MLB Daily Notes - September 28th
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.
The American League playoff picture is settled. Apparently, the Royals have the tiebreaker over the Mariners because we’ve got three W’s here:
The Tigers and the Royals in the playoffs. Who saw that coming? I guess it helps when you have a 120+ loss team in your division.
The Braves crossed the line (the horizontal rule in HTML terms):
The Snakes are blowing it! And I’m down with that. They got their lucky World Series run last year, and we don’t need to see them anymore.
I’m down for some Sale, Fried, and Schwellenbach in the playoffs. I’d like their odds if they get in, but they will have to go win a couple of games in Philadelphia or Milwaukee. I’m really rooting for another Braves & Phillies series. That was sick last year.
As for me, Shohei Ohtani out-did Clint’s whole team yesterday. He went 4/5 with a homer and a steal. Clint’s team went 4/41 with a homer and no steals. It was a thing of beauty. There’s still some work to do, but I’m feeling pretty good about locking down this championship, although the celebration will have to wait until that Monday double header!
I write this from my sister’s house, where there are four children under the age of six playing with about 137 different toys right now. The abundance of toys kids have is an issue for me, but a topic for a different time. I think we should go back to the days of our grandparents’ childhoods when they just had like a spoon, a stick, and an old wooden tire to play with.
On to Saturday - good luck to all of you out there.
