MLB Daily Notes - September 29th
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.
Today would be the final day if it were the final day. But it’s not the final day. Here’s the championship box score right now:
There is nothing special happening offensively on either side, but Clint has taken the stink to a different level. He’s really struggling, and I’m very happy about it. I have these marvelous pitching ratios, but I keep having all of my guys scratched. Blake Snell didn’t start yesterday, and Cole Ragans will not make his second start of the week with the Royals clinching. Same with Tanner Bibee and Michael King. It was an absolute disaster to play the finals on this final week of the MLB season. We usually don’t do that, but whoever is the commissioner of this league forgot to change the schedule settings this year. I’m not going to point any fingers at the commissioner because I can’t turn my hand backward like that.
The American League is officially set, and the Braves are suddenly looking very good on the NL side. The Braves have won five in a row, the Mets have lost three, and the D’Backs have lost two.
The Pirates have more wins than last year. If they add one win per year, I’ll be a very excited boy in about 15 years.
There will be much to write about this 2024 season, but it will not begin now. I plan to kick off my team reviews and previews pretty much right after the playoffs conclude. I love doing those so much.
So, we’re on to Sunday. The last day of the season for 28 teams. The double header tomorrow could get canceled if the Braves win and the Diamondbacks lose, so maybe we are looking at the end.
Have a good Sunday!
