Teams with the best record in 1-run games

The teams that find a way to win close games often find themselves in the postseason. Take the 2023 Marlins, who went 33-14 in one-run games to reach the playoffs despite a -57 run differential -- the lowest for any team to ever make the postseason. The 2016 Rangers hold

I wonder if it is the same injury that Jung had.

Lists Texas as a possibility for Skubal.

Sure hope not. Jung is almost a forgotten word due to that injury

He is not forgotten. He is most likely going to get some at bats here in a few weeks. To me, he is still our top prospect.

You know I wonder how much different the one run record this year would be if they had signed Kershaw...

I kind of like "Never give up, never surrender". LOL!

Or if someone had put a bat on the ball.

I heard he is likely to AZ. Does he need to be rostered?

Well you might be on to something. Might need a mid season change in hashtag lol

 

[saddles]

He is there right now. At some point, I imagine he probably gets 20 to 30 games in at AAA, a league he has already shown he can hit at.

 

[Kelleyman]

Probably nothing

Good, a player/pitcher with attitude

Or if someone had put a bat on the ball.

Situational hitting seems to be a lost art, everybody wants to be the hero and usually ends up being a zero...

I used to tell my guys all the time in tight games with RISP that you probably aren't going to see the pitch you want so all I ask is you drive the hell out of what you get and let the chips fall where they may...

 

[Kelleyman]

Hope he is not heading to the Astros

Toronto released lefty Derek Holland from AAA Buffalo. He'd posted a 5.53 ERA in 27.2 innings. Sad to say, Holland hasn't pitched well since 2018 with the Giants, inclusive of various minor league stints, and this could be the end. If so, he finishes with a 4.35 ERA in 1,466 MLB innings and the best World Series start in Texas's history. The gap between my first mention of him (simply listed on short-A Spokane's roster as a draft-and-follow sign) and his MLB debut was only 22 months. Not bad for the 748th pick of the 2006 draft. Seeing him and Neftali Feliz pitch on consecutive days for Frisco in 2008 was a career highlight. (For me, not them.)

Per Scott Lucas.

Best wishes regardless

Probably nothing

I might rest him a little longer than that.
