Surprised they let him finish the inning.119 pitches.

Hit. Oh well.

Singer still out there in the 8th. Good! Good for baseball.

Maybe re-title thread “Scoreboard Watching/ Playoff Seed Thread” or something like that? Guess the Indians are dropping to 3rd place. 11-0

Singer no-hitter thru 7. 102 pitches, and he’s a rookie in 2020, so...

Indians fall to the 7-seed if they lose. With the expanded postseason, MLB should have just made the top 3 seeds be the division winners, and the next five best records fall in order.

Royals up 3-0 on Indians

The 6-seed is under.500, because that makes sense.

They had to play the Cardinals a doubleheader, so the Cardinals could get a day off before another doubleheader. So the Twins got an off day before a regularly scheduled off day.

That’s how I see it too. 8-8 the next 16, then they play the last game and somebody wins a game that probably won’t mean anything...especially for the Sox. It would be nice to spoil the Cubs seed in some way, whatever that means with neutral sites.

It would be two games, because short of beating the Indians 3 out of 4 in the final meeting and having a better division record, the Indians win the tie breaker. It would be great if the Sox beat the Twins and Indians 3 of 4 to tie the season series with both, but they have to get the pitching staff in order for the best-of-3.

Here's the final standings: Oak 38-22 TB 37-23 Cle 37-23 Sox 36-24 Tor 34-26 Hou 31-29 Min 35-25 NY 32-28

9-8 36-24, 4-seed

Madge. He’s soaking in it.

If it’s anyone, it’ll be the Astros simply because they’ll get the 6-seed for finishing second in a bad division. The Yankees need to go 9-8 for 31-29. They’ll do it.

Nah, 8 AL teams will have at least 31 wins. It may not matter for the Astros since they’ll be gifted the 6-seed, but the Yankees will get there, I’m sure. The Sox magic number over the Orioles and Tigers is 11.

NY at TB; Tor at Cle Min at Oak; Hou at Sox

NY at TB; Tor at Sox Min at Oak; Hou at Cle

Yeah boyeeeeee!

Mazara puts one in the river tonight.

Yes. While the three division winners would have to play and beat a team in their own division that finished below them.

Sox will go 10-9, partly because of just getting ready for the postseason series. 36-24. 4-seed. I predict the current seeds will be the matchups in three weeks: NY at TB; Tor at Sox Hou at Oak; Min at Cle

NY at TB; Tor at Sox Min at Cle; Hou at Oak

Sox are falling back to the 4-seed tonight, btw.

It may be a bubble after the best-of-3, but I don’t think that’s finalized.
