    The Mariners have the Astros for 3 while the Rangers have the s***** Angels, so yeah that's probably what we should be rooting for. I don't want to have to trust anything involving the Angels and winning games.

    Huge win. If the Jays can take 1 of the next 2, it would be a fantastic road trip heading into the final week of the season.

    I hope having Merrifield and Espinal in the lineup for some reason was worth it for JS. Either way good to score 4 runs. Don’t take anything for granted in this s*** hole so more would be better.

    Chapman is a Boras guy so as long as he's healthy he's going to decline. Unless the next 10 days are so abysmal for him that his numbers spiral, but even then Boras could probably do better than 1/20 for him given how bad the FA market is. I think I'm more interested in who the Jays get to fill LF next season. The 3B market is really bad, to the point where just plugging Biggio in there until Orelvis is ready might be the best option. Left field is more important because internally there are no suitable options and they desperately need to add a power bat there.

    The fact that I could totally see all of this happening, point by point, is scary. I think the chances of getting swept in Tampa are pretty high. They are a great home team and the Jays never win there anyway. If the Jays take 1/3, we should probably be happy with that. A 3-3 road trip in NY and Tampa would be a positive in my eyes. Then try to go 4-2 at home. I think 90 wins gets in, but 5-4 with 6 left against Tampa and 2 of the others being against Cole and King is a pretty daunting task.

    Yeah, have to go at least 5-4 in the last 9. They’d still have a shot at 4-5 but they’d need one of SEA/TEX to beat up on the other. Not going to be easy.

    Mitch White tonight: 4 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 10 K, 0 HR
  9. glory
    Keeping pace with everyone and one less game on the schedule. Good stuff.
  10. glory
    I hope Horowitz has at least 20 HR power because his other offensive skills seem to be there.
  11. glory
    The Jays have a hard enough time hitting home runs. Not sure why Merrifield had to be the one to replace Vlad instead of Schneider, but I guess it was a designated off day for DS.
  12. glory
    The Jays began the day as the 2nd WC team, and could end the day out of the playoffs entirely with a loss. That's how close this thing is. Thankfully 7 of the last 10 games for SEA/TEX are against each other, so someone is going to have to lose those games.

    Jays own the tiebreaker over Houston, so if HOU falls off then that would be ideal. Not sure how likely that is though.
  14. glory
    Rangers tie it. Having to count on the Red Sox is never a good thing.
  15. glory
    To be fair to Varsho, if he was in CF all season then he’d have been more valuable overall. It would be like the DBacks acquiring Moreno and putting him at 3B. His value is tied to being a catcher, and Varsho’s is tied to being an excellent defensive CF. KK was a great signing all things considered but it was a mistake to have him and Varsho in the same OF.
  16. glory
    Richards has been awful recently. Not sure why he's getting this spot at this point, although I guess they want to avoid Green and Swanson for a 3rd game in 4 days. Hopefully it works out.
  17. glory
    Kirk might be faster than Stanton. Or it’s damn close.
  18. glory
    Schneider was probably walking out of the dugout to take Kikuchi out of the game, and was shocked there was an injury.
  19. glory
    Damn hope Kooch is okay.
  20. glory
    I really don't see a realistic scenario where the Jays finish with WC2 unless they go something like 8-4 in their last 12 (I wouldn't bet on that). They don't have the tiebreaker against SEA/TEX, and 7 of the last 12 games for both the Mariners and Rangers are against each other so somebody is going to win those games. The Jays best shot at making it might be if one of those teams wins like 5 of 7 in the H2H games, in which case the Jays would be looking at WC3 anyway since I doubt they're doing better than 6-6 or maybe 7-5 against the Yankees/Rays.

    If Oakland takes 1/3 from Seattle that’s probably the best we can hope for, but at least the Rangers and Astros lost.

    They got 2.2m fans the first year their new stadium opened up, but the team stunk and then they had another fire sale immediately afterwards. The last time they finished with a .500 or better record over 162 games was 2009. Between that and their ownership's history, it is likely hard for fans to stay engaged with them. They are competitive this season, but usually the increase in attendance comes the following season after a team turns things around. We will see if next season sees any spike. The Rays have been great forever and still get 8k a night or whatever it is. That's a lost cause.
  23. glory
    I think Miami deserves a bit of a chance to see if a competitive team could bring fans in. That fanbase has been dicked over by ownership so often. If they had the Rays success, I think they'd draw better than the Rays do, but we won't know unless it happens. I agree though, getting the Rays out of Florida and into a better baseball market would have been the ideal scenario. Even if they built a new stadium in Tampa, at least you could have spun that positively as it's moving the team to a better location. This is destined to fail. After the novelty of a new stadium wears off it will be right back to 10k a night. You see teams like the Reds and Pirates where clearly if they start to look good, then the fans will be there in droves. St Pete isn't that market.

    Jimi is definitely going to be the first RP out of the pen if the Jays make the playoffs.

    Getting swept by the Rangers and by Sunday evening being in the 2nd WC spot is some turnaround. This season has been frustrating and intense. Just find a way to get in.
