Whew! Glad to see Gomez back on top of it all with Carter Hot...I gotta rub my eyes and pinch myself...right on time!
On the road again Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway We're the best of friends Insisting that the world be runnin' our way And our way is on the road again Just can't wait to get on the road again The life I love is makin' music for my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again
He made over 4 million this year... he won't make less next year. But at the very least, he's got trade value now. He did not have that as of a month ago (or hell, 2 weeks ago). So, you trade him or you keep him in this part-time "platoon/1B/DH" role that he seems to be better suited to. When he starts to suck, you bench him for 2-3 weeks... and then see if he's still got it afterwards. He's like an old PC that is filled with malware and its hard drive is clogged up... but when you re-boot it, its running great for a brief period of time.
I think Keuchel should win the Cy, however, Price has more name recognition and the Blue Jays are stomping the yard, So I think that he might be a little behind the 8 ball. 20 wins and the Astros in the playoffs though would give it to him as that's a magic number which Prince cannot get.
Pressure is on Rangers now not to blow a 4.5 game lead. Maybe just maybe they start to get tight in the final week as Astros and Angels heat up. I'd love nothing more than to see the Angels sweep them right out of the playoffs.
Ugh .. Angels take the lead because of a terrible play by the CF turning a routine single into a double from the hustling runner
4 wins all but guarantees at least a tie for the WC. 5 wins and you have a slight shot at division and will most certainly take the WC. 6-0 and you have an average to above average chance at a tie or better for division.
