2021 MLB Season

[dasher]

The pitcher is an opener.
He isn’t going to pitch more than 2-3 innings.
He is projected as a RP.
The Nats are giving him a taste of the show.

The Rays are playing their regular starting lineup

The Rays are playing their regular starting lineup

They want to give everyone at least a few at bats, plus get their bullpen arms some work, as they won't be playing again until Thursday.

Some trivia as we will have some teams with strong records miss the playoffs.

Question 1 - There will be 2 teams missing the playoffs in the AL with 90 wins which is very odd for the wildcard era. When was the last year the AL had two teams with 90 or more wins miss the playoffs?

Question 2 - What are names of the last 3 teams to miss the playoffs with 94 or more wins?

1-0 Jays.
Leadoff homer George Springer.

 

[jncuse]

2-0 Angels.

This is the pop up ad that I just got on this site. What the hell have I been looking at to get this as a pop up!

 

[jncuse]

2-0 Jays, bottom first, still at bat.
Orioles already have their pen running.

 

[jncuse]

3-0 Jays, bottom first, 2 out.
Orioles going to the pen early.

 

[MSOrange]

That didn’t look good for Max Muncy

 

[jncuse]

5-0 Jays, bottom of 2nd.
Vladimir Guerrero hits #48.

 

[Alsacs]

Chris Sale getting lit up.

 

[jncuse]

9-1 Jays.
Grand Slam Springer.

 

[Alsacs]

Huge double play by Sawamura to keep it 2-0.
Followed by Devers HR.

2-1 Nats top of the 4.

 

[jncuse]

At the start of the day the Jays were at 43% (based on Money Lines) to get to game 163

They are currently sitting at 67% based on live Lines.

 

[jncuse]

Not even watching the Jays game right now. Focused on Yanks/Sox.

 

[jncuse]

Huge double play by Sawamura to keep it 2-0.
Followed by Devers HR.

2-1 Nats top of the 4.

That DP was a huge swing in momentum,
What if Soto had actually done something that inning as well.

 

[MSOrange]

Congrats to the Dodgers on 106 wins. Now it all comes down to one game.

 

[bpo57]

MLB Network is now showing Sox/Nats but for the last half hour they were showing blowouts in SF and TOR while showing a million ads. Horrible.

 

[jncuse]

Things were looking good for the Jays for a while... but no so much anymore.

 

[bpo57]

Raffy!!!

 

[Alsacs]

Devers is going to get paid.
I don’t like Pavetta closing but the bullpen sucks.
Thank you Martinez for taking Avila and Zimmerman out.

Thank the Nats for lying down all weekend. J/K

The Nats played every game like it was a game 7.
They made the Red Sox earn everything.
I know Toronto won’t think that but these games tough.

Cole v. Eovaldi.

Astros are the favorites in the AL.

I think it’s Astros vs. Dodgers.

 

[Day2]

Welp, today wound up being anticlimactic.

Avila finished the season hitting a buck ninety one.
