This isn’t must win (a loss yesterday would have made it that way in my opinion), but quite a turning point either way. Either down 2.0 games...suddenly right there in the thick of it...or still 4 out on the verge of our season being over.

 

At some point you have to gain games...stellar opportunity here.

I know there are literally no other options but an IF of Perez, Spanginflinger, and Arcia is beyond barf. Throw in Austin at 1B and that's like a AAA no-star squad out there.

 

And those guys will probably be the difference in the game today, because baseball.

 

Gotta hope that Braun and Cain are healthy enough to make a difference today.

This line-up should produce 1-2 runs at most, which is why they will knock out a 10 spot today!

 

I'd like to see Yelich hit 2 bombs and swipe 2 bags today to get that much closer to that 50/40 mark...

Screw it, we don't have the men for it but neither did Jon Snow. Let's go on a Cardinals 2006/2011 and win it all with half a team of crappy players!

Has that ever been done?

 

It would be remarkable.

No, 50/30 has never been done. That’s what he is shooting for realistically. I doubt he has 10 more steals in him...never know though.

Austin must have gotten scratched. I'm a bit surprised they didn't have Freitas start behind the dish and Grandal at first.

 

Counsell said he likes Freitas as a pinch hitter. Another way of saying CC doesn’t like Freitas. Would have been nice to see Freitas get 3-4 AB’s today off the lefty.

2006 not that great...2011 was a legit team.

 

That being said, both are notably better than our horrendous roster.

I'm no doctor, but I have a hard time understanding how Braun can be in a condition where he can't even pinch hit with the season potentially on the line in a late tie game and literally 15 hours later be in good enough condition to not only play but start.
