Definitely bad form to do magic numbers when you aren’t in first.

Cards-Reds postponed. Only mutual off day is Sept 9. Reds play a home day game against Arizona the day before and play in Seattle on Tuesday. Cards play in Pittsburgh the day before and in Colorado the day after. So I suppose making it up that day, as long as it's a day game, wouldn't be a killer on travel for either team. It's either that or back to back DH's. But Cincy has to fly home to play Philly on Monday at 2 p.m. local time so not sure how that would work out. St Louis is at home on Monday so there's no travel issue there.

Wouldn’t be surprised if MLB made it “TBD make up date”, pending if it’s even necessary at end of season.

Totally expecting the cardinals to get a few extra competitive balance draft picks due to this rain delay

The Cubs are 12 games over .500 and winning on the road. There are no rules anymore.

Magic numbers don't work when you're not in 1st.

[GaryWoods]

Are we doing magic number posts, or is it bad form to do one when you're not in first place?

 

I have no interest in the magic number until it reaches the point where the team can achieve it without regard to what the other team does. That's when you control your own destiny.

The Cubs do control control their own destiny, given the fact they have multiple games remaining against the sh!tbirds.
