samhexum Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 The good news... after being no-hit into the 11th inning, the Yankees won a meaningless game today. The bad news... Jasson Dominguez has a torn UCL and is out until the all-star break next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samhexum Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 Ashley Crow is an American actress. She is best known for her role of Sandra Bennet on the television show Heroes, and her son has been called up by the Cubs. Lindsay Frost was an actress who had a successful Hollywood career, including roles in various dramas, such as "As the World Turns" and "L.A. Law", and her son's being a part of their rotation has not helped the Chisox, Angels, or Guardians make the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw you guys have 7 games left against Seattle and you're up 5-1 in the season series so if you can keep that up you'll be in. You'll for sure have the tiebreaker too on them.

You were worried about squeaking in but suddenly since you swept Seattle and Houston got swept you're back in the driver's seat for a division title and a first round bye.

samhexum Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Since Sep. 16, the Cubs have held a lead in 7 different innings on the road in 8th or later. They blew the lead in the bottom half in all 7. No other MLB team in the modern era has blown the lead in more than 5 straight road innings in 8th or later in which they held a lead.

samhexum Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 Mom of Nathaniel and Josh Lowe has cancer, won't attend series No relation to injured Tampa 2B Brandon Lowe, who pronounces his name like the late hitting coach Charlie Lau's last name. The mother of Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe and Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe will not make the trip to Tropicana Field for this week's AL wild-card series featuring her sons because she is battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. Younger brother Josh said he called his mother, Wendy, on Monday to ask if she would mind him discussing her situation publicly in advance of the start of the best-of-three matchup that begins Tuesday. "She's actually battling cancer, so she's going through chemo right now. She won't be able to make it, but I asked her if it was OK if I said something, and she said yes because the more people that know, the more prayers that could be had for her," the 25-year-old outfielder said. The Lowe brothers, who both began their pro careers in the Tampa Bay minor league system, first shared a major league field together when the Rays and Rangers met at Tropicana Field in June. The Rangers acquired Nathaniel, 28, in a December 2020 trade, while Josh was still making his way through the minor leagues. Wendy and husband Dave attended that series, and Wendy wore a custom, split baseball jersey -- one half a white Rays uniform, the other in Rangers blue, with "Lowe" written across the back.

On 10/1/2023 at 5:26 PM, BuffaloKyle said: Well you ended up just squeaking in after all. Can't believe Houston managed to win the division! The Rangers have been without Max Scherzer since mid-September, but the three-time Cy Young winner hasn’t given up hope of pitching in the postseason. Indeed, he seems to be progressing well toward that goal. His teammates did their part on Wednesday afternoon, beating the Rays to win the AL Wild Card Series and advance to the ALDS. Scherzer, meanwhile, pitched another bullpen session (according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News), ramping up the intensity with which he threw. The veteran described the session as “pain-free” and seemed excited about his progress, calling out in triumph as he made his way back to the clubhouse. While he’ll have to wait to see how his body reacts in the coming days, that sounds like promising news. As the Rangers celebrated their first postseason series victory in over a decade, Scherzer had his trademarked look of (dual-colored) determination in his eyes (per Tyler Kepner of The Athletic). “Based on today, I’m turning a corner, I see a path,” the future Hall of Famer said. “You never know.” Based on those comments, it doesn’t sound like his return is fast approaching – he remains doubtful for the ALDS – but the deeper the Rangers play into October, the more likely it is that Scherzer can get back on the mound.

BuffaloKyle Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I think the Rangers starting staff is in decent shape even without Scherzer & Gray. Especially now that Eovaldi pitched really good today. They have him, Montgomery, Dunning & I'm guessing Heaney would be their 4th starter but Martin Perez has pitched really good in bulk relief since he got moved to the bullpen. I wonder if the best play would be to go with an opener and then have Perez pitch in bulk. You could go with a Heaney/Perez game 4 as well.
