I hope it will be on here in IL.

Although I personally would also consider losing thr wild card game as not having achieved it either.

I just think management makes too many excuses like injuries or placing blame on the players, instead of the flawed strategies and player personnel decisions.
Making the playoffs will likely lead to no significant changes next year, IMO. As constructed and with this manager they will likely be in the same position next year.

Losing the play-in game(s)? Losing the wild card game? It seems like the play-in game is like a wild card game, just more to win to play a series.

I was thinking Toronto or Seattle could pass them, but it looks like only Boston can get to 92 wins.

Maybe we will get a 4 way tie for the wild card. Man, I hope not.

Better to start him on occasion (when SP likes him) than expect anything in the moment.

Oh well, they gave it the ol’ college try. Can’t really complain.
