Probably a jinx, but something to have fun with.

As of 8/17 AM, G's have 39 gms remaining
4 Teams - Mil, NYM, Phils, Cubs ahead for the 2nd berth
G's 2.5 back, 3 gms out in the lost column
Only hth series w/ teams in front are 3gms @ Cubs next series and 4gms @ STL (W.C. leader) starting 9/2


DickDick is back, bully likely to improve, and Lil' Yaz is the 2nd coming of Mr. RedSox

Not out of the reach if we get a streak going :hope:

The prob is, when there are 4 teams ahead, is that not only do we need to get hot, but ALL the above teams need to be cold. Possible, sure, but the odds are astronomical.

Of course... but our chances this year are infinitely better than in '18. At least there is something to track

But none of them have that big of a lead on us.

2.5 back right now.

The Mets are still pretty hot but so are we.

If we can keep up this 7-3 pace, or possibly even 6-4, I think we can get it done.

So all we have to do is play 700 ball from here on out?

No prob...

Tough road schedule between now and the end of the year. If we make it, we will have earned it, and we will be as good as anybody:

3 @ Cubs
2 @ Oak
4 @ Cards
3 @ LA
3 @ Bos (Yaz in Fenway! They should give him #8 for that series.)
3 @ Atl

Not a cream puff team in the lot. 500 will be a chore

We will need an upside surprise or two out of the bullpen.

And Crawford needs to start hitting like he is capable of.

not good.... losing doesn't appear to help our prospect

37gms remaining, 3.5gms back, 4gms out in lost column, 4 teams ahead

sweeping the cubs' series would be a positive step

You are being a real nattering nabob of negativism lately.

Crawford OPS

2015 - .782

2016 - .772

2017 - .709

2018 - .719

2019 - .644

(For comparison, Panik's OPS for 2018-2019 is .640)

Crawford has lost both bat speed and foot speed, and his hitting reflects that. Nothing negative about the evaluation, other than BCraw's stats and continued sukkitude at the plate. Even his defense has suffered, as he is near a career low of .971 fielding percentage.

Losing foot speed will do that.

what i've noticed, and i don't have stats to back it up, is contact with risp seems to have plummeted. a few years ago craw was most locked in at the plate with runners on. now it's a flail-fest
