Mad Max regaining form is huge down the stretch.

Springer and Kirk are both returning to the lineup in the next series (vs. COL)


This is what I'd roll with:

Loperfido (LF)
Springer (DH)
Vlad (1B)
Bo (SS)
Barger (3B)
Kirk (C)
Lukes (RF)
Clement (2B)
Varsho (CF)


Rotation:

Berrios
Gausman
Bieber*
Bassitt
Scherzer
---------
Lauer

*God forbid, Bieber doesn't regain form as a SP, we can continue on w/ Lauer and potentially have Biebz come out the pen.

This all makes me EXCITED. We're set for the post-season!

The offensive stats are good this year but I still think talent wise their batting lineup doesn't look that awesome.

Ya, Lukes and Clement falling back down to earth.
I think Loperfido is legit (although his avg will likely come down to about .300 as well).

I fkin pray that Santander can return soon and regain form right away. We'll need him.

I do like the current supporting players more though and this team just plays hard and does all the little things right. I think the past teams assumed they could just get by on their talent alone.


So the LeBronto raptors lol

The LeBronto Raptors won multiple playoff rounds. The Shatkins Blue Jays haven't won a single playoff game lol. We've made the playoffs 3 times and been swept out of the first round (WC series) each time.

Does this mean Rogers can be a good owner? Asking for Raptors' fans.

Well ... yeah. But its August & we have the best record in the AL & our best record since winning B2B WS, so maybe let us enjoy it while we wait for October?

Coors field is by far the easiest hitters park in the majors, you'd think the Rockies would be able to put up some numbers lol. Makes you wonder how good thier best players over the years really were. I know Tulo definitely feasted on that field, he was pretty bad after he left. There were definitely question about Larry Walker

Somehow they've never been able to field a proper team there despite their home field advantage (or I suppose, disadvantage). Given their home field, you'd think they'd just invest in mashers, but it's been kind of a weird series of small ball players...

Sounds like their gm doesn't have a clue, some teams are just farm teams for the rest league
