This team is notorious for having runners in scoring position today, and not being able to hit them home against a notoriously bad NL Central team.

These teams don’t do TTMOTTBG during the stretch. They’ve chosen to do this instead.

I think we have three aces.
And I think Harden is the weakest, because he rarely goes this deep.

Very true.
I agree about Dempster, by the way, but this guy embarasses the other team and they HATE that when they’re on a national stage in the playoffs. . .
