Official NL Wildcard watch. 2023

[krazy2k]

The Cubs and Marlins won today. Reds up 9-1 in the 4th. Oh, boy!

Reds blew that big lead and lost 13-12 to the Pie-Rats. That helps a bit. Dbacks still need to take care of their own business the rest of the way.

I'm late to the party here but t want the Dbacks to pull it out.....

Carry on.....

Cubs fans have seen it before, and worse. Good for us.

I get that 78% is mathematically correct, but it just doesn't feel that way. We need to win every day.

 

[Dback Jon]

With the win, new Magic Numbers to clinch the 3rd Spot:

Cubs - 3 (we own the tie-breaker)
Marlins - 4
Reds - 2

Giants/Padres - eliminated from overtaking the Dbacks

Giants are completely eliminated, Padres have to win out, have Reds/Marlins/Cubs lose out.

 

[Lefty]

Let's Go Mets!

 

[Dback Jon]

Mets win first game of Double-header

Cubs - 3 (we own the tie-breaker)
Marlins - 3
Reds - 2

 

[Lefty]

Reds down 4-0 in the top of the 5th.

Let's Go Mets!

You're a monster!!

Would we rather play Philly or Milwaukee in the first round? Would we rather play LA or Atlanta in second round?

Would we rather play Philly or Milwaukee in the first round?

Great question - one that I have been considering.

We were 3-4 vs Philly, 4-2 vs Milwaukee, all games in the first half of the season

If you have a 2 game lead, with only 4 games left, how is it 7 or 8? That implies they need to win out and the other teams lose out, right?

I would rather play Milwaukee and Atlanta. But that's just my opinion. Either way, if we want to be the best we have to beat the best.
