7-5 Tigers in the 2nd inning. Humdinger.

Royals score 3 in the 1st. Bastages. but the Tigers storm back. 3-3. Exciting shit

The magic numbers for a higher pick are: Marlins- 11 Tigers- 10 Padres-9 Assuming the Marlins play 161, Games Remaining: Sox (11), Marlins (10), Padres (9). Tigers (10)

Sox are 0-8 in Cleveland. I checked the Royals and Orioles to see if they've done anything like that this year... Orioles were 0-10 in Toronto. Yikes.

The bad news is the Marlins will have one fewer game to get to that win total. It kinda sucks there's a scenario where the Marlins get the 3rd pick, but if they played and won Game 162 vs the Pirates, they would have dropped to 6. It could happen.

The bad news is the Marlins probably won’t play the same amount of games as the Sox, so they can’t tie.

3. Sox 59-92 4. Mia 59-92 5. SD 61-92 6. Det 61-91

Hey Padres, Win a game tonight.

Nice outing for Covey. He has stretches of looking like a stud.

Moncada 19 more to tie. It won’t happen though. They’ll shut him down if he gets to 219.

Blake Snell, 20-5, 1.97 ERA Nobody cares about wins, but I’m sure he’s happy right about now.

Agreed. I’ve never been into rankings because a lot of the time guys are ranked higher based on not playing. I would rather see rankings based on some accomplishment rather than speculation in how his tools will translate...and then they don’t or he gets hurt.

The Sox aren’t dropping to 7th, so I’ll take that out of the equation. I’d want the highest pick possible with the exception of dropping from 5th to 6th by beating the Cubs enough to knock them out of a division win. But we’re not going to know that while playing them, so I don’t think I’d enjoy Sox wins next weekend to be honest. 4 series left- I’ll take 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 2-2, and whatever pick it is, fine.

Yeah. I don’t know for a fact they’ll cancel it, but it wouldn’t make much sense to make it up. Just have to assume they have one more loss than they do now.

They’ll cancel it when the Pirates are eliminated.

Yep, 3-6

Marlins, Padres, Tigers win. Sox lose. Mia 58-91 Sox 59-90 SD 60-90 Det 61-88

I know. They have to match the Tigers the remaining 14; not overall record.

To me it's clear the 5-year window of winning they're trying to cultivate is 2021-2025....especially now that Kopech's first full season will be 2020 (hopefully). 2019 will be bad. 2020 will be fun as hell (again, hopefully). 2021-2025 playoffs, ALCS's, maybe a World Series or two (have I mentioned hopefully?).

Nah. He'll be back, and probably will start the season in the rotation and place hold until he proves again he's not good or a minor leaguer takes his spot.

What’s going to happen today? 60th win or 90th loss? It’s all quite exciting.

Hopefully the Indians have a post-celebration hangover today and before a Monday off day...and the Tigers win. Tigers final two weeks- 3 vs Min, 4 vs KC, 3 at Min, 3 at Mil Including today, 7-7 would be nice. The Sox just have to match them to have a higher pick. 5th would be fine.

3rd ain't happening. Marlins are getting that. 6-9 (64-98), we got a shot at 4th. 7-8, 5th or 6th 8 or 9 wins, definitely 6th 10-5...don't do that.
