Not watching, but the Twins clinch if the Sox win. That’s a lot of waiting around in the clubhouse.

The AL could have a 95 win team staying home. All AL division winners could have 100 wins.

Rather than a bunch of great teams, I think it speaks to a lot of previous middling teams doing the full scale rebuild.

What the fuck is the point of Matt Skole?

Brewers win, Cubs out.

I'm pretty much watching to see if Timmy can close on this batting title. Counting what they've both done today, I think he's gonna do it. Assume Lemahieu gets 13 more ABs (1x more today and 4x for each of NYY's remaining 3 games) and Tim gets 22x more (2x today and 4x for our remaining 5 games). 

Lemahieu will need to go 10-for-13 to get his final BA to .338, and Tim would have to go 8-for-22 to sit at .339. If DJ only gets 5 hits, Tim needs just 4. And 4 will keep him above Yelich in the NL as well.

Yeah, this, Yoan, and Eloy are pretty much the only Sox things I care about right now.

Lemahieu walks in what will probably be his final AB today. Means he needs to go 6-for-12 in his final three games to catch a 4-for-22 effort by Timmy.

Pirates won.

Toronto won.

Would be a nice tank loss if the Sox lose.

OK, I'm gonna stop nerding out, but a repetition of the best three game sets from Lemahieu and Marte for this entire season and the best four game set from Rendon will not beat an 8-for-22 effort from Tim. Just sayin'.

Screw that. Kill Cleveland!

Did something happen to Leury ?

I'll stop with the numbers, but Timmy is going to do this.

Our lack of depth is impressive

Give Timmay the batting title now.  He wants it bad.

Tim has the batting title all but wrapped up.

Would he still qualify if he sat the remaining games?

Cease starts tomorrow, so that is a reason to watch.

Keep 'em coming. I was wondering this stuff myself

I believe so.  He has the requisite minimum 502 at-bats now to qualify.  

CONGRATS TO THE SKINNY KID FROM BAMA TIM ANDERSON!  YOU CAN PUT AN AL BATTING TITLE ON THE BOARD, YEASSSSSSSS!  THIS RACE IS OVAH!

I looked it up 3.1 PA per scheduled game or 502.  He is beyond that now.  Would you rest a day before end of season so no stigma of not playing last game?

Yup. I'm watching for him and Collins to finish strong and for Lopez to at least show something to build for next season.

Then I present to you a self-calculating and hopefully self-explanatory table! The numbers currently in there for Lemahieu, Marte, and Rendon are their season bests for the number of games remaining for each of them. It is up to date to reflect today's action (where neither Rendon nor Marte played) and Tim's 4-for-4 day.

Edit- minor error in table
