Ugly win is an understatement. This is going to be a very long 3 years with Elko. Thank God for baseball.

While still the Reigning WS Champs until a new team is crowned in late Oct/early Nov, as of last night Arlington is no longer defending anything.

So checking in on the wild card race.

KC is on the verge of falling out completely after going 3-7 in last 10. They do get Nats for 3 but then have Braves for last 3 who could still be fighting to get in.

How would you rank who you would want to play?
Royals
Twins
Tigers
Mariners

1. Twins (they don't scare me at all)
2. Tigers (they don't scare me at all)
3. Royals (tricky because they have 2-3 guys who worry me)
4. Mariners (their pitching staff in a 3 game series is scary)

If the Tigers don't scare you, you have not been paying attention. Do not want to face them in a 3-game series with the Cy Young winner getting the ball in game 1.

Regardless, we probably get the Cy Young runner-up in the division series closing games. THAT is a series we better have leads going into the late innings.

Funny, but ALCS against Yankees potentially would be the series I am least concerned with simply because over the last decade in the playoffs we have owned them, and like Yogi said 90% of the game is half-mental!

Framber vs Skubal doesn't scare me much.

But also an ALCS vs the Yankees does scare me. Eventually that'll flip (like Aggie baseball vs TCU finally going our way in 2022).

Any time Juan Soto is facing the Astros I get worried

1 - Twins
2 - Mariners
3 - Tigers
4 - Royals

I wanted to put Mariners and Tigers 2a and 2b, but I'm slightly less worried about the Mariners because of the lack of hitting and the bullpen. They are also the worst of the bunch on the road and would have to play all three* at MMP

Agree about Soto...I just don't think their pitching holds up over 7 games.

Framber vs Skubal would be an 80's 2:14 time of game special...would love to see 2 CGs and 2-1 score

Watching the game last night, I don't recall any egregious calls either way. The zone expanded a bit late, but it was 10-2. That's going to happen.

Nobody was really complaining about the zone.

The RHP lineups have started to leave Big Jon on the bench.

I think it's because Caratini has put himself in a spot where he's too valuable to be taken out of the lineup.

I agree. Joe has been much more creative with his selections than the previous guy.

The Tigers close the season with 3 against the White Sox. Going to be hard to keep them out of a close wild card chase.
