<p>Objectively speaking, the M's are still only 5-6 games out of the #Wild Card. Subjectively speaking, the Jays have lagged around .500 with a 115 offense and 100 pitching. Then they nabbed Tulo, Price, and Lowe. One of the unluckiest W/L teams in years.</p>
<div class="indented">Reply - Browns8625 - 8/9/15 6:55am<br>Between hitting slumps, errors on defense, bad bull pen including closes, and overall bad play.. hard to see glass half full</div>
<p>I'm not sure it's too late. If the M's can run off a string of 8-9 wins in a row they will be within striking distance of the #Wild card spot. Heck #Milwaukee won 8 in a row earlier this year. Other teams with winning streaks of 8 or more: HOU, TOR, NYM, SFG, STL, PIT, WSN... if the M's go on a roll, get near .500 by the end of the month, get Furbush back in the pen, get Paxton back for the September run.. who knows. This team has the talent to make a run.</p>
<p>Very convenient.. for sure. If the team pitched well they hit bad, if they hut well they pitched bad..and then sometimes pit hing and batting were both well and they threw in some serious errors defensively and #Wild pitches to get other Ls. Amazingly unlucky and unproductive year</p>
<p>Nothing like another #Wild pitch that can cost us a game. Like a week before break we lost on #Wild pitch.. awful. Not many teams losing on #Wild pitches twice in a months worth of games</p>
