For me I look at the 5-15 stretch in late-April and early-May, the 13 consecutive extra-inning losses due to the stupid baserunner rule, as well as losing the last three series against the Giants.Quote:

You can't expect anything less from Pollock. He's been the best hitter in the lineup in the second half.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow but am not expecting anything in regards to the division title. But if it happens, it happens.
if those things don't happen we end up smashing the all-time wins record, but those things were also directly tied to all the injuries we've had. Also note that the horrible call was tied to us losing one of those series against the giants. I don't normally complain about the umpires, but that was an unacceptably bad and obvious call that swung the division by two gamesQuote:

1993 wasn't that bad of a season. We finished 81-81.
Urias has a run-support of 6.23 this season. :speechless:
That'll help you rack up 20 wins easily.
what is Buehler's? Probably like .79 run support. They are doing him dirty like they did Kershaw in his prime.Quote:

Must have mistaken his .79 era guess with his era when he loses. Forgot he has like 14 wins. LMAO.Quote:

bubble wrap Betts, Trea Turner, Seager, Pollock, Turner now. Can't afford any injuries to them. Giants just won the division.
Hope Muncy is ok and he can come back in 1-2 weeks. If not Cody will need to step up bigtime.
How fitting. We are gonna win but so are the Giants.

Hopefully Muncy doesn't have to miss any timeQuote:
