No point crying over spilt milk but that 7 game stretch at home vs. Houston and Texas where we lost 6 straight, including getting swept 4 straight by Texas is huge right now. Especially with three of them being by 1 run and two of them by two runs (one in extras). Just a string of very winnable games.

what if IKF had a bigger lead?

[SpencerBateman]

It’s over 

[SpencerBateman]

Denver Guzman just saved our season.  9 hits 0 runs for rangers so far

[SpencerBateman]

Wyatt Landgord just ended our season

[SpencerBateman]

We chose to go to the playoffs this decade not because they are hard, but because they wre easy to make.

 - JFK.  God bless your soul 

Playoffs hack in menu.  Unless Texas wins

Holy s*** I think every game is going our way

So far yep. But need the Padres to step up

[SpencerBateman]

Cleveland and the twins have turned into the 2001 Seattle mariners.  Winning every regular season game.  But these teams would not be able to handle intense playoff pressure and would choke.  It will be embarrassing for the AL if we don’t get that spot.  People will think the AL sucks.  It will be all over the news.  “Weak AL teams goes down without a fight, strike looms”

[SpencerBateman]

Oakland doing a good job against Houston.  Kind of funny how Oakland had Houston Street, but now they are destroying Houston.  So we can knock Texas or Houston out of that wildcard spot maybe

[SpencerBateman]

The padres are doing it.  Back from 5-1 now 6-5

Old friend Tommy Nance doing us a solid

[John_Havok]

Orioles and Seattle came back to win, but Texas, Houston, and detroit lost. Nance is giving us hope in san Dieago as theyve pulled ahead by 2 over the twins

[John_Havok]

Twins lose. 

Now just need Cleveland to f*** off for a few games. 

[SpencerBateman]

that twins loss was important.  I was about to smash my MacBook Air.  Yea I can afford to buy a new one but I prefer not to

Cleveland worries me because of their annoying end of year run last year.

And they have one of the easiest schedules remaining, so I'm a bit worried.

If any team in the central catches absolute fire, just like if any team in the west catches fire, they likely win the division.

Yes. What cant happen is multiple teams at the top of the West or Central catching fire at the same time. That would be the end of the Jays WC hopes. 

Ideally, The White Sox win just enough to keep the Central while Cleveland and Minnesota play .500ish or worse the rest of the way. 

The West? Just hope one of Houston or Texas keeps sucking and Seattle's offense stays asleep

The Guardians schedule is just as easy down the stretch as the Jays, and both teams have offenses that have an average team exit velo of like 74 mph and have to hit 4 singles an inning to score one run in almost every game. The battle of the "death by a thousand paper cuts" offenses. 

[SpencerBateman]

The guardians also have Kwan.  We now have our own Asian who can get on base

Jays kinda control their own destiny at this point ( i hate that saying..)

But the majority of their remaining schedule is against teams directly still in the hunt for that last WC spot. 

Cle x 3, Seattle x 3, Texas x3, Baltimore x 6 and Detroit x 3.   the only dumpster team is Ath x 3 . Reds x 3 to close out the season and while they're a 5th place team in their division, they have only 2 fewer wins than the Jays as they stand today so ... not a pushover.  The Royals are an X factor team, they've won 7 straight and the Jays get them for 2 of their next 4 series. Absolutely cannot let them be that sneaky bad team that catches you by surprise. 

Basically, the entire rest of the schedule is against teams with similar records as the Jays so they need to separate themselves. 

[Spanky__99]

What happens if the Jays catch fire, schedule looks like they should... Hmm...

[Spanky__99]

Ahh... 'twas mentioned, lol

[SpencerBateman]

Maybe next year

Ok well we are in a bad spot.

 

but twins losing to padres already

texas going to win but if Houston loses they are tied.  So we just need one of those to start losing 

Cleveland is going to be a problem 

[Laika]

Can't complain about the standings at all given where they were a few weeks ago 

[Terminator]

We've got them right where we want them.

Gained a ton of ground during a really tough part of the schedule. Now we've got an off day followed by a very manageable schedule.

The playoffs will be easy to make.
