  1. Didn’t see that one coming. Taking on the fighting Berrios’!
  2. Honestly it’s a weird situation to finish the season at Coors Field. The thin air messes with players swings. I hope that these games don’t have too big an impact on their hitting come Tuesday. It usually takes a game for hitters to readjust. In some ways it’s good that Correa, Lewis and Buxton aren’t there but are instead getting a bunch of live ABs in the Twins Cities.
  3. You might be right. I’d certainly prefer the Twins - Astros land in the 9pm spot.
  4. According to the spreadsheet on your son’s site you linked to, the MLB playoff games are scheduled for 2pm, 3pm, 6pm and 9pm eastern time on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Current matchups are Hou @ Min Tor @ TB Mia @ Milwaukee Ariz @ Philly If I were scheduling those four games, I’d throw my hands up in the air. Maybe… Milwaukee 2pm Tampa 3pm Minnesota 6pm Philly 9pm I’d really guess MLB and the networks are hoping the Cubs and the Mariners sneak back in.
  5. I would have preferred WS games.
  6. My sixth grade teacher wheeled the TV into our classroom for the Challenger launch. 😱
  7. Who wins the AL West in the event of a three-way tie at 89-73?
  8. Good point - LAA doesn’t have to beat Houston for it still to be possible. And even if they took 2 of 3 from AZ, that would still result in a four-way 89-73 tie.
  9. Update; Texas needs to lose today vs LAA Seattle needs to win exactly 3 of 4 from Texas OR lose today to Houston and sweep Texas Minnesota needs to go 5-0 Plus Houston needs to lose at least once (today vs Sea or 3 vs AZ)
  10. October is nice weather for baseball too.
  11. Luiz Arraez is on pace to win his second consecutive batting title.
  12. Update Texas needs to lose 2 of 3 vs LAA Seattle needs to win 1 or 2 games vs Hou Houston needs to lose at least 2 between their series with Sea and AZ Seattle needs to take 3 of 4 from Texas Minnesota needs to go 6-0 Going 6-0 is a tall order. And Texas losing 2 of 3 to LAA sounds unlikely. But hey, Houston just got swept by KC….
  13. I wasn’t playing out the *best* scenario. I was simply laying out what I see as a *plausible* scenario. Tex - Sea 3-3 seems expected Sea > Hou 2-1 could happen Hou lose 2 of 5 vs KC and AZ possible Biggest stretch is LAA taking 2 of 3 from Texas, but division rivals playing spoiler, could see it. Twins going 7-1 is a challenge, especially hungover today…
  14. Sorted by losses Texas 68 Play 6 vs Sea, 3 vs LAA Seattle 69 Play 6 vs Tex, 3 vs Hous Astros 69 Play 2 vs KC, 3 vs Sea, 3 vs AZ Twins 72, 2 vs LAA, 3 vs Oak, 3 vs Col Let’s say… Sea goes 3-3 vs Tex and Sea takes 2 of three from Houston. That puts Tex at 71 losses, Sea at 73 losses, and Houston at 71 losses, just after accounting for the games vs each other. Then, if LAA manages to take 2 of 3 from Tex, then Tex finishes with 73 losses, tied with Seattle. That leaves Houston’s five games against KC and AZ. If they go 3-2 in those five games, they also finish with 73 losses too. That means the Twins need to go 7-1 in their games to finish in a four way tie, or run the table to finish a game clear. It’s possible, anyway.
  15. And got a cortisone injection on his knee to help facilitate his return for this year. https://www.mlb.com/news/byron-buxton-gets-cortisone-shot-is-expected-to-return-in-2023
  16. I know this is what the magic number means, but in real terms…Cleveland with 78 losses, Detroit with 79. Best they can do is 84 and 83 wins by winning out. Twins need to go 8-8 to get to 84 wins. Need to go 9-7 to have their destiny completely in their own hands.
  17. While it was a bit WWF, Gant switched feet on the bag and was way off-balanced. He’s got no leg to stand on.
  18. Math was never your strong suit, Mike. But yes, you raised him right.
  19. Great name. And later, great mustache.
