Which would get us to 6-2 for these games.

I love it how a guy starts a thread with a thesis that amounts to "losing games will reduce our chances of making the playoffs" and then refers to a longtime respected poster with no sense of irony as Captain Obvious. 

I also wonder how that's not a violation of Rule 5 on name calling but perhaps a mod can explain. 

It's fine, I'm just messing with him.

Oh, I know. Your response was excellent.

Let’s not forget that we went 1-3 against Oakland and 0-3 against Detroit earlier this year.  That looms pretty large now.  If we’d gone 4-3 in those games we’d be in playoff position now.   

 

To be fair, those games in Detroit happened when Hays and Mountcastle were both out with injury and Rutschman was still waiting to be called up. The Orioles put out some genuinely hilarious lineups in that series.

Definitely agree on the easy games but whether we make the playoffs will probably come down to how we do in the 10 remaining games with Toronto. We really need to take advantage of beating up on the team ahead of us in the standings.

First 3 of this 8 are in the books.

Series win is always important but it still feels like a big loss.

If they can win 6 out of these "easy" games then they have done well.  You can't win them all.

Ok, they are 4-1 so far.  That Detroit series is next week.  May need a sweep there but definitely need 2 of 3.

That 0-3 series we had in Detroit earlier this year still burns.
