Awesome, Scherzer pitched a gem and the O's took an L as did Boston! The Jays are now alone in 1st and....wait...what?

What can I say? we are charatcers

Would be in the Cy Young discussion if he played on another team. The Yankees offense took quite a few wins away from him. Should have 15+ wins or so

He's having a great season, for sure, but even with 15 wins, his inclusion in the CY discussion would be : Tanaka won't win it.

Not enough innings or Ks.

yah. It's going to this Beast

Not sure what wins have to do with anything - Cy's have been won with 13, 15 and 16 wins in recent years. He can easily get to 15 W's by the end of the year.

I think he'll get votes, but overall there are others (Hamels in particular) who probably have the upper hand.

Don't sleep on Kluber. He's making a late bid like he did when he won in '14.

I'd say he and Hamels are the most likely winners if the season ended today. It doesn't though, and Happ's last two games have been clunkers. I don't think he'll hang in there, personally.

my vote is for this guy

The Yankees may get to play spoiler, but nobody is shaking in their boots at the prospect of playing the team that performs the worst in the division when it comes to their rivals this year...the 19-27 Bankees.

The O's respectfully disagree with you

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

my vote is for this guy

No doubt, a reasonable choice.

Crazy.

If you'd have told me a few years ago that JA Happ and Rick Porcello would both be competing for a CY, I'd have told you to eat my schvanson.

Not a good couple of days.

Nobody wants to play the Yankees , kids with nothing to lose , team girardi can manage , it ain't over till it's over!

Nope not over by a long shot. Looking like at least early September will be worth watching in terms of a playoffs run.

 

[bksballer89]

Looking like a good day for the Yanks. Tigers, Royals, & Mariners are all losing.

 

[Pastafazul]

from this day forward every yankees game is a playoff game, pretty cool considering most gave up including me, i will be paying closer attention to what is going on, what a remaining schedule yanks have never seen anything like it.... go yanks, now this is baseball!

That 10 game homestand from September 5th-September 14th vs Toronto, Tampa, and LA Dodgers is crucial. Kind of need to go 7-3

It's a wide open field. If the season ended today there are five or six guys that could win without surprising me.

 

[bksballer89]

Could use really a few runs from friday and saturday now

 

[tducey]

good weekend for Toronto. Sweeping Minnesota is what you need to do if you want to make the playoffs.

The O's respectfully disagree with you

Yeah, they are the one team in the division the Bankees have done okay against. I'm happy NY won the series!

I actually agree. Happ is likely going to regress slightly in this last stretch and probably end up on the outside looking in for the hardware. Hamels is the front runner. Quintana has had a hell of a year.
