They'll win 92-95 games and win the division. I'll take it. Will win more if they can get the big horse back on the mound healthy.
The season comes down to whether or not their starters are all healthy for the playoffs. If they do they have a better than 50-50 shot at winning it all. If those guys can't go they won't. Pretty simple really.

I don't know where to find an audio-only link, but this video is synced to the radio broadcast.BarryProfit said:
Anyone have a link to the radio call of the last out of last night's game? I've only watched to play on TV about 50 times.

They have a video paired with the radio broadcast of it on MLB At Bat app. Not sure if it's on the normal MLB.com webpage or not.BarryProfit said:

It was incredible though. The emotion and passion in Robert Ford's voice was pretty awesome!

On another note: Jose Quintana going for the White Sox today against the rangers. He has been absolutely dominant in June (back to back shutout starts and a 1.78 ERA over his 5 starts this month).
His 4-8 record isn't spectacular but his numbers are improving rapidly at the perfect time. He might cost more now, but I think he's the #1 target again if we don't have to trade the farm. What say you?

It's all about return. I want to keep Frances Martes and Kyle Tucker. If Luhnow can pull it off while keeping those 2, then I'm game.

That's true, but the last 20 year old prospect at AA we had was Correa. Tucker looks special.

Grabbed this shot at the Friday night game against Boston last month. Wish it would have come from a victory, and I might have timed it a little better with the Astros batting next time, but I thought it was a cool view.

For sure - not disagreeing with how good he looks like he is. I'm firmly in record as wanting to go for the gold now, simply because opportunities like we have this year don't happen often. I just wish there was a no brainer arm out there on the market...
This is exactly my line of thinking. No matter how great you are, you cannot "go for it" or guarantee winning it all. The best play is to try to guarantee as many post season opportunities as you can. A 5-10 year dominance of the AL West needs to be the goal, then let the playoffs go as they may.mazag08 said:Nuke LaLoosh said:irish pete ag06 said:

This is a dangerous line of thinking. What happens if we win it all and are good again next year? We give up our next 5 prospects to have a rare chance at back to back. It's now or never right?
Sustained winning will give us infinitely more opportunities at winning it all than going for gold and giving up elite talent for it.

wow, home plate ump misses a foul tip strike 3 that would have ended the top of the first w/2 runners on

At the game and was watching the third base ump. He said he went, but home plate wouldn't even appeal.
