9/22 - Rockies (Davis) vs Cubs (Taillon): 1:20pm, Marquee

[UMFan83]

1 run is better than 0

Bednar ironically might be a little worn out pitching mop up duty against the Cubs last night 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Damn. Pirates fail to blow it open. Heart of the Reds lineup down 2.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Bednar comes in and walks the first guy on 4 pitches. Buckle up.

[UMFan83]

And the first 2 reach for the Reds

looks like more 9th inning GABP magic for the Reds

[Transmogrified Tiger]

extremely dumb throw decision by Hayes there, yeesh

2 run lead and there’s no way they’re turning 2 there. Yeesh

but they got the GIDP this time. Votto is up as the tying run

Ok perfect night for the Cubs

Arizona 1 GA

Cubs —

Marlins 1 GB

And the baseball gods deliver a massive gift to the Cubs.  All 3 competitors lose and the Cubs are back solidly on the last Wild Card spot.

Maybe our biggest threat is the Padres lol 4 GB, already up tonight over STL and a cakewalk schedule to end the year

If the Cubs lose 4 more games, it probably won't matter anyway!

Actually need to lose 5 because the Cubs shockingly hold the tiebreaker

We hold all the tiebreakers that matter. Who needs it against Arizona, Miami, or Cincinnati?

[UMFan83]

Was just reading the Reds forum for fun and saw this. Sound familiar?

Anyways, I think FG has updated with the Reds game.  The Cubs were at about 33% this morning, at 48% now.

Diamondbacks 80.8%

Cubs 48.1%

Marlins 39.6%

Reds 29.8%

Giants 1.1%

Padres 0.6%

Yeah, their bullpen has been used a lot like ours. They've got 6 guys in the top 100 of MLB for appearances on the year, 4 in the top 50 (Cubs have 5 total)

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Rooting for the Padres and the Giants. Padres can max at 84. Giants at 85. But they play each other next week.

A 2-1 series goes to SD. Would mean they max at 83.

If everyone bombs it’d be nice to have our wins over them including in the tiebreakers if it’s a 3, 4, or 5 team tie. Super Long shot but you never know!!

[soccer10k]

That's almost as good of a day as possible. The only team we want to lose that didn't is Philly and we're 5 back of them so we're probably not catching them anyway.

Other than that, the DBacks, Marlins and Reds all lost, plus the Braves won while the Dodgers lost so Atlanta is up 5 now for the 1 seed.
