Wyatt staying so hot.
Wrong thread lol
Looks like they told Max that will be it for him and he wasn't too happy about it.
Scherzer has the HOF stuff today. Sheesh.
Is there a single player in the league that ABS would benefit more than Langford?
Looks like getting some guys back has energized the team. We need to finish this series off.
Josh Smith again
Vote Josh for ASG!

Love that Lowe has two base hits to the vacant side of the infield. Just take it if they give it to you.
Great game.
Is that a sweep? And 4 in a row?
Man, a series like this could really get us going knowing more dudes are very close to coming back. Sweeping a fine team like KC is fantastic.
Hello Win Column!
First 3 game sweep of the season!

Mariners lose. Rangers move to within 6.5.

Orioles did us no favors. Next we play the brewers while mariners take on Tampa and Houston takes on Colorado.
Disappointing loss by the Ags, but what a wonderful Sweep of KC.
KC is now on the outside looking in for the WC3 spot. I thought Minn was going to get bumped, but with the Rangers at 4.5 GB, I like our chances.
Mad Max brings an intensity to the clubhouse and the team. He was absolutely dialed in and now Dunning in the BP he can develop his repertoire.
MaX is 11th AllTime in SOs. The countdown:
T11. Scherzer: 3371
T11. Maddux: 3371
10. Verlander: 3393 (+22)
09. Walter Johnson: 3508
08. Gaylor Perry: 3534 (+163)
Verlander is the only Active leader ahead of Max.

They're the best team in the AL at the moment. NYY have cooled some, but the way the Orioles are destroying the baseball is eyepopping.
ETA: this is just my opinion. I understand what they have done recently.

And they just got swept.
Swept to the last team in baseball that I want to sweep them.
We need to keep our eyes on Houston. Their offense is really starting to click. They still can't pitch it like they use to, but they have guys doing it up and down the lineup.
And 4-6 in their last 10.
"That's how baseball go."
"That's how baseball go."
We won 4 in a row and still only 5-5 in the last 10. Need to stay hot for at least a 15 game stretch if we want to stay competitive.
So....anybody still ready to send Langford down to AAA?
I couldn't help myself, I had to be 'that guy'.

Houston doesn't concern me.
They are running out of bullets.
They brought up Jake Bloss to fill-in for JV. Bloss started the season at A+, promoted to AA, got 1 GS, and now on the IL. <Shoulder Discomfort>
They are already using Arrighetti (13GS, 6.36) and JV is on the 15IL... again.
Their rotation:
Blanco: 14GS, 2.34
Brown: 14GS, 4.72
Valdez: 13GS, 3.68
Arrighetti: 13GS, 6.36
They don't have the prospects to add a meaningful trade and their payroll is tight, so they can't just absorb a big contract dump. They are playing with some momentum, but I don't think it lasts.
They have Colorado for 2 and will start Brown and Arrighetti and those are sandwiched between days off, so that likely works in the Astros favor, but they don't have the SP, IMO. Blanco's numbers are influenced by his pre-suspension success, although he has still done well. But, they won't make the playoffs without more SP.

We have @ Milwaukee starting today:
Lorenzen (12GS, 3.00) v Peralta (15GS, 4.06) : 7:10p
Heaney (14GS, 4.21) v Wilson (9GS, 18G, 4.24) : 7:10p
Eovaldi (12GS, 3.14) Rea 13GS, 3.62): 1:10p
Favorable pitching matchups. All RHPs for Milw.
Let's hope Scherzer's energy carries over.

Didn't realize the pitching matchup was so favorable. Getting 2 out of 3 against a good ball club like Milwaukee would be big.
Anyone buying this story:
Jays promoted a Dominican 22yo IF Orelvis Martinez. After G1, was suspended 80games for PEDs.

Rejun 50 apparently increases ovulation in women to help with fertility. Maybe he didn't fully understand anatomy.
Now, I know many guys struggle with fertility and maybe a "narrow urethra" ala Hank Hill... and I don't want to sound insensitive, but if you are 20... and have a "girlfriend" ... and you are playing minor league ball... maybe you should be a little more patient before getting hopped up on fertility drugs for 2 years. If you know you want to have kids... maybe go ahead and get married?! I'm kinda old fashioned that way.
Even into my late 30's... there wasn't a goalie that could stop my Olympic Swimmers.
Better excuse than ringworm, I suppose.

"For the past two years, I have been trying to start a family with my girlfriend. During the offseason, we visited a fertility clinic in the Dominican Republic and after getting lab work done, we were prescribed a treatment, which included a medication called Rejun 50. Unfortunately, Rejun 50 contains a banned substance called Clomiphene.
We wanted to keep this matter private, even within our family, and trusted the doctor who assured us this treatment did not include performance enhancing drugs. Therefore, I made the mistake of not disclosing this to my team or the MLBPA. With that said, I took full responsibility for my actions and accepted my suspension.

We gotta bring the wood.
Lots of expectations that Jung could return midweek, as well.

So, if we win the series... good news in the standings.
If we get destroyed... we are assured another World Series Trophy.
I call that a Win-Win.
