He is so Jekyll & Hyde - but I like that he was Jekyll tonight

Need a few more runs

You got your insurance run.

It got me to stop cussing after JT didn't even advance the runner....

At least Marsh did something against his old team

Moniak is up 4th - if he bats, I will be covering my eyes

Love Kimbrel

Keep piling up wins against these Dead Teams Walking, so there's just a little September cushion and margin for error.
Still have to step up against the stronger teams, though.
Those September games will actually be good for getting them hardened for the October opposition

Big win coming off that dominant sweep over the weekend

Cubs losing
AZ vs Dodgers later

Probably need to go 15-16 (at most) the rest of the way to just make the playoffs and maybe not much more to get #1 WC seed

Brewers beating Cubs, which slightly raises chances we face Cubs in the Wild-Card series.

Reds-Giants play later
Diamondbacks have to play Dodgers but have their ace going

Reds just put a key player, McClain, on the IL and seem to be fading

Then again, I thought the same thing about AZ a few weeks ago.

Kind of funny how easy it is to envision a path to another best-of-5 Phillies-Braves NLDS.
Braves would be both motivated as hell and terrified of splitting the first two games and having to come to Philly.

Magic # = 26
28 for 1st WC
