My apologies if someone has brought this up before, but has anyone heard if MLB has instituted a minimum number of games played requirement to be eligible for the playoffs? They way it is going the Cardinals won't come close to playing 60 games. What if they finish say 25-15 and another team is 35-25? Based on wins/losses the two teams are tied, but the Cards clearly have a higher winning %. Who goes to the playoffs?
Sorry I'm late for the game threads, but I've been recovering from a broken arm I suffered while rushing to take a COVID test (tripped and did a beautiful swan dive into the garage). Waiting for the test results before the orthopedic doc could put me back together cost me 9 somewhat painful days. Thanks goodness for oxycodone. Have I missed anything?
Not a "favorite" memory but one nonetheless, was the fact that in the 1991 World Series Mack was doing so horribly, in Game 5 Kelly actually started Chili Davis in RF (shudder).
Jim Merritt for Leo Cardenas in 1968 was a significant move as was Versalles/Grant for Perranoski/Miller/Roseboro in 1967. Both of those trades set up the 69 and 70 division winners.
