Reds lose to Pittsburgh after leading 9-0.
Giants and Padres also lose.
Marlins travel to New York and Pittsburgh after today. Pirates have been pesky.
Unusual to pitch Tellez but I think CC did the right thing. We have 216 more outs to get before the postseason.
I especially worry about Payamps’ workload this year.
Could Caratini be emergency 1B if Santana got hurt? I’m having difficulty identifying a scenario where Tellez makes sense.
If an injury to Santana is serious, then Tellez is a roster replacement.
Best I can tell, Jesus Luzardo would be on full rest today. His last start against Milwaukee did not go well for the Marlins.
I did not realize that 37-year old, Johnny Cueto, is also a Marlin and sometimes spot starts.
The Cubs are on the losing end of tiebreakers against the D-backs, Reds, Marlins and Phillies, giving all of those teams the advantage if they were to finish the season in a tie with Chicago.

Brewers have 65 losses and Dodgers have 57 losses.
If Dodgers go 4-10 and Brewers go 12-1 down the stretch then Milwaukee overtakes Los Angeles. Dodgers own tiebreaker based on head-to-head record.
It’s possible 🤷♂️
No doom and gloom 🙂
Just a different timeframe for head-to-head matchups between Milwaukee and Saint Louis.
Should be a fun game going against Wainwright. I hope Brewers can wrap up division soon so our 34-37 year olds can get a few off days before playoffs.
This week:
Cubs host Pirates and Rockies
Reds host the Twins and Pirates
Giants travel to Arizona and Los Angeles
Marlins host the Mets and Brewers
This doesn’t seem like the week for Giants to gain in the standings
Got my personal best of 70 rarity score today.
I am kicking myself because I thought Casey Kotchman was an Angel and Indian but didn’t have the courage to choose him.
