Yeah definitely. Right now if the Cardinals lose they will be percentage points ahead of the Marlins. Though if you feel dirty rooting for the Cardinals, you can just root for the Reds, though they are losing too right now Do we know who has the tiebreaker between the Reds and Marlins? Twins would clinch the division today if they win so they’d have nothing to play for tomorrow. Giants could still get to 31-29 also since the Pads have nothing to play for.

Kipnis was way worse than Javy. Javy was just trying to make a play and was caught between two choices.
-
Well, at least the Cards are losing.
-
Jon gets the benefit of one of Angel’s patented 2 inches off the plate strikes!
-
The could be out of this if they just caught the pop up to start the inning. Javy would have just gone straight to first there.

DONG

That was so unlucky. If that ball is an inch or so lower, it glances off the glove and everyone is safe.
-
So if the Brewers beat the Cards the next two days, the Phillies beat the Rays twice and the Giants split with the Padres, then the Cards split with Detroit, who gets in? They’d all be 30-30. Could be even crazier if Miami loses tomorrow and Cincy loses twice. Even though they’d both be in, it would muddle up 2nd and 3rd.

Add another one to that video because strike 3 to Heyward was a ball.
-
If he wants to give Lester that zone tonight I won’t complain.
-
Not that it changes the tiebreaker winners but the Twins and White Sox split the season series. So Twins would be 12-8 in the 3 way tiebreaker.

Posted this in the game thread from a couple days ago but I’ll repost here. Key point: This was prior to yesterday when the Cubs were 32-24 and the Cards were 27-26.
-
It is because the Cards have the tiebreaker over us. Cards win out with the DH they get to 33. Cubs lose out after today and they get to 33 also. ETA: I posted something the other day from a Cards beat writer saying they would make up the game for the division because it would change home field.
-
Was hoping they’d get a couple more so they wouldn’t have to use both of those guys in the first game.

on monday you'll somehow be baffled this happened again Dude, do you just watch the Cubs in order to be miserable and negative? Following sports is supposed to be a fun hobby. Why not spend all of those hours with friends or loved ones? The 2018 Brewers broke him.

I assume it's tiebreaker related but according to Fangraphs, the Cards have a better chance of finishing 1st and 2nd in the division than the Reds do but a worse chance of making the playoffs (87.7 for the Reds and 86.7 for the Cards). I don't think Fangraphs has the tiebreakers set up properly though. They list Cincy at 0.1 to win the division but that's not possible. Best they can do is tie the Cubs and the Cubs would win a H2H tiebreaker with them and Cincy went 4-6 against St. Louis also so they'd lose a 3-way tiebreaker as well. Plus Cincy plays the Twins so it's not like they're favored to win 2 or 3 games this weekend.

What did he do? bases loaded and 2 outs in the 7th, protecting a 3-run lead. he bought in rodon, who just came off the IL and hadn't pitched in nearly 2 months. also he hadn't made a relief appearance since 2015. it went poorly. now they're going to blow their division if the cubs somehow win a game or 2 this weekend. That division is pretty nuts. Cleveland was dead a week ago but now they have an outside shot at the division, and a decent shot at 2nd place. Twins play the Reds while the Indians get the Pirates. Twins would have the three way tiebreaker but Cleveland would win a H2H against the Sox if they were to tie. And there's a good chance the 1st and 3rd place teams in the division play each other in the WC round also.

What did he do?

So this article says that the DH would be played if it’s for the division also, which makes sense because the reasoning for the Cards playing it if they could catch the Pads was for home field. So magic number is still 3 since the Cards have the tiebreaker over us. oh fun, now they're relying on the brewers and the tigers Why are we so scared of the Cards? I get that the Cubs are crap but every time the Cards win a game or two, there's this "here come the Cards" sentiment. And obviously they could win 6 or 7 straight or run off a 6-1 stretch. After all, the Cubs had a 9-1 stretch. But the Brewers are basically the same as the Cards. Milwaukee just took 3 of 5 from the Cards a week and a half ago. The Cards also already split a DH against Detroit this month and lost 2 of 3 to the Royals. They're mediocre. They'll probably split tomorrow and split the games Sat and Sun. And if the Cubs can't win a game against the WS, the Cards would still have to sweep Detroit. Their longest win streak is 4 games and their best 7 game stretch is 5-2. And at least through tomorrow, and probably Saturday, the Brewers will still have something to play for. Even if they get swept tomorrow, 29-31 could make the playoffs (I don't know if they would hold the tiebreakers over Cincy/Mia/Phi/SF). Detroit obviously wouldn't though.

Wouldn’t the Cards have the tiebreaker on winning percentage? Cubs go 33-27 (.550) so the Cards would tie at 32-26 (.552). that would mean the cubs go 1-3 the rest of the way and the cardinals go 5-0. in that scenario, only 1 game (though sunday) goes their way, which is why 2 is basically the number So this article says that the DH would be played if it’s for the division also, which makes sense because the reasoning for the Cards playing it if they could catch the Pads was for home field. So magic number is still 3 since the Cards have the tiebreaker over us.

Now this would be a good time to give Chafin an inning.
-
Home field in the first round matters a bit.
-
LOL Cubs.
