That win today was of serious importantance. As all are, but to take that series from a team that we’ll be battling for a playoff spot is huge.

6-2 Pads in the 8th, Philly making a little push.
6-3, runner on 2nd.
6-3, bottom 8th.
They've been a .500 ball club all season. But optimistically, they just traded away 2 of their best starting pitchers, 2 of their better relievers, and Ramos was arguably their best hitter for most of the year. Glasnow seems like he's been rejuvenated there, but it's only been 2 starts. It's unlikely we see both Glasnow and Snell anyways with the way their rotation is currently set up, and the rest of their rotation is garbage.
Are we still breaking the schedule up into groups of a few games as if predictions or results over such small samples mean anything?
The Braves have 47 games to go, and likely need to win 25+ of them to win the division.
The Phillies have a remaining schedule almost identically tough as the Braves. It will likely come down to the final 7 games they play against each other Sept 20-30.

BTW 8-3 Padres, one out bottom of the 8th. Looking good right now.
Padres running wild on the bases this game much like the Brewers did in Milwaukee against us.

I hope not, I hope we have a nice lead by then as once they add Ramos at catcher and Bour vs us I think they could take us this time. But if we go into with a few game lead on them I'll like our chances as I do think it would be a close series and probably only gain a game or two whomever wins the most.
9-3 Padres
hopefully both philly and gnats lose tonight
First place.
