Well a glimmer of hope with the HR by Stanton, and even more so getting their starter to 46 pitch count thru 2 innings. Need tanaka to stop puking on the mound again this inning.

Need at least 2 more runs, maybe more, to salt this one away.

Of course this overrated middle relief blows it

This game has been absolutely nuts. Each of the bullpens have taken turns blowing it. I haven't seen anything like this is a while.

Wow. What a pleasant surprise!
Damn... fell asleep after the Indians took the 9-8 lead in the 8th...
I'll have to catch the replay today of the 9th.
This team sucks!
They need that on shirts to remind them how much they all suck!

After this season, things I would keep and ditch going forward:
Keep - This playoff format. 16 teams is actually great and generates much more interest. Having all day playoff days is amazing. Its kind of like a March Madness feel. - A shorter season. Maybe not 60 games, but I think 100-120 should do. 162 games is just way too long and loses a lot of interest. Start in May instead. - I know a lot of you dont like this, but I like the 3 hitter minimal rule for relievers. I cant stand innings where they change pitchers by batter in middle/late innings. I dont think this caused much of a stir during the season anyway. - Expanded roster sizes. I like having a few more extra guys on the bench. - Universal DH. I hated the idea at first, but now, I can get down with it.
Get rid of - 7 inning double headers. Awful. They dont even feel like real games. 9 innings is baseball. This isnt little league. - Extra Inning guy on 2nd base to start. This one I thought I hated more than I did when I saw it play out, but still not a fan. It did help score in extras quicker. (It is kind of similar to college footballs OT rules). That Braves-Reds game would have been over quicker, but just doesnt feel right. Adios. - No Re-seeding in the playoffs. I think they should have to still re-adjust the seeding after the first round of playoffs. Best seed plays worst seed, the 2 middles seeds play vs each other.
Need to add - Robotic Umpires. The umps are still awful.

Whew, that was close. Another Sanchez passed ball had me feeling all kinds of nervous It was good to see Torres and Gary getting back on track, and judge and Stanton somewhat too... We will definitely need guys other than just Voit with power against rays. And of course mr clutch the machine, who else would you want in that position last night? With the way cleveland got to our pitching last night I was definitely not looking forward to a game 3 at the stadium with Happ on the mound. As entertaining and satisfying that series was well have to build on it and raise it up at least another notch to have any chance against the mighty rays.

The power of the Yankees pull.
The Astros (central time) and A's (pacific time) will start their game at 4pm EST on Monday, meaning 3pm Houston and 1pm Oakland.
Yet the Yankees and Rays are both East Coast teams and playing at 8pm EST.
That makes zero sense outside of how much of a draw the Yankees still bring in primetime.
Im a little pissed because we all know those games will go to 1am now.

Jeters Marlins advance. Crazy stat, the Marlins are now 7-0 all time in postseason series.
Remember when everyone thought he couldn't run a team?
Trading Stanton, Yelich, Ozuna, Realmuto...

Kevin Keirmeyer: "We don't like them" Brett Gardner: "The feeling is mutual"
And the teams are staying in the same hotel, bumping into each other.
This could get firey quick.

I just realized, every series is a divisional series.
Yanks vs Rays Astros vs As Braves vs Marlins Dodgers vs Padres

A must win is usually an elimination game and hardly ever the first game of the series, but tonight's game with Cole on the mound is a must win game.

at least the early returns show Frazier in the line up was a good move!

One bad pitch but otherwise Cole looks pretty dominant thru 2 (fingers crossed).
