Merrill has been playing a great CF and continues to hit while playing every day. For never playing center he makes every play look relatively easy. Skenes 1.99 ERA is so sick , I think sub 2 ERA is going to decide it.

Big win by the Dodgers today. We have to sweep the Dodgers to win the division in LA and we have owned them this year. Too much to ask probably. I’m fine with a Wild Card series at Petco knocking AZ or Mets out early.

Detroit Tigers is an amazing story and they have as good a chance as anybody in a wide open AL. Overall an amazing regular season with Judge and Soto, Ohtani, Skenes, Mets turn around, Braves fail, Astros being the Astros.

1Thyme San Diego Padres. This team has it all and the pitching stafff is healthy and rolling.


I only watch Brewers games when I have action on them but Jackson Chourio looks like a future star. BCR how confident are you in your team? My friend thinks Naylor and Clase(former Padres) are going to the WS
Not particularly confident. but hopeful given no one is very good. We haven't hit in months consistently. As good as the bullpen is, and Clase has had an all-time year, you need to get to them. I have undervalued them from spring training and still do. They are resilient and pretty much went wire to wire with a few days of being tied.

On the optimistic side, I haven't felt outclassed when going up against Balt or NY. But, NY is better. Gerrit Cole takes our lunch money like a bully. I am not sold on Balt pitching. We always struggle with Houston.

Once it was apparent they were going to win division, I have almost hoped they stay cold at the plate in a superstitious sense. No one can feel overly confident about their team this year, so who is going to get hot? Does Cle get hot for once at the right time? Be nice. If they can score at all, I would really like our chances. I am confidentt in the bullpen. I am confident in Clase if he has to face Soto and Judge both for the game. I am confident in Smith if you have a runner at 3rd with an out and need a K. Only place where we have true edge over field.
