flavum Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Both teams play Tuesday-Sunday the final two weeks. Giants one game lead. Would host game 163. LA- 3 at Col, 3 at Arz, 3 vs SD, 3 vs Mil SF- 3 at SD, 3 at Col, 3 vs Arz, 3 vs SD Hope the opposition gives it their best. Should be good…and then everyone is a Cardinals fan on October 6th.

Going to guess that Milwaukee is on cruise control at this point. They are 5.5 back for the top seed, and 14 ahead for the 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milwaukee is 5.5 back of SF, and 4.5 back of LAD. That is a LOT of games to make up. It is more than the Sox have to make up for HFA with Houston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 So glad divisions championships mean a great deal, should be an incredible final two weeks. Next year, this could be pretty much meaningless. Some of these division/pennant races were as or more memorable than the World Series, and are recalled to this day. Historically, the National League had a three game tie-breaker and the American League a single game winner take all, which was consolidated when the separate league offices were combined under the Selig coup d'etat in 1999.

Rockies are 45-27 at home. They could mess things up for one or both, though I guess technically if they mess things up for both they really aren't messing things up.

NWINFan Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 It will be tough for one of these teams being a wild card with over 100 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll definitely be rooting for the Cardinals to beat the Dodgers, because they’re the champs and it potentially helps the Sox. If it’s the Giants in the wildcard, I’d rather see them make it, and have a LA-SF division series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think any wild card with over 100 wins should have HFA against a division winner with less wins. A team with over wins travelling to play a division winner is absurd. Regular season should mean something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m definitely in favor of no divisions/balanced schedule and let the seeds fall where they should, but this is the whole point of having divisions matter. If you don’t win, you’re a wildcard no matter what the record is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Yeah, I don't see how MIL isn't resting players that last series. Good for LAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raBBit Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 If I am Milwaukee I am not throwing Woodruff/Burnes/Peralta against the Dodgers in the last series. If anything 2-3 innings to keep the arm fresh but not giving the Dodgers hitters a look at what they may be seeing in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Dodgers were down to their last out. Won in 10. Giants and Padres 6-6 in the bottom of the 10th. Extra inning rule sucks, but nothing they can do now. Hopefully only 10 more days in its current form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 You have to be more confident of the Dodgers fending off the Cardinals in a one game do or die situation due to the strength of their starting pitching. Padres now get to play spoiler. Next manager (Bochy, Glenn Hoffman, Francona) yet to be determined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes to that, good for baseball, but I want the Dodgers gone as soon as possible. Hopefully the Cardinals knock them off next Wednesday.
