Bellinger

16.5 million for 48 hits.

Should get a Platinum Slugger award.

The nice thing about the Cards winning (there aren't many) is that it makes it more likely the Brewers clinch with a home win, which is the sweetest way to clinch.

MVPINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE the Padres discussion, also worth mentioning that, tonight notwithstanding, Darvish has been pretty awful since the new foreign substance restrictions came down. The delicious irony of that, of course, is that Darvish seemed to view himself as a brave upholder of baseball propriety not too long ago…

Atta boy Manny.

[DuWayne Steurer]

DIdn't pimp that as much as I would have liked.

[PinaMadness]

Karma for Contreras.

Oh darn.

[BruisedCrew]

Could use some add on here. Cubs will have the top of their order in the ninth.

That toe is going to be throbbing for a while.

We'll have Hader.

In a weird way, if the magic number is 2 or 1 heading into the 4-gamer with STL, does it behoove the Cards to lose game 1? I know it's not the Cardinals way, but have to figure they'd rather get face three Sunday-type lineups...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Was hoping they would clinch the division this weekend, but clinching it against the Cardinals would be a sweet consolation prize. I'm getting pretty sick of this Cardinal Devil Magic.

Brewers are home now for what, 7 more games? They better clinch at home.

[PinaMadness]

I reiterate, can Reyes play centerfield?

[markedman5]

Pablo contributing nicely

Yes, but playing the 2nd-place team means they have to win to clinch. If it were anyone else, you could clinch with a loss, which is a little awkward.

Nice baserunning hustle for Reyes there.

The Brewers have to work Adames, Taylor, and Garcia back in. Plus there’s a 28-man roster. Sunday lineups are harder to do.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nice piece of hitting by Reyes there. Doesn't try to lift the ball, just slaps it right down the line.
