GDT 9/25/24: Braves vs Mets - Sale for the Triple Crown

Staying up til midnight with a hurricane bearing down cheering for the 58 win marlins against the twins…..

Things I never thought I’d be doing for 1000, Alex
 
Welp, Padres are going to have nothing to play for @ Arizona. If we only take 2 of 3, then we’ll probably have to sweep the DH.
 
A twins loss tomorrow means no Ragans this weekend and likely a subpar lineup from the Royals on Saturday. 2 of 3 is absolutely necessary.
 
The twins have the Os coming in…. With a dead dog bullpen….

Sale and then Max…. And then by the time we get to the Charlie game, KC should be nice and hungover and mailing it in.

We’ve got a helluva shot ….

Fried is starting tomorrow. They are saving Sale for any elimination game or game 1 of the WC. It's a bold move.
 
We need to win 2/3 and then most likely sweep the Mets. If we sweep KC however, and Zona loses one, then we just have to win one.

Or, we sweep and NYM loses one, then we just have to win one.

If we sweep, and Arizona loses two - then we are in.

If we sweep and NYM loses two, then we still have to win one.

If we sweep and NYM or Zona or both also sweep, then we gotta win two on Monday.

If it were up to me, I’d go for sweeping the KC bastards. If we don’t, we gotta use Sale Monday - maybe. If we only need to win one, use Schwelley first and maybe just maybe we won’t need Sale for game two and he’s ready for WC game 1.

Seems to me, holding Sale back is ballsy as hell - it’s like “don’t use him unless we lose one,” but I’d like to not be in that position and give ourselves the best possible chance of the sweep and hope we get some help. We can beat SD with Fried and Lopez and if Sale pitches Saturday, he could go in game three …

Having to win a DH won’t be easy - even if it is Schwelley and Sale.

But if we can pull it off and get to Monday only needing one- and Schwelley locks ‘em down again… we are gonna look brilliant.

We rarely look brilliant…
 
DBacks are scuffling and face a Padres team that needs to win at least 1 game in order to maintain HFA in round 1. There's a decent chance we lock in our spot Sunday.
 
So bravesfanMatt, is KC up 3 games now, or is it "technically a 2 game lead"? LOL

well since they are up 3 and have to win by 1 game to win the division (3-1) they are up only 2 games technically. Let me know if any other difficult math problems come your way and I will assist you again.
