I fully agree with the house money concept. The Brewers do not need this game. I had it pegged as a loss in my own little "scenario to make the playoffs," so if they can win it would be a huge lift.
Wow, that's pretty nuts. Ennder is right. He was abused pretty bad in the first half of the season, so it's not shocking. I hope he's able to pitch again this season, but who knows. Awful news.
You play through injuries, but you aren't risking millions of dollars by doing so. At the same time, you do not have an organization protecting you from serious injury because it invested millions in you.
