And if they don't make it, well yeah, it was a 1 in 20 or 1 in 25 shot, what did you expect?

So, if 90 is the goal, and that would certainly be impressive, this team is going to have to go full-on beast mode, winning every series and sweeping a couple.
With 75 wins in the bank and 19 to go, we're going to have to carry a winning percentage of .789 from here on out. We can afford 4 more losses for the remainder of the season in a schedule that includes 3 at Cleveland, 3 at Detroit, 3 vs. Cleveland, and 3 vs. Texas. So here's how you'd have to do it. You'd have to win all four of those series and sweep at least one, preferably vs. Cleveland and then sweep either the Mariners or White Sox on the road and win the other one. Yikes. |

is there any way GMDM could/would snag a bat before the season is out?

No. Not really. Unless they bring in someone from Japan or something.

I will say this...
Here's a creative thought for acquiring a bat for next season: Wladimir Ballentien. The ex-Mariners super-stud washed out of the major leagues after 3 years and about 560 ABs, but he is having a legendary season over in Japan (1.278 OPS, .814 SLG). Now, it's unlikely he can replicate that success in the U.S. Like, winning PowerBall level of unlikely. But it IS possible Ballatien is the modern Cecil Fielder and figured something out in Japan that he could never get here (for Cecil, it was recognizing and hitting non-fastballs - something Japanese pitchers throw much more of). Ballatien has two years let on his NPL deal, and I have no idea what that means as far as acquiring him. But it would be an interesting way to try to address the RH power issue (and RF)...

I have never even heard of him.
Also, someone needs to start a game thread. I would but I have not had good luck with them. |

I've never started one and don't know if it would be a good idea.
