flavum Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Sox clinch with a win Thursday afternoon...or Tigers and Mariners loss. I'll take the win on the field. Magic Numbers to stay ahead of- Sea-1 Det-1 Hou-4 Cle-6 Tor-7 NY-8 MIn-9 Oak-10 TB-11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Zero! Sox magic number to clinch the division goes from 9 to 6, because of the 5-5 series split with the Twins. Sox have clinched a better division record by pummeling the Royals and Tigers. Good job, boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 man, imagine if Moncada was 2019 version. Sox would have the best record in baseball I would imagine I hope that kid gets through whatever this is, cuz I've always said he would have the ceiling of being the best OBP (possibly OPS as well) guy the sox have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Tampa has 3 @Bal, 3 @NYM, and 3 vs Philly. Oakland has 3 vs SF, 3 @LAD, and 4 vs Seattle. Twins have 3 @Cubs, 2 vs Det, and 3 vs Cincinnati. Yankees have 3 @Bos, 4 @Tor, and 3 vs Miami.

Tnetennba Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Toronto, SF, Miami, Cincinnati, and Philly all still have something to play for and all could have a say in AL seeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been tough to watch this year. Seems likely he’s at 50% at best. Hope we get 2019 Moncada in 21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn as long as Darvish pitches the first game of the Sox series, he'll be on normal rest for game 1 of the first series.

Give me Toronto if we’re in the top 2. I think our ideal path is to lock up the division but slide down to 3. That practically guarantees us a date with the team with the worst record (the Cheaters), and avoids the Yankees in second round.

My only hope is that the Sox clinch the division before the Cubs series. If that happens, Darvsih can throw a no-hitter and the Cubs can win all three for all I would care. I just don't want the Cubs stopping the Sox from winning the division, and I think that is quite possible. Hopefully the Twins will continue losing.

Houston without Verlander is probably the best matchup you can get in the first round. Our best case scenario might be just to grab the 3rd seed and play Houston.

reiks12 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Houston and Toronto look like meat, I would hate the get the second seed and facing Cleveland in a best of 3. 5? sure. But a best of 3 seems scary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
