August 27, 20197 yr Having the minor league teams make the playoffs and do well can be an early indicator of what to expect for the future big league club. Plus the playoff atmosphere, albeit at the minor league level, can somewhat help prepare the players for what is to come. Here is the current playoff statuses for each affiliate. NOLA Baby Cakes: Eliminated Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp: 2.0 GB with 6 to play (E# of 5) Jupiter Hammerheads: Eliminated Clinton LumberKings: 4.0 GA with a magic number of 4 for the 2nd half wild card Batavia Muckdogs: 1.5 GA with a magic number of 7 to clinch the division GCL Marlins: Tied with GCL Mets (ahead on win%) with a magic number of 5 to clinch division DSL Marlins: Eliminated
August 27, 20197 yr Author [ATTACH]3196._xfImport[/ATTACH] Since Biloxi won the 1st half, the 2nd half would go to the overall 2nd best team, which Pensacola has already clinched. Jumbo Shrimp need to win the 2nd half over Biloxi.
August 27, 20197 yr Author [ATTACH]3197._xfImport[/ATTACH] The Cedar Rapid Kernals already won the 1st half wild card so are in. Clinton can win the 2nd half division or wild card. Winning the division would give home field over the other team in the first round.
August 27, 20197 yr Author [ATTACH]3198._xfImport[/ATTACH] Batavia Muckdogs can outright win the Pinckney division or take the wild card which they are currently 1.5 GB of.
