RE the Padres discussion, also worth mentioning that, tonight notwithstanding, Darvish has been pretty awful since the new foreign substance restrictions came down. The delicious irony of that, of course, is that Darvish seemed to view himself as a brave upholder of baseball propriety not too long ago…

The nice thing about the Cards winning (there aren't many) is that it makes it more likely the Brewers clinch with a home win, which is the sweetest way to clinch.

Brewers are home now for what, 7 more games? They better clinch at home.

 

Yes, but playing the 2nd-place team means they have to win to clinch. If it were anyone else, you could clinch with a loss, which is a little awkward.

In a weird way, if the magic number is 2 or 1 heading into the 4-gamer with STL, does it behoove the Cards to lose game 1? I know it's not the Cardinals way, but have to figure they'd rather get face three Sunday-type lineups...

The Brewers have to work Adames, Taylor, and Garcia back in. Plus there’s a 28-man roster. Sunday lineups are harder to do.
