Can't edit for some reason but should have said 2-3-2 is disadvantage for home team through first 6 games IMO.
Big fan. Hope he plays forever.Ichiro is pitching.
I'm not ashamed to say that he's probably the one MLB player all-time who most closely resembles the way I played baseball and softball. Slap-hitting lefty, occasional power, weird batting stance. Good defensive RF.
I need a Vine of his pitching motion immediately!
Hutchison would have started otherwise so the outcome would likely not have changed.Why in the world did they run Buehrle out there for the second time in three days for a personal milestone, and blow a shot at homefield advantage?TOR has the tiebreaker over KC for the #1 overall, btw.
What exactly are we talking about? Number of shirts produced?I, for one, find all this stuff fascinating and would read every word you're willing to share.If you guys are interested, I can give you updates on postseason business by team/round.
To date thru the Division/PS clinches:
Tier 1: KC, ChiC
Tier 2: NYM, TOR
Tier 3: StL, HOU
Tier 4: TXR, NYY, PIT, LAD
This isn't a true guage yet, as this clinch means more to some markets obviously.
But LCS should be a good barometer. I'll know those next week. Cubs will be #1 clearly by then.

I'm sure there's another soft-tossing homophobe with a dumb name in the minors that'll come up and take his spot.Annyong said:Buehrle is a saint. Wish I would have been able to see his last couple innings.
He's retiring right?
That whole split may be Hutchison. Ok not quite, but close.Looking at home/away splits, KC is more or less the same home and away, so is Toronto's prolific offense.
But Toronto's given up a full run more per game (3.25 to .429) home/road. HFA isn't what it is in football or basketball, but do it for Hutchison's sake, at least. Or to, you know, get the WC winner that's just burned one of their better pitchers in the WC game in the LDS? That's a bigger adv imo.

pssst, he doesn't like youI must've missed something about Buehrle
Well ####, these first two game times suck for me, now I have to not go, pretend I'm working and go anyway or ask my boss for time off to go to a baseball game.I just wish they'd announce the god dammed start time of game 1 Thursday. If it's the night game I'm there, if it's afternoon, I'll have to watch on TV.
This stuff interests me as well, I would think the Toronto number would be very high (whole country is the market)... that said, the postseason hat for the Jays is kind of not good.What exactly are we talking about?

A little surprised the Cubs finished ahead of the Pirates in this measure.

Not at all surprised how much it likes the Blue Jays and Dodgers.
Third-order standings hate historically awesome strand rates. As it should.
MPH really dropped off the cliffI must've missed something about Buehrle
They should bring him back as the 25th man on the roster, as a 2-way player. The world needs more Ichiro pitching. Plus, they could drop to 6 other relievers, go platoons/specialists all over the place and use the benefits of the expanded roster all year.Marlins keeping Ichiro. I guess I can understand the appeal of having a guy get his 3,000th hit on your team. But the Marlins are a better team than they showed this season, and it seems odd to hand $2 million to a guy clinging to replacement level statistically and who'll probably play only about 100 games, if that. Seems more like something a big market team would do.

Yeah, I thought Toronto would be in the top tier.Northern Voice said:This stuff interests me as well, I would think the Toronto number would be very high (whole country is the market)... that said, the postseason hat for the Jays is kind of not good.What exactly are we talking about?

This Astros lineup has the potential to be the worst offense in history.
Altuve may have to steal 3 bases every time he gets to 1b.
I would say it's > 0Eat chit. Their offense still blows.
Zero chance they win the pennant. ZERO
Mark it you zero.
Is that good?Yep. That second highest OPS in all of baseball really blows
