Technically tied, but they own the tie-breaker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a combine no hitter heading into the 9th to boot. Then Pressley happened. Sigh. Ah well. A victory is a victory. I have 100% respect for a man continually posting about the Astros, when clearly he is the only one following that team art all around here. 🤣 That's a fan.

Cheers, @Naturalhoosier 🍻 Hell, you should see the blank looks my wife gives me when I try to talk Astros w/her! I need to break up the Reds BS talk...and it gives me and @Proud2BAHoosier something to argue about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Aaron Judge hit a grand slam home run in last night's game against the Red Sawks, in the Yanks 8-5 win. It is his 32nd homer of the season, not too shabby considering he missed 2 months of the season. The Yankees are now officially tied for last place in the AL East with Boston!! WooHoo..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Big series this weekend for Cubs. After inviting everyone back into the wildcard race with horrible play at home vs Arizona followed by losing at Colorado we can't afford any more mistakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 The Reds get a lot of guys picked off... Marte gets picked off first with guys on 1st and 3rd with one out... they end up not scoring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 Reds take a 3-0 lead in the top of the 6th to only to give it up in the bottom of the 6th on a 3 run homer. India hits a 2 run homer for a 5-3 lead. Sims now has walked the first two batters in the 6th inning. Luckily we took him out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down here in Evansville, we have a semi-pro team, the Evansville Otters. They play in the Frontier League. This year, they will be playing for the 2023 Championship! They will be playing the Quebec Capitales. The series starts tonight in Quebec with Game 3 tomorrow night. The series then shifts to historic Bosse Field, where the movie, A League of Their Own was filmed (for you movie lovers). The series is a best of 5. Go Otters!! Just thought I would give an update on the Frontier League Championship series. The Otters came home down 0-2 in a best of 5. They lost a heartbreaker on Tuesday night when they lost 7-5 on a walkoff 2 run homer. So tonight was game 3 and the Otters took out their frustrations by beating Quebec Capitales 14-5!! They live to play game 3 tomorrow night. Go Otters!! Go USA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jv1972iu Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 All things considered, it's been a fun MLB season. Lots of exciting play and players... new names. Very entertaining, imho. I think the new rules helped bring back elements of how I remember the game being played. And there have still been plenty of home runs for the fan who loves the free swingers. Now all we need is to clean up the balls/strikes umpiring issue by bringing in the "RoboUmp". Again, just my opinion. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like 1969 all over again ☹️ Cubs need to shake it off. They are not playing well at all against Arizona. If they can win today/tomorrow, they will be in good shape coming back home. It will get tense if they don't win at least one of the next two. They play Pirates and Rockies at home next week in final home stand, before hitting the road to finish the season at Braves and Brewers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe their mini-rally in the 9th last night will break the offense out... Ross should have never let Steele pitch to Thomas (and, yes, I'm sitting in my armchair with my second guessing cap on 🙂) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 Cubs continue to play their worst baseball at the wrong time. Hope they wake up soon.

IU Scott Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Reds win another 1 run game 3-2 at the Mets. Never fan won easy and had to have Derrick Law close the game. He got Alonzo to ground out with two on and two outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted September 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Reds win 2 way tie-breaker with Cubs and Dbacks, lose 2 way with Giants. They tie the tiebreaker with Marlins, so not sure if they would play 1 game or what. Marlins win 3 way tiebreaker with Reds and Dbacks on the strength of having the best record in common games with the other 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
