Need good JV tonight. Last start against LAA was a good sign that he's making his way back (even though strikeouts are down): 5IP, 4H, 2R, 2BB, 2K.

He looks like the kind of guy who would try to start the wave. What a main character.

If JV survives the first inning without giving up a crooked number he'll be fine. Seems like he gets off to a rough start with his command and then settles in.

I did say "I think". Turns out it's 3 not 2. Not that there is much difference at this point between 3 and 2.

I don't see how. Rangers have 73 wins. 3 wins puts them at 76. There are 8 teams with more than 76 wins today. If they run the table, they'll have 82 wins. There are 5 teams with more than 82 wins today. Explain how the Rangers aren't already eliminated.

I think he meant magic number to be eliminated from contention for it, not to clinch it.

If Big Jon is not the comeback player of the year there needs to be a recount.
I came here to post about how the Big Jon experiment is finally paying off. I'll eat crow on this one. I did not see it coming. If we can manage to get him a ring, you'd be smart to buy the rights to the screenplay.

I suspect Jon will get hosed on comeback player in favor of Rodon for obvious reasons.

I'm guessing they have the tiebreakers over them?

Because if they run the table they can get to 82 and both Minny and Detroit are at 80 now and are tied for the last WC spot. That's the 3 for the magic number for them. It's still possible they can get the last WC.

Detroit has the third WC spot right now with 80 wins. If the Rangers win out to get to 82 and somehow everyone from Detroit down fails to each 82, the Rangers would be in the last WC spot.

Mathematically, they are not eliminated. In reality, they are toast.

Skubal pitched Wednesday vs. the Royals

so the Orioles will not face him this weekend

hopefully Baltimore can sweep or win 2/3 vs. the Tigers...

to give the Twins a chance for the 3rd wildcard

I have never stood up for a wave.

I've never caught a foul ball and never done the wave.

They are the piece of toast that got stuck in the toaster and burned to inedible charcoal.

Hating on the wave is un-American. Baseball by its nature is a slow game. Sometimes you just need the wave. And besides, this isn't golf where everyone has to just sit there and whisper.

Sounds like there's a correlation. You clearly have a better chance of catching a foul ball if you participate in the wave

With an appropriately timed and located foul ball you could kill two birds with one stone.

If you want to do the wave, stay home and do it with your family where no one can see it. Rob Manfred could gain more favor from fans by banning the wave.

Go to Spring Training if you want to catch a foul ball. One of my coolest fun facts is that pre-debut Mike Trout threw a ball that hit my elbow during warmups at Spring Training and Sosh made him apologize. This was my way of weaseling in my cool Trout story lol

There is a proper time to do the wave. It's when you're up or down by 6 or more.

The wave is irritating. A person who tries to start the wave and gets upset when no one cooperates is worse. So much worse.
