Craig Edwards

8:42

To add to Dan's point on Flaherty, remember that both Flaherty starts are on the road.

Vinny A.

8:42

Craig, are the Cardinals gonna have enough offense to compete with the Braves?

Quadrangular

8:44

How under-the-radar is this St. Louis bullpen? Are we saying Giovanny Gallegos isn't a household name yet??

Craig Edwards

8:44

It is a pretty even series, so they just need a couple guys in the middle of the order to have a good few games.

Dan Szymborski

8:44

I won't complain about players that made me look smart this year

Tony Wolfe

8:45

hey! a fly ball that looked good off the bat that didn't go out!

Dan Szymborski

8:45

Big moment for F.H. Furr Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning

Craig Edwards

8:45

Gallegos hasn't been quite as sharp the last couple of months. Could be the long season wearing on him. Rest might help him.

Fire Adam Gase

8:45

If the NY Mets fire Callaway, their next manager is:

Tony Wolfe

8:45

Carlos Beltran

Dan Szymborski

8:45

The worst option they interview

Tony Wolfe

8:45

Just kidding someone way less exciting

Dan Szymborski

8:46

come on, Lloyd McClendon!

Tony Wolfe

8:46

Joe Riggleman!

Daniel J

8:47

Speaking of the cardinals bullpen, why leave Gant out? Is Cabrera really a viable option?

Dan Szymborski

8:49

Maybe the Mets can bring back someone hwo managed in the 80s.

8:50

Bucky Dent is only a couple years older than Joe Maddon.

Craig Edwards

8:50

Gant hasn't been great lately after a really good start to the season. He might just be worn out. Cabrera throws hard and can soak up innings in a blowout which isn't on their roster elsewhere. He's had a solid September and the Braves have a bunch of lefties.

Lunar verLander

8:50

Introducing the new manager for the Mets: Clint Hurdle

Sans Yellich

8:51

How far can the Brewers go this postseason

Dan Szymborski

8:51

Maybe Bud Black can half-manage both the Rockies and the Mets. Both teams are better off with only 81 games of Black than 162!

Stuafoo

8:51

Are we just naming former Mariners managers now?

Eric Gregg

8:51

Bamburger

Dan Szymborski

8:51

Bambi died a whiel back, no?

lee

8:51

I think the Dodgers would probably eat the Brewers, but the idea of Grandal's Revenge (not a type of food poisoning?) scares me

Craig Edwards

8:51

They are in it, so they can go all the way, but they still have to win this one and be underdogs for every series from here on out.

Tony Wolfe

8:52

Eric Wedge!

Phil

8:53

Pinch hit for Scherzer in the 3rd?

Craig Edwards

8:53

He's batting second, so I'm guessing no, no matter what happens with Robles.

Dan Szymborski

8:53

It's kinda weird how old Joe Maddon is. Earl Weaver was retired for a decade before he was Maddon's age. Danny Darwin is younger.

Hot take

8:53

Eric Thames is baseball's Carmen San Diego

Craig Edwards

8:54

I don't think Eric Thames is a world famous criminal.

Dan Szymborski

8:54

8:55

Isn't the best criminal the one nobody knows is a criminal? You think a pro like Eric Thames brags about the time he stole the Brandenburg Gate or the Mona Lisa?

Stuafoo

8:55

Bob Melvin! Wait, we fired him and he’s actually really good it seems.

Guest

8:55

@jonallendc
The Nationals keep saving the best player they ever drafted — Stephen Strasburg — for some future playoff run.

Craig Edwards

8:55

Wouldn't be the first time.

to be fair, going with scherzer is defensible.

lee

8:56

Edwin Jackson is Carmen San Diego in disguise

Craig Edwards

8:56

Why would you impersonate a known criminal? Seems dangerous?
