That said, there will still be a hangover from this for the next week or so. This stretch won't be out of their system probably until their next off day - Monday, 9/9.
Fortunately the next 6 are 3 vs. the Giants and 3 vs. the Pirates so even a 'down' team oughta split those and come through at 3-3. But if they could manage a 4-2 stretch there and then get their off day to recover from 10 games in an 8 day span, that'll be awfully impressive.

Yeah, I think I put too much emphasis on playing Carp and those sunshine and rainbows everywhere press conferences.
We went from a laughing stock on the bases and with defense to 3rd best in the league with basically the same players. That was a grueling stretch regardless of the competition level of the teams. Passed that test.
