That time of the year now into Sept I like to play the scenario game...

With 131 games in the book and being at 73-58, there are 31 games remaining in the season.

Play a tad over .500 the rest of the year.... let just say 17-14 gets this team 90 wins.

Unlike last year... I think 90 will get it done. This should be the target. And this also means they necessarily have to play lights out the last 31 games.

Got the sweep on a team we should and now are setup with Castillo, Ray, and Kirby for a 3 game set in Cleveland where they only need one win to hold the season tiebreaker against them.

Good to see the bats coming alive a bit. More base hits. Hopefully they don't go back to pressing against what should be tougher pitchers, but they already handled them even with their HR-centric scoring.

They still have time to get it all working where it needs to be. Just stay healthy (talking to you Hani).

I was thinking maybe one win vs Cleveland. Not being negative on M's, just think Indians are good. 2 would be awesome.

Their pitching is very good, offense is meh. They mirror the M's in a lot of ways really. I'm hoping the Mariners can take 2/3 with the starters that are lined up for the series. Mariners miss McKenzie and Bieber.

They are a great contact hitting team which kills the Mariners. They run up pitch counts and make us get to our bullpen which has been good, but not lights out like earlier. I would love 2 out of 3, but we will see.

Nice call.
