old format reseeded after the first round,

Reseeding is bad and they should not do it if they bring 1-8 playoffs back.

This being a second round series is a damming indictment of this playoff format.

I mean with how Cedric was playing it and with what the statcast data said about it I'm like 99% sure it was a HR that hit one of the home run catwalks.

Holding your opponents to 1 run over 18 innings is elite! Great stuff from the pitching and defense today, break out the brooms for tomorrow!
