4-3 Tigers, bottom 10. Expecting...well, you know.

The week started needing to split with Cleveland and win a game against the Cubs, with just one loss by the Twins. That hasn’t changed, but damn it’s going to be tough. Giolito needs to be an ace, and the bats have to do enough.

A’s facing the Dodgers. A win moves them up to 2. But hopefully we don’t fall to the 7 seed in the next five days...we better not.

Nick!!!

Nice!!

As the Twins take the 2-1 lead

Nice! Wish Dyson was already on second, but...

Worst umpire ever

Everyone wore their jeans like that in 92. Dark times.

Crochet needs his first show win, so score 2-3 runs now.

Dude has a hose

Does that make up for Dye cheating?

Swing.

Buxton hr already

M-V-P

Besides the weather factor, today is like June 1st in a regular season. Sometimes guys have bad starts or bad months out of six month season. Besides Encarnacion, who is probably at the end of the line, I’m not reading too much into anyone’s season. Hell, Mazara will probably get non tendered, but could be all star for somebody else in 3 years.

How about a leadoff double from Yoan, just for old times sake?

I printed out the 2021 schedule last night, and the spring training schedule came out last week too. All I can say when I look at that schedule is, “Really?” Hoping for the best, but the Sox being in Anaheim on April 1st is a big “I’ll believe it when I see it”.

Yeah, they should stick with the same rules for next year. Next CBA, I want anti-tanking rules. I want a draft lottery system. No team can have the 1-1 more than once a decade. No top 3's in back to back years. Can't have a top 5 more than three times in a five year period. And picks should be tradeable pre-draft.

McCullers no hitter thru 5. Going to be tough for the Sox no matter who they play. Hope they can at least finish off the division. It didn’t matter to me when it was bunched up, now I don’t want to see them get passed at the very end.

TB 36-19 (8) Sox 34-20 Oak 33-20 (7) Min 33-22 (4) NY 31-23 (4) Hou 27-27 Cle 30-24 (3) Tor 28-26 Tor at TB; NY at Min Cle at Sox; Hou at Oak

They should’ve let EE go before the series in KC. But then he had one his ten good ABs, and that was that.

I was joking that 54 games is usually the 1/3 point in the season. Obviously being on pace for 102 wins would be great. Hopefully the starting pitchers can carry their weight the rest of the way. It’s not looking good right now. We’ll see how they bounce back.

34-20 at the one-third mark. Not bad. Oh wait....

Agreed. It was close. Two strikes, swing the bat.
