Around Baseball 2015

Wtf are the Astros doing?

 

Altuve hurt on the collision.

 

Potentially fatal blow to the Astros playoff hopes if Altuve is knocked out due to a concussion.. it would all but guarantee one of the Angels/Twins/Indians making the playoffs.

Gotta love Andrus and Beltre.

The 94-win Pirates are likely going to have to settle for a Wild Card spot. There's still a chance they win 100 games too. Wow, baseball.

MLB should go back to 2 divisions per league, east and west. Top 2 teams from each division make the playoffs.

That will reduce playoff teams, which MLB will not do.

Anyone getting tickets to see the Jays in Montreal? Presale for tickets go on sale today for Inside Pitch subscribers. The last two years games were sold out. I can't confirm if I could go 100% though if I bough pairs to both games today anyways, and couldn't end up making it, would they be easy to resell on StubHub?

Drop 20 regular season games, two divisions, top 8 make playoffs. No series less than best of 5.

Eww

Could be worse. The 1993 Giants won 103 games and missed the playoffs cause Atlanta won 104 that year.

[Joe Shades]

I think the NBA is changing things this year, it does not matter if you win the division , teams with better record get better seed

Yeah those networks that signed 20 years deals for 162 games won't mind

They can still win the division

All of those suggestions are terrible

So apparently Lance Berkman is an ignorant toolbag. Lost all respect I had for him, and I liked him as a player too.

May be a tool but he still is a wonderful ballplayer

Blue Jays BsR leaders:

 

#1 Ben Revere

#2 Kevin Pillar

 

MLB BsR leaders:

 

#1 Ben Revere

#2 Kevin Pillar

 

Should be an asterisk on the MLB one as if Billy Hamilton wasn't injured he'd be crushing it, 13.3 in 114 games. But yes, no. 1 & 2 nonetheless.

[MunenoriKawasakiMVP]

The old timers game between SF and Oakland is an absolute slugfest. kid Jarrett Parker of the Giants cracked 3 homers and is a 3 run homer away from the homer cycle

[thatoneguy]

Jeeeeeeeesus (I realize KC didn't have their A team out there, but so many whiffs).

Man, think the Royals can go far? Their pitching is awful.

[Inklink]

Yessss 6-2 CLE on a wild pitch.

 

And now a walk!

[AdamLindsMom]

Cleveland doing their part. I guess they are still kind of alive as well.

 

Yes, they are. And they are the team that would be the Jays worst match up, IMO.

[Inklink]

KC broadcasters are annoying as FK with using nicknames constantly. "Sally", "Moose". laaame

[Trouba95]

Want to face Houston, KC or Texas. Not the Yanks or Cleveland.

I love it. It just makes it that much easier to laugh at them.

[baubau]

9-5 for the Indians now but I am scared (Trouba95 s*** right here!). I hope Cleveland doesn't make the playoffs because they would give the Jays a hard time.

[Praxis]

I don't think the Indians will be able to leapfrog Minnesota and the Angels to be honest (Twins winning going into the 9th at Detroit right now); there's just too few games left to do it.

 

For some reason Cleveland always seem to play KC tough (it will probably be 9-9 after tonight) - we are 4-3 against the Indians and the Royals this year.

[Governator]

I can't believe how scared some of you are of match ups. We've owned the Yankees all year, and with home field advantage I'd look forward to it!

[BigCecil]

Agreed!!! We scored 9 runs off Archer today! Bring anyone on.

 

Watching KC lose. Stadium and announcers feed sounds like a funeral procession.
