Nine games left, one game back. And we visit the Snakes, the worst team in the National League, while the Giants head to Colorado (where the Rockies, who dropped two with us last series, have usually been good at home).
The good news for this series: we face three starters with ERAs all over 4.00, and none of which have more than two wins this year.
The bad news: our starters have been uncharacteristically pedestrian of late, including consecutive shaky starts from normally solid Walker Buehler; five runs scored off of our ace Max Scherzer; and a concerning dip in fastball velocity from 18-game winner Julio Urias, who is well over his season-high innings count.
My expectation is that we don't make up ground this weekend. Sigh.

Hola Dusty!!
Great catch by AJ!!!
Tony Gonsolin always makes me nervous. I don't if it's because I don't like him or maybe it's just because he's a sucky pitcher.
The Hated Ones beat the Rox 7-2.

So, we lost ground this weekend after all. Two games back, six to play. This isn't going to happen. And the Cardinals are red hot.
Sigh.
