AL East 2016 thread

I said 89 wins gets you into the AL playoffs and will stick with that. So if the Yankees hold on tonight, they still need to go 14-8 in my mind. Regardless of where or who they are playing.

Agreed. I think the division winner needs 91 wins.

I agree as well

First pitch by Delin is a nasty curve.

One more out

 

[bksballer89]

Base hit by Morrison. 7-5 runners on the corners with one outs

Yankees win!!!!

1 game out of the 2nd WC. 2 games out of the first WC. 6 game winning streak. 10 games over .500 for the first time all year

wow, i didn't think there could be anything that could overshadow sitarrdee's decision making, but i was wrong. Whose ever decision it was to rain delay the game the 1st time is the biggest dingbat of all. With an early start tomorrow, i hope there is no carry over..... go yanks

At least its not a 1 PM start which is usual for a Saturday afternoon home game. 4 PM start will help

Porcello's having one hell of a comeback year. He ranks in the top 10 in the AL in WAR (both Fangraphs and B-R), K-BB%, ERA, ERA+, FIP, IP, BB/9, HR/9 (wasn't expecting that), and he could be the only 20-game winner in the AL. I don't put any stock into pitchers wins/losses, but the gaudy win total could get him some CYA votes, especially with how congested the AL CYA race is.

And the Blue Jays lose again, had a player's only meeting this morning. Got to think Gibbons is gone as coach if they miss the playoffs.

yankee fans, or anybody who feels like answering.... the youth movement the yankees appear to be on, come off season do you think there will be talk of obtaining a big name free agent, and if there is, what are the chances they will want to play here with the kids.

will the mighty dollar win , or will they walk away from big offer for chances of winning a ring right away?

Back to Back Bronx Bombers

 

[Pastafazul]

and heres the carry over.... i would still bring in betances,

 

[bksballer89]

This is getting ridiculous lol. Assuming they play in Detroit, the Yankees will end the night tied with the loser. Only 3 back of the division.

 

[obxyankeefan]

13-8 for wildcard
15-6 for division

 

[bksballer89]

13-8 for wildcard
15-6 for division

Getting more realistic

He is making a strong statement to be the CY.

Right now I would have it

Porcello
Kulber
Happ
Verlander
Price

Buck going to put Britton out there in an 11-3 game?

risk giving up a cheap run and ruin his outside shot for a backdoor Cy Young in a meaningless moment

Os win.
Sox
Jays 1GB
O's 2GB
Yanks 3 GB
