MLB finds another way to screw fans out of true outcomes. It is MLBs decision to open or close the roof in Milwaukee during the playoffs. Temperature was predicted to be 53 degrees at game time, so they chose to close the roof for fan comfort. Not rain. Just comfort. It robbed baseball fans of a true outcome. Ty France’s 2 run home run bounced off the roof, came straight down just inside the wall, and caught for an out. No 4-3 flipped lead. No way these games should be played with a closed roof with no threat of rain. They can play in 100 degree heat in LA. 50 is great fall baseball weather.

Most people don’t know, but dumb is spelled with that crazy b…….

It was meaninglessly cool to see the Twins win the last two games, and TRULY it established momentum for 5 months in the future with an unknown roster. So inspiring. I am happy for their success when it no longer mattered. It all means something. At least for today. What does annoy me, however, is that not getting swept allows the Cheating Asstros to undeservedly return to the postseason competition with a .500 record. At least it wasn’t a losing record, like we see in the NBA. But let’s face it. The playoffs, now with MLB interleague play, needs to have the teams with the 12 best records, not mediocre teams that are lucky to play in a pathetic division.

Change the definition of meaningful for this purpose if you like, but it applies to games meaningful to make the postseason, not all the other things one can come up with. But interesting article.

Agreed. Going multiple innings, and even consecutive days was even his downfall in his prime. But I always expect pitchers to field their position, even though most don’t these days.

Maybe. But to be fair, he brought his disheveled and grey with him to start the year 😇

Interesting that the Pirates got better without Shelton around.

Gomez can’t throw strikes anymore.

You realize there is a lottery, right?

Good job Taylor. Another pitcher not ready to field.

HBP on an 0-2 count. I’d say unbelievable, but it is anything but.

I guess the scouting on Keaschall’s arm has been missed by the Angels.

Rogers has always been sketchy going more than one inning. Even when he was good.

Kriedler might. Can’t pinch hit for him!

At least Caratini didn’t look at the third strike for the third time tonight
