I don't think this team will just be happy getting into the playoffs. I'm sure their goals are much higher. My question is, are they going to come back next year like the Lions did after finishing 8-2 to end the 2022 season?
Yeah, a sweep. But just winning 2 of 3 would still leave us 3 games back with 6 games remaining. It would take a 1987 Toronto like collapse. Possible but improbable.
Many of these kids all played together at the minor league level. That really does seem to make a difference. But these no-name BP arms that are lights out? I think Fetter uses voodoo or something, it's really quite amazing.
Arizona is pretty good on offense. Rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. can be a handful. And Murray is scary when he scrambles. Maybe Hutch needs to introduce himself, up close and personal? 😅😅
Yeah, 1972 was aging stars that Billy Martin kicked in the butt to win. That year was kind of a surprise. But nothing like this. We fell into the trap of an artifical playoff race. Exciting but there's too many playoff teams.
We're playing with house money. At worst, we won't gain. But guaranteed we won't fall back. Day off tomorrow and a day game for Twins Cleveland. If everything goes the way we want it, we'll be tied with them.
