GDT 2021 | AL Playoff Race and Scoreboard Watching Thread

[RobinThicc]

Was obvious with the way Seattle has played this year that they would cash in.

[Inklink]

what a game

[Inklink]

lmao Angles imploding

[Eat My Shatkins]

The Mariners are f***ing annoying pieces of s***

[Stangstag]

This game was crazy.

 

f*** it, im rooting for the 4-way tie tomorrow. WILD CARD BABYYYY

4 way tie isn't even that exciting. 2 separate tiebreakers to determine the 2 WC teams. 3 for 2 or 3 for 1 scenarios are better for pure chaos IMO. I guess the thought of 4 of 15 teams tying after 162 games is pretty wild though.

[RobinThicc]

Yankees and red sox win to make it anticlimactic

[John_Havok]

All the games start at the same time too so that’s a good thing. Scoreboard watching will be in full effect.

This is probably how it'll go down, but I am still excited; this is all down to the wire

Au contraire

4 way tie means a Final 4 scenario. 3 games, all where someone goes home. 3 way tie means only one game where someone actually goes home

[connorp]

I think 4 way means Final Four anyway??? I know the deal with 3

[InsideThePark]

3 for 1 has 3 games where someone goes home as well. 1st tiebreaker game loser goes home. 2nd tiebreaker game loser goes home. WC game loser goes home.

[jerb]

Teams have already made their picks of who they want to face in the different tiebreaker scenarios.

 

[Laika]

Pretty f***ing nuts.

[Spanky99]

I mean even if they don't make it in, being alive in game 162 is basically the same as making the wild card game. lol.

 

This. They've basically been playing playoff baseball for the better part of a month. Good season. Go Jays Go!

[mellowgold]

So did the Yankees choose to play Boston, rather than Toronto, in the event of a four-way tie? Interesting.

Yes. I guess they feel good about the Redsox considering they blasted them in Fenway just last week?

[Abomination]

They probably don't want to deal with the border for a single game. I'm sure they aren't thrilled with the pitching the Jays would be throwing at them either.

[JuniorFelix54]

Bases loaded and 1 out and the Nats dribble into an inning ending DP off some garbage reliever. Go figure......... and the great Juan Soto whiffs for the 2nd time today with 1st and 2nd and none out.

[JuniorFelix54]

Rays have had 2 great chances to score and it's still 0-0, Yankees will win this game

[Eat My Shatkins]

Soto the hottest hitter in baseball until the Jays could use some help. Then he's a useless piece of s***

[rydermike]

Nat's score 3-1. Men 2nd 3rd two outs

[Buster]

nice Nats!!!

[tazsub3]

Yes avila baby yes.

What a big hit in his last MLB game before retirement

[RobinThicc]

I wont get my hopes up for the Nats. They are f***ing garbage.

[G-Snarls]

Kevin Cash rolling out the full lineup for his buddy Montoyo. Montoyo playing 4D Chess by being a little beta at the Trop, wow.

 

Actually, I guess it helps the Rays if they beat the Yanks and prolong this whole thing.

 

Tampa gets 3 days off already this week

 

They didn't need another and don't want to end with a L

[Buster]

hopefully tampa gets similar clutch hitting in the playoff series against the Jays

[GoJays1562]

f*** you Erick Fedde

[tazsub3]

what a s*** by mercer. Man he is horrible

[Eat My Shatkins]

Maybe next year the Jays will take take of their own s*** so we don't have to rely on other f***ing teams to clinch us a playoff spot.

 

Of course the Yankees, Red Sox and Rays all find a way to brutally and painfully push our s*** in at virtually the same f***ing moment time.
