I don't think that is true, except from the viewpoint of lock out. While it is a factor to consider, i think we probably have worse problems in that case.
I think i could live with Tristan Gray hitting two home runs in each September game he plays in. But aren't we concerned the Twins are just manipulating Wallner's service time?
And i am comfortable going out on two limbs... First is Jenkins will be called up before September 1st... 2027.
And how's Wallner doing? I kind imagine if he is comprable, that he also gets a chance to reestablish his cred at the mlb level. Who is actually knocking harder on the door?
Remind me how the play offs go? NY and Boston would facing each other right? And the last wild card place would go up agains the worst devision leader, which by record at least, sounds preferable?
PS How come all of the AL east are in the play off discussion?
Yeah... only 3 of 12 series are against teams with down and out records: Angels, A's and Giants (California teams who don't dodge)
That said, we have a long stretch against the central, and if we clean house there, we'll be okay.
Depending who we play, maybe that's not so tall an order? We might even be helping ourselves by defeating rivals...
I guess i should look at the schedule.
