into a DP...this is truly incredible how any team could hit into this many DPs...

How do tie breakers work here?  
NoGainDayne : 9/14/2021 9:36 pm : link
Let’s say it’s a 3 way tie? Or if two teams are tied and one is better? I’m assuming the latter is a play in to the play in but not sure of the 3 way tie
Now that King  
section125 : 9/14/2021 9:43 pm : link
is pretty devastating...

I cannot remember how the three way tie is done.

Not for nothing  
section125 : 9/14/2021 10:03 pm : link
but the last batter King K'ed was questioning the call when the ball was middle plate and mid thigh.

King with three beautiful no hit innings.

Think Boone has finally had enough of Torres defense. Taking him out for defensive purposes which I agree.

Yep. Kenny Singleton telling a few stories from the past. Finally Boone doing something. Bring Velazquez back up instead of Urshela at SS.
Tip of the cap to King

wonderful outing. Magnificent

guy is brought up as 26th guy and last pitcher in the pen and proceeds to not throw strikes in a game the team leads 7-1...
Never

Understood why Romano is even on this team.

Dumbass gets ahead 0-2 gets to 2-2 then tries to barehand a liner and gives up a run. Cannot make this shit up. You simply cannot cheat to try and finish a game with a tomato can.

And now Boone brings in Chapman. Should have left King in the game. I guess he loves squirming on the bench watching Chapman bounce balls in the dirt.
Chapman has gone from

103 mph heat to sliders and splitters.
Wow.

Chapman gets it done...7-2

Toronto lost.. so I think they are back to #1 WC.
if there's one thing you can say about this team it's that they can

take a punch. Just when you think they're KOd they get up and start punching again. They have many flaws, but lack of heart is not one of them.
Three-Club Tie for Two Wild Card Spots  
Jim in Tampa : 9/15/2021 7:38 am : link
Since the Yanks, Jays and Sox are all (in effect) tied for the two wild card spots it got me wondering about the tie-breaker rules.

Here's what MLB says:

"After Clubs have been assigned their A, B and C designations, Club A would host Club B. The winner of the game would be declared one Wild Card winner. Club C would then host the loser of the game between Club A and Club B to determine the second Wild Card Club."

More details linked below.

Didn’t realize that Aaron Judge is third in the AL in OPS

trailing only Vlad Jr and Ohtani til I saw it on Twitter. Kinda crazy.

Judge is having a very good year. He may not make 40 HRs and 100 RBIs, but along with his OF defense is a top 10 player in all of baseball when he stays healthy. I figure he will finish 3rd in MVP behind Ohtani and Guerrero.

Eric Creesey has done a great job keeping Judge and Stanton healthy.
Well  
Carson53 : 9/15/2021 9:14 am : link
glad they hit the long ball to make up for the Keystone Cops
around second base. Boy, Torres and Urshela at second base
on that play was just brutal to watch. If Urshela can just catch the ball, just catch it, they have a force at least!
He hasn't been anything great since coming back, and has given them nothing the second half of the season.
Torres now replaced for a late inning defensive replacement. The next step from there is out the door...

That's what happens when you are having great difficulty commanding the fastball...
I think he threw only one or two fastballs last night.
Just checked out the schedules  
Stu11 : 9/15/2021 10:21 am : link
Our chances at the playoffs are not great at all. Toronto and the Sox could not have drawn up an easier last 9 games if they tried. A ton of Baltimore and Minnesota while we play both of them on the road and Tampa at home. We need Loaisiga back big time and maybe Cole, Monty, Nestor and Gil can give us some inning. Otherwise it looks pretty bleak unless we build a 2 or 3 game lead in the next 8
what a fucking wack job season this is

If the Yanks want to win a title they absolutely have to get Chapman going here. Shit, if the want to make the WC they absolutely have to get Chapman going here. There is no other option. You aint hiding Chap here the next 6 weeks other than maybe this week. Like it or not, we need Chapman.
