I don't know what is crazier.

the fact the the worst record in the AL is only 8 games below .500 and thus only 5 games back in the WC or...
that the worst record in the AL is 8 games over .500 at home and in fact has the best win percent in their division at home despite the best record in baseball being in their division.

It seems like every team is still in it in a way in the AL. Trade deadline might be interesting...
 
I realize it's a lost season season and all but the fact that Cespedes seemingly cannot play back-to-back games consistently and has a million issues with his legs does not bode well for a $25+M per year player over the next 3 seasons.
 
Why would a dodgers fan be in oklahoma city?

we got AAA in OKC brah

Funny how these prospects flourish in AAA, but regress when they are up. Matheny needs to go.

It's not even really that. It's that he somehow hasn't learned when to pull a fucking starting pitcher. Lynn gave up 2 home runs (almost 3 if not for Fowler) and 2 triples in one inning before Matheny pulled him. And that's after Lynn was doing shaky earlier.

Same thing with Waino yesterday.

Carlos Martinez is the only thing about this team that's worth watching and that's only because it's harder for Matheny to fuck up.

Conflicted. I hate the Giants, but I've known Ty Blach for basically forever. So I have to hope the Rockies score all the runs after he gets pulled. My parents are out in the box at Coors, so I'm pretty jealous of the pics coming in.

carmargo scores the winning run off of a phillps walkoff single in back to back days. nice.

Best start in franchise history!! That's including the World Series team, the 100 win team - all of it! And on yet another 9th inning comeback.

It's a shame one of these NL West teams won't get to be represented in the playoffs this year. MLB might need to look at their postseason structure if the 3rd best team by record gets ousted in a single win-and-in game.

I still expect the Dodgers to win the division. The Rockies have been great, but I think the youthful pitching will have a hard time remaining this consistent through 80 more games. I hope the DBacks keep winning. Every game this week has been a nail-biter.

I mean this happened 2 years ago with the Pirates. They won 98 games and lost in the WC game.

Nah, the new wild card is still a better solution than the old way. This'll make for a more exciting battle for the division anyways with the threat of needing to play a one-game playoff.

Forgive me. As a DBacks fan, October baseball drama is not traditionally of import to me, so I wasn't aware. Have the second and third best records ever met in the wild card game? It's just such an awful way to lose. As if 162 games weren't enough to determine who the playoff worthy teams are.
