What is the current MLB playoff picture with 13 days left in the season?
There are 13 days left in the MLB season, guys. 15 teams fighting over 13 spots. Three divisions still haven't been decided yet. The White Sox have dominated the Central all year. Now they might not even win the Central this year. We may have a team under 500 make the playoffs for the first time ever in a full season. We had a player in Boston eject himself from a minor league game. What? We had a fight over a slide. That is the 12th week in a row they're fighting over the slides. A team in the World Series last year might not even make the playoffs. That would be the Blue Jays. Showy Ohtani is injured. He could be hurt for the playoffs. Might be time to get worried about that. And we might have seen the worst play of the season.
He kicks one. It's not soccer, Jake. He kicks the ball. Throws it back into the catcher. Trawlers off. They fall to 55 and 94. Up paced to lose 100 games again and will not make the playoffs. The Red Sox, however, will make the playoffs. Basically are the only team whose spot is cemented. They're going to get the fifth seed. Just a question of who they're going to play. This week, they got Wilson Contreras back, 153 OPS plus. However, he had a hamstring injury and just struck out on purpose. Tried to eject himself from a minor league game because he was mad at the umpire, but it didn't work.
How likely is it that the White Sox will lose the AL Central despite their dominance?
So he's rehabbing a hamstring injury and AAA takes a ball, realizes he doesn't have pine tar on his bat, calls time, goes to the bench to get some pine tar. Umpire tells him, no, you can't go to the bench to get more pine tar. Contreras is Not happy. Returns to the box. Tells the pitcher to just throw the ball around the middle. Get it over with. He starts waving at the pitcher. Doesn't even take the bat off his shoulder. Looks at this pitch right down the middle. Then takes five straight pitches. Not even pretending like he's going to swing. Strikes out on purpose. Then goes back to the dugout and throws his bat back on the field. It looks like he's basically taking himself out of the game. The umpire does not eject him.
And that ends his rehab assignment. He goes back to Boston. And when asked about it the next day, he says, I don't know. You can go ask the umpire. He's at me, Gary. Thank you.
His name is not even Gary. According to Tyler Millican, it's Daniel.
Yesterday, he adds a picture of pine tar spray to his Instagram story to rub it in Gary's face a little bit more. But goes back to the major leagues, plays for the Red Sox, goes two for three, two hits, a run and a walk. So Wilson Contreras is back. And Peyton Tolley, who we have not talked about, he pitches on Sunday. Nick Lofton comes up to the plate to start the game, strikes him out on three straight fastballs. One, two, three. Strikes him out. Gets Bobby Witt to chase out of the zone in the first pitch of the second at bat. Throws two more high fastballs to Bobby Witt Jr. Three straight fastballs. Then he throws another fastball. Blows another fastball after that. That's his eighth straight fastball against the Royals.
He needs one more
strike. He's on the mound. He's about to throw.
What happened with Wilson Contreras’ rehab‑assignment controversy and pine‑tar dispute?
Maybe an immaculate inning. Look at him. He's laughing. Eight consecutive strikes to begin his ball game. The 0-2.
Strikes down Jack Caglione with another fastball. So this guy throws nine straight fastballs, gets nine straight strikes, strikes out three straight batters on just fastballs. Another great outing for Peyton Foley, brother. The Red Sox will be the fifth seed. It's just a question of who they're going to play. It's either going to be the Yankees or the Rays in the first round. The Yankees enter the week four games back of the division lead, but they got some things going for them. First of all, Aaron Judge comes off the IL. They get to play the Rockies, and they have four more head-to-head matchups against the Rays. Aaron Judge comes up on Tuesday, gets a standing ovation, then goes 0-3 with 2K. However, he did make a diving play on Saturday, so that's a good look.
Anthony Volpe. has returned and all of a sudden Yankees fans love Anthony Volpe. Got sent down in August after having a 646 OPS.
