Five biggest questions for final week of 2021 MLB season: Division races, 50-homer mark, more

4. Who gets the No. 1 pick?
The drama of the final week isn't reserved for teams at the top of the standings. Rather, the Baltimore Orioles and Arizona Diamondbacks are competing to finish with the worst record in the majors, thereby locking up the No. 1 pick in next year's draft. They enter the final week of the season with identical 50-106 records.

The Orioles would appear to have the tougher slate -- a good thing when viewed through this context -- as they'll play the Red Sox and the Blue Jays. Fresh off a weekend series against the Dodgers, the Diamondbacks will play the Giants and the Rockies to close out the year.

Next year's draft is shaping up to be a good one. If the draft were held tomorrow, Florida prep outfielder Elijah Green would likely be the No. 1 pick.

OK, which team does a better job of "tanking it" the final 6 games to get the #1 pick, Arizona or Baltimore?

Devin Williams likely to miss Milwaukee Brewers' postseason run after reliever 'punched a wall'

The Milwaukee Brewers will likely be without top setup reliever Devin Williams for the playoffs after the right-hander broke his pitching hand after punching a wall after having a few drinks following Sunday's game that clinched the National League Central division title for the Brewers.

Entire article: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id...-brewers-postseason-run-reliever-punched-wall

I FOUGHT THE WALL
I'm breakin' bones after that... home run
I Fought the Wall and the ... wall won
I Fought the Wall and the ... wall won

I searched for a cooler, but I ... found none
So I Fought the Wall and the ... wall won
I Fought the Wall and the ... wall won

I lost my start and I feel like hell
My playoff hopes are gone
Whatt a sh*tty way to hit the DL
I Fought the Wall and the ... wall won
I Fought the Wall and the ... wall won

(Instrumental Break)

I tried to trash the bowl in . . . the john
But I Fought the Wall and the ... wall won
I Fought the Wall and the ... wall won

After surgery my season ... is done
I Fought the Wall and the ... wall won
I Fought the Wall and the ... wall won

I lost my start and I feel like hell
My playoff hopes are gone
What a sh*tty way to hit the DL
I Fought the Wall and the ... wall won
I Fought the Wall and the ... wall won

:lol:

It is insane that a 106-win team has a 1-game wild card playoff when they have the second-best record in the league.

As a life long Giant fan I love it. Good luck Cardinals in the NL wild card game.

The Red Sox will host the Yankees in the AL wild card Tuesday.
Tuesday, Oct. 5: AL Wild Card Game (ESPN, 8 p.m. air time, 8:08 p.m. ET first pitch)

The Dodgers will host the Cardinals in the NL wild Card Wednesday.
Wednesday, Oct. 6: NL Wild Card Game (TBS, 8 p.m. air time, 8:10 p.m. ET first pitch)

Toronto is the one team that missed the playoffs that really had the talent to go somewhere. If only they had bolstered their bullpen much better and more quickly, they legitimately could have been a World Series contender.

I had to mute those insufferable assholes by the second inning last night.

Jesus. MLB announcers usually don't bother me but holee fuck.

I guess I never paid attention to the ESPN broadcasts before but right on cue for ESPN, that was nauseating.

I'm no Cardinals fan, but the thought of the Dodgers spending all of that money only to get eliminated in the wild card game, on their home field, is just too hilarious.

Go red birds. Yankees are out, let's send the Dodgers packing too.

Especially with the Skankees being shown the door yesterday in a similar situation with the money and all that.
