I think the Cardinals losing means that the Cubs still make the WC game at the very worst, but don't care enough to fully look into the details. Pulling this out with Williams lined up for tomorrow would be quite nice.
The Cubs are totally screwed if they have to play in a WC game IMO. It's actually surprising that they are even in the position to win the division relative to their pitching... I guess having 7 or 8 very good hitters can cover for a lot. NL playoffs seem wide open. Besides Kershaw and maybe Buehler, who are the best NL pitchers? Freeland, then I guess Foltenewicz?
Just shows anything can happen in Ssptember. We passed the Phillies..Dbacks....etc. But NH gave up in August thinking we were out of it.
Guys like Justin Smoak were put on waivers. Josh Donaldson. Anything to give our offense a boost yet they did nothing
Wasted opportunity imo.
Our Pitching never budged...have been dominang since the ASB, except when they brought in someone who wasnt the normal starter or normal reliever. So cant say we would have folded under the pressure of being in a WC spot.
We just needed a bat or two to get the rest going. Like they are now.
Need to start next year off strong..and not look back. Dont even make it close..no wildcard.
Up to Nutting..does he want to fill the seats or not. NH needs to go to him and show him what the Brewers did.
