While the Angels losing is sweet, I also like that maybe the Blue-Jays are showing they are better than .500 ?
They're +4 games in the pythagorean standings, for whatever that's worth, which is probably not much (Yanks, Stros and Twins are all +1 btw)
I wanna see Kimbrel with runners on, because he's a balk waiting to happen Yep, exactly that: spike it the the backstop HAAA, double Yep: 5-5 bottom of the 9th, Dodgers announcers are acting like total b****es about the call at the plate.
MLB on pace for most 100-win teams in single season Six teams -- the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, Brewers, Astros and Padres -- were on pace for triple-digit wins heading into Tuesday's action, according to Buster Olney of ESPN. Most of them had played around 48-50 games, roughly 30% of the 162-game schedule. The previous single-season high for 100 wins came in 2019 -- the year of the home run -- when four teams reached the mark. The barrage of 100 wins has been a marked change from the preceding dozen seasons, when only six teams won 100 games or more from 2005-16. And just as 100-game winners seem to have surged in recent years, so too have 100-game losers. Eleven teams have lost at least 100 games in each of the past three full seasons combined, from 2018-21. https://www.audacy.com/sports/mlb/mlb-on-pace-for-most-100-win-teams-in-single-season So, the good are getting better and the bad are getting worse. Sounds like parity has been quietly slipping away for a while now.
3 teammates batted in. Though, he had his 1st SF before he left the Rangers in a blow out against the Astros. The Yankees treated his 1st SF for them (2nd overall) last year like it was his 1st ever.
Unbeaten UT moves on to the regional finals Unbeaten Texas State beats national #2 Stanford to do the same Tech and TCU are still in it, in their respective loser's brackets I believe.
Despite their sub .500 record, the Rangers are about to find themselves in 2nd place, thanks to an 11 game losing streak by the Angels. Whats with the Angels anyway? Anybody got the inside story?
Come to think about it, our entire division (except us) is underperforming. Seattle, after beginning the season 11-6 have gone 12-24 since. The A's, well the A's were expected to be bad, so maybe technically they are not underperforming either (but they still suck). I had the AL Central as the weakest division in baseball. Looks like the AL West might challenge that.
