No need to jump off the deep end. We wanted 2 of 3 and they got it. The only real bummer with this one is that our pitching staff is gassed. Tomorrow is going to be a very hard game even if Davies gives us 7.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

I kind of figured a loss tonight, but the tough part is having to use all our good relievers. Swarzak and Knebel looked pretty shaky to me, just trying to grind through. Both of them need a day, and it'll have to be tomorrow.

 

The good news is, at one back of the WC, this team is going to be right in it. Even a split with the Cubs keeps them alive, and I feel good about next week.

 

This is a resilient bunch, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them jump on Arietta tomorrow.

Pretty much what we should have expected. We just can't take advantage when other teams lose.

 

You mean like the last two days?

 

I mean like all the way back to when we dropped out of first. The Cubs go into a funk and instead of gaining ground we get swept by the freaking Reds. Up until the last 10 days or so the Cubs have given us every opportunity to take an extra game here or there but we fall flat on our face. We don't get beaten by a better team, we choke away chances until we lose. How many were left on base tonight? 8 maybe? Just embarrassing how bad this offense is when they need to be.

Here's the problem: COL has SD...they will have a pretty easy time of it. We are playing Cubs. Not good.

 

Colorado just got swept by the Giants in a 2 game set, after losing a game to the Padres. Sometimes good teams lose to bad teams. Actually happens quite a lot in baseball.

No, we wanted every game. Baseball standings are measured in individual wins, not series wins. I realize it's greedy to want a sweep but at this point in the season, with 8 games left, every one is crucial. You cannot afford to give a single one away.

 

With the Rockies upcoming schedule, it's likely going to be tough to make up ground. Today takes the division off the table for us with anything less than 3 out of 4 vs. the Cubs. Even with that, we'll need to make up 2 games over 4, so it'll likely take a sweep.

I wish my team won every game.

Is it better to lose when the other teams win?? Then you actually LOSE ground. Only other option is to win every single game.

 

I get it, this one hurt. But the "taking advantage when other teams lose" thing has never made sense to me.

Meh, I get being down about the loss as it is a tough one but winning each remaining series should get you in. If it doesn't, well they're playing their butts off. I'll have no problem missing out if they do that.
