If you weren’t in full September/pennant baseball mode yet, Yankees-Blue Jays last night likely got you there. A weird, fun, long, back-and-forth game with high stakes that ended on this:
As much as that stings from my perspective – the Jays are tied with the Red Sox atop the AL East and just a game up on Baltimore – it was a heck of a game, and felt like a pace-setter for the next three or four weeks. Giddy up.

It’s September, which means things are about to get a little weirder on the fantasy front. That brings positives and negatives – there may be a few more streaming options and extra bats in the free agent bin, but some of those options will be far shakier, and playing time as a whole will now be distributed across a greater number of players. Team success doesn’t always matter in fantasy team building, except when it comes down to September and competitive teams are the easiest to project playing time for.
Anyway, can we all agree that September should never again be limited to just four games on a day’s slate? This is me, looking for baseball to watch as I got home from a four-day Baltimore road trip:
Yesterday was tough. And there’s not a ton to talk about, so let’s narrow in on what September may bring.
There’s only four baseball games tomorrow, but you have the option of watching your local NFL team’s final preseason game, so win-win right?
