I don’t think I’ve fully wrapped my head around how impressive it really is that the Os are four games up on the Rays after the way the Rays started the season, and how well they’ve been playing recen

My wish is for Tampa Bay and Texas to have a wonderful, competitive 3 game series that results in a Texas win in game 3, a 21 inning 24-23 thriller.

No wonder you are so angry.  If they win 105 and we win 104 it is time to tip your hat to Tampa.

The Blue Jays are actually in REALLY good shape to make the playoffs, better than most people realize.

Texas 87-68  3@LAA, 4@Sea
Toronto 87-69   3vNYY, 3vTB
Houston 85-71  3@Sea, 3@Ariz
Seattle 84-71   3vHou, 4vTexas

To make the playoffs, all the Blue Jays have to do is beat out ONE of those teams (because one of those teams will win the west).

It looks to me that with all the games that Houston/Tex/Sea play each other, at least one of them is guaranteed to lose at least 73 games.   Which means if Toronto can win 90 games, they are guaranteed a playoff spot.   So their magic number is actually 3. 

 

 

ESPN is giving them a 97.5% of making the playoffs.

We've already announced Bradish and Grayson vs the Nats.

Flaherty will likely get a start vs Boston.

I think it’s possible that Flaherty and Irvin (maybe someone else) get the last three starts. It’s possible that the O’s could clinch the division on Wednesday. If that happens I don’t think we will see Bradish throw against Boston on 10/1 as the rotation and schedule currently align.

I think it’s also at least conceivable that they skip Kremer’s turn on Thursday if they’ve clinched.

If we get the bye, will too much rest get our starters out of sync?

I do fear that a little bit though I don’t think that either of Bradish, GrayRod, Gibson or even Kremer suffered from the layoff during the All-Star Break.

The way that GrayRod, Bradish and Means (Hell even Gibson) are throwing right now I almost don’t want them to have a break but I can’t believe that they don’t need one.

The post-season is not for the faint hearted.

What I'd like to see is everyone stays on schedule but pull Grayson and Bradish after 2 or 3 innings. Just get them enough work to keep them in rhythm and keep the rust off.

This would be ideal but I doubt that happens. Maybe. They do some funky stuff sometimes but they’re on the verge of winning 100 games so maybe I should just STFU and let them do whatever they’re going to do.

That's a good idea. As others said above, I'm a little concerned about the starters getting too many days off and getting out of rhythm.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
