Impressive series.

Helluva start by Nola.

Just when you're ready to count him out, he pitches like this.

Pitching for his FA life.

Grear job by Nola, but Kimbrel is cooked for the season

Cannot pitch in high leverage the rest of the way

Fantastic win.
Fantastic sweep.
No notes.

And who will close and GET US to the closer?
Yeah, we'll live and die by Kimbrel in October. But also by every other hitter and pitcher.

He will get 4+/ AAV $20-25m from somebody

Marlins win, Cubs win.

Brewers beating the already-dead Padres.

Preller & Melvin are toast the day after the season.

Nats have a better record than the Padres, Cards, & Mets. As we all expected.....

It's interesting, though, looking at that team and trying to figure out the foundational pieces beyond Keibert Ruiz. Abrams has good power & speed for a shortstop, but .299 OBP is harrowing. Lane Thomas doesn't excite me as anything beyond a 6/7 hitter on a good team.

Gray and Gore are good rotation pieces.

I think they should have held onto Candelario and resigned him (which they could still do). ... They got some interesting prospects for him.

Overall, I guess there's some danger for regression for them next year. The next step for them would be passing Marlins in standings.
