    Did he? I thought that he and his family were being extremely careful due to his kid being born so prematurely.

    Houston #Astros LHP Kent Emanuel will miss rest of season after receiving 80-game suspension after testing positive for Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (DHCMT), a performance-enhancing substance.

    surprised this wasn't the ruling...

    After hearing that a member of the Astros cheated once again, Manfred has decided to increase Joe Kelly's suspension to 16 games.

    Manfred should be like am umpire and do make up calls.
    He blew the cheating call so now bust each Astro for any technicality you can throw the book at.
    Astros gotta be perfect from now on.

    “The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky theyre going to give Cleveland State another year of probation.”

    That team is so depleted on the pitching side of their roster, it is going to be a fight for them to make it into the postseason. They're fortunate in that the division looks pretty terrible and that the AL is top heavy with 2 really good teams in NY and Minnesota, then 2 good teams in Cleveland and Oakland so they should be able to slide in if the WSox and Rays can't take advantage. This is going to be a big series this weekend for them to see just where they are in that division.

    It's sad that rooting for them to miss the playoffs is not really on the table because of this playoff format. At bare minimum they would have to fall behind the Angels in their division to miss the playoffs, and even then they only have to beat out one of the other 3rd place teams to get in. There will no doubt be a couple sub-.500 teams making the playoffs this year, and it's hard to see the Astros not winning at least 30 games with how many times they play Texas and Seattle.

    The Tigers won in Pittsburgh today. Their second Touchdown of the day proved to be the difference maker as the Pirates moved the ball but struggled in the red zone.

    Tigers 17
    Pirates 13

    If the season ended today, the Astros would be one of four sub-.500 teams in the playoffs.

    After tonight, the Dodgers are the highest scoring team in the league, and the Indians are the only non-Covid team to allow less runs.

    Small sample size, but the Astros are now 0-3 vs teams above .500. In those three games they are averaging 1.3 runs in the first 9 innings, so you can't blame it on the pitching staff.

    Also, Correa said you can't beat the Astros if you only score 1 run (referring to why the Astros deserved to win the 2017 ALCS even though they cheated), but it just happened twice where they were beat by a team that scored 1 run in the first 9 innings.
