This weekend could turn the tide but the Cubs have been playing some pretty bad baseball lately. I was looking more at the last 6 games of the season actually. The Braves are just damn good and I am sure the Brewers would love to eliminate the Cubs. The Cubs have to be a game better than Miami with no game 163.
With no game 163 anymore, Miami has the tiebreaker over the Cubs so I would think Miami has the advantage looking at those schedules. Reds could also go on a crazy streak like they have earlier in the season.
Went for a walk after the Yoan homer....got the 4-2 score announcement on my phone and wondered if Bummer had been in....checked the box score and saw yep he was.
Turned it on in the top of the 9th to see Grandal's bat drop that died at the warning track. Went to post about that but couldn't so had to start a gamethread.
