Probably need 6+ runs to win today 

Probably not going to be able to work Schlitter for walks 

Just need to try and jump his fastballs... 

You either get lucky and the hits fall in and you tack on runs and rattle him, or you don't and he throws a complete game 

No other game plan makes sense though 

You can work him for walks if you have the lineup to do it. We had the lineup last year, a bit tougher now. I think we'll need a couple of walks, maybe a bunt here and there and at some point somebody's got to deliver a key hit.

This is life when you have no f***ing power.

Edit: if we need six runs to win, we might as well forfeit now. We need our bullpen to hold them.

Vlad got rekt so that make sense 

Ernie is a mess mentally so a day off makes sense

George is 52 years old 

They have a 15% chance to win today so it's a decent day to rest them up 

100% what they're doing, plus lightning in a bottle, 'tis baseball anything can happen etc, etc..

1.9 BB/9. Nobody is working him for walks man.

Have to hold them to 3 to have a chance, but lets f*ckin' do it Birds!

Vladdy to the IL... even if hes been pathetic by his standards... still better than most of the team :(

I'm sorry but that $500M has 71 wRC+ in August.

You can literally replace that stat with anyone

But no one else has the ability to put up 150 wRC+ and thats the ability this team would need to sustain this run.  Doubt it was gonna happen but our playoff hopes are tied to that unless Springer AND Kirk get hot.
