The far better scenario is he takes the ball on Sunday with a chance to earn his team a postseason spot but gets loving crushed and can't get through the 3rd inning or whatever

I agree with this take

He's me.

I want both. Drone-related idiot injury on Saturday, he refuses to not pitch on Sunday and gets shelled for four innings before being pulled.

Twins already had a drone incident this season so I dunno if Bauer will be able to pull it off

It's impressive how the teams have kept one upping each other on the clownings this series, the Yankees going to win 21-1?

The Blue Jays could win 18-0 to split the season, and the Yankees still would have outscored them in the season series.

Hmm, losing 3 of 4 to the pirates and getting blown out today is not ideal.

I doubt the Yankees can win a series without homefield. Even against the Twins lol

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays for ending what was apparently not only a historic streak of futility, but a record they hold by a huge margin:

The Mariners' studio guys started ripping into Kikuchi last night. Normally the Mariner crew digs deep to find any possible positive spin on a situation. I wonder if they would DFA him if he doesn't get it together next season.

I like how the Angels still aren't _technically_ eliminated, they just have to sweep the #1 team while the Astros need to get swept by the second worst record in baseball, and then win a tiebreaker.

The punishment for cheating in the World Series is getting into the playoffs with a .500 record.

Before delivering the pitch, he will bring both hands together in front of his body. Once brought together, the pitcher may not separate his hands except to do one of three things:
Deliver the pitch to the batter,
Step and throw to an occupied base to pick off a batter, or
Properly disengage the rubber by stepping backward off the rubber with the pivot foot.
If the pitcher separates his hands other than for these three reasons, it is a balk.

It's like that dude who turned all the way around to second base during his wind up in that it's absurd and probably worked really well that one time.

But can you have a balk with empty bases?
