Pretty much crap with the bat.

 

Excellent defensively though.

He looked like Yankees Joey Gallo

He's playing himself into a Matty Olson type contract, not that there's anything wrong with that.

GG by the Birds, bring on the Brew Crew!

A series win wow, now starts the June tear. 250 baseball against the division and 700 against the rest of the league is still like 90 wins I think lol

Why do you keep saying that? If that were to occur, Jays don't make it in.

[jaysblue]

How is Kirk not on second base?

 

Moreno would have got to second haha

haha cause thats currently how we are playing...roughly. Anyway I think its closer to .300 against the division and .650 against the rest of the league. We could definitely still make the playoffs if that happens just have to win 80 games against the rest of the league.

Probably need 3rd in the division for a playoff spot, though 4th could even get in if the AL West shits the bed. Looks like Texas and Houston gonna make it though.

 

I'd bet the playoffs are going to be 3 from the East, the s***** Central winner, and 2 from the West. Probably going to need 95 wins to be a WC team I think

Texas is not going to make the playoffs

 

Also 95 wins for WC3? That’s insane come on. Last year 92 wins was good for the wildcard seed 1.

Last year didn’t have the AL east teams crushing every other division like paper. Right now WC 3 has a win percentage of .585. Would be either 94 or 95 wins.

 

It could end up lower, but that would require Texas to crash hard while seeing nearly no improvement from any other team currently below them. One probably doesn’t happen without the other

 

And yes, if I had to pick a team to fall out of the race, it would be Texas.

Is this your first time watching baseball??

 

There hasn’t been a single season, i’ve checked the previous 10 years but I would bet it goes back way further than that, where 92 wins wouldn’t be enough for a 3rd wildcard spot.

 

(Assuming the Central team sucks with like 90 wins) You’re saying 5 teams in the American League East/West will have 95 wins or higher?? 5 out of the 10 teams (including Oakland) will have 95 wins??

 

No shot

Balanced schedule - it could very well happen. Good teams get to beat up on more mediocre and bad teams all season long.
