    I didn't mean to suggest they were trying to lose tonight. Obviously they still want to win because they have a chance to play at home, but if they fail, they might make decisions in the next couple days with an eye towards Cleveland instead. If you don't think that professional teams don't intentionally manipulate their chances in order to try to pick playoff opponents then I don't know what to tell you because it does happen. It definitely happens in the NBA probably more than other sports. Now, I don't know which team Seattle would rather play or if they have a strong preference either way, but if they do have a preference for Cleveland it will affect their decision making.

    Playing at home helps, quite frankly our record home and road this season suggests that it's not that much of a big deal but postseason maybe it matters a little bit more. But the team you face absolutely does matter. Tampa bay is a better team than Seattle, so given the choice I think myself, most of the fan base and certainly the front office desperately would rather play Seattle and take our chances from there. I don't think that's a particularly outlandish statement.

    If Mariners were smart they would pitch him against us plenty. A left hander with a change up? That's our Kryptonite.

    That may be the first time Mike Wilner actually informed me of anything in my life.

    Maybe you think we're the greatest team in baseball and playing at home somehow makes us invincible, but I'm a realist and I want the best matchup. Clearly, anybody with common sense can see, that is not Tampa bay, it's Seattle. It's not to say Seattle can't beat us, nor is it to say that we can't be Tampa, but you always want the better odds, and Seattle are a better matchup for us.

    They aren't tanking at the moment because they still have a chance to play at home, but if they lose that chance tonight I could see them resting players and not being too upset about moving down in the standings.
  7. Masterbather
    That's why I'm concerned they may play themselves right down to the six seed, and there may be some intent to it.

    Do the Tigers still have that great bullpen or have there been injuries or whatever I haven't been following them.
  9. Masterbather
    Agreed but I don't want Seattle to completely fall apart against Detroit. I don't want Tampa Bay in the first round.
  10. Masterbather
    f***ing Baltimore and the constant miserable f***ing weather. Oh well. Call the game, save as much of our bullpen as possible.
  11. Masterbather
    I'm not sure why Cavan is even batting there, I guess unless Schneider wants to see if he's a completely useless **** in which he proved himself to be.
  12. Masterbather
    I feel like people are sleeping on Cleveland a bit. I don't think they're going to be the walk in the park that everybody is expecting them to be.
  13. Masterbather
    I don't know if I can really say they choked. Atlanta's just a better team and caught up with them over a period of time. Mets are having a fantastic season. One of those two very good teams was going to have to play in the wild card just like the NL West last year. That's baseball.
  14. Masterbather
    Really don't like the pitching matchups for this Baltimore series, I think people are underestimating how difficult this series might be. Baltimore can afford to throw everything they have left at us. And if they can f*** us even a little bit they'll be happy to.

    Kelenic is 2 years away from being 2 years away.

    Did you guys know that the Mariners made the postseason? In case you ever forget just watch a Mariners broadcast, they'll remind you about 12 times per inning.
  17. Masterbather
    Manoah will not be pitching game 162 because the Blue Jays are not insane.
  18. Masterbather
    The Brewers are doing everything they can to not make the playoffs.
  19. Masterbather
    Whitt has clearly adjusted to his new situation.
  20. Masterbather
    When Teo's on, he carries this team.
  21. Masterbather
    Well that's wonderful news.
  22. Masterbather
    I love live player interviews...said no one f***ing ever.
  23. Masterbather
    At least Teo has been looking like Teo again
  24. Masterbather
    One thing about Gausman, dude just gives up a lot of hits for whatever reason. Been a problem all season long.
  25. Masterbather
    They are three back, and it's probably enough to avoid them. Seattle is the bigger concern. I didn't expect the A's to offer any resistance and they aren't. We need Detroit to do something. The series in Baltimore is a concern because we have our most inconsistent starter and then two bullpen games with a lot of White and Kikuchi. Not a good situation. Even tomorrow's game with Boston should be more competitive with Wacha.
