The Rangers called up Ezequial Duran, who they got in the Joey Gallo trade. For those wondering, the current scoreboard is: Yankees: Joey Gallo .3 WAR, 4 months left Rangers: Glenn Otto .7 WAR 5.5 years of service time left Josh Smith, .4 WAR in 5 games, Fangraphs preseason #92 prospect, 6 years of service time left Ezequial Duran #66 prospect in baseball, 6 years of service time left I know that the Yankees got a reliever who they eventually traded to the Mets and gave up another prospect in that trade. Trevor Hauver is now the Rangers 18th ranked prospect at the moment. We should do another scoreboard for the Jameson Taillon trade eventually. Contreras being the Pirates 6th best prospect, Escotto 17th, and Canaan Smith-Njigba 21st. All prospects in both trades (and more) lost in the same season. Edit: Not to mention the prospects lost for Rizzo.

Gonna be so weird when they ban the shift. It'll be a whole new sport. That Devers single was directly to where a 2B used to be positioned.

What a grab by Story to potentially save a run.

I love Pivetta’s swag on the mound Don't look now, but he's on the verge of becoming a legit mid-rotation starter... Edit: I hadn't noticed until just now how abysmal the A's lineup is today, but I still think he's turning a corner.

If Pivetta puts this one away, he should have been 7-2 instead of 5-4.

I'd roll Pivetta out for the 7th on a short(ish) leash. If ever there is a lineup you can mow down three times, this is it.

Wow. The thread is so vacant today that if it were the real world, I'd take this opportunity to helicopter pee.

Story up to a 790 OPS and on pace for a 5 WAR season
He's under his xwOBA by 30 points, after outperforming his xwOBA every single year before this.

All Rockies players outperform their xwOBA, but still, Story is looking awesome right now.

I get what you're saying, but I'm thankful that the format makes the 1-2 seeds a big prize, and 3-4 getting all home games makes those seeds worth fighting for too.
First, piddly little three-game series in the wild card round. In baseball, that is very nearly a coin flip.
Second: The #4 seed is very often going to be stronger than the #3 seed, because the former will be the best team that happened to have an even stronger team in their division while the latter will be the worst team that happened not to have a better team in their division. Compare last season's Dodgers (106 wins) and Braves (88 wins). So we'll still get scenarios like the worst thing about last year's playoffs, which was the Dodgers facing the Giants before the LCS.
Every fan, then, should root for their team to finish with the second-best record in the league. Yay.
I think they did compare them, in the NLCS, which the Braves won in 6 games.

Tapia can throw hard, but he was never very good in his two years in AAA for the Red Sox.
