Trying to look at our remaining schedule.
Our next 18 games, our opponents average 62 wins & 49 losses for a .558 winning % (easiest opponent is Pittsburgh who are currently 56-55)
From Aug 27th onwards (31 games) our opponents average 51 wins & 60 losses for a .459 winning % (easiest opponent is CWS, hardest are 3 with the Yankees and then 2 with the Diamondbacks).
Games left vs teams with winning record:
6 vs NYY
3 vs Boston
3 vs Cleveland
4 vs Minnesota
2 vs Houston
2 vs Arizona
3 vs Pittsburgh
7 vs Seattle
vs teams with losing record (all of which occur in the final 31 games):
3 vs CWS
7 vs LAA
6 vs Oakland
3 vs Toronto
Around this time last year we began our big August swoon where we lost 16 of 20. If over these next 18 games we can get our record to be 65-66 (11-7), we could be set up with a very winnable schedule over the last 30 to make a run at the division. Barring Houston or Seattle going off. 11-7 vs that schedule is going to be really tough.
Seattle's next 18 games or so is pretty tough except for 6 vs Detroit. They have 3 vs NYM, 3 vs Pitt, 3 vs LAD, 3 vs SF, 3 vs TB.
Houston's next 18 games or so is much tougher (outside of 3 vs CWS). They have 6 vs Boston, 3 vs TB, 4 vs Baltimore, 3 vs Philly. And Boston for 3 and CWS for 3 are the only home games in that stretch. (Then they go to KC for a 4 game stretch).

Ex Arizona and Pitt, the bright side of playing teams with good records is that it is a direct opportunity to make up ground, be it division or WC
Can't worry about Seattle and Houston right now. We just need to win a ****load of games from here on.Legal Custodian said:

Been dealing with dinner, but pretty good 3 IP, 45 pitches, 3 hits, no runs.
Around the plate a lot with his pitches. Several close misses.
We aren't hitting anything hard against Valdez so far. Second time through the lineup we need some better AB's.
What a **** show. Semien loses the handle for the sure double play, then Adolis loafs a pop fly and lets it fall in front of him.
They have 5 hits and we have 0. Bout how this season has gone.

They also had a bloop to center that Langford didn't play very well and let it fall for a hit. Might have been an out if he plays that better.
Mahle at 64 pitches through 4IP, so he may be about done. Not sure what his pitch limit is for tonight. He can't be far away from it though.
Can't even get on base against this lard ass.
He's had 6 rehab starts. I'd guess he would go about 90 pc
Lordy. Protect Jung at all costs.
Let's try this again. Fire Donnie Ecker!
These at bats are pathetic
It is absolutely amazing how bad this offense has become.
But the approach at the plate makes it make sense.

Which is why I'm all about a change at hitting coach. Last season they worked way more counts. This season they just hack at anything close.
Defense letting pitching down tonight. Too many guys out of position in the line up.
Over Dunning this year. What a fall off from last season
Robbie Grossman is fkn worthless

Should have bunted. That was a 90% double play from the moment he stepped in.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

Jesus Christ Jung. WOOF
Just swinging at junk.
Getting no hit by fat framber.
Would have 3 baserunners if we just didn't swing.

Is it our approach or our guys' inability to put bat on ball?
I don't think it's that complicated. No discipline, no focus, mentally weak. The players need to own the failure.

Well, it's probably both. But a hitting coach should be preaching to go the other away and work counts against Framber. Once you get a few on and stretch him out a little he tends to fall apart. We're making it way too easy on him.
More 350'+ outs from Langford. He's gotta figure out why he's hitting it kinda far but not really far.
Fire any and all offensive coaches
This offense is offensive.
This offense is offensive.
Stop swinging at the curveball. He literally never throws it for a strike.
Well we were all wondering if the smith home run would hype these guys up.
Looks like the line up is propping their feet up.

We're going to get no hit by this fat putz. Nice way to respond after an extra inning walkoff win.
This horse has been beat to death but Adolis is in a bad, bad way. Objectively he needs to be benched.
