Series win would be impressive against Milwaukee

One game at a time. What new excitement do we get today?

No pressure, Taj, but you're our Ace right now.

Meaningful baseball on a Saturday night in August against the team with the best record in MLB: Hey, I’ll take it!

August means the bar has been lowered, but we'll take it.

Yup - Sept.:Oct. would obviously be preferable, but this will do for now.

Ah, the intermediate value theorem.

Second straight left hander. I'll be interested in the starting lineup. My guess is Jackson at first, Lewis at second, Culpepper at short and Lee at third with Martin, Keaschall and Kreidler in the OF, maybe Jeffers behind the plate. The lefty hitters get the Miz on Sunday. Sounds like fun.

Bullpen would be Rogers, Fundy, Minter, Adams and maybe Nance.

Looking at the matchups on Gameday, it looks like Clemens has had a bit of success against Gasser (minuscule sample size). So I’d expect Clemens at 2nd, Lewis at 1st, and Jackson either catching or on the bench.

Wins and losses being more like a step function, some simplifying assumptions may be called for.  Continuous Almost Everywhere?

Good.  No curveballs, or sliders in the dirt.  Should be a productive game for the offense.
