An impressive win and an important one in my mind, if one can be so in August.  

So far the biggest win of the season is the first game of the dodgers last week

i actually think that gave the team a sigh of relief.

I'm not wanting to go through the game thread so I apologize if this has been said already... but barring crazy things that just about locks up the Cy Young for Miz.

I'm not taking for granted that we have the best pitcher in baseball putting together one of the best pitching seasons of all time.

Great baseball game. Probably the first game this season that absolutely felt like a playoff game.

At the very least it gave some of us fans a sigh of relief.

Maybe half a dozen or so starts left for him & a lot can happen, but you certainly have to favor him if going by the "if the season ended today" argument. Despite a day when he didn't have his most dominant FB he still goes 6 shutout vs a team that can certainly score runs. When you think about how some of his secondary stuff has evolved------we may have seen a watershed moment in his development last week when he wiped out Ohtani & Freeman w/the bases loaded, and NOT with the FB.

Hopefully NO Brewer fans are taking his work for granted. You can be a fan for a team for many years & never have someone like this to pull for.

One final blurb re Senzatela--I'll take a page out of @liveforoctober's book & say that I don't know if this was touched on earlier. Although the leadoff walk in the 8th was a no-no, he hasn't walked a ton of hitters this season & I still have more good than bad feelings re the guy. I thought Atlanta's hitters had a terrific approach vs him to generate the run, and yet if not for the errant throw from Turang they likely don't score.

But you certainly can't walk Yaz to start things.
