Phil’s also hold the tie breaker with both teams, which is nice. 

I think the brewers might collapse. You don’t trade someone like hader in a playoff race and have it go smoothly. I imagine a lot of guys in that locker room saw it and thought management is more worried about the future and money than winning this year. They made some minor moves but really i see guys on that having them wind knocked out of their sail. They might recover but right now they look deflated especially getting swept by the pirates and losing 4 straight 

Is tonight’s game on tv?

Silly me was thinking that since I live in the DC area, I would be able to watch the game on MASN. Nope.

I get MASN here in NC, which is fine.  Except when it’s not on.   BTW, those MASN announcers are terrible 

I agree. I couldn't stand FP Santangelo and was happy they canned him. This guy is just as bad though.

Yeah.  He was horrendous.  They now have Kevin Frandsen, who was with the Phillies.  And he sucks.  

Totally forgot Frandsen is the new guy. Yeah, no good. 

Anyone that thought Gibson would thrown perfect a game or no hitter was insane

Lmao cause of the stupid runner at second rule  in extras

 

Cards and brewers both won.  Ugh

Makes it worse is the Yankees were winning that cardinals game all night til the bottom of the 8th. 

Sixers level tampering lol 

Really no reason they shouldn’t be able to go at least 24-13 in this stretch. nationals and reds traded away their best players and are awful. pirates are a disaster along with Miami. Arizona and SF are tough due to being on the road and travel but even if you go 3-3 in that stretch should be able to go 21-10 in the rest

Oh really.  Insane?  😂  Oh. Ok. 

Borderline at least but not as insane as people that like this heat and humidity

A 32-24 finish would get them to 90 wins, which should be enough for 1 of the wildcard spots. That would be pretty amazing considering how this season started off. 

Corbin is horrendous 

What happened to Corbin? Holy crap. He still has 2 more years on his contract.

Got paid and really just never was the same. Had a bunch of innings the 3 years before he signed and he was slightly overrated as he’s only had 4 out of 10 with an ERA under 4

He had a really good first year with Washington but other than that, all downhill. I remember the Phillies were in on signing him but didn't want to guarantee a 6th year. It worked out for the Phillies in that regard although Corbin did win a ring so guess that's worth it.

Yeah we escaped that contract. Unfortunately we also signed arrieta who was basically on the decline when he came here. But at least it was only 3 years.  

Wow, that Sosa guy they traded for just made a great play.

If we can get to that Mets series next weekend on this roll then it’s going to be an incredible matchup and say a lot about where we are as compared to the Mets. The matchups are that of a potential playoff series.

game 1: Suarez vs. scherzer 

game 2: nola vs. degrom 

game 3: wheeler vs. bassitt 

I efen hate Knebel. I hope we never have to use him in the playoffs. Guy seems like a mental midget.

It was nice being up what we were cause the entire bullpen was bad/shakey tonight besides Alvarado (and even he had some issues at the start) against the nats who aren’t a good hitting team

I just hate that he's constantly trying to paint corners when he has a big lead instead of just throwing the ball over the plate and letting the batters make outs. It feels like he's constantly down 3-1 in the count and then forced to then throw the ball over the plate...which is what he should be doing on the first pitch.

Thanks for nothing Yankees.  Go reds and dodgers

Right? Did absolutely nothing tonight. I was hoping they take 2 of 3. Might not even win a game 

tbh i think the dodgers and mets are the two best teams in the NL with padres, Braves and Phillies behind them with a puncher’s chance. I actually think if degrom and scherzer stay healthy, it’s really hard to beat them if they hold you to 1-2 runs. Phillies have wheeler and nola that can match up but really since we have to play a 3 game series as a wild card before facing Mets or dodgers likely not getting the matchups we want.
