8/18 Mariners Sniffing 9 Games Over, Again vs. Rangers Game Thread

[AT Funchal-Madeira]

I'm mixed up on times, tempuratures, and money.... Christ.

So I'm assuming the game starts tonight at 4:05 pm Seattle time? I'm in LIsbon waiting for a flight to Madeira and I am assuming that game will start at 12:05 tonight or 5 minutes past midnight in Madeira. I arrived at the Airport this morning and cashed out a couple hundred dollars for Euro dollars and ended up with less money..... looks like a dollar is worth about .85 cents Euro here, but the exchange rate in stores is even worse.... maybe the dollar is worth only .80 cents Euro.

I bought an adapter for my computer cord and that works, but the wifi is pretty weak here at the airport and I stuck my phone in the checked baggage so I won't see it until I finish this trip in Madeira.

As far as the tempurature is concerned, the hot months in Madeira are August and September when the temp. hits 27 C which is about 80 degrees. As far as I can tell, the temperature is similar to Jamaica, Kaleci, or Sri Lanka.

I'm gonna try to watch the game tonight.

I've been learning Portuguese, but these fuckers speak way too fast for me..... way too fast... I'm assuming it'll all come together slowly.

Except for they would have won 3 or 4 more games if they held on to Graveman and Chargois. They've had 3 blown saves and also lost a game that they were tied in and gave up runs in both the 9th and the 10th.

Few games they were only in because of Toro so

Name one.
There isn't a game they won that they would have lost without his bat. he hit Home runs in two games that we lost and his 3rd home run was a solo shot in a game we won by 2 runs. He has 8 RBI 6 of which came in losses 1 was the a fore mentioned solo homer in the 4-2 game and the 8th RBI came in a 9-3 win. He has scored 11 runs. 4 of those came in losses, and the rest came in wins of 9-5, 8-2 4-2 and 2-0.

Again, WAY too simplistic to say the you can just extract his bat and the game would have gone exactly the same way minus his contributions. Every action has a reaction. Every outcome from his ABs created a new scenario.

We are 64-56 in 120 games, almost 3/4 of the season behind us. We have 42 games remaining... if we continue at this pace we would win 23 games to give us 87. I think we need 90 or 91 to get into a wild card. To win 90 we need to win 26 out of 42 and that would be 26-16 the rest of the way or ten over in the final quarter. Pretty doubtful, imo... but it's a matter of the defense and pitching remaining solid, and a couple of guys catching fire with the bats...We either go on a couple 5 game win streaks or keep winning every series.... What's in the tank? I don't know....

87. That number rings a bell for some reason. I would have to go back and look but I think 90-91 was about my win projection based on individual WAR projections which are WAAAYYY Off by the way.

We have 42 games left. Exactly half of those games (or 21) are against the Red Sox, A's, and Astros. I don't see us dominating them at all.

Hey brother, right now it is 6:43AM PDT, 8:43AM CDT, 9:43AM EDT, 1:43PM in the Azores and 2:43PM in Lisbon. Not sure if you are Azores or Lisbon time.

So the game is 7:05PM CDT in Texas so 12:05am in the Azores and 1:05am in Lisbon.

Wow, you are west of freakin Morocco! Guessing that is Azores time.

Good news is we can control our destiny with wins against these guys
