    Well Seattle's done. Now Detroit has to beat Atlanta and Cleveland to force a tiebreak with either Toronto or Baltimore (or both), depending what happens tomorrow. Detroit cannot afford a choke job with Verlander and Fullmer going the next two games. Games of interest in the AL: Toronto (Sanchez) vs. Boston (Price on a limited pitch count to tune up for the postseason) Detroit (Verlander) vs. Atlanta (Teheran--FINAL game ever at Turner Field) Orioles (Gausman) vs. New York (Cessa) Cleveland (Tomlin) vs. KC (Kennedy) Monday Cleveland (TBA--likely Merritt or Plutko) vs. Detroit(Fullmer) Detroit really can't afford tiebreakers--they're looking at Boyd/Norris/Zimmermann(who was awful tonight) having to pitch tiebreak and potential wild card games vs. the Jays and/or Orioles.

    1. Detroit lost.
  3. jaysfan2014
    Jays clinch at least a Game 163 on Tuesday with this win. Detroit now must win ALL of their remaining games to force a tiebreaker.. otherwise, it'll be Baltimore and Toronto in the AL Wild Card.
  4. jaysfan2014
    Aaron Blair has 8 Ks thru 5 vs. the Tigers--who knew that he'd dominate the Tigers lineup? And Zimmermann's done.. not an impressive outing, but the Tigers need this game or the best they can do is risk a tie with Toronto and Seattle (and boy, if it ends in a 3 or 4 way tie, MLB's gonna have a big mess..)
  5. jaysfan2014
    Trumbo was out by a mile. Now let's see if the Yanks can destroy Gallardo..
  6. jaysfan2014
    Man it's wet in NY right now--surprising they're playing.
  7. jaysfan2014
    Red Sox are having issues themselves--they're about to lose 2/3 to the Yankees. At this point, it wouldn't be shocking if the Jays win at least 1 in Boston and force a game in Toronto Monday/Tuesday depending on the tiebreak situation..
  8. jaysfan2014
    That stunk. But I still expect us to be back here for a tiebreak or the wild card.. I don't see Detroit sweeping Atlanta.. considering the Braves have been strong this month.
  9. jaysfan2014
    At least one of them will be back, especially considering both will have qualifying offers attached.
  10. jaysfan2014
    Jays are going to need to win at least 1 in Boston to at least guarantee a tiebreak. And I don't trust Detroit winning in Atlanta--anyone who's watched the Tigers this season has been frustrated..
  11. jaysfan2014
    Unlikely to happen--Sox aren't going to use all regulars if there's nothing more to play for, especially if Texas clinches tomorrow night.
  12. jaysfan2014
    Anywhere there's no rain expected and not being used by its home team--and Milwaukee's available, as they're on the road..
  13. jaysfan2014
    MLB will take action before that happens--including moving games to a neutral site. They have to get them in..the wild card race is already really messed up as is, and this series isn't helping.
  14. jaysfan2014
    The Jays only have one job--win 1 game to pretty much guarantee at least a tie in the wild card. And they're not doing it.. lucky thing Boston will likely be resting a lot of starters this weekend with the team unlikely to catch Texas if they lose to the Yankees tonight.
  15. jaysfan2014
    The chances of the O's winning 3 of 4 are slim.. Yankees have played Baltimore hard, plus it's at Yankee Stadium. And it's Gallardo and Miley for two of the games..
  16. jaysfan2014
    Those three wins vs. Atlanta cannot be guaranteed for Detroit--Atlanta is 15-9 this month, plus Detroit has ZImmermann, Farmer for the 1st 2 games, with Verlander Sunday vs. Teheran.
  17. jaysfan2014
    So here's the situation: 1 win and 1 Detroit loss--Jays clinch a tie in the 2nd wild card 2 wins - Jays clinch a wild card 3 wins (or 2 wins and 1 O's loss as the Jays hold the tiebreaker)- Jays clinch 1st wild card. Either way, barring a meltdown, we're playing a wild card game next week. Especially with the Red Sox unlikely to have many regulars in the lineup with likely no chance of catching Texas for best record.
  18. jaysfan2014
    Shut up. Jays only need 1 win and a Detroit loss to clinch a share of the wild card and 2 to clinch. And Boston likely rests starters this weekend since Texas is likely to clinch best record in the AL, and the Sox are destined to play Cleveland.
  19. jaysfan2014
    INF/OF Andy Burns and pitcher Chris Smith recalled from Buffalo as well.
  20. jaysfan2014
    What a dumb question. Obvious it's Edwin--Bautista won't get anything close to the $30M/year he wanted earlier this year. And I expect one or both to be resigned by the Jays..
  21. jaysfan2014
    4-3 on the road trip is not bad..
  22. jaysfan2014
    Ben Revere has been garbage in Washington. .261 OBP, but the D's been good. However, his numbers have been so awful Washington stopped playing him regularly.
  23. jaysfan2014
    Louvollo's still in the mix for the Boston job if Farrell gets fired if the Sox are bounced early and/or they fall into the wild card and lose the WC game..
  24. jaysfan2014
    And you can count out the Red Sox as well from getting EE or Bautista. With $200M already committed for 2017 and needing multiple arms in the bullpen and possibly another starter (Bradley might get dealt for pitching), plus Boston already deep into repeater tax penalties (may face a 40% penalty in 2017 if they're over the tax). More likely they go after Beltran or Napoli for DH as a short term option until some younger players like Devers and Travis are ready. Unless they move HanRam or Sandoval (0% chance because HanRam, despite the rebound, has too much money committed for anyone to take on, and no team will take Sandoval), Boston won't be able to afford to make any big moves this offseason.
  25. jaysfan2014
    What I meant was big winning streaks by Seattle has also been offset by large losing skids.. why do you think this Mariners team is barely in contention? This team just lost 2/3 to Houston.. Seattle's odds of the postseason are long shot at best, just like Houston.
