I don't think many thought we'd make the playoffs. Way too big of hole. Thanks to this streak, we can play almost .500 baseball the rest of the way and make a WC.
Doesn't matter if we hit a wall and come back to earth. It's already salvaged the season for me. The free fall has stopped, I now have hope we can win again.

I'm greedy and always want to get in and take our chances, but it was looking pretty bleak at the midpoint.
The bloodletting has let us get some good looks at our pipeline and for the most part they have stepped up. They won't all stick, but there is cause for optimism for sure.
It would take some fortunate turns to make a deep run if they get in, but they still have considerable work to even get there.
