September 18, 20233 yr So how many games do we all think need to be won to get this done? I think a sweep this week would really help.

September 18, 20233 yr I think 8-4 gets this done. 7-5 may as well. The Cubs fucking up really opened up a lot of opportunities. I think they'll fade, as SF will continue to as well.
September 18, 20233 yr Yea 7-8 wins sure doesn't seem impossible. Would love to start this week out strong and not have to need so much next week.
September 18, 20233 yr Also Cincinnati will be important these next three games. Their schedule gets very very easy after this last series against the Twins. A sweep may bury them. Anything but that and that probably stick around
September 18, 20233 yr Author Fish have 10th easiest schedule going forward fwiw. Still gotta win those games tho

The Giants need lose at least 5 more games to tie the Marlins in that stat, in which case since they’d finish at best 83-79 and do out of the wild card race.

I remember Mish posting on Twitter that he would be shocked if the Cubs don't go through that similar stretch of game and be in a significantly better position (they had it much easier). He predicted it would be Phillies, Cubs, Giants. He's probably going to be wrong. We fucking killed it

Marlins are in with 85 wins even if, for instance, these are the other records down the stretch: - Cubs 7-5 (6 of 12 games against Braves and Brewers) - Dbacks 7-4 (Astros, Yankees, and 2 with the Giants, who will still be alive at the time) - Reds 7-4 (admittedly a pretty easy schedule outside of 3 with Minnesota) - Giants play the Dodgers 7x, Padres 3x, and Dbacks 2x. I consider them done. Make it Cubs 6-6, Reds 6-5, and Dbacks 7-4, and the Marlins are in with 84 wins, ie a 6-6 record in the remaining 12 games. It’s titillating that they control their own destiny this late in the season.

Lmaooooo And the Braves remain in the #1 spot like last week because they clinched this past week but let's not talk about them just getting swept lmao you can't make this shit up I saw the same thing and was like huh?? Only the Marlins can move up in the standings, and down on the rankings lol. The Athletic's rankings usually have us higher than MLB. --- It's definitely exciting though! Let's hope they can continue playing well and close it out!

September 19, 20233 yr In this crucial moment I won't say they can't win all games and I would say they need to find ways to win every game.
September 19, 20233 yr We were talking here yesterday about 7-5, 8-4, etc. now all of the sudden some are acting like they needed to be 12-0. the loss stung but it’s just one game If they lose again today, I'll start to get concerned.

The problem is we've seen this all season. Massive blowouts, followed by a string of games where they can't hit a thing. It's usually a string of games, and we can't afford that now. There's no making up for a slump right now. Couple that the fact that we just had a slump against Milwaukee and it's starting to feel like Atlanta was just severely hung over... especially since the Phillies just destroyed them yesterday too. The huge fear is that this team is closer to the one that played Milwaukee than the one that played Atlanta. And now we have to go 7-4 or 8-3 Edited September 19, 20233 yr by Entendu
