Listen, guys, we just need to reel off one of those 35-10 streaks and we are RIGHT BACK IN THIS THING.

Actually, a decent sized winning “zone” would put us right back in it. I don’t want to call it a streak, because I’m hoping it’s just us returning to the level we’re capable of but we are still very much in this.

coolstandings.com has us at about 14% chance of getting to the playoffs. Oddly, 6.2% comes from wild card chances.

it uses current record and pyth stuff to come up with a model to come up with somewhat advanced chances of each team making the playoffs and/or winning the division.

There’s no way the White Sox have an 85% chance of winning the division.

Yeah it looks like they weren’t updating it properly through the season, so it was improperly inflating our chances.

Along these same lines, some douche behind me yelled out “you suck Jahonny” yesterday at the game, so I gave him an LGT tirade explaining the spelling and why it is he, and not Jhonny’s parents who are in the wrong.

He had one AB where he saw 5 pitches. That’s about as big picture as you can get. The last flyout was well hit.

His at-bats looked bad, by and large. He seemed anxious to do something big and was swinging at pitches well outside the zone. On the bright side, his swing looked much more compact than I remember (although with more of an upper-cut than he needs).

His first AB was very bad in this regard. Willis couldn’t find the plate and Josh was determined to get a big hit.
Why exactly was he laying down a bunt on the second pitch? You wonder if that came from the dugout or if he did it himself?
