Starting tomorrow, there are 59 games left / 19 series's left in the season... with 25 games at home where 17 of those games are against our division.
Other than the Mets, Braves and 3 sets with the A's, everyone else on the schedule is in the same position we are in... which is start winning or start packing.
Moreover, for as many injuries as this team has had... they are not healthy even now. I mean, Cano / Cruz / Segura / Dyson / Zunino can not sprint today and probably can not sprint any time soon. Add in Haniger's finger, Valencia's throwing up, and several guys heads or mental state... so at best, this team is not firing on all cylinders by a long shot.
Luckily, many other teams are going through some of the same injuries and many teams the M's will play will probably be giving up in the next couple weeks... so there is a chance, and as an athlete, most of the time all you can hope for is for a chance to win in the end.
This is definitely not the position we want to be in, but the team IS in position to where even a couple small runs gets them into the playoffs - which is probably all anyone of us was asking for in March. Hopefully these guys want it more than the other tweeners they will be playing against.
