100 on the inside corner against the pitcher. That is definitely a no mercy sweep the leg move.

I've generally hated the fake confidence of any of the playoff BCS approaches, and appreciate the regional nature of college sports. We already have a pro league that is built to crown a champion. Giving a lot of people other things to play for and care about is way more interesting then trying to do a lesser version of the NFL.

Sanchez has been good enough that should be in blue, but with the 3 batter rule there might actually be situations where fewer runs might be better.
-
Also sit down Hader

Might be his most clutch hit of the season (JBJ)
-
I think it's reasonable to figure that if Stearns had comfortably assumed that Taylor could put up a .750 (or heck, even a .700 - .725 OPS) for 200 - 300 AB's as the 4th OF, the JBJ signing would be completely moot. I just don't think they were 100% sure of what they had with Taylor, and with Old Man Cain coming off a dead season, they didn't feel comfortable (rightly so) counting on him to play more than 80 - 100 - 120 games. I agree completely. I would add that if MLB did end up with a salary floor though JBJ would actually have quite a bit of value to certain teams. Either he's done and you get the benefit of tanking while spending a bunch of your money (and I'd rather try and develop pitchers with some defense). Or he bounces back with some of that offense and becomes tradeable at the next deadline.

I don't mind the JBJ profile as a 5th OFer, but I think part of the disconnect in terms of all his value being on defense is that both Taylor (when healthy) and Cain are also pretty good defender, so it's a very modest benefit to swap out one of them defensively and a clear minus offensively.

I swear I was thinking Wong could score before the Nats reacted.
-
They gave themselves an entire year of buzz and marketing. And have pretty much killed it. Burton is the only correct choice, but I might be biased.
-
I'm wondering if the Brewers might actually try and snag a player or 2 at some levels next year. So many very young prospects plus the glut of available players?
-
Perhaps Woodruff pitches to the score too much
-
Having the big 9.5 game lead makes this an even easier decision. No rush other reasonable options to try and fill in for a start. And still a good month after the IL stint to make sure your fine tuned and ready to go for the playoffs.
-
LA can't be terribly excited about any wildcard game at all, but Cincy is really unexciting. For 1 game they have to have they kind find enough pitching and just hope one of their big bats has a great game.
-
Gameball to Omar for saying enough was enough and getting tossed in the 9th.
-
Yelich showing how to run the bases
-
I'm not one to pounce on a guy, but what a lazy stroll home for JBJ Yelich giving up pride for the RBI!
-
In fairness to Adames that only bounced in the dirt and not the grass so it might have been a strike.
-
The classic strike in the opposite batter's box
-
I spent most of my adult life wondering what it would be like to root for a team that had great pitching. It is even more fun than I imagined.
-
What a power swing
-
Another way to look at the Brewers remaining schedule. If they maintain their current lead against the Cards, they are probably done playing any team with a reason to play on September 8th. The Cards would be done mathematically then by September 20th and only the Mets might still be alive for something with 6 games to go, but they could easily be out of it by then too.

I don't want to say the Padres are in trouble, but losing 3 in a row against the D-backs is rough and might be keeping the Reds from an insane amount of frustration since they have been playing quite well and haven't gotten anywhere against the Brewers. Unsurprisingly playing in the West the Padres remaining schedule looks pretty tough 4 games left against Arizona, 3 against the Rockies (but on the road), but everything else practically is playoff teams or teams still battling. The more I look at it, the more I like the Reds chances to snag that spot.
