So the NL playoff race comes down to 6 teams (Marlins, Phillies, Cardinals, Brewers, Reds, Giants) competing for the last 4 spots. And we might not know who's in on Sunday night, because the Cards will only have played 58 games. I thought MLB would just use winning percentage, but nope: https://www.mlb.com/news/cardinals-may-need-to-make-up-tigers-games If those two games matter, the Cards will have to play a doubleheader in Detroit on the off day next Monday. Would be their 12th doubleheader of the season :lol:

V: I wonder how well a pitcher can perform and still get the L. Could someone somehow throw a no-hitter and lose? Because I feel like if anyone could, it's good old Jake.

Under 2020 rules you can throw a 10-inning perfect game and still lose.

Face 27 batters through 9, retire all 27. In the 10th, induce three groundouts. There, you lost.

you could also in theory get a ten inning perfect game only facing 29 batters

Edit: lol and the whole point of using Texas is because the stadiums are enclosed and indoors for weather but worse for virus spread than if they were outdoor ones.

They could of course host the World Series in Petco or Dodger Stadium but then there’s a chance a team might have home field advantage so guess we’d better just go with the plague domes.

OOTP continues to troll Dodger fans. With 5 games left in the season over on BRef OOTP, the Dodgers have broken the 2001 Mariners' record. Clayton Kershaw is 17-0

Can it really make much difference when the space enclosed by a dome is so large, or is the concern more about the concourses being enclosed?

Depending on specific charges, you can get less than a year for it in Oklahoma.

I'm pretty curious since the initial report said that alcohol likely wasn't a factor. I'm going with wait-and-see here. If they have a BAC report I'll definitely chuck this dude on the pile of Baseball Guys Who Are Assholes.

The mother of an acquaintance of mine was killed by a drunk driver. He was driving drunk in the middle of the day in a company vehicle and had 8 previous DUIs AND a suspended license. It still took nearly three years to put him in jail, and even so it wasn't even the maximum (which iirc was 15 years.) Idaho!
