I think I’ll just let these images say all I’d need to.

The most surprising piece of information from that post was that Houston is not yet mathematically eliminated. Go Brewers
where do you get these standings with the playoff percentages? also, after todays game, gallardo has just under 170 innings this year. he obviously has 2 starts left in him for the year, but that only takes us to the end of the season. how is that gonna work for the postseason with him if the crew makes it? that makes me a bit nervous that the brewers could potentially be pushing him right to the edge if not just a bit past it as far as innings pitched goes.

As far as Yo is concerned, the Brewers are going to need to get creative. If they make the playoffs they might have to use him out of the bullpen.
