I can't wait 'til Shulman is back.

Bowden Francis has been great this year.

 

That’s probably the best he’s looked.

gg boys, sweep em tomorrow

[Omar]

INB4 - we're going streaking!

 

Great game from Bassit. Offense got it done though it took them a while.

 

Would be nice to get the sweep tomorrow. Then win the series against KC and put ourselves in a great position going into that Texas series.

 

win tomorrow and sweep KC, Oakland sweeps Texas, we can afford to be swept by Texas and still keep the wildcard spot.

Feels good to be back in a post season spot

[Nursehoneybadger]

The playoffs are getting to be more comfortable in thinking they might not be easy to fail at making.

Checked the box, I see Francis was dropping some filth once again.

 

This guy should be given a shot at cracking the rotation next spring. Let him and Alek battle it out for 5th spot

Absolutely deserves it. He has been phenomenal and really seems to be strong mentally. Also, he is a total bro. Definitely a guy one would want to grab pints with. Heard a good interview with him on the radio a few weeks back.

[Jaysareus]

Francis is better than both romano and hicks

[Jaysareus]

I feel bad for oakland

[travisinfla]

Get Green in there to continue getting comfortable

 

id hope he shoves it to the yankees

[G-Snarls]

Wow

 

Reds trailed the Mariners all game until they walk it off in the 9th

Rangers are in free fall mode. Mariners recently as well have come back down to earth. Heck lost a couple of parlays with the Mariners and I was like WTF haha.

 

The one team I actually worry about would be the Yankees who are 7-3 in their last 10 and have won 4 straight. They could go on a run and close the gap. However I think they dug themselves too far in a hole a couple weeks ago. Though still they have 6 games against the Jays so that series will be important.

Francis was great again lastnight. His 12-6 curve is filthy.

[max silver]

I went to the same high school as Matt Stairs. But I graduated.

 

As long as he got his grade 10 all is good.

 

I had grade 10 physics (this is actually true, I was in grade 10 while he was in grade 12) with Chad Kroeger but I at least managed to pass that class unlike Mr. Musician.

The Yankees are way too far back. 0.5% chance of making the playoffs according to Fangraphs.

 

It would take a miracle for them to pass us. They'd have to win all 6 games against us and then on top of it they'd still need help as they'd be a game and a half back of us without very many games left.

 

Then on top of that they would need to pass the Red Sox (doable) and one of the Mariners, Astros or Rangers and it's probably harder to pass one of those teams since they don't play them.

 

Their remaining schedule is cake so they might be able to keep their hopes statistically alive for a while longer but they are cooked.
