I think that is actually the third tie breaker in a wild card scenario

One of Mauricio Dubón’s nails on his left hand “just came off” on a swing in the ninth inning, when a trainer went out to check on him, Dusty Baker said. Baker said Jose Altuve was removed in the eighth “just for precaution, cause I know his leg got sore."

Ol Charlie just keeps on going. I know W/L records for pitching can be deceiving but in his case it's pretty illustrative. When he came to the Astros he was 25 games under .500 for his career. Since then he's 41 games over.

so for the first half of the week the status quo held

Astros win 2 of 3 at Miami

Rangers win 2 of 3 vs. the Angels

Mariners win 2 of 3 at KC

with a 4th game tomorrow and a chance to pick up a half-game

Their team also likes to jerk each other off forcibly so not surprised there are never tits on their thread.

I just want to note for the record Mitch Garver is batting 40 points above his career average and 15 points above his best ever year.

Just another player for Texas having a career year. Their whole team at home is having a career year.

Nothing to see. Move on.

Also 20+ games over .500 at home and a .500 team on the road.

Had a few errands so caught the back half of the game on the radio. Didn't see this already mentioned but maybe it was - per Blummer JV only had 3 swing and misses today. Their guy had 10+. Clearly they were squaring JV up but I didn't realize it was that bad.

Hopefully just an off day but woof.

I'll stir the pot some more...

I had forgotten...but the 2010 San Francisco Giants won the World Series with a rookie catcher

a guy named Buster Posey. Rangers fans have heard of him.

thank goodness the Giants' starting rotation didn't have any qualms in throwing to him

I believe he caught every inning of SF's playoff run

To be fair, Buster Posey was light years ahead of where Yainer Diaz is now. Yainer is awesome. But the Astros weren't even sure if he would stick at catcher as early as March of this year. He's taken huge strides this season. On and off the field.
