They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

Here we go -- and it looks like we're free to cuss as much as we want! There's a decent chance of a tiebreaker situation and they get pretty nutty if there's a three-way tie for either the two WC spots or just the second spot. www.mlb.com/news/mlb-2021-postseason-tiebreaker-scenariosIt's the same story despite the results of the BAL series -- win out and you're in (at the very least in a Game 163 at Fenway).

This is an exciting last weekend… which I never expected. So I take that as a medium-sized victory already.
And… I like the Mariners and Jays, so I can live with being beaten by them…. IF they promise to beat the Yankees.

He went back and added it afterwards.

If they didn’t have to play defense, this would be an absolutely fantastic lineup. As it is, there isa good chance outfield defense is not at all decisive…. a risk worth taking!

Exactly my sentiment when complaining that Verdugo was in vs. Orioles LHPs instead of Schwarber. May they all be treated to multiple cans of corn.

When push comes to shove, teams very often opt for offense in the short run. Added to that is the Sox recent failures to score runs. As you said, this turn toward offense is a risk worth taking.

Geez, this defensive alignment is scary, to the point I hope nobody hits any flyball into the outfield. They have a RF playing CF surrounded by 2 DHs as the outfield alignment from LF to RF is Schwarber/Renfroe/Martinez. And at 2b is Hernandez. Yeeshhhh.
Desperate for offense.

What is the point of pitching to Soto if Vazquez is gonna put the glove four feet off the plate
