Around the AL West 2023

Rangers did to the Blue Jays what the Astros did to them last week. I wonder if a team has ever lost and won a series by 25+ runs in an 10 day span.

The angels have spoken-

Outstanding.

There’s a Japan sighting, and it’s not Godzilla, but it could be

Even Gerrit Cole finds this classless.

The Angels aren’t saying anything yet because they are waiting from the statement of the resigning service agency.

Unless it’s the Mets, I think he might not get a $500 million contract now.

Mets are on an austerity budget now

The park that makes the most sense for him is Yankee Stadium with its jet stream-assisted short RF. But I’m not sure he could handle the environment.

Angels announce he went on the IL with an oblique and will not play again this season.

Dodgers score 5 in top of 11th in Seattle…
Kelly makes an error, WP allows run to score, but LA 6-2 in 11.

This should be the most important regular season series this team has had in a while.

Might as well watch.

Hoping the boos will wake them up. And home field may not be an advantage this year…

Musing over the Sep schedule/results for the Astros (8 - 13, ALL Thursdays off) and Mariners (8 - 14, 2nd & 3rd Thursdays off) as they prepare for three head-to-head games @ Seattle.

There’s interesting stuff -

Astros’ Sept record 8 - 13

  • Sept/Season Away record 4 - 2/46 - 29
  • Six Away games left - 3 @ D’Backs

Mariners’ Sept record 8 - 14

  • Sept/Season Home record 2 - 4/41 - 33
  • Seven Home games left - 4 vs Texas

BTW, Texas is .500 on the road (37-37); they play 3 @ LAA & 4 @ Seattle…
I believe the schedulers should get a bonus!
Don’t plan on missing this…

ETA: Maybe the 'Stros don’t need home cooking…

Good insights on each contender in the West heading into the last week of the season.

McTaggart: Despite their struggles and vulnerabilities, the Astros are probably the last team anybody in the AL wants to face in October considering their recent postseason pedigree,

I have heard of ‘no comment’ but apparently Seattle’s media contingent had no questions for Servais at his post game press conference last night.

How can a group of reporters have no questions?

They’ve heard all of his whiney excuses before.

Maybe there was no question about who had the better pitcher last night.
Verlander was on his game, the lower 3rd of the order set the table in the 2nd, while Alvarez & Tuck came through.

Are you physically unable to just not write anything?

Inane stupidity like this lessens the board’s content.

Toronto SO by Yanks 0-2; Rangers fall to Angels 9-3.
Correa (hitting .230) is going on IL (hamstring).
