Ramirez hits 3-0 pitch out in the first inning. Hysterical.

Sonofabitch! ?

Still possible, but we’re calling hospice soon. Twins better win Gm 1 today.

I’m not going to deny that the roster construction of this team is awful. But if they re-sign 36 yr old Jose Abreu over trading 25 yr old Andrew Vaughn, they are the dumbest fucking team in baseball. Eloy needs to DH. Vaughn needs to play first base. That part isn’t difficult to figure out. The rest, I’ll leave it up to the “experts”.

Giolito, yes. Trading Vaughn would be all kinds of stupid.

I’ll go with Sox 2-1, Cle 3-2 Still three back when the series starts. Hopefully Cease is on, and then Cleveland starts feeling the pressure, and the Sox somehow sweep and get the tiebreaker.

Nope. Weather looks perfect during that series. Civale had a bad outing tonight.

I think going into today, Cleveland would have taken 5-4 with at least one win against both the Twins and Sox to clinch tiebreakers against each. And chances are they’ll get there. Sad, but true. But we’ll see how the next week goes.

DVS- Civale rehab start tonight and will face Cease next week if cleared.

Min and Cle are playing 5. Two Saturday and Monday afternoon. Probably best realistic outcome is 2-3 for Cle and Sox sweep the Tigers. Then Cease beats the Guardians on Tuesday. Both teams 78-70 with 14 left.

Guardians play 6 home games in the next 100 hours or so. At that point, the three AL Central contenders will have 15 games left, and the math will be real easy. And chances are, we won’t care by Monday afternoon, ha.

9-1 the next 10 or it’s over. Have a nice day.

I tried to stay optimistic there would be a positive swing in the standings before the weekend, but it’s not happening. Sox elimination # will be 14 if they lose on Thursday.

Makes sense for Cleveland to set their schedule how they see fit so the last 15 games are how they want them. They may have to eat a couple games between now and the end of the 5-game Twins series.

Same record with 12 left too, but we’ll have to be one better. Gonna be uh…fun?

It would, but also I don’t want hear any complaining about how unfair it is either. They did it that way this year because the backup should be a wildcard spot. Since it’ll be lower than the 6-seed…shut up and go home.

Sox win the next 6. Same record with 14 left. You heard it here first.

Sure you can. We’ll table that for now, however.

Twins pitcher has a no-no thru 7 with over 100 pitches. Let him try. They’re out if it anyway.

Colas should be playing RF next year. Play the guy! Abreu gone. Eloy DH. Vaughn at 1B.

Exactly. Obviously tomorrow is looking good if the Angels pitching isn’t awful. They’ll be saving the best arms for Thursday.

We’re screwed

Tony, if you have to question whether or not you’re a distraction, then it’s time to go. Please retire.

Guardians magic number is 20, and will go down by 3 their next win vs the Sox. 23 games left for them. 21 for the Sox.
