20 of the next 23 games against teams ahead of us

[Metallijay]

The next 20 out of 23 game stretch sees us playing teams ahead of us in the WC/Division standings. This 23 game stretch will tell us all we need to know about this team and their chances. Food for thought.

I feel like I'm gearing up for the Super Bowl tonight. Way too pumped for this game.

Weird ain't it? I also have a bit of nervousness about the next 2 series, prob because a 4-5 game losing streak against the division and we are back to square one. I want this team to win so bad lol.

I'm with you guys. In the big scheme of things, this is just one game. But at the same time, a win could add a lot to our momentum and a loss takes some wind out of our sails. Would love to see this win streak continue for another 3 games at least. It's a lot to hope for, but the pitching has been good.

This weekend is gonna be too intense. Tampa vs. NY, us and against the O's, BoSox against Detroit. The standings are definitely gonna be impacted come Sunday night.

We were already playing teams ahead of us all the time, back when we were a bottom-3 team in the league.

What are you nervous about you called the season over in April.......May........early June?!

 

It's amazing how many people think every game is do or die. Sure this is a very important game because it could be the game that gets us to .500 and its against a division rival, but we still have 91 games and are only 7 games back of the division. People need to f***ing relax.

 

Lets just take it 1 game at a time from this point and enjoy the ride. This team is looking more and more like it could rise to the top. Lets keep this streak going.

Im gonna blow your mind.....not everyone is the same and get really invested in their sports teams GASP. Fan stands for fanatic...... there is no right or wrong way to cheer for the team. I am not alone obviously.

Win the series, can't expect to sweep every series, just win the series and play .500 on the next roadtrip or go 3 and 4 and come back home and continue to win at home. If they do better on the road, then even better. Just enjoy the games and stop jinxing the team...season's over for me!

That usually means that we are going to lose, so better calm yourself down.

What's your point? I know everyone has their own opinions and I stated mine. As for people being invested in this team, well I haven't missed a single game yet this season and have already attended 8 games, I would call that heavily invested. I just choose not to be unrealistic.

 

According to many on this board we have already played like 50 do or die games, yet here we are.

the next 10 games are 2 game swings in the standings. they have to win 7 or 8 just to not lose what the 8 game win streak just accomplished. if they get their butts kicked the next 10, it's over.

I disagree. If they go 5-5 over the next 10 its not over by any means. If they lose 7 or 8 then yeah it starts to get overwhelmingly unlikely, but the fact that they are only 7 games back at this point is a great thing with all things considered.

I agree. I think many are underestimating what struggling against division foes after the win streak will to do the teams momentum and mentality

Show me anyone who said anything about a do or die game?

if they go 5-5 they will end up 13 games behind. it will be over.
