postseason is shaping up nicely if Red Sox can hold the east. Even if Yankees survive their elimination game they get the Indians. And Evil will be purged once again

Jesus Christ. Matt Olson has 22 bombs in 171 at bats.

It's ****ing nuts that what Gary Sanchez did this year has essentially been beaten/replicated 3 times.

3 run job for Stanton, 55!

When was the last time Kershaw gave up a grand slam?

Stanton hits number 55, Gordon steals number 55.

55 is the lowest number of home runs in a season that no player has ever hit.

I believe that was the first. A bomb from Altherr.

I've read this three times and still don't know what it means

No player has ever ended a season with 55 home runs.

Thats the lowest. Between 1-61 every other number is taken. 53 was the lowest until Chris Davis did it. 53 is the only other number lower than 59 that hasn't been done at least twice. And everything 52 or lower has been done at least 5 times.

A player has had a season homerun total of every number 1-54, but nobody has finished a season with 55 HRs.

meaning that someone has finished the season with every integer from 0 through 54 but never 55

Sandy Leon has an ops of .628. Glad his start was just a heater.

Chapman closes out the Twins with a 5 out 16 pitch save, the last of which 104 ****ing MPH gas down the goddamn chute. Sexy

arizona really giving this san diego bullpen a tough time! good job arizona good effort!

Arguing with randoms about lineup construction on twitter.

I've hit a new low.

Well if you're the suspect, you want to be on the right end of the lineup, from the perspective of the witness. Most witnesses approach a police lineup like they're reading a book; they go from left to right. Chances are they've picked who they want to burn for the crime before they get to the end. I mean... they came all the way down to the police station, missing the rerun of Barney Miller, so they're not going home empty-handed. What if they get to the end and it's definitely not the guy?

However, being on the left end of the lineup isn't terrible, because a witness isn't going to blow their load on the first suspect. It would stand to reason that positions two and four would be almost as advantageous as one and five, with the middle being the worst, but conventional wisdom is often wrong. Three is too symmetrical, it looks like you weren't really looking at the suspects and picked the guy in the middle, so position three counter-intuitively just edges out two and four in terms of suspect favorability.

From the perspective of the police, trying to get a certain guy fingered, the above guidelines generally apply, with the caveat that you know (but the witness doesn't) where the floor has a slight hump , adding an extra inch to the height of a suspect, relative to the two guys next to him.

All things being equal, suspects will more likely identify the taller suspect. So let's say the high point of the floor is in position four. If you want Widow Chambers to say Jimmy No-Nose bludgeoned her for her social security check, place him in the fourth position with the two shortest guys next to him. Bam! Star witness.

There really isn't anything to argue about.

If this is a troll of my post, I don't get it.

I'm rooting for you to win. So hard I want an all nl west WS

You can add another season to that streak. I'm guessing 59 for Jimcarrey Stanton.

The debate over MVP voting in the NL will be exceptionally annoying this year.

Also, some rookie guy named Matt Olsen has 22 HR in 54 games. What the heck? Ball isn't juiced.

Aaron judge, 55
