It feels like 32 right now with 14 mph winds and it's not even raining yet, it's going to be pretty gross out there. But yeah I was surprised that the announcement came so early. I would be more inclined to attribute any malfeasance to the Wrigley situation than to the Bryant situation.

One for the statistical anomalies and feats thread, which I could not locate: 10 combined plate appearances, 10 combined times on base for DET's eight and nine hitters today.

I got confused there, the Astros are also losing, and with the Angels losing, would be the second wild card and finish one game behind the Yankees. Which means the Yankees get to face Keuchel in NY rather than the invincible Keuchel in Houston.

is baseball on a particularly good run lately? or is it always this good?
i dunno, it's all anecdotal and my memory is selective, but shit like The Seventh Inning and the royals overcoming 95%-plus loss probability in elimination games twice in two years and bumgarner last year and the last day of the 2011 season and the cards-rangers series that year, trout and harper and all of this year's rookies, etc. etc.
i guess the giants sweeping the tigers wasn't that interesting and the decade of yankees-red sox sure had its moments, but it just seems *crazy* recently
― mookieproof, Friday, 16 October 2015 14:17 (eight years ago) link
I can't chalk The Seventh Inning up to anything but random chaos. I mean, it was a "classic" only in entertainment and surprise; not for streamlined aesthetic beauty.

the fact that we were one game away from having four teams that had 74 or less wins in 2013 in the CSes is pretty remarkable
and even then, now it just means we have 4 teams that were sub-.500 in 2012
― nerd shit (Will M.), Friday, 16 October 2015 14:49 (eight years ago) link
i'd agree that this was a pretty damn good regular season overall and most of them have been exciting this decade, although in some cases second halves have been considerably more interesting than firsts (2014) and vice versa (2011). this season didn't have that many dog days at all, imo
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 16 October 2015 14:53 (eight years ago) link
we also had the triple crown vs trout debate and an uncountable amount of no-hitters. seriously, the yankees not being the perrenial dominant team is one of the big reasons I became a baseball fan now and not then.

i'd kind of wandered away from baseball for awhile in favor of the nfl (as a cubs fan, i think this started with the '03 meltdown and subsequent dusty baking of that team.) but i don't watch the nfl anymore because the culture around it is so gross and i can't look past the CTE stuff anymore, and there are so many great young players (half a dozen on the cubs alone!) that i came back in a big way towards the end of last season.
