F.Hernandez enters the game to pitch.
J.Thome takes ball four.
D.Justice draws the walk.
J.Cora draws the walk. M.Cabrera scores.

That's pretty rough.

Best part is he threw 12 pitches lmao :lol:

Apparently "draft as many high bb/9 guys you can, get pitchers who don't walk, and stick it in Safeco" is a viable WIS strategy

the ideal stadium is the one that has the highest + to whatever your team does best. so, basically, mile high, fenway, or coors, unless you want to be some kind of slap-hitting dingus.

Going into game 162 we have two different divisions and a wild card with a 1-game gap, where neither team is playing each other. Six games that matter!

Two game 163s! The third best team in the league isn't going to make the playoffs!

That's what I've been saying! FAQ says that any tie in which only one team makes the playoffs results in a play-in but it should've been scheduled by now.

# ? Jul 14, 2014 00:46

Devo: Jul 9, 2001; Caught Cubs Posting

It will be scheduled before the AM to be played in the PM. Then the actual playoffs will start the next day.

jesus, man. missing the playoffs with the best pythag is some poo poo luck

actually, the two teams with the best pythags are both missing the playoffs :psyduck:

EB even had the best run differential to boot

on the other side of things, kensei scored the most runs, yet still had the fourth-worst run differential :stare:

what *is* pitching

I'm probably gonna be pretty bored at work tomorrow, maybe I'll write up some playoff previews then

I really love that '95 Madduxes took both Cy Youngs, and *not just* because one of them is mine

In celebration, one of the all-time great Maddux anecdotes, included in ESPN the Mag's most recent issue:

quote:

Hall of Fame pitcher Greg Maddux used to mosey up to rookies in the shower, engage them in conversation and, while pretending to listen to them talk, secretly pee down their legs.

I'm now picturing '95 Maddux pissing on '05 King Felix's leg and I suddenly want to start a WiS fanfic tumblr more than ever before

e: also someone get me to elvis andrus stat so I can punch him

e2: I'm p bad at deciding when to steal and I'm still not sure why I even considered using Joe Niekro in a playoff game. I should have known better, I am very biased against Niekros.
