I have a feeling somewhere the next two days (if Monday is needed) a starter might see an appearance not starting. We are burning these guys badly the last two days, but who knows. Peralta probably sees time tomorrow.
That throw by Braun wasn’t bad at all though. Fast runner, pretty deep...a perfect throw would have actually got him. Hard to ask for that too often though, not very easy of a task.
Has Yelich given the team life tonight? Guy is a total leader this year and down the stretch. I don’t think the leadership Yelich/Cain have brought should be under appreciated. I think it is the reason we have won way more games than our talent levels wings at.
I’m not saying the Cubs will win on forfeit. But there is no denying the Cardinals would probably be a lot more competitive if they had something to play for. Big key...Cubs still have to execute. Their pitching will be the key.
I have to drive a total of 11+ hours round trip to make NLDS Home Game #1 if it happens on Thursday instead of Sunday. I really friggen hope I have that problem.
If I was a betting man, we won tonight, and the Cardinals have something to play for tomorrow...I’d bet on us semi confidently. Hopefully we can win along with the Giants. What a crazy day it would be tomorrow.
Time to become massive Dodger fans for a day so the Cardinals are still fighting tomorrow. Wouldnbe highly not beneficial if they play the Cubs with no motivation.
