GDT 2021 | AL Playoff Race and Scoreboard Watching Thread

[TwistedLogic]

There are 25 games left in the season and the Blue Jays are 2.0 games out of a playoff spot. It's coming down to the wire.

 

Use this thread to discuss the out of town scoreboard and the playoff race in general.

[G-Snarls]

Dangerous thread my man

 

I like it

[G-Snarls]

Mariners, Yankees, Red Sox and A's all stumbling to various degrees at the same time, and Jays are inflicting some of it

 

Exciting times!

[TwistedLogic]

Someone on reddit grabbed this screen yesterday. That "streak" column is a beautiful sight.

 

[John_Havok]

Playoff odds have the Jays now at 37.2%. Last week at this time it was like 12%. Not a bad week.

[Solaxys]

 

Still baffling how we are in the race rather than locked it down.

 

But Astros 4 - 2 against Mariners atm

[G-Snarls]

Have to survive these 6 games in 10 days coming up against Tampa

 

Other than that most games are against the Twins and Orioles

The bullpen.

[G-Snarls]

The bullpen.

 

100%

 

Jays have the best starting rotation in the division right now, but that didn't really happen until they got Berrios and Matz settled in

 

Top notch offense that has only faltered occasionally

 

Adequate/good defense

 

Better bullpen/manager first half and the Jays prob have 4-5 more wins right now and in WC 1 position

[Solaxys]

Kelenic double, Mariners tie it

Shocked not to see Tampa near the top!

And add a few more wins with some fundamental baseball with a man on second in extra innings!

[BigCecil]

SEA continuing to defy gravity. I find it hard to route for HOU but in this situation I must, not that it affects any outcomes...ever.

[Solaxys]

Marmalejos scores two for Mariners with a single against Pressly; 6 - 4 Mariners

[Solaxys]

Crawford 2-run HR; Mariners 8 - 4.

 

Probably safe to say, they win this one.

 

Edit: Mariners win 8 - 5 (Bregman solo HR bot 9th)

As wining atm 5-1

[Eat My Shatkins]

Bad night on the OOT

 

Bosox win

M's win

A's winning

 

Jays took care of their own s*** though, which is the main thing.

We moved closer to a PS berth, 1.5 back... win tomorrow .5 game back.

Before today's games:

[Stangstag]

Yanks just lost Taillon. We're a much better team than them.

 

And we’ll see how Cole is too...

[wilko]

Yanks just lost Taillon. We're a much better team than them.

 

Should have kept his name James...

[Krylian]

Yanks just lost Taillon. We're a much better team than them.

 

But we're much less lucky.

[Solaxys]

A's winning again,

[Spanky99]

Manaea is dealing. Lots of ball left.

[Spanky99]

How did LaRussa not pinch hit for Hamilton, da fuq?

[InvincibleTiger]

Well at least the Yankees and Red Sox are down.

[Spanky99]

Bosox creeping back, 4-3 in the top of the 7th. C'mon Chisox.

[Stangstag]

Didn’t the Rays go something like 17-1 against the Orioles this year?

 

Meanwhile we’re near .500 against them
