    It’s kind of wild to step back. It’s great to be in the post-season chase, but this team’s underperformed so much relative to pre-season expectations (e.g., predictions we’d win the world series). I think we’re essentially trying to defend the 3rd wild card spot for the rest of the season. But, if things go poorly this series, Boston could kick us out of it. Plus, Manoah’s starting tonight: last year ace, this year 6th man in the rotation? Let’s beat the Red Sox for the first time this season and kick this series off right - Go Puma! Go Davis Schneider! I hope Springer gets another hit! I hope Paul DeJong does something too, if only to feel a little more at ease in his new club. I’m intrigued to see Jano hitting cleanup! Another Jano blast? Yes please.

      Every once in a while I try to remind myself that this team is pretty good and I should appreciate that, even if I’m disappointed they’re not likely to win the division. Not to mention they still have a shot at winning the whole thing, or at least making a deep playoff run.
