It Ain't Over

They are now only 4 back of Seattle, which means they're not out of it. 

The numbers still make it possible…..but the team is done. Elias moves to get help with Aguilar and Phillips were dreadful. Also picked up some crappy RPs.

Just get to 81-82 wins and I'm happy.

Yes …we made great strides and far outperformed projections. We have reason to be excited about the future. And we are able to see the holes in our current roster construction. It was/is a great year.

Look at it this way.

They have been in the race for much of the season, that beats the previous few seasons.

Playing meaningful games in the fall, is pretty much the goal of the team.

Yes, WS is the best goal.

Hard to be interested in following your team, if they are 30 games out of .500

Looks like the only possible route now is a complete Rays collapse and the Orioles running off 12 -14 wins in the last 16. We need to make up 6 games in 16. So if we go 12-4 the rays would have to go 6-10. The Rays schedule is probably a little more difficult than ours so not impossible, but we need to literally play our best ball of the season over these 16.

Se acabó.

82-80 that’s all I want at this point.

The offense needs to explode but they're showing little to no-signs of life over the past two weeks.

That’s where I am.  81-81 now would be pretty annoying.

I'm just glad the possibility of losing 100 games for the fourth consecutive season (skipping 2020's 60-game campaign) has been mathematically eliminated.

I just don't want them going on one of these losing 13 out of 16 or something. Yes, last night was embarrassing and it's clear the offense is pressing especially the non-Elias guys. But losing 13 out of 16 would be even more embarrassing to end it. Just play .500 ball and get to 82 wins and I'll be happy. And yes, I'll keep watching when I'm able until they are mathematically eliminated because I am a fan of the team no matter how bad they are playing. Watching Adley and Gunnar is enough to keep watching alone.

I'd rather see them finish 79-83 with all of the young guys getting as many AB as they can get instead of Odor/Hays/Aguilar getting AB and they finish 82-80 and 4 games out of the WC.

Adley and Gunnar are going to get plenty of AB. I want to see Vavra and Stowers get just as many.

Last night was awful. One of the rare times I have got mad all year. The offense was inept and pitching fell apart. It was like Hays’ play in the 1st set the tone for the whole night. Coming off a win Sunday in Toronto and following it up with that is not acceptable. Hyde in the post game was much more looser than I thought he would be. About half kidding around.

What was the Hays play?

[Emory Eagle]

I’d like to see Grayson pitch a little with the Os, DL Hall continue to progress, Stowers and Vavra get some more ABs (although with Vavra’s lack of power not sure how he can really figure into a contending roster), and of course Henderson and Adley continue to develop and stay healthy.  Other than that, at this point, just finish above .500 and this year is an unreserved success.
