Then we play shit teams for 9 of the final 11 games. This is so doable, but they need to hold the line here I'm amazed, considering how hard our remaining schedule is, how we've managed to slip into a spot where it's doable and we pretty much control our own destiny. And of course every win makes any future losses way more "affordable".

But maybe the sense of urgency will be better for them.

September 10, 20233 yr 3 weeks to go but feels to me like this next week is the most critical. If we're in a good spot next Sunday evening then I'll feel soooo much better about our chances.

The season ended 3 times in the game thread today.,

I think they have to take three out of four from the Brewers considering we have the Braves right after that. A split probably won't cut it, and losing the series may end up being a death blow. So far, they've been doing what they have to do by beating both the Dodgers and the Phillies. Yeah a sweep of Philly would have been nice, but can't really complain too much about taking two of three. They need to win five of the seven games against the Brewers and hopefully come up with sweeps in two out of the three series against the Mets and Pirates. That should leave them room if they lose the series against Atlanta. I think going 14-5 (maybe 13-6) over these last 19 games all but makes them a lock, and based on the way they have been playing lately, I think it's doable. Anything less than 13 wins and it probably gets dicey.
September 10, 20233 yr Each win now seems to get them closer to being that resilient first half team from a mentality aspect. They've gotta rebuild the confidence they had before that midseason slump.

They've gotta rebuild the confidence they had before that midseason slump. I think they've already done that by going 8-2 over their last 10 (and against some good teams, too). The confidence is back. It's just a matter of whether or not they have enough juice to finish this thing off, especially with both Sandy and Soler out. Edited September 10, 20233 yr by Valid

They just need to finish strong. 3 of 4 from Milwaukee would put us in the driver's seat.

Just gotta keep at least winning series, and hopefully have some sweeps, and let the rest fall as it will.
