That’s good to know ammo. I thought STL owned a tiebreaker over them but if they lose and Milwaukee wins they get another one.
Washington is on fire right now and I don’t like the idea of facing a Corbin or Scherzer in a one game situation but it is what it is.
Just get the W and hope for the best next week
I swear to God, if Fat Albers is on the playoff roster I may blow a gasket.
Counsel has been nails down the stretch managing the roster but putting Albers in the 10th instead of keeping Hader in there? I don’t get it. Forget about the wildcard you have to win that game last night knowing the Cards already lost.
CUBS & cards @ 3:15 EDT. BREWERS & rocks @ 3:10EDT. Go Cubs and Brewers!!!!

With that score, it looks like the Cubs brought in some wino off the streets to pitch today.

ALLRIGHTY BK, Looks like 7:08pm Tuesday nite @ Washington, versus a rested Max Scherzer Brewer pitcher TBD.
Brewers have some tough decisions to make on the playoff roster, especially when it comes to bullpen. They all sucked this weekend.
As long as they keep Albers around it will be fine.
So, we get a one game playoff against a Future HOF starter. And our starter will be probably be Jordan Lyles, a guy who has an ERA of 5.11 in over 900 innings at the major league level.
And, we'll be missing Yelich, Braun, and Cain. Moustakas will be limited.
Last year, they started the following guys in Game 7 of the NLCS.
Cain, Yelich, Braun, Shaw, Aguilar, Moustakas, Kratz, Arcia, Chacin.
It's possible only Arcia and a banged up Moustakas will start on Tuesday.
The fact they made the playoffs is outstanding. Anything else is gravy.

I don't think anyone that pitched today will be on the roster for Tuesday. Plus Albers from last night.
I'd roll with Guera, Peralta, Pomeranz, Hader, Suter, Woodruff (either in relief or opener), Lyles, Gio, maybe Claudio (I personally don't trust him), Davies and Chase. I'm sure I'm missing some without looking it up. Throw all of them if needed - just find a way to get a win and worry about NLDS on Thursday.
The fact that they made it this far is amazing and was entirely unexpected. If they do lose to the Nats I'm not going to call the season a disappointment.
Get the fuck out of Colorado and don’t look back. God almighty what a kick in the nuts against a team that had nothing to play for.
Not going to be easy against Washington but seems that’s how this team likes it

Braun said he would have been ready to play Monday if needed. Now he gets an extra day so he should be ready. I have also heard nothing about Cain not being able to play Tuesday. Got link that says he is out?
Don't stop him...he was on a pity roll.
TimesFour.........no place for pity.

Just that he didn't play today.
