yikes, m's

down to the last game

LOL KC couldn't get to John-f***ING-Danks today in the most important game of their lives!

 

It was Paul Konerko Day! CHW were destined to win!

We love it!

We love it!

 

WC spot is not likely going to be an upset.

 

Mariners will likely win with King Felix on the mound tomorrow. BUT A's are facing one of the worst pitchers in the majors in Nick Martinez. Highly unlikely the A's lose tomorrow.

[RealAccountant]

Jays are still in it according to Wilner but now need a miracle

[BlueJayWay]

KC one game behind Detroit, Pittsburgh one game behind Saint Loo, Sea one game behind Oak for 2nd wildcard. But could have some tie breakers comin up.

Highly likely the A's lose. Martinez is being scratched because Holland is feeling better, and will start Sunday vs. Sonny Gray.

Looks likes the As are going to tuhe playoffs

[jaysblue]

I'd love to see a tiebreaker tomorrow between the A's and Mariners.

[jaysfan2014]

All the playoffs are set:

 

WILD CARD

AL: A's @ Royals

NL: Giants @ Pirates

 

ALDS: LA Angels vs. winner of A's vs. Royals

O's vs. Tigers

 

NLDS: Nationals vs. winner of Giants vs. Pirates

Dodgers vs. Cardinals

[BlueJayWay]

So we went from potentially three tiebreaker scenarios to none.

 

Oh well. Oak at KC on Tuesday should be fun.

WILD CARD

AL: A's @ Royals

NL: Giants @ Pirates

 

ALDS: LA Angels vs. winner of A's vs. Royals

O's vs. Tigers

 

NLDS: Nationals vs. winner of Giants vs. Pirates

Dodgers vs. Cardinals

 

After all that, Oakland gets a 1 game wild card on the road. What a fail if they manage to lose it.

[G-Snarls]

Will be curious to see the SP matchups for the WC games

[ElNik2013]

Maybe someone should point this out to Janssen and Bautista.

Billy Beane will have to re-invent baseball all over again.

[RealAccountant]

Oakland needed the players it traded for just to make that wild card game. If they dont make those deals, then they probably wont even get to 87 wins

About 1 in every 10 of your posts is not incoherent retard dribble.

why didn't Lester and Shark contribute Wins towards the As

 

Isn't that how it works?

 

If the As didn't trade for Shark they might have ended up with 86 or 85 wins, and out of the playoffs. Is that better? Shark was worth at least 2-3 wins in his As uniform, and per Fwar was worth 4.1 wins this year.

They underperformed their Baseruns expectation by a solid 7 wins and pytho by about 11 wins

 

Probably random variance

Pitching matchup for AL Wild Card game:

 

Lester vs Shields

Anyone else see this? http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/who-stood-out-the-most-for-the-jays-this-season/

 

More then 1 player actually voted Ryan Goins as the rookie of the year. lmao. Todd Redmond got a half a vote for pitcher of the year.

lol @ Stroman not receiving 100% of the ROY votes and Bautista not receiving 100% of the MVP votes.

[burlingtonbandit]

So does Felix win the CY Young for even the Saber community? Had the same amount of innings as Kluber and had a less xFIP. If you go by RA9 WAR he was also a half win better.
