He did not run very fast, but he did not have to on the ones over the fence.  A  tough Catcher.

I think we can't end 11 over. Either 87-75 or 86-76, 12 or 10 games over

Could with a rainout that doesn't get played because the outcome doesn't matter. So I vote for plus 12. lol

This thread is about our high water mark, not where we end.   The high water mark could be the last day of the season, or it could be earlier.

12 games over. 9-4 win against Atlanta.

22-10 matches the Orioles' start in 2017. I sure hope this season turns out better than that one!

My favorite Lenn Sakata moment was the Blue Jays game in 1983 where he filled in at catcher because the bench was empty. 

Tippy Martinez picked off three Blue Jays runners because they were salivating at the prospect of stealing 2B with Sakata catching. Sakata wins it in the bottom of the tenth with a three run homer. 

Hard to believe that was 40 years ago.  

It’s also one of my earliest baseball memories.

Correct.  When he came to bat I immediately thought of HR Time.

Rays through Yankees are all + or even in the WC competition--and the Red Sox are only 1/2-game under. Jeesh.
