3 way means whoever has the tiebreak breaks down to a 2 way after the Astros take the division
If we get the good Heaney, he’s the most capable of the remaining options of throwing a shutout. He’s done it before. Of course that’s a very big IF…
It could be worth $7 million to him.
No it doesn’t. Why do you keep arguing this? It’s been said already by multiple reporters. A 3-way tie means we’re out.3 way means whoever has the tiebreak breaks down to a 2 way after the Astros take the division
He’ll get pulled after 6 even if he’s throwing a perfect game. Need that 7 million to sign a reliever and hope he opts out.

Nobody is arguing that. You were the one who initially said we had already qualified. You said we would make it in with a 3-way tie. FALSE.Not if it’s not a 3 way tie
As others have accurately stated, it’s all going to come down to whether the offense actually decides to show up or not. Because with 2 more performances like tonight, it won’t matter how perfect Heaney and Perez/Dunning are. The bats have to come alive or it’s all over.He’ll get pulled after 6 even if he’s throwing a perfect game. Need that 7 million to sign a reliever and hope he opts out.
If Sunday is for the division they’ll start Dunning on short rest.
Just tell him he will be a reliever next year and either we have got a good reliever or he opts out to start somewhere else.He’ll get pulled after 6 even if he’s throwing a perfect game. Need that 7 million to sign a reliever and hope he opts out.

I’ve been thinking about that very strange thing. There are like 22 other teams who would kill to be in our position at this moment, just needing one win out of two games to get into the playoffs.It’s been terrible to stomach the last two losses as a fan but the Rangers are statistically a 94.8% chance to make the playoffs with 2 games left. Is everybody panicking?
I would have loved to have known we would be a game away from winning the division at this point. I gave never cared for the wildcard. If you would have asked me if I would have been happy to go into the playoffs limping badly and bleeding profusely I would gave said "no" to even the division.I’ve been thinking about that very strange thing. There are like 22 other teams who would kill to be in our position at this moment, just needing one win out of two games to get into the playoffs.
And if you had polled this board back in March if we would take being just 1 win away from the playoffs, you would have gotten a 100% positive response.
BUT… based on a) our team’s current complete inability to score any runs at all, and b) this franchise’s cursed history, it definitely feels like getting just 1 win will be impossible.
Of course, it’s not. But it feels that way.
There is one other factor going in your favor. Houston can smell the division title. I could very easily see them sweeping which backs you into the playoffs.I’ve been thinking about that very strange thing.

The only way Texas doesn't make it is if Seattle wins the next two games and Houston goes 1-1. If Houston wins both, it doesn't matter what happens in this series rangers are in, Seattle is out.. If Houston loses both, Seattle must win both to make it in wc with Texas as division champs.Nobody is arguing that. You were the one who initially said we had already qualified. You said we would make it in with a 3-way tie. FALSE.
One last time… 2-way tie with Mariners means we’re in as the division champs. 3-way tie with Mariners and Astros means Mariners are division champs and Astros get the wild card over us.
94.8 is Toronto's chances. Texas has a 90.3 pct chance to make it. Still very high.It’s been terrible to stomach the last two losses as a fan but the Rangers are statistically a 94.8% chance to make the playoffs with 2 games left. Is everybody panicking?
What you are missing is that Houston does not win the division if it's a three way tie. Seattle does. After that it becomes a head to head with Texas and Houston. Houston wins the head to head. Texas out of it's a three way tie. Plane and simple.Not if it’s not a 3 way tie
The percentages are blind to our offense, our relief pitching and our starting pitching situation.94.8 is Toronto's chances. Texas has a 90.3 pct chance to make it. Still very high.
