    I can't but feel they are taking these games as stat padders

    Werth homers off Wainwright, a two run shot gives the Nats an early 2-0 lead.

    and that is why we are going to struggle to go on a run in the playoffs. 2nd and 3rd with one out and we strike out back to back.

    Yeah like WTF. I don't think any of the pitches they swung at were strikes, after he walked the first two guys in the inning.

    I'd probably give all three a day off tomorrow, at least CJ and Simmons.

    Minor has not been good lately.

    I'd be tempted to use Minor as the lefty in the pen during the NLDS instead of Wood and have Wood start.

    You can tell their hitters to a man are coming to the plate wanting to hit the ball the other way. They have a great scouting report on Minor and are up there with a purpose in mind. And the Brewers are a team playing for nothing.

    Our hitters are just up there marking time. And we're fighting for homefield advantage and to get ready for the playoffs.

    Feels like that's get said about everyone but Freeman and Simmons lately doesn't it?

    Minor hasn't been as sharp but not terrible. His ERA has been a little high this month at 4.26. We look a little hung over as a team today which is probably to be expected with the celebration yesterday. Need to start clicking as a team going into next week.

    Tempted maybe, but you can't do it, not with him winning 13 games and anchoring the rotation all year.

    Yeah, when Heyward went down this team kind of shut down. Now they're having trouble getting it started again. It's worrisome.

    Agreed, you don't put him in the bullpen. He's a valuable starter even with a "so-so" September.

    Well Joe and Chip just said Maholm or Freddy would be the 4th starter in the NLDS...

    It should be Wood.

    Good news is, Medlen is scheduled to pitch this weekend so he could pitch Game 1 on regular rest. Medlen has earned it as he's clearly been the hottest pitcher the last few weeks.

    Everyone has a so-so month, if Minor goes one more inning and no more runs. That's another quality start against a team that hits lefties well. This seems to me more overreaction by some huge Medlen fans that have never given Minor enough credit.

    We are what we are. We strike out a lot, steaky hitting, rely on the homerun ball, and have some injuries in the pitching department. That said we've managed to win the division and we are in position to finish with the best record in the NL. All you can do is hope that things start clicking this week and we play well next week.

    Agreed, that was my point above is that he hasn't been as sharp this month but hardly terrible.
