If win continue to win at our current pace, we'll win 19 or 20 more games this season. given the fact that there will be call-ups and trades along the way, I'll take the under on either of those win numbers for the remainder of the season. We'll pick second or third.

Good God, the Astros are terrible. I haven't glanced at the ML standings in a while.

I think Seattle is the team to worry about here. Their unspeakable offense could cause them to go into more double digit losing streaks. The Cubs have underperformed and amazingly didn't deal any of their veterans - I expect them to play slightly better the rest of the way meaning Baltimore should stay ahead of them in the race to the bottom. KC is a concern - but they seem to be showing a little more life than Baltimore right now. In the end, I think Baltimore will hold on to #2, but beware of a free falling Mariner team - especially if they shut down Pineda.

1. Houston: 38-77 (39 games under .500)

2. Baltimore: 44-68 (24 games under .500, 7.5 GB)

3. Kansas City: 49-66 (17 games under .500, 11 GB)

4. Chicago Cubs: 49-66 (17 games under .500, 11 GB)

5. Seattle: 49-65 (16 games under .500, 11.5 GB)

6. San Diego: 51-65 (14 games under .500, 12.5 GB)

7. Minnesota: 51-64 (13 games under .500, 13 GB)

8. Oakland: 51-63 (12 games under .500, 13.5 GB)

I put KC ahead as its final 2010 record was worse than that of the Cubs.

KC got closer to #2 after playing the AL East for a stretch. My guess is our remaining schedule is much harder, but I haven't run the data.

1. Houston: 40-84 (44 games under .500)

2. Baltimore: 47-74 (27 games under .500, 8.5 GB)

3. Kansas City: 51-74 (23 games under .500, 10.5 GB)

4. Seattle: 53-69 (16 games under .500, 14 GB)

5. Chicago Cubs: 54-70 (16 games under .500, 14 GB)

6. Minnesota: 54-69 (15 games under .500, 14.5 GB)

7. San Diego: 56-70 (14 games under .500, 15 GB)

8. Oakland: 55-69 (14 games under .500, 15 GB)

I don't have the energy to type out the whole standings, but we're now only .5 games ahead of Minnesota and KC for #2, and Seattle is 2.5 games behind us. Yet again, it looks like we're on the verge of a decent late season run that will cost us a few slots in the following draft.

Yes, I want us to get the #2 draft pick and no, I don't get too excited about Clay Rapada coming in and pitching well. I don't see what success in September has to do with future success for this team.

      I think Urias fits perfectly on next years team.    A decision has to be made on Ortiz or Westburg, unless they just don’t carry much value around the league, which is unlikely. Urias is a perfect back up IFer.

      I used the only information that’s available. If I did anything else it would no doubt be treated with accusations that I wouldn’t want to deal with. I did read an article that says the Wonderlic was replaced by it in 2022. There is no saying whether he took it or scored. BTW, Bryce Young scored 98% according to reports. While I like the Bama guy I think his height and light build are against him no matter how smart he is.

      Just chipping in here on Urias... his power outage combined with defensive lapses of late (not to mention younger competition in house) have me ready to move on after this season. Potential payoff heroics might even sweeten the trade value instead of appetite to retain him.

      Feeling Nostalgic about the 70's

      It was huge. I wasn't old enough to read it until about the 1980 version, but I'd check it out from the library every few weeks and probably read it cover to cover multiple times. It was there that I found things like Willie Keeler's .432 average in 1897, for the National League Baltimore Orioles, of all things. I think many people don't realize that before the McMillan Encyclopedia there was no single comprehensive source for this information. In many cases no source at all. You mention the Whos Whos in Baseball publications, but they only had active players. And I'm not sure how accurate they were, or how comprehensive. If you wanted to see who won the American League in 1907... I don't know. Or who won the 1922 batting title if you didn't have a stack of old Sporting News or Spalding Guides. There were some earlier books, like one called Daguerreotypes, but they were not well known or widely available or probably very accurate. I think it's true that when Ty Cobb retired he probably didn't know how many hits he actually had. When Babe Ruth started hitting homers some writer had to go dig around old guides and total stuff up to see if he was getting near some career record. The main reason a lot of HOF selections from before the 1970s were a little wacky was that the voters mostly were relying on 20 or 50 year old memories because they didn't have a reference. "Oh yea, I remember Bobby Wallace, the greatest shortstop... or was it third baseman... in the 1890s or something." That and the fantastically screwed up voting systems. The Encyclopedia was the beginning of the end of people who'd tell these long-winded stories of great feats of baseball from decades ago that were mostly not true. End of the Cliff Clavin era.

      I’d say Tampa.    I don’t want to see Arozarena in a playoff series. Ever. He kills us and I’m sure he’d go off on a big stage.  Their pitching is really good.
