Never in doubt.

Magic number is 2 to clinch a playoff spot

3 consecutive games without allowing a HR. That’s kind of crazy

I noticed the reliever are more intentional about not missing in the heart of the zone - especially with being ahead in the count

Alright now everyone erase that game from your memory so that we can go back to the ‘this team can’t hold a three run lead’ narrative tomorrow

Yes sir! Saw some good pitching today. The bullpen was being much more intentional about not hanging pitches over the heart of the zone.

Baby steps 😅

Looking ahead - our last three games are on the road at the Red Sox.   Their playoff fate will probably be locked in stone by that time.

Hey, what you know, no walk-a-poolaza, the better team beat a bad team.  Finally, for the first time in a month the Cubs win a Boyd start.  Didn't watch, appears he was good?  Palencia, with 3 K's, starting to get more swing and miss maybe, rounding into form?

It’s all but locked in now.  There’s 5-6 games in front and back of them for WC2.

I'm watching the Padres game and the announcers are talking about it being their 62nd sellout of the year.  Have the Cubs even had one?

[gflore34]

Watching Yankees-Diamondbacks, in between pitches, trying to figure out what the crowd behind the plate is drinking.  Appears to quite a bit of Bud Light, Hard Seltzers and water.  Last night thought I saw a few hazy or NE IPA's.

[gflore34]

Too bad Diamondbacks, walked it off, was enjoying them melting away.  Just prolongs the inevitable for a day or so.  

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

man, Mason Miller is so horsefeathers good. cheat code

[abuck1220]

it might benefit the cubs if the dbacks have something to play for the last series of the season 

[UMFan83]

So the Cubs can clinch a playoff spot tomorrow but can’t clinch it on the back of a victory unless there’s a rain delay or something that makes the Diamondbacks game end before the Cubs (and Arizona loses with a Cubs win)

I jinxed Miller, he gave up a homer in the 9th after getting two outs in the 8th.

I wonder why tomorrow's starter is still TBA, should be Peterson.
