Thanks.
Not sure Lugo is going to pitch now, or so I read somewhere.

Thanks. Not sure Lugo is going to pitch now, or so I read somewhere. Yes, I figured that now that they're in they might just let them pitch 3 or 4 innings (50-60 pitches) or skip. Might do that tomorrow too with Ragans.

There are several scenario's whereby the Braves and Mets will be playing Monday just for WC round seeding. The Braves and Mets both own the tiebreaker with Arizona. The magic # is 3 for both teams against AZ. If AZ loses 1 game and the Braves and Mets win both, the Braves and Mets are in. If AZ loses both games the Braves and Mets are both in with just a win on Sat or Sun. In those two situations Monday's DH would be strictly for seeding. In that situation, if the Braves win the 1st game of the DH, the 2nd game would not be played because they would own the tiebreaker over the Mets. Either way if that situation arises Sale could be saved for game 1 of any WC round. That would be ideal for the Braves. If the Braves win tonight and AZ loses I would expect SBach to pitch tomorrow to clinch and Morton to go Monday for a higher seed (Snit may reverse that). If both games would be needed Monday I'm guessing the Braves bring up a minor league starter for the DH to start the 2nd game, the extra pitcher allowed in DH. Not sure who's available but maybe one of Ian Anderson, Elder, or AJSS. I'm not aware of any injury situations so maybe that's a consideration too.

Lopez looks good in 1st. Hit 99 mph. Ump has tight zone. 4 extra pitches so far because of it. Harris with sliding catch to end the inning.

The much aligned Lorenzen is in for KC.

Lorenzen dispatches the Braves on 10 pitches. The dirty bum.

Umpire is an idiot.
