playoffs clinched. welcome to the post season friends.

From what I could find ... looks like the '82 team was +174.

I'm sure we will find out soon enough from the stat hounds ... but multiple 20 run shutouts in a season has to be a rarity.

Is it way too greedy to ask for a left-handed Chourio home run?

I can't wait for Sveum to rattle off some numbers in post and try to put a positive spin on this one...

Get May through 7 then Stallings for 2 and this is a perfect game.

same batting average as Turang.

Chourio hitting .000 left handed his year .. that is in jeopardy.

If the Reds use position players to close this one down ... it could get away from them.

20 stinkin' hits in the 5th inning.

I'm sure he is fine but Pete Crow kinda rocked that wall on his leap attempt.

I want 100 wins as much as the next guy because it would be really cool to check that box - BUT - I more so want the young starting staff to be feeling strong when we get to 162 so I wouldn't mind leaning on the 40man depth we are stashing in Nashville right now to cover as much of the next 5-6 games as we can after today. Sproat getting a long assignment and then being sent down for Gordon to do the same and then he be sent down for Stallings, Koenig, etc Use the extra arms while we can.

Yeah and I just took a peek at both remaining schedules to see who they play... and the Padres and DBacks close the season playing each other for 3, which is probably not great if we are trying to get both in.
