Let’s not have a tie with the BrewCrew, since they own the tiebreaker. Would rather Scherzer or Strasberg face them in DC. Milwaukee has been hot this month, therefore this isn’t a good time to face them in a do or die game. Particularly on the road.
It pains me hearing about Riley striking out so much. Down in the .220’s. He’s got our Culberson spot. Looks like Duvall might be added if we carry 5 OF(especially if Inciarte and his hammy is one of them). Swanson got a hit last night. He needs to get his bat going this week, before it counts for the marbles. Freddie played in 155 games, many of the recent games with a bone spur(s). Starting pitching has been lax since we clinched. Tehran giving up 6 in less than 3 innings, a little troubling yesterday. Donaldson needs to pick up the slack and get hot. Much of his 89 rbi’s have come off the 37 HR’s w/ only a .255 avg. We are getting ready to face better pitching, which entails creating some runs. I get concerned when the team is complacent. Part of clinching early is my guess?
Acuna says the hip tightness, was intolerable last night. He is day to day. Doesn’t look like he will be stealing bases this weekend in going after the 40/40 record.
