ARI 6, PHI 5

Watching Philliesky crumble to emotional dust when Kimbrel came in was...really something. An entertaining nail-biter of a game, but tough to watch too, thanks to a couple of dudes who were in the (low-ish!) minors not that long ago walking the ballpark, and the Phils' bullpen just running out of gas.

This morning, I thought the Diamondbacks had no shot to get to the Classic. Now I'm not so sure.

And I'm not as sure as I was how the pool is going to shake out even if they do...because a couple of picks who set the world on fire in the DS have fallen off a damn cliff since. Carroll has done close to squat the last 10 days; Stott is little better; Castellanos seems to have gone cold. 

It's a long postseason, sometimes.


Points:

Carroll 0

Castellanos 0
Harper 0
Schwarber 6
Stott 0
Turner 1


This weird heat map puts a couple of slates back in the conversation as far as catching Crase; drops one slate out of the money pretty decisively; and shuffles everyone else around in an interesting fashion.

The standings at the end of today:

90 Crase
83 Wonsetler
81 YOLO Joe

71 SDB 2

Everyone else after the jump!


60 Fell

58 SDB 1
57 Dunn Yuhan LLP
50 Bauer Spoon and Bingham 1

43 Stempel

38 Quinn
36 MArbour 1
34 Bingham 2
32 Cayenne 2 and LyonCorn

28 Richardson
27 Tormey and MArbour 2
21 Cayenne 1
20 O'Reilly

14 Cameron


The Texan teams return to Houston, with tomorrow the off day; PHI/ARI comes out for Round 5 tomorrow night at 8:07 ET on TBS, Wheeler vs. Gallen on the bump. Not sure I love this match-up for Wheeler a second time, honestly, but -- that's why they play the games!

Anything looks weird with my arithmetic, LMK, and as always, good luck...
