Detroit make the postseason after 10 years and trading their best player at the deadline. That's called failing upwards

Unexpected. Of all the seasons. Meant to be a rebuilding year. Take what you get.

Javier Baez being on the injury list is the reason. Guy is absolutely trash. He’s a cancer. Glad he isn’t apart of the postseason push

Give it about 28 and a half hours.

I've gone from depressed to very depressed!

Sorry for my incredibly bad call.

No worries! Losing the A's is genuinely sad, but Swans getting smashed in a Grand Final has happened so often it's becoming comical!

So Twins completed their collapse out of the playoffs.

Mets and Dbacks both trying to collapse, who will collapse worse?

Jed Hoyer “If we were in the American League, we’d be in the thick of it.”

Genius.

Nats have a bright future.

So if Arizona finishes on 89 wins and Atlanta wins tomorrow do Atlanta clinch wildcard regardless if they lose the 2 vs Mets?

The MLB website is saying the Braves are 1 win away for qualification.

So the Braves stand a game ahead of both the D-backs and Mets in the battle for the National League’s final two Wild Card spots. Atlanta can clinch a postseason berth with either a win over the Royals on Sunday, or a D-backs loss to the Padres.

Even if the Braves clinch, there is a chance they would still have to play Monday’s doubleheader against the Mets, if the Mets have not yet clinched. New York holds the tiebreaker over Arizona.

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Go braves!!

 

[RPCB]

This is beyond annoying

So Arizona will qualify only if one team wins both games of tomorrows double header.

So Arizona will qualify only if one team wins both games of tomorrows double header.

With the Wild Card series starting the next day, whoever wins the 1st game tomorrow clinches a wild card so will probably just rest all their starters and pitch a bullpen game in game 2 (using only relievers for an inning or 2, and starters for an inning that are due for their sideline session between starts).

Big advantage to Braves or Mets over D'backs who can only watch on and pray.
