Too damn stressful with Luke closing.


Good news is he threw 28 tonight so shouldn’t pitch tomorrow

Thank God, but can we please take Luke Jackson out of the closer role?

Middle relief? I like him a lot, but he's not a closer. I really think he needs McCann out there to keep him calm with the game on the line.

Thank God!

We need BP help, we will get swept in the NLDS if we don't fix the BP

We actually have 3rd best bullpen ERA but we do need a better option for closer.

Another Series Win....but AA, GO GET WILL SMITH!!

San Diego needs to fall back quite a bit more before trade deadline to start selling off as only 2.5 back right now in wild card. Also don’t know if would trade Smith and price could be high

Hopefully we win by 10 and don't need a save.

One thing that makes me nervous is we've been winning a lot of games since the first of June, but we play a shit ton of close games, and we're outpacing our pythag by 3 or 4 games.

then they tried to mask the problem by spending big money this past off-season
Another thing is because they didn’t go all in with the rebuild now they don’t have the pieces to acquire players at the deadline. So they are pretty much stuck with what they got

They kinda blew their load when it comes to prospects when they traded for Segura and Realmuto.

Yates technically gets credit for a blown save even though the run was charged to the pitcher that walked Donaldson.

Kinda cool. That's just his second blown save of the season.

Today will be our last game in the Pacific Time Zone for the season. That makeup game against the Rockies is the only game we have remaining in the Mountain Time Zone.

10-5 on the road against the NL West so far this season.

We have the easiest remaining schedule of all the teams in the NL East. Nats have the second toughest(only behind the Marlins)
