It would be amazing if the Yankees ended up losing out on the Wild Card as a direct result of their s***** play against the Orioles.

[tazsub3]

 

SHould have been 6 if not for a popup in the rain

[Laika]

Yesssssss the team formerly known as the Indians just opened up a big lead

 

The orange birds are also threatening against Boston and have had runners on all day

[Jonn]

Go Guardians!

 

Looks like the wild card game is going through Boston.

Red Sox schedule down the stretch is way too easy. I think they are a lock for one of the spots. It's going to come down to that 3 game series at RC with the Jays/Yanks. Have to take care of business.

[mellowgold]

Yeah the only way the Sox might get into trouble is if they get swept by the Yanks next weekend. Seems unlikely though. I guess we should probably be hoping for a Sox sweep if anything. It's hard to picture the Yanks recovering from that. We would probably knock them completely out of it by taking two of three in the following series.

I actually wouldn't mind playing @ Fenway. We seem to always play well there and less pressure the being at home. Though would be awesome to see the electricity at the RC for a Wild Card game.

It would be so so sweet to go into Fenway for the wildcard game and totally silence that crowd with a nice 5 run inning early on.

Springer Semien Teoscar and Vladdy in that ballpark makes me feel giddy

The Monster might not be an advantage for Vladdy.

[mellowgold]

Yup. The Jays scored over six runs a game in Fenway this year, including outbursts of 13 and 18.

[G-Snarls]

The Monster might not be an advantage for Vladdy.

 

112 mph line drive singles into the wall and then thrown quickly to 2B?

[Spanky99]

Chris Sale or Gerrit Cole vs Robbie Ray... pick your poison! Bring it Mofo's!

Gimme the lefty

What's the rule if he drives the ball right through that s***** wall?

[John_Havok]

What's the rule if he drives the ball right through that s***** wall?

 

Was thinking something similar except that it makes a big dent and just stays lodged in the wall. Ground rule double

[mellowgold]

Yanks and Cole down 2-0 in the first

[Jonn]

Yanks and Cole down 2-0 in the first

 

Good hopefully he gets throated.

[Solaxys]

Yanks down 4 - 0 to the Guardians

 

Edit: 5 - 0

[thatoneguy]

Good hopefully he gets throated.

 

This is going nicely.

[mellowgold]

Cole just gonna concede the Cy to Ray

[Jonn]

Apparently on Twitter people are saying Cole glanced at the Out of Town Scoreboard during a mound visit and started cursing lol

[JFD]

I think he was cursing about getting rocked and giving up 4 runs lol

[glory]

[Solaxys]

Guardians up 7 - 1

 

Cole got a bit booed, 100+ pitches through 5 2/3, 7 ER

[Ray]

Well, that could effectively end Coles Cy Young chances.

[Jonn]

Not quite yet. But he’s certainly not been himself since his short start against the Jays. He was probably the clear favorite going into that outing. Now Ray is going into his big start against Tampa tomorrow.

[Solaxys]

Orioles take the lead from Mancini bases-clearing double after 3 straight walks by Sawamura

 

6 - 5 Orange birbs.

[Jonn]

Orioles just took a lead at Fenway. Just one miracle win would go such a long way for us

[Ray]

And Garret Whitlock (by far and away the Red Sox best reliever) just got pulled from the game due to an injury too.
