9/23 - Rockies (Flexen) vs Cubs (Stroman): 1:20pm, Marquee

[CubinNY]

need the D-Back to come back to earth. 

[UMFan83]

If the Cubs go 4-3 the rest of the year, 2 of these 3 things need to happen to eliminate the Cubs:

Marlins 6-2 (or 5-2 if they win today)

Reds 6-1

Diamondbacks 4-4

[chibears55]

Clinched a 500 record, I hope they can find a way to win 4 more and get to 85 wins

[JHBulls]

Good fight back through the middle to late innings in that one. Really needed that win.

Luckily it looks like Houston not only will still be fighting for the division (TEX/SEA play 6 more against each other) but they might be playing for their playoff lives in that final series against Arizona. 

The White Sox are 5-15 in September so I don’t expect any help there.

At least IF the Brewers don’t come back they will play regulars tomorrow. They won’t have clinched the division. If they do win today I expect a lot of reserves tomorrow.

I could see the Yankees beating them. We will be lucky if the Sox win 1. But Houston shoukd need those games so that is good.

Big props to Ian Happ, that double in the 8th scores the runner more often than it doesn’t but he played it perfectly and prevented the runner from scoring

[UMFan83]

Brewers just tied it up at 4!

[UMFan83]

Marlins win on a wild pitch so the Cubs lead will stay at 1 game. Gotta win tomorrow and hope the Brewers win. Going into that last week gauntlet would be a lot better with a 2 game lead

[Rcal10]

Who would take 4-3 now for the last 7? Do Marlins go 5-2? I don’t think so. Mets and Pirates both over 500 at home. I also don’t think the Reds go 6-1. 

[UMFan83]

Cincinnati up 3-0 in the 1st. Long way to go but bad start. Thank God we pulled it out today

6-0 Reds now in the 2nd. Ok yeah we’re not getting help today

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Pittsburgh dangling some hope, cut it to 9-6 on the Reds after 6

[Derwood]

[Derwood]

[Derwood]

[Derwood]
