End this already. I'm considering watching the Giants/Padres game instead of the Pathetiskins anyway.
Do I have this right; if the Braves hang on and win then the Padres beat the Giants. The Padres play the Giants on Monday for the NL West title and the loser then plays Tuesday vs the Braves for the Wild Card berth. If I'm right who hosts the games?
I think it's a coinflip.
San Diego would host vs. SF. The Braves would host the loser.
It's not a coin flip. It's like EdShroud said.
Man on 1st with 1 out becomes RISP with 1 out. That is a flat-out worse situation. Take a look at the run probabilities. If it were really as clear-cut as you make it sound, Burnett would IBB whenever there was a runner on first, but he doesn't. It's all about who Wright is, and he is not enough of a threat to make it worth IBBing him. Besides that, Burnett is not just a GB guy, this season he is also a strikeout guy. By IBBing someone you completely eliminate the potential for the K, which is obviously the best outcome.

I can't believe what a freaking tool TeleTorble is.As PA would say- "Not a Nats fan."
If Storen gets hurt pitching 2 1/3, you have to fire Riggleman out of a cannon as well as firing him.
