Playoff Standings Watch

[Maulbert]

Alone in first, for a few hours at least, anyway.

 

[Ruminator]

C'mon, Twins!

 

[Chapow]

Texass was bound to end the losing streak at some point. It's almost as hard to lose 9 in a row as it is to win 9 in a row in MLB.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Twins pitcher in the 9th was awful, basically gave Texas the win.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Guardians take the lead over the Blue Jays in the 8th.

Twins coming back against the Rangers, down 5-4 now.

Looks like Astros will win.

 

[Ruminator]

Looks like Astros will win.

I don't know, they're only up 14-0 in the 8th...

 

[Echawks]

Guardians up 4 now

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Guardians win.

Twins tie it in the 9th and go to extras.

 

[sutz]

Twins in 13. Sole possession of the AL West right now!

It's almost ridiculous how little attention and respect we get from national media outlets like ESPN. Here we're the hottest team in baseball now, and it's hard to even find us anywhere near the top of an online page.

I watch some MLB Network here and there. They've been positively gushing over the M's for a month now.

I was talking ESPN in particular, the biggest sports thing out there.

Ah, gotcha. ESPN seems like it's like 60% football news/stories/coverage, and 40% everything else.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

If you want baseball coverage, you need to watch MLB Network. Outside of major baseball stories, ESPN and national media really only talk about baseball during the playoffs. I listen to national sports talk and it’s 75% NFL in July and August. Even basketball gets more attention in the off-season than baseball does during the regular season.

But yes, MLB Network is pretty high on the M’s. I watched a segment where they said they have the best pitching in baseball and they are set up to make a deep run. I completely agree with them.

ESPN only cares about NFL and NBA. 99% of the time that's what they are covering. MLB Network and MLB dedicated YouTube channels and podcasts have been talking M's. Also, MLb.com has the M's ranked 4th in their latest power rankings.

Hope Asterisks' 17 runs yesterday is just an outlier and not the beginning of anything stupid like many more cans of whoop-ass for the rest of the season.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I hate the Cheatstro's more than any team in any sport. However, they're far from being done.

 

[sutz]

The schedule makers hit it on the button for ratings this year. Last 10 games are 7 against the Texans and 3 against the 'Stros.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

And at home. HUUUUUGE

 

[sutz]

And at home. HUUUUUGE

I believe the first series in that period is at Texas. Then home for the last 6.
