@pj is hacking. or he's got an in with Ohtani's interpreter

reply

He took the A's this week. He either feels bad for us or he sees the future.

reply

Lol I threw all my chips in on the 'Stros! FIgured it I was going to go out I was going to go out with the home team!

reply

Playing the A's for 4 but then the Brewers. Need to have 3/4 vs A's.

reply

Knowing how this team operates they will lose all 4 against the A's but sweep the Brewers just to make me mad

reply

Could be worse. You could be a Blue Jays fan. At least the West is still within reach if the Astros turn it around. Blue Jays sitting in last 8.5 games out with 3 against the O's and 3 against the Rays this week. Could be ugly a week from today.

reply

OAK is definitely a long shot. So I'm hoping for a split with HOU and a series win against KC. As a Giants fan, I try to watch as little MLB baseball as possible, because I like the hair that I have left on my head.

reply

Alrighty the ‘Stros have already surprised me by winning the first game… I figured at best we would win the last couple so I’m kinda impressed… could we be turning a corner?!?!

I better deploy a more thoughtful strategy going forward.

reply

My strategy has worked well. I have only used the Phillies and now Yankees this week which leaves me 3/5 the top teams remaining plus a few other good options to use when the schedules line up right.

reply

Siggy and bellcurve in a similar position to me with one strike and a number of top teams left.

reply

Which ones are the top teams? The ones at the top of the standings? I think I've used quite a few of those haha

reply

The 5 best teams are Dodgers, Phillies, Braves, Orioles and Yankees. There are other good teams but I think these teams are a cut above the others.

reply

Yep. I've used 4 out of the 5 top teams you listed. That strike from the first week scared me real good that I went on a top teams picking spree.

reply

That was a tough one.

reply

Rangers... Jesus. Started off the week well, before getting swept by the Rockies of all teams. Not good

reply

I am trying to figure out how Cleveland lost 3 of 4 from the freaking White Sox of all teams...

reply

Baseball be like that sometimes.

reply

Wouldn't be fun to win without the fear/feeling of defeat... But then again winning all the time would be pretty fun, so not sure what I am trying to to say.

reply

A couple tough weeks for you. First the Blue Jays blow up against the Nationals last weekend and then the Rangers poop the bed against the Rockies.

BTW Manoah was great yesterday. Go figure. He gave up 3 runs but all unearned due to an error. Pitched 7 innings had 6Ks.

reply

Yeah tough beat. That's baseball. Sometimes good teams lose to garbage teams. I think the three strike rule to counteract this fact is working pretty well.

reply

@Bell_curve we got a little lucky this week. Giants blew a two run lead late but won it in 11 yesterday to save us from a strike,
