Our loss today don't feel so bad now.

TEX win at TOR tonight gives them 4-1 lead head to head to clinch that tie break if 90-72 type outcomes happen for both of them.

I like that. Despite our success against the Jays this year, if it comes to it I'd rather face Texas and their current patchwork pitching staff.

Texas has a bad bullpen, but it won't matter if they start hitting like they did for the first 141 days of the season.

I think we would do better against Toronto.

Tell me about it. Just win tomorrow and all is well.

Their rotation has been a mess recently too, and they're dealing with more significant injuries than the Jays. Scherzer left his start today. 

The offense is definitely scary, especially if Jung and Garcia are back for the playoffs.

You think things were bad today, the Astros are losing to Oakland 6-2 at home.

After getting shut out by them yesterday! Their lead is about to be one game.

Seattle has tough road ahead. After the LAA series they have 3 vs LAD, 3@ OAK, 3@ TEX then they are home for 3 vs HOU and 3 vs TEX. Talk about a 9 game stretch.

Glad to see someone doing their job against Tampa for once this week.

Kind of an afterthought, but Boston was eliminated from the AL East title race yesterday, joining the previously-eliminated Yankees.

Rays with a getaway afternoon against Dallas Keuchel - they'll perhaps get to their hotels tonight before our game ends.

Whatever happened to Bailey Ober?    I remember when he was in All-Star form - his year seems to have turned out Tyler Wells adjacent.    Faded after the All-Star break, optioned to AAA, and not yet back now in mid-September.     Keuchel like Adam Wainwright has a Bottom 2% K rate on the year, but hopefully it'll work out two days in a row.

Cash didn't use any of his hottest four relievers last night, so chances are they'll either be well rested or coming off a win for tomorrow's opener.

Cash is a very overrated manager.

He's kept the team together and focused after the injuries and the issues with their best player.

That is the main job of the modern manager.
