Post #1 » by **humanrefutation** » Mon Sep 23, 2019 8:12 pm

Tuesday, 9/24 at 5:40PM CST: Houser versus Gray
Wednesday, 9/25 at 5:40PM CST: Lyles versus Mahle
Thursday, 9/26 at 11:35AM CST: Anderson versus Castillo

You know the Reds would love to spoil our fun. We've gone 8-8 against them this year, but have gone 1-5 against them since July 2nd.

I've never felt so uneasy about a 4 game advantage with only 6 games to play.

Yeah the fact you can damn near pencil in 3 wins for the Cubs against the pirates makes that lead a little sketchy. Then that final series the cards might already have clinched, I'd imagine they would still love to knock the Cubs out but they will also be careful to make sure they are setting themselves up for the postseason.

Just got to keep winning.

MAGIC NUMBER is 2 with 6 to play? correct?

Nope, it's 3. Cubs are 4 games behind us, so 2-4 could conceivably tie us with them if they win out.

Nats win game 1 of double header against the Phillies, full game behind again.

Was looking at the standings approx two weeks ago and the Brewers run differential was -89. Said to myself, this team is a pretender, even though they were still over .500.

Tonight their DIFF evened out at zero.

This has been a crazy run. Even crazier than last year's.

my kid was nice enough to inform me this morning the Dbacks beat the Cards in 19 last night.
