Not gonna lie, I'm feeling a little nervous with how dogshit out rotation is. Cleveland improved at the deadline and we somehow got worse.

Cleveland has won 5 of 6 getting to play the best of the best; SF, COL, LAA. Only 2.5 games up now and Cleveland still has 2 more with LAA then play KC at home. Their deadline acquisitions are helping them.

It would be a real gut punch to miss the playoffs after leading the division all season and actively making the team worse at the trade deadline.

I think so but hopefully I don't regret not cashing out my bet when I could

I am a YES for the playoffs

Yes we make the playoffs as an 84 win division winner, for whatever that is worth.

(It’s probably worth a first round exit to an AL east wildcard team that we struggle to win 1 game against)

Also, we have been a .500 team since May 31 - about a 70 game stretch. I think there’s no reason to think that we are better or worse than .500 the rest of the way.

I posted this in another thread, but the Sox are 9-11 since the trade deadline. Luckily for the Sox, the Guardians are 9-10 in the same stretch but have just improved their play the past week.

It’s probably just whichever team goes on a hot streak wins the division.

Currently the last wild card, Cleveland is .500. 31 games to go. We would have to go worse than 13-18 to finish below .500. I think we are running on fumes but will make it. We need a couple bats to get hot and some pitchers to give us some innings. I think we make it.

The math looks good to get in, but beyond that....

I do believe you are seeing the cracks in the armor though. Would it surprise me if they missed, not really, but someone will need to get hot to beat them, which is the part I am not sure of.

Yes, but it’ll continue to not be pretty.

Let the good times roll. After the last 2 1/2 seasons I will take it .

It sure beats the alternative.
