Do you guys think it's worth it to lose long games on purpose? Detroit already has starters injured, I'm sure they could've done without using Porcello in relief.

No. Especially with a small division lead like Detroit over Cleveland in that situation. If it was the Angels vs. Red Sox and the Red Sox mailed it in, I guess it would be fine.

tulo might endanger his first ballot status at his rate, plays half a season again but gets 5+ WAR.

From what I read, it didn't look intentional, Fiers just looked shaken up.

Orioles slugger Chris Davis has been suspended for 25 games by Major League Baseball for testing positive for amphetamines, the league announced Friday morning. The suspension includes the postseason.

...

Davis has released the following statement:

"I apologize to my teammates, coaches, the Orioles organization and especially the fans. I made a mistake by taking Adderall. I had permission to use it in the past, but do not have a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) this year. I accept my punishment and will begin serving my suspension immediately."

Will Oakland even make the playoffs this year?

I guess it takes more than a Hollywood movie being made about you to make you a genius GM.

The Mariners really battled tonight. If Oakland keeps choking, we have a real shot at the wild card. What a ride this season has been so far.

With Oakland plummeting down the standings, all I can hear in the back of my mind is Raynor's voice saying "I'm not the type of guy that says I told you so..but I told you so!"

Likely a 3-way tie for the AL Wild Card after tonight. I would so love if the Mariners actually made it...

Personally, I don't think they were playing over their heads. The numbers at the start of the season don't support that. I think that trading Cespedes was a big part, not because he was a world beater, but because he protected other guys in the lineup. Pitchers don't have to worry about his bat anymore and don't have to give good looks to guys that would have benefited from have Yoenis batting behind them.

Plus they've had a metric crapton of injuries over the past two months.

It's frustrating for them for sure, but Angels fans like myself are thankful

What a time for Mariners Pitching to start choking. MLB really screwed us with the schedule this year x.x

Really cool that KC made the playoffs. I have no problem saying that, as a Tigers fan, I would bandwagon the shit out of the Royals if they made it to the world series. Would be epic.

I don't like baseball anymore but I grew up a Royals fan and it's pretty cool to see everyone around here going crazy over it. KC sports have been completely awful for a long time (minus the soccer team that's pretty new), and it's cool to see the Royals come back to respectability for at least one year. 29 years is a long time.. just like it's been 21 years since the Chiefs won a playoff game. If it wasn't for the worst choke job / bad injury luck I've ever seen, the Chiefs could've got that monkey off their back earlier this year too.
