That said, Twins have to win the games in which they hold their opponents to two runs or less, because we're not going to get many of those.

Ramsay B. Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Frazier just ripped a foul ball that hit a little kid in the head. The game was stopped for like 5 minutes. Scary shit. Also, sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 So the league wide single season home run record has been broken. Better explanation, juiced ball or better steroids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a damn shame it had to come to this for it to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juiced balls are certainly a part of it, as steroids may well could be, buy Myshkin is right about much of the league changing their hitting approaches to get the ball in the air. This not only leads to the single season HR record, but also will lead to the single season strikeout record, breaking last year's record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 So the dreaded Dodger's seal up the NL West with their victory last night. It appears the only race left is between Colorado, St. Louis and Milwaukee for the last Wildcard spot. And in the AL we still have the Yanks in contention for the AL East (but not by much) with the Twins in position to take the 2nd Wildcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Sawx got the East. We'll settle for Twins on October 3rd to try and snap a 5 year playoff winless spell. 9 games left for Judge to get the rookie record. He's been hot so it is possible. He needs 3 to tie.
