The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole

So Jason Benetti gets to call the Tigers clinching a playoff birth...while also calling the Sox clinching most losses in MLB history.

How very ironic.

I missed the clincher due to high school football.   Astonishing.  21-34 run through May and June, followed by wheel spinning for a month.  Sellers at the trade deadline.  Flaherty, Chafin, Kelly, Canha, Urshela, all gone.   Baez hurt and ineffective.  Down to two starting pitchers.   No position player older than 29.   Pitchers with ERA's around 6.00 in the minors.
   Getting Carpenter, Greene, and Meadows all healthy certainly helped.   Baez to the IR was addition by subtraction.    Anybody who tells you they saw it coming during the first week of August is lying.
   The ones you don't see coming are the most fun.

Yup, didn't see this Brewers season coming but it's been a great 6 months of ball.  Lot of fans have been waiting for the bottom to drop out and say "I told you so".  They've missed a fun year

So if the Braves and Mets split tomorrow's make up double header, they both make it. If one gets swept the D-backs make it. Brewers will either host Mets or D-backs so they'll probably want the Braves to win game one meaning the Mets will have to play to win in game two.

If I'm the Mets/Braves, I'd have some type of gentleman's agreement on the second game of tomorrow's doubleheader.

True, but the Braves burning through Sale tomorrow would be lame.

I know it won't happen, they should agree to forfeits.

I don't think you really need a gentleman's agreement. Whomever wins that first game is just going to throw a bunch of junk out there for the second. If you can't win that game with your season on the line...

Exactly.

The winner of game 1 is resting everyone of note in game 2

Baseball bound to happen in that second game.

Lol, yeah you are probably correct. Some spot starter pitches a two-hit CG and is never heard from again.

And if the Mets and Braves split, I don't want to hear any whining from the Diamondbacks. They had 73 chances to win one more game.

Including blowing an 8-0 lead to the Brewers.

I agree with you...but this is a pretty unfortunate situation for MLB in general. They could have avoided this mess. Re-scheduling an April rain before September, and looking at a weather forecast would have been better solutions.

Yep. That's the only part that they could have a gripe with. MLB could have gotten these games in last week if they just paid attention to the weather and slid them up a bit.

Holy hell all time

Whoever wins game 1 of the double header should pop champaign between game 1 and 2.  See the effects of alcohol kick in as game 2 goes on.  Plus get the hangover recovery started earlier to prepare for game 1 tomorrow.

Big rally for the Mets in game 1 after looking dead

down 3-2 with 2 on no outs still

Braves use all of their high leverage relievers in game one and blow a big lead.

To be fair it snow balled so quickly that Jimenez and Iglesias only combined for 20 pitches

They are fine for game 2.

But yeah brutal collapse to add pressure
