So the Rays and Mariners have the tiebreak against us and Toronto doesn't, so we are effectively 5 back in the loss column to all 3 teams.

Makes it pretty simple... To make the playoffs one of those 3 teams has to lose 5 more games than we do in the next 13 days.

Toronto loses two next week and then we sweep them.  Easy.

I took seven semesters of college math courses. Why does baseball math make my head hurt?

Dont even get me started on the +220 for the over and -380 for the under on Judge hitting 0.5 HR tonite.

So we win all 13?  Sure, no problem.

Beautiful pitch right there. 

[emmett16]

There is some tight spin.  Nasty curve.

There’s a pretend Orbit mascot in the stands. 

[SteveA]

Doubled up Altuve!!

[justD]

Good to see Vavra as part of a DP.

I won’t be getting the Thanks Brooks poster tomorrow but will be at the Members’ Picnic before the game Sunday.

Breaking news after 3 innings.. we're still not hitting. Kremer is going to have to be as perfect as Bradish was last night for us to have a chance to win.

[eddie83]

Julio Rodriguez is on IL for SEATTLe. 

[eddie83]

What was that? Odd 

[eddie83]

What a little league play. 

[dtk9119]

Well.. that's 2 boneheaded base running mistakes by the Astros tonight..
