    Winning 2 of the next 3 mathematically eliminates the Phillies. I want to see us eliminate them head to head and in Philadelphia.

    We have a 0.2% chance to lose the division per Fangraphs, and if we blow it you guys can blame me. I already booked my plane/hotel to Atlanta for the playoffs. Unjinx.

    I'd rather imagine his numbers playing with non juiced players.

    MN=9, 10 lead over Nats
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    High Flight

    I hope everyone now realizes the importance of a well constructed gdt.

    It is ok to experiment with GDT construction to see which style and creators will make the post season cut.

    Anyone can get hot at the right time.

    As you know, you must ride the hot hand when it counts.

    It would be nice to clinch at home. For the players and fans. Good chance it happens during the last homestand against the fillies or Giants.

    True, but teams like the Dodgers and Yankees have gdt guys that can carry a team to victory. Do we have that caliber of poster?

    We certainly do- but with our payroll limitations we’ve had to be very careful during the rebuild.
    Getting away from Shanks was a big deal and we made the right acquisitions- just have to be careful bringing them along...
