Talking about baseball

Im not sure the Angels are actually giving up on 2025. Today sucked for me, I lost most of my bets. I didnt feel confident last night, but I never do feel confident.

Playoff races right now.

American: Division winners: Toronto, Houston Detroit
Wildcard # 1: Yankees
Wildcard # 2: Redsox
Wildcard # 3: Seattle & Texas tied (1/2 game back of Red sox)

teams within 4 games of final WC spot: Tampa Bay (3 back), Cleveland (3.5 back), KC (4 back)

National League

Division winners: Mets, Cubs, Dodgers.

Wildcard # 1: Brewers
Wildcard # 2: Phillies
Wildcard # 3: Padres

Within 4 games of final WC: Cincinnati (1 game back surprisingly), Giants (3 games back) Cardinals (3.5 games back)

I made the cut off at 4 games back of wildcard because there is still 2 full months of regular season left, and this year more than any I remember, we have seen many teams get hot and cold and win and lose 8-10 games or 10 of 12.

At 4 games back, you have to not only win, but leapfrog in some cases 3-4 team. That is hard to do. So in my opinion anyone more than 4 games back is a seller come trading deadline (thursday). Thursdays are often light days in MLB. A travel day. But this week, extremely so with only 3 games. I think MLB knows the action thursday will take place off the feild.

Cleveland has lost their closer and cannot trade him because he is under sportsbetting investigation. The first night without him, the Guardians blew their lead over the Rockies to lose in the 9th, but the last 2 games cleveland has won handily. I wanted to say Cleveland has figured it out missing their closer, but they wouldn't have needed their closer the last 2 nights.

Tampa Bay @ New York Yankees Today.

My two wagers: Tampa Bay +100 (ML) and over 8.5 total runs.

Game is currently in a rain delay in the bottom of the 5th inning with Yankees winning 7-4. If the game is called as looks likely with the weather forecast, I will lose my Tampa Bay bet and my over 8.5 bet will be declared a no bet (refunded) despite 11 runs already scored. Boy that seems like an unfair outcome.

and it will be the second game involving the Yankees that I had an over bet, the score was over and the wager declared a no bet and refunded.

I was burned as well on a parlay in the game with all players to get over 0.5 hits. Some only had 1 at bat. There should be greater consistency with rainouts from mlb.

The Brewers team is definitely not being respected. They are still +1500, this should be corrected with the Brewers's record. Hopefully the other teams dont get what they were expecting. My only fear right now is how long Jackson Chourio will be not playing and his health/speed when he returns. I obviously feel the Brewrers should be +800. So many teams have to regression, the Dodgers, the Tigers, the Yankees, the Mariners, the Cubs. Not all will, but some should be disappointing. Hopefully the Brewers finish #1 and end of season +750.

The Reds had 7 or more hits in a row and lost. I wonder what kind of odds this broke. Elly Delacruz hadnt hit a home run since June 18th but did today. I would like to know what the parlays would have been for all 7 to get hits and home runs. I wanted to bet on delacruz before his home run but it would have been too late with betting windows closed.

I looked up the Angels last 40 game record, 23-17, which means their first 39 games 16-23. I cannot tell the run differential of the first 39 and last 40. Most likely positive with a winning recordNeedless to say the Angels have to play .600 baseball from here on out to win their division and not get traded away.

I hate seeing this every time I come to the thread talking baseball. I was optimistic at the time, pretty much knew how the Angels would play up until now and the Angels did not meet my expectations. They had had 53 games won today and I thought clearly they would need 55 if not 56 wins today. The Angels improved their team with bullpen help and didnt sell anyone key to the Angels winning. I dont think the Angels fixed the weak portions of their batting lineups and the Angels have not done well enough on defense is my opinion.

I had actually hoped the Angels would just lose already and get eliminated and the Angels are not trying to be eliminated. The Angels ineffectiveness will cost them I assume. I just wish they would go away. How funny would it be if I had to be beaten by the Angels and have this whole year a waste. It's still nice to think so, but I agree with everyone, the Angels were weak buyers like the Brewers were, unable to get power in their lineup(a home run, a walk, a strike out or a fly ball to the wall).

