From what I read they only play those games if there is an in-or-out proposition, and not for seeding. Seeding would be determined by their W-L record with the 58 games played.Originally Posted by thewupk

Milwaukee has their backs against the wall. By the end of the night they will either be on the brink of elimination or in the thick of things. Giants also have a double dip today and have less margin of error since all they get is a wild card spot. Buckle up boys!

Red start a 3 game series tonight in Minnesota as well...the Reds are right behind the Cardinals and the Twins are just ahead of the White Sox.
Get off my lawn!
They won game 1. **** is tightening up.
Brewers down 3-0 right now in game 2.
Phillies tied in the 8th and the Marlins are beating the Yankees late as well.
Giants about to take game 1 of their double header as well.
Marlins have secured second place in the division I believe. Nonetheless they have punched a ticket to the postseason.
I think its safe to say the Phillies have phailed in their rebuild
I guess they should have spent more “stupid money” than they did...
The faillies aren’t dead yet. You guys are going to upset the freaking baseball gods again and they are going to go on a run to win it all. Like all that sand flea death blow last year. We all know the baseball gods like to torment Braves fans and you guys are asking for it.
Coppy
Zero chance they win it all, and slimmer chance they get in. You need a good bullpen in October, and the Phillies bullpen is horrible. They're also playing the Rays this weekend, they are done. Also what the Nats did last year was a once in a blue moon kinda thing. Rarely if ever would happen again.
Phillies rebuild has been horrible. Mainly because they've failed to develop anyone on the farm, and it's why they have to use free agency to build their team which is always a risky proposition.
We really need the Reds to lose today and the Giants to win.
I believe our offense will score against anyone
But I’m starting to believe the Reds are the next best team behind the Dodgers and Braves and they are playing the best baseball they have all year.
I really don’t want to face that SP in round 1.

Yeah, Castillo/Bauer/Gray is a scary ass pitching trio. Even as good as our offense has been, good pitching always beats good hitting. And with our rotation being shaky or mainly just young/inexperienced, cant afford to get down early vs that rotation. If the Reds win and Cards lose tonight, i think the Reds would jump the Cards. Or even if Reds lose and Cards lose, Reds would jump them i believe.
Ideally, the Reds end up fifth or eighth—but with the Giants blowing game-two last night, the former seems likelier than the latter. So the Marlins and Cardinals dropping the next two, and the Reds winning out, is probably the best-case scenario now.

Marlins not helping the cause: up 3-0 already over the Yankees. Bottom half of the AL bracket is playing pretty embarrassingly down the stretch.
That fifth-seed might not be as scary as it seemed a week ago, if the Padres have indeed lost both Clevinger and Lamet for the first-round.

deathblow
They've developed some guys, but they have moved a number of them in trades. Klentak seems to run the team like a ten-year-old looking at the back of baseball cards.
Hoskins has been pretty solid for them. And Nola has been great obviously. But outside of that, they failed to develop Kingery who was a top prospect and they already signed long term. Their pitching prospects like Pivetta, Eflin and Velazquez haven't been good. Sixto of course they traded. Bohm is looking really good. Moniak turning into a bust as the #1 pick really hurt.
Cleveland has played themselves into a first round series against the Yankees. I’d much rather be the 7 seed and take on either Oakland or Minnesota like the White Sox draw might be.
The 1/8 is set with Tampa and Toronto clashing.
Houston is locked in as the 6 seed.
Not players they got from trade. Nola, Hoskins, Bohm, Haseley, Kingery?, Howard tbd?. It's a short, short, short list. So 6 players?
