Yogi Berra once said"It gets late early

Yogi "It gets late early out here."

I think that point is apt and we are nearly at the quarter pole. 16 and 20 7.5 games back of the West-leading Angels and Astros.
There are 8 teams ahead of us in the race for the 6 playoff spots.

We were once 11-6 games over and there are currently 5 break-away A.L. clubs that are

NYY +17 East leader
LAA +11
HOU +11
West co leaders
TB +6
Min +5 Central leader

The others
TOR +2

Under .500
CHI -1
Cle -1
Sea -4

It is getting desperate.

We have 5 above-average bats in the line-up Julio CF111, Frazier2B111, France1B 165, JP SS 173, and Saurez 3B-DH 117.

We have an average bat off the bench in Moore 100 OPS+

We have several more on the mend.
Murphy C 172, Haniger OF 107, and Lewis OF

If we can get healthy I could see this offense perform up to expectations

Moore's OPS+ is 89. But, Winker is at 100 and rising.

I know that was before the 36th game was added.

The point being if they get Murph, Lewis, and Hnaiger back they have a pretty good lineup. we had a 130s OPS+ offense earlier in the year: right now we have a 108 OPS+ offense compared to an 80 OPS+ about the same time last year and it rallied up to a 91 OPS+ by the end of the year. I believe it peaked as a 94 OPS+ after one of the big nights. So the offense is much improved and should get even better very soon.
