re: The ATL Thread 9/24: This is Our Postseason Edition

Gallen stopped the AZ skid at 3 games - they beat the Giants 8-2 last night - now +1 over Atlanta until Friday games -

found this from the AZ perspective - this was prior to their win last night -

quote:

---

By Sunday, the Diamondbacks, if they lose three of their final four games of the season and the Mets and Braves sweep their respective weekend series, could be eliminated from contention.

The New York Post’s Joel Sherman reported Wednesday that if the Diamondbacks are eliminated over the weekend and the Mets and Braves have not yet settled seeding, it will be at the MLB commissioner Rob Manfred’s discretion whether to play Monday for seeding purposes.

there's also the aspect of SD needing to win in LA tonight to keep their division pennant chances alive with the 3 games in AZ this weekend - if Padres lose to LA tonight Dodgers clinch and SD would likely rest some players for the 3 games in AZ - advantage snakes -

What are you laughing about? That's how an actual contingency plan works. You have, as I said, MULTIPLE regions mapped out, to where you have MULTIPLE options of where to go. There are major and minor league parks everywhere, and there are at any given time, no more than 15 series being played between major league teams. You plan in advance, and as circumstances arise, you have different places you can go to. All the excuse making about last minute, goes out the window when you plan in advance.

Your laughing just tells me you have too much pride to respond to anything that flies in the face of your own opinion.