[theywontpayontuesday]

The Brewers have to stay good and winning often or my stomach will be turning. They have been hot for so long, why stop, but they could for no explainable reason. They'll be missing Chourio a lot and they may lose more games with him gone. Because they are such a cohesive team, a team greater than its parts, they cannot lose people.

They ended up finishing the game and my over bet was paid. I didn't watch the second half of the game after the 3 hour rain delay, as I was already out doing other stuff. But I find it interesting that at the rain delay 5th inning, the score was 7-4 and the final score after 9 innings was 7-4. there were no runs scored in the final 4.5 innings after the delay. All 11 were scored before the rain. perhaps something kind of dramatically changed. A major change in wind direction and intensity, or perhaps it was drizzling or raining lightly during parts of that final 4+ innings. Perhaps nothing but it seems like something was different. Either way, my wager won and I got paid when I was afraid I wasn't going to.

Interesting second game of the day (there were only 3) between Atlanta and the Reds. I again had the over, which was 9.5. game was 3-3 after 7 innings and needing 4 runs in final 2 innings, very much in doubt. So the Braves scored 8 runs in the top of the 8th. That put the game over and I stopped watching. A while later I checked my account to be sure winnings had been properly credited and they had not yet been credited. So I flipped the game back on and it was 11-11 in the 10th inning. Apparently the Reds answered Atlanta's 8 run 8th with and 8 run eighth of there own.
That is kind of funny. 3-3 after 7 innings. 11-11 after 8 innings.

I didnt know the Brewers got two left handed pitchers. Looked up the one, he is 3-3 with an era just under 2, 1.98. (Hahahhahaha, he is injured and so is rhe other guy but will be available this season). That's a master, didnt look up the others but there is hope. Also Suarez did nothing at all with Seattle tonight. Maybe he could still plausible be injured from the ball. With Judge being hurt, Ohtani pitching(lessHRs), maybe Suarez and Raleigh will slump together. If so, Mariners dont do as well often enough, maybe my Schwarber HR champ bet looks ok. I bet just over $200, which pays +1600, so almost $4,000 end of year if that one hits. It's +600 now and too cheap for me to bet more. Cal Raleigh pays me $600, was too cheap then too.

Boy there was ALOT of trades today at the deadline. I don't remember past years being THIS active. Maybe they were, but I don't remember it like this. Usually teams add 1 or 2 pieces they think they are missing. This year almost all the condensing teams added multiple players.

Phillies addressed their two needs. A closer and an outfielder. neither is the player I would have preferred, but both an upgrade at a weak position, especially the closer.

When all is said and done, most teams addressed their needs. I guess the two surprises for me were that the Dodgers did very little, (unless I missed something). I guess they think they have all the pieces and just need to get healthy. I mean they DID win the WS last year.

Surprise #2 was the Miami Marlins. Most people thought they would be big sellers, like the Twins were (Twins traded 10 players). there were some Marlin players that would have addressed other teams needs. But the only deal they made was swapping outfielders. Not really selling. Oddly they must think they are still in the race with the team they have, despite that they are 7 games back of final wild card and would need to jump like 4 teams. Strange indeed.

Price was too high, so no deal was made and they were unwilling to bargain for less and had to keep pitchers. I'm also certain the Dodgers didn't do anything. I was really hopeful some Marlins pitchers would go to Milwaukee or Houston. The kid from Pittsburgh made a 2 run error minimum and cost Cincinatti the win ultimately the very first game. Trades don't always work out. Cal Raleigh did get HR 42 today to strengthen his lead.

You are such a fucking (lol) loser(lol) . You
are deflecting and accusing in a confessionary way. What would be wrong with you getting interested in mlb and have something positive to contribute. I would stop thinking of you as a complete fraud to humanized you Dickinson bot.

Best record and essentially lowest odds to win the World Series, the Milwaukee Brewers. The month of August and September will not be anything other than nail biting worried about a slump. Looking ahead, they're playing the Pirates, would have been nice to play them when everyone was beating them X-2,1,0. The Pirates traded away some talent, so hopefully there could be a sweep. The Brewers and Astros both need to defy the odds and take #1 seeds, all teams unsure they will get these things.

I also believed the Yankee game was never continued because the score didnt change so I had initially believed the game was cut short.
