It's far from over. Huge game tomorrow especially with the tiebreaker at stake. Mets win and they essentially have a 1-game lead with 3 to play, so they'd still be favorites to win the division. Braves win tomorrow and they essentially have a 3-game lead with 3 to play, and pretty much wrap it up.

It’s all good. I don’t mind Braves fans prematurely celebrating and jinxing their team.

Mets fans are nuts. Didn't think I'd read the "our guys got outpitched" line again to explain how blame falls squarely on Degrom and Scherzer and none on the offense. Also because "baseball is a game of momentum".

The Marlins have shut down Alcantara the rest of the season so the Braves won’t have to face him next week.

This. He's getting walked in blowouts, with the bases empty, by teams with nothing to play for and that's just dumb.

Grow a pair and throw him a strike. What's the worst that can happen, a 8-1 game becomes a 9-1 game? Lately Torres and Donaldson have really been punishing teams for walking Judge to lead off an inning and it's great to watch.

Just woke up.... better turn on ESPN so I can watch a cutaway to Judge striking out or getting walked on 4 pitches. SUCH EXCITEMENT.

Not sure what the record or score has to do with it. That's what I meant with the no hitter comparison, even if you're not going to win the game or pennant, there's no reason why you should make it intentionally easier on your opponent just because he's chasing an accomplishment. Intentional walks are dumb because giving your opponent a 100% OBP is worse than what he'll do with the bat in his hand, but how often has that happened? It's mostly been pitchers trying to paint or get chases, and when that hasn't happened, he'll walk. They're still trying to get him out, but they don't owe him "challenge pitches".

Pujols sitting on 702 doubles/triples and 702 homers ... 3+ games left in his career if he doesn't come back. And just tied Ruth for 2nd all-time RBI's with 2214, meanwhile slugging better than Ruth the second half. Amazing.

Hey 702guy, did you see my prediction of years ago that Pujols would end on 702 doubles/triples and 702 homers ... and he is sitting on exactly that with 3 games left on his career. So weird. I claim no psionic powers (depending on one's definition of psionic).

Carnac the Magnificient's question: what would be some cool final stats for the PHAT ONE seeing how his doubles and homers stats have been in each others shadow for two decades, nobody has done the 700/700 thing
except only Aaron if you combine doubles and triples, and 702 is the Vegas area code? Voila: 702/702 final stat for Pujols. I can do these things. LOL.

Also Jeff McNeil may be the best pure hitter in all of baseball. He's like a modern day Ted Williams!

Pujols passes Arenado in slugging %, who has been slamming all year around .300 with tons of XBH's. This leaves Cards with pretty sick potential 3-4-5 slots in post-season, Goldschmidt, Arenado, Pujols, all slamming. I don't think they'll do much, but maybe.
