Who holds the season tiebreaker between STL and ATL?

I am pretty sure there is a playoff

[pebadger]

Odds that this game is settled in 9 and still gets done after the AZ/Dodgers game?

Who holds the season tiebreaker between STL and ATL?

They would do a play-in game if that's what you are asking. Maybe you were wondering were they would play it, which I don't know.

[razzzorsharp]

That was ball 4.

[pretendastronaut]

There would be a one game playoff between Atlanta and St. Louis. Season series only determines who gets the home game.

[pebadger]

Play-in game would be in STL per BA and Rock earlier in the broadcast.

[Bernman23]

Lucroy swung at ball 4. I'm surprised he got any lift on that baseball because it was practically on the ground. Kottaras was the percentage play, but Lucroy could have paid off if he didn't decide to swing ahead of time.

[jason21nl]

ball 4 but he still hit it pretty well.

St. Louis.

[owbc]

So the Marlins just acquired Ozzie Guillen? I can't wait to hear his thoughts on Marlins' ownership when things go sour.

I didn't see Lucroy's AB, but keep in mind that with 2 strikes, he needs to swing at anything that looks like it's going to be close.

It almost bounced before he hit it.

no clue how he hit the ball in the air. That should have been a weak ground out

[moofnelson]

Dbacks with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 6th. LA making a pitching change.

[endaround]

Cardinals just small balled themselves out of the 10th

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Prince is just taking the fired up gamer to a whole new level. Between sticking around for an hour after the game on clinch night and the fire he's showing tonight...he's really getting me pumped for the playoffs.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Swing and a miss...the Dodgers hold the DBacks. Still 3-0 after 6.

[moofnelson]

The Dbacks, with 1 out and the bases loaded, strike out twice to end the inning. I guess they're choking. The Dbacks were batting a ridiculous .396 as a team with the bases loaded so far this year. 3-0 Dodgers.

[jason21nl]

LA got out of it!

[topper09er]

That Lucroy pitch reminds me of an important gameday point. I am pretty sure gameday shows you where the pitch is when it crosses the front of the plate. This is the official definition of a strike, however, in practice it is really where it crosses the batter and that is how it is called. Therefore low pitches always look on the border on gameday but end up lower to the batter, and high pitches may come down to the zone at the batter but look high on gameday.

[pebadger]

Cards about to lose to Houston.

[moofnelson]

Lead off double for the Dodgers. Cardinals can't beat the freaking Astros. Time to check out STLtoday.com to see how Tony blew this game.

[topper09er]

Lead off double for the Dodgers.

And they bunt him over, nice

[sdcheezhd]

Again horrible play by the Cards. Error sets up the walkoff. They sac twice to set up 2d and 3d with 1 out and fail both times. Their late surge has been very strange.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Haha...Cards lose on a squeeze. Braves are still toast though. 'Stros used up Wandy & Melancon tonight...they'll have nothing left the next two games. Maybe Meyers on Wed, but the Cards still probably get a one gamer out of it.
