2019-09-19 Other MLB Games with Playoff Implications - Phillies and Braves 1115am

Kimbrel does it again.

 

Ok we are 1 game up in the WC......I think that is the best result.

 

Need to get to the playoffs first......division is a bonus at this stage.....that last road trip has me worried.....we have to face Gray who has been almost unbeatable.....and anything can happen in Colorado.

 

Big +1. I hope the Dirty Birds take three more from the Chubs and I hope we sweep the Rats...

Bader seems like a big jag. Another reason to hate the cards

 

His stupid old timey wind up camera routine is annoying.

From here on out I’m hoping the Cardinals smash the Cubs. We aren’t making up three games on the Cardinals at this point.

 

100% disagree, the Crew sweeps the Pirates(which they should), and now the Cubs win the next three vs. Cards and guess what?? You have a tie for the division lead to start next week. Not unrealistic at all. Heck even a split between Cubs-Cards now...Cubs win two more, Cards win one more, and the Crew is 1 game back. Easy Peasey to make that up.

[IIAY]

I think at this point if the Brewers make the playoffs they should give Kimbrel a playoff share.

I was pretty conflicted this entire game. Thoroughly enjoyed how crushed the Cubs fans must have been on that Carpenter homerun, love a Cubs loss...but the division is slowly creeping out of reaching.

If they could have scratched out a couple runs last night and got the sweep the crew would be looking really good.

The division was going to be a pipe dream. Making the playoffs would be a major achievement for this team

 

Plus you can still win that one game. It’s not an automatic loss

Add to it he's an untalented gnome much like eckstein and you have a typical cardinal. Molina still is head and shoulders above them all as far as a d bag. He'd be #1 on my list if I were Black (hint hint hit him in the face)

[Outlander]

My goodness that escalated quickly. Sure as heck hope Counsell wouldn't encourage anybody hitting somebody in the face. Black could kill somebody.

I mean in the long run we should hope the Cubs miss the playoffs even if it means the Brewers would be a wild card, right?

 

The Cubs are basically the same group of players that won the WS in 2016. If they fail to make it this year, Epstein has said there will be a “reckoning” which I interpret as meaning they’ll break up the club and try to retool with some different pieces added to the Bryant, Rizzo, Baez, Contreras core. From a competitive standpoint t I think the Cubs shuffling their talent would be a good thing for the Brewers in 2020 and beyond

Yes, agree, get in should be the priority. And if we keep winning, but don’t pass the Cards, beating out the Nats and hosting the WC game would be fantastic.

 

Ricketts is getting rid of Theo & co, which imo, is not good for us. 2020 yes, beyond no. He’ll go young Brainiac, and with a 1-2 year re-tool and 240 million payroll, should be the dodgers and win forever.

[Zad Fnark]

Put the Cubs about 4 games behind us.

 

The Cards could always implode after this series, like they choked away last season.
