Around Baseball 2014

[TBJ12]

Brewers about to lose again.... what an epic collapse (if they don't make it).

 

I'd like to see at least one of Seattle, Detroit, KC or Oakland do the same.

[RealAccountant]

Allright big win by Houston, need to keep momentum going.

 

Not an easy path at all for Seatle, 7 with Angels, 3 with As, 4 with Bluejays, and 4 vs Astros

 

This is no cakewalk for Seattle, hoping for a KC collapse, is a must

[RealAccountant]

Just realized what a cake walk KC's schedule is, mind blown.

 

4 vs Redsox

6 vs Whitesox

3 vs Indians

4 vs Tigers

 

Depressing,

[RealAccountant]

Even easier for Tigers

 

4 vs Royals

7 vs Twins

3 vs Whitesox

3 vs Indians

That's not a cake walk. KC is winless vs. Boston, got swept by Cleveland recently, and don't ask about the Tigers.

4 vs Royals

7 vs Twins

3 vs Whitesox

3 vs Indians

 

And O's fans are not impressed.. it almost guarantees a matchup with the Tigers in the ALDS.

Blue Jays really have to pray one of KC or DET collapses. Blue Jays are going to have to sweep the Mariners anyway if they want to make the playoffs so they can pick up games there.

Yep. If they stay neck and neck we can't get there. We need one of them to fall back, and they don't play each other much more this year which is too bad.

2.87 FIP as a starter is FAP worthy.

 

P.S. See what I did there?

[G-Snarls]

So is the 54.8% GB rate

yup and don't forget Oakland , the Jays best and only chance of making the playoffs is for one of KC, DET or OAK to completely collapse and they overtake the Mariners in that 4 game series at home

 

But no matter what happens with everyone else, they have to go 15-3, the odds of even a 90 win talent team(which the Jays are probably not) doing that are very low, between and 1 and 2 percent. 89 wins might do it too but its unlikely IMO, the odds are slightly higher for 14-4, between 3 and 4 percent.

Orioles destroying the Sox 8-1...

 

Man they're insanely hot right now.

[burlingtonbandit]

Nothing like another sports scandal story! This time involving Jeff Wilpon and the Mets.

"Crap Cushion"(Chris Capuano) is getting lit up by the Rays early on.. say goodbye to the Yanks playoff hopes. Indians got rained out and will play a double-dip tomorrow.

Miguel Cabrera, 144 wRC+ on a gimp ankle. Some guys are just good.

Depressing,

 

Why is it depressing? We didn't/don't have a playoff team.

He doesn't realize that Ned Yost is going to piss away a playoff spot making stupid moves, like he's done in the Tigers series, which has cost them heavily in the standings. Not to mention the Royals are a streaky team, with a good month/bad month/good month/bad month (May and July they were below .500, yet were above in April, June and August.) Based on that pattern, the Royals aren't making the playoffs.

Yes, continue pimping my BBDL team. Excellent.

[bzapple]

Marcell Ozuna has some serious power. Hit one off the center field scoreboard in Milwaukee a couple days ago and just now went to the opposite field, second deck.

[saskjayfan]

and Houston takes an early 2 to 0 lead in the 2nd off iwakuma and the mariners

[saskjayfan]

now 3 to 0 Stros!

[jaysfan2014]

Didn't I warn the Astros/M's series was a trap series? Houston isn't as bad as they were in previous years. And this is a game Seattle needs.. A's and Angels are coming up, and both have good chances to kill the Mariners playoff chances and help KC/DET and Toronto's chances.

[jaysfan2014]

Oh, BTW, whoever loses tonight, Jays will only be 3 out in the loss column on either KC or DET or SEA.

iwakuma vs a guy making his mlb debut....talk about a mismatch...but looking good so far!

[guylaroche5]

3.5 back!!!!!!!!! it's happening

so that suspended game that KC was losing 4 to 2 in the with the top half of the 10th done. They don't replay the entire 10th inning do they. They just play the bottom of the 10th. Is that correct?

Exactly. And with Cody Allen pitching that bottom part of the 10th, the Indians will win that game.

[glory]

Mariners get 2 runs back.

 

Screw the Astros (and Rangers). Screw Texas, period.
