Re: 8/31 - 9/13 Game Discussion Thread

It's being seen by 70% of the country. While it's not a national broadcast it's definitely being shown in most/all of the major markets.

In no way is this 70% and most/all of major networks.

I'm 6 hours from NYC and not even getting that game.

Was the game you went to in Texas? This game he describes was in Texas...

Yes, I went to the Rangers/Blue Jays series that weekend. Right after the all-star break. Halladay was terrible on Friday. Sunday they had a shot, until Miguel Bautista **** the bed.

That map is outdated as the Cinci/St. Louis rainout changed the schedule. I'm in Iowa and getting Toronto.

And Baltimore/KC is delayed so they can't show that one.

ESPN's Sunday night baseball coverage has always been really picky and it's never really been about the best teams or matchups but about ratings. Sometimes those things collide and they have no choice.

Even though through the last couple years (up until this year) I can't remember the A's being on Sunday night baseball at all despite being to the playoffs the last couple years.

Finally why I came here in the first place. X-rays negative on Tulowitzki. Doing an MRI to make sure, day-to-day.

Yeah it didn't look THAT bad but anything to do with the back is a concern. I'm glad he's relatively okay.

Bautista unties it. Way to shake off the slider, Betances.

Cards are on the verge of being swept by the Reds after the completion of last night's suspended game and trailing today 3-1. Pirates knocking at the door, and the Cubs aren't far behind them.

And the Cubs still have PIT for 7 and STL for 3. This race ain't over for any of the 3 yet.

My bad, it's a four game series with the Reds with the finale tomorrow. But still, losing 3 in a row to them...

Re: 8/31 - 9/13 Game Discussion Thread

Oh, that's a pretty moronic comment, Vasgersian. That Betances has given up 5 HR and 4 have been game-tying or go-ahead HRs....do you not understand that he's only used in high leverage situations? Would you expect him giving up most of his damage in mop up time? That's how bullpens work these days, bro.

Re: 8/31 - 9/13 Game Discussion Thread

Gibby should've started the 8th with a different pitcher rather than make it an even higher leverage situation.

Oh well....

Next week is going to be a huge four game series.

McCann ties it.

No matter the outcome of this game it's been a great one so far.

Hopefully the Jays can pull off a W.
