Diamondbacks are starting their best starter (2.87 ERA) against a Rockies pitcher with an ERA over 6.00 for the year, so we need to take care of business. -
The weather is looking really iffy as early as tomorrow in Boston. Looks like Game 1 might be played but game 2 looks rough and game 3 on Saturday looks nearly impossible. Apparently MLB is talking about contingencies like playing in Tampa
-
If the Cubs win and Phillies lose, Arizona can still lose today and still be alive, I believe their elimination number is 2. But yeah Arizona winning and being 2 GB the Phillies with 3 left would certainly be more ideal for them playing hard well into the weekend.
-
I'm guessing since Murray is an IF it means they think Taylor's injury (if thats the reason why) is short term. They would send down Arias who everyone forgets is even on this roster, and Murray would be a PH option these final 4 games.
-
Not sure exactly how it works out to be honest but it's close between all the seeds. All 3 teams are playing against opponents who are either in the playoffs (Boston, Tampa Bay) or still have a shot at the playoffs currently (Arizona). I guess the difference is the Phillies and San Diego play their final series at home. I doubt this model is taking into account the unique circumstances of the Cubs series either.
-
BJ Murray was seen arriving to Wrigley with his bags. I wonder it Taylor is going on the IL. If you go on the IL and your return date is during a playoff series, can you still be activated? Because he last played on Saturday, making his earliest return date Game 2 of the WC series.
-
I'm sure it's half percentages that round up. like 4.5% chance of missing the playoffs and 2.5% chance of the 5 seed or something like that.
-
Athletic did a seeding projection based on how the Cubs finish the season. The most likely outcome at this point is the 6 seed
-
At this point I'm open to tanking for Atlanta. Obviously the Cubs need to clinch a postseason spot but after that I'd rather not burn out our pitchers in a grueling 3 games in 24 hours scenario this weekend and now that we don't control our WC1 destiny I'm ok with avoiding going to SD or Philly and avoiding the Brewers until a potential NLCS
-
You know Aaron Glenn wants to win that Ben Johnson matchup. Short week too.
-
I dont know why I do this...watching an annoying as hell Cubs game and then still stick around to watch more teams disappoint me. Looks like the Cubs might be losing control of their destiny for HFA in the WC round. If we're confident that the Cubs aren't going to lose their last 4 games while the Diamondbacks win their last 4 games, it almost makes sense to root for Arizona to stay in it as long as possible to try to give the Padres a couple of losses this weekend.
-
And then Ohtani swung at ball four and fouled it off and then struck out swinging. Still 2-1 smh
-
Here is how many chances the Cubs had to make the playoffs coming into Tuesday (potential Cubs wins and potential Diamondbacks losses), and how many they have left after today:
-
Padres up 2-0. Diamondbacks have won.
-
Can’t believe the winning run was scored on an overturned out at 2B that looked extremely close
-
Alcantara is literally leading the majors in innings pitched this year and they are randomly bringing him in to close out games after they’re already eliminated. Meanwhile Ben Brown gets a mysterious neck injury 2 years in a row to end his season, Steele misses 2 years with TJS, Horton misses basically the entire season etc etc
-
Tomorrow will be the 5th consecutive day that the Cubs wake up with a magic number of 1
-
Cubs will officially finish with less wins than last year
-
Did I hear right that the Marlins are bringing Sandy Alcantara in to close this game? horsefeathers off Marlins
-
Yep, if the Padres enter the final series tied with the Cubs, there is no way for both teams to pass the Cubs. Go Dodgers!
-
If the Padres lose the next 2 nights and the Cubs lose tonight and tomorrow, do the Cubs clinch the playoffs? they’d be tied with the Padres and 2 GA of the Diamondbacks with 3 to play. The Diamondbacks would need to sweep the Padres to have a shot (with a Cubs 0-3 trip to Boston) but if they swept the Padres, SD would remain tied with the Cubs and thus lose the tiebreaker and be out
-
Wow did Webb forget to give up a 2 run HR?
-
The vibes just feel really bad right now for a team with a magic number of 1 with 4 games left after today.
-
The 5 lowest xBA hits today have been hit by the Marlins
-
Great 1 for us 40 for them
