The talking heads were saying they didn't do anything at the deadline to address the 'pen and that's been their downfall

Perhaps a bad bullpen eventually trickles down to the starting staff as they've now had like 1 quality start in September.

Wow Texas has imploded. 4-15 since mid August and 3 10+ run losses in a row. This after adding a ton of pitching and undoubtedly getting the seal of approval from the baseball talking heads.

Random thought about the Rangers that popped into mind the other day -- I still can't believe they were 1 strike away in two consecutive innings from winning the 2011 World Series, and didn't close on either of them.

Man, Richards has been hit or miss lately. Maybe Green can take over his high leverage innings. That was a badly timed 3 run gopher ball coughed up by him to Kevin f***ing Smith.

That pitch should have been impossible to hit for a HR - it was like 4 inches off the ground over the outside of the plate. Sometimes freaky shit just happens and a good pitch gets hit and it isn't the pitcher's fault.

The pitch that he hung for the leadoff single was legitimately bad but the HR was just ... one of those things. It was a Vladdy Sr. home run.

I’m telling you guys. Don’t count the Yankees out just yet. They have a super soft schedule for the most part remaining and they’re now only 6 games back with 6 games against the Jays to go.

It has taken a 5 game win streak to get to 6 games out. Unless you think they're going to run the table - it's safe to say they are out of it.

Look at their remaining schedule. They are nowhere near out of it.

Can't stand the Rays, can't cheer for them. It's gross.

The Yankees shouldn't concern us at all. Jays control their own destiny. Yankees need to go 20-3 the rest of the way to get to 90. Jays need to go 13-10. Huge difference. Jays are going to at least split the 6 games remaining against the Yankees. Come on, now, Yanks are done.

 

[MS]

If we go 11-12 down the stretch, NYY will have to go 18-5 to finish ahead of us. It isn't a thing.

If we play so badly that the Yankees catch us, we'll also have fallen behind Seattle/Houston/Texas so it's irrelevant.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Need a sweep here against the Royals, and hopefully the Athletics do us a favour in at least 1 game against Texas. 1.5 up on Texas would be great before the series starts on Monday.

What? They're 7 games out of a playoff spot with 22 games left, and 16 of those games are against teams who are ahead of them in the standings.

We won’t sweep anyone. This team hasnt won more 4 straight games since April. That’s f***ing utter garbage. Only reason we are alive is because Texas is one of the biggest jokes in sports right now.

We already know he has issues with having his falsehoods challenged.

"This team is a joke! The only reason they're any good is because a whole bunch of other teams are worse!"

We already know he has issues with having his falsehoods challenged.

The biggest advantage the Jays schedule has is that the Yankees don't get to play 6 games against a shitty team like the Yankees.

Bo is back! Let's go!
