Ok 14 series left (avg 3 games each, one 4 game and one 2 game). Sitting at 68 and wins.

Tex has the 14th toughest schedule (3 vs Hou, 7 vs Sea)
Hou has the 24th toughest schedule (3 @ Tex, 6 vs Sea)
Sea has the 27th toughest (13 vs Hou/Tex).

Where does everyone finish.

Hou 95 wins (2 seed, Bal #1 has 25th hardest remaining schedule)

Tex 93 wins (WC 1, TB is WC 2 with 7th hardest remaining schedule)

Sea 89 wins (misses WC by a game to TOR)

Had to look at the Mariners' schedule to see how it could be easier than ours, and am still not sure of those rankings. Their September is pretty stout with the games against us and Rangers as well as a series against the Reds and Dodgers. They do have 7 left with Royals, but we have 6. Unusual for us to be doing this level of scoreboard watching at this point in the season. Seems for the last few years, we have been trying to figure out which game/series we will clinch the division. Will make for an interesting final 43 games!

Ok. I didn't realize we play in Oct.

And I think the rankings is simply based on win percentage of remaining teams but that doesn't account for everything.

I think the Rangers win the division by 1 game

Rangers 95-67
Astros 94-68
Mariners 88-74 (Miss WC)

We win the Division by tie breaker

Rangers are WC2
Seattle is WC3

Seattle hs 22 games left with As Royals Angels White Sox and Mets. But they also close with 11 vs us and Tex. And also have 10 with Cin, Dodgers, and TB all on Sept. That's crazy.

They could easily be right around first place in early sept and then finish 5+ games back

Both New York teams are now in last place for their divisions. 2023 is wild

Most games this year pitching 6+ innings and allowing no more than 2 earned runs but not getting the win:

Gerrit Cole, 9 games 😐
Pablo López, 8 games
Lucas Giolito, 7 games
Kevin Gausman, 7 games
Dylan Cease, 7 games
Bryce Elder, 7 games pic.twitter.com/cpFwbANxC2

Hope he's enjoying all that money

Those are some Nolan Ryan numbers except to pitch 8+ innings and give up 1 run or less (with 12+ strikeouts)...man poor Nolan had some tough luck with those awful hitting 80's Stros.

---

The Angels teams he was on were worse than the Houston teams offensively

Good point but a little before my time so not as vivid in my memory.

Yeah as soon he hit I said 'Oh fck' then when I saw where it landed I said 'OK well that was pretty impressive'.

But in all seriousness, I did tell them one day they'd look back and be able to say they saw Ohtani hit a bomb in person. The sound of him hitting that was unreal, even up in 413. Just a pure barrel sound.

---

I went to the crazy 2019 Josh Reddick/Springer walk off game. Ohtani went deep and Trout went deep twice

Will always remember that day due to those guys going yard

Pedro León entered today slashing .326/.375/.721 five doubles, four home runs, and four walks to 11 strikeouts in 10 games this month.

The righty clubbed his 20th home run of the season today, but he’s also struck out three times.

They still have vine don't they…I'm not holding my breath

it's hard to say if the Astros are going to catch the Rangers or not

the Rangers are 40-20 at home...and begin a 6-game homestand on Monday vs. the Angels and then the Brewers

the Rangers are 47-28 when Corey Seager is in the lineup. He is healthy again

so the 'stros probably won't make a big move in the standings this week while playing the Marlins and Mariners

Did y'all hear rumors are swirling about an inappropriate relationship for Wander Franco. Obviously no clue to the truth and I believe in innocent until proven guilty…I just wonder what the distraction might cause for them.

Tampa Bay shortstop Wander Franco did not travel on the team plane to San Francisco, where the Rays will start a series with the Giants tomorrow, sources tell ESPN. The Rays earlier said MLB is doing “due diligence” concerning social media posts from earlier today about Franco.

If the girl in the pictures is 14, it doesn't seem like an appropriate relationship at all. Even if innocent, taking pictures like that with a 14 yo is gonna make you look like a creepy even if you give him the benefit of the doubt. However, nothing seemed to happen to Fiers and wasn't his situation similar? I could be wrong but haven't dug too much into either situation

did this stuff with Franco happen in the Dominican or the United States?

What's our record with Altuve and Alvarez in the lineup?

I'd imagine it's pretty damn good.
