But I just bought plane tickets for the NLDS. Had to make sure I got them cheap. And, as a sign, the Rockies got a 1-2-3 inning while I was buying them.

No

If we win division we play the worse of STL and Philly. IF we win WC we play the best. We don’t know which will be which yet.

Magic Number = 1 for WC, 7 for NL West.

also depends on where we finish too

cuz if we win the division, we could potentially be the #1 seed….

I still think it's good to wait until the offseason to hash this stuff out.

There’s not much the Rockies can do about it now, and complaining about the players that will be going in the offseason just comes off as shrill in the midst of a pennant run.

In Atkins case, early to mid-November will work fine.

He’s going to be a non-tender, so if we don’t trade him for that bat rack by the first week of December, you’ll be too late with it.
