Wild Card Watch 2015

It looks like a 4-horse race for the second wildcard:

 

Astros 79-71 ---

Angels 76-73 2.5

Twins 76-73 2.5

Indians 74-74 4.0

 

What they have left:

 

Astros (3 vs Angels, 3 vs Rangers, 3 at Mariners, 3 at D-backs)

Angels (3 at Astros, 3 vs Mariners, 3 vs A's, 4 at Rangers)

Twins (3 vs Indians, 3 at Tigers, 4 at Indians, 3 vs Royals)

Indians (3 at Twins, 3 at Royals, 4 vs Twins, 3 vs Red Sox, 1 vs Tigers if nec)

 

I hope the Astros, Angels, and Twins end up 85-77.

 

Give me some chaos.

last season, the team and sale had a real scare, especially but over pitching in a game. this season or should i say in spring training, as you said, he got hurt. bottom line why increase the odds of in injury.

 

if a person, with all the necessary chances of getting injured, someone does, then that is the way it is. but at the same time don't help it by having key players play for what????

 

Your logic can't be any more flawed. Winning organizations in all professional sports do not walk on glass.

yeah right...

 

name a org that org???

 

again, what ever we, the fans opinions are, the sox FO will do what they want. however, you do not put your valuable asset in a position to get injured. no one can predict the unlucky events of injuries. as example i am going to use Troy - ss injury. buy you try to limit the others with playing the odds.

 

either way, i like to see your opinion on my question

 

i am done on this subject.

Trying to plan against injury doesn't make sense and does not always work. Sale missed the beginning of the season because he was moving. Should they put him in bubble wrap in October and break him out in February.

It's foolish thinking. They try this in the NFL.

Astros win. Angels lose to the A's. Twins split doubleheader.

 

Astros 84-75 (off today, then 3 interleague games in Arizona)

Angels 83-75 (4 at Texas starting tonight)

Twins 82-76 (1 more in Cleveland, then host the Royals this weekend)

 

Weather looks good enough for all of these game.

Also, the Mariners starting a pitcher against the Astros who never started a professional game was a bad look for Baseball.

Not that it's specifically related, but not enough people complain that the roster rules change in the final month of the season when the games are the most consequential.

I'm the #1 complainer about the roster expansion rule!

Who is everybody rooting for?

 

I personally am rooting for the Twins or Astros. I live in Houston right now, pretty quiet down here. Although the stadium has been more full, no real buzz around town. All my hatred for the Twins from the early 00's has gone away. Then I had it for the Tigers ... now, well, we don't win, so I don't care. So go AL Central!

I'm rooting for the Angels to play the Yankees next Wednesday night.

 

The last thing I thing I want to see is a Rangers/Astros ALCS where they come up with a BS narrative of how they're a great new "Rivalry" in baseball.

 

A 3-way tie would be cool though.
