    I get out of class 330 central so will catch most. Also will be in LA next weekend, very much thinking of getting some tix whenever we have somedefinite sense of what the fuck is going on

    why not just take the winner of the season head to head to win the division?
    i honestly don't even know if that would be us
    just seems silly to add 163

    yeah the bullpen isn't good enough to do this IMO. Kenley/Maeda/Alexander/Ferguson/Floro/Wood/Stripling/Baez MAYBE gets you through 7 innings to be honest. And that's a perfect case scenario with some names in there that are shaky. The other outs have to come from.. Madson? Rosscup? uh, Fields? Urias? Idk. You're basically needing 6+ outs from a group of relievers that aren't good, in a game where they probably won't score a lot

    I can't but it's sure nice to see him looking strong into the 7th.

    Seems like a loooong time since he's gotten this deep..

    awesome performance. That's how you pitch to a shitty team with a lead

    I’d guess that the plan for tomorrow is bullpen game. Many on here look at it as “well if you lose tomorrow, season is pretty much over anyway.” That is not what the FO will do. Yes, lose tomorrow with Buehler starting and they’re fucked. Lose tomorrow with a bullpen game and at least they have Buehler for the WC game. Do the bullpen game at home with your 15 man bullpen and just matchup the hell out of it. Start Wood and hope he can get you 6 outs, maybe 9 and go from there. Same thing applies for him as it did for Hill in my book. The dude has shown up in some huge games for us, maybe he can do it one more time.

    Used to be that way, I think. In 2006 we finished with the same record as SD but settled for the WC because of head-to-head match-ups.
    Now, with the WC having more consequence, they've made a 163 necessary to determine the division.

    It does diminish the meaning of playing 18 games against each division rival though if it doesn't mean more than HFA.

    They should think that way because it's true. If we have to play that Wild Card game, our travel schedule, rotation, and potential NLDS opponent, etc are all screwed up.

    Walk this kid in 163
    No question. What's that, his 7th HR in 7 straight games?

    Yeah, that’s not the way they’re going to look at it. Both the Cubs and Brewers have to play tomorrow too and the Brewers rotation/bullpen is a bit questionable right now. Their best pitcher is probably going tomorrow(Chacin). The Cubs offense has been struggling as has their pen. That WC is very winnable.

    That's true, it is winnable but its also: An away game, and even if you win then you have to face the Brewers or Cubs in a short series w/ out HFA. The Brewers/Cubs are better than both the Rockies and Braves, so you set yourself up to try and beat those teams.

    It will be interesting to see what the Rockies do. Marquez is in line to start, but then they’d be in trouble too for the WC game. They too could elect for a bullpen game.

    Not sure I get using Julio here. He's a legit weapon I'd consider turning to tomorrow in a big spot...

    Simple: if we lose tomorrow, we still have Tuesday with Buehler...we can win and go on from there...we lose tomorrow and burn Ferris, we're not looking good in the WC game. Or as good if he were pitching.
