I am still looking more at getting in the playoffs via the division than the wildcard just because of the smaller number of competing teams. This next series starting tomorrow can go a long ways to determining how possible winning the division actually is.

Now, the following month we fell behind the Tigers again, but it just shows 7 games is nothing. Same is true for the Tigers and White Sox too. If one of these teams can run off 15 of 20, they can get right back into it. |

Yeah, anything is still possible at this point but that Indians rotation is good enough to fend off a collapse

If the Indians can be average offensively, their pitching staff will carry them to the AL Central Title

We should concentrate on the wild card. This team isn't that good.

Probably moot anyway. Not even worth paying attention to the playoff picture until this team can get and stay a few games over .500. Currently this looks much more like an 78 to 83 win team than it does a contender

This offense is ridiculously awful at scoring runs. Doesn't matter who bats where, nobody can drive in a ****ing run. Really awful baseball to watch

3rd Place MVP Cain needs to get well and back in the lineup in a hurry. Otherwise this season is toast.

Nice game today by the bullpen again. This isn't the same team as the last couple. I'd be ok selling if we stay 7-8 games back.

I know Cuthbert has filled in admirably, but this team really misses Moose.
Cain getting his ass back in the middle of the lineup would help to . . . . . |

Say what you want about style or whatever but this just isnt a playoff caliber team. Were still in it record wise and theres time to make a run but this current play doesnt deserve to make the playoffs. |

But it probably doesn't matter. Our games are not six inning games this year like they were the last two. |

The Royals should definitely be looking to deal with the Rays, imo. Matt Moore would seem to be a guy that they could extract the most value from with four controllable years. And he looks like a candidate who could benefit from a cutter against opposite handed pitching. Maybe that is something Eiland could make happen.
Additionally, we could take a stab at one of the Rays middle in-fielders given the depth they have there. Colome might also not be a bad bullpen option, if we could get them to look at trading him. |

Can we just pretend that we never brought Soria back and go steal Madson and Morales back?
