Cup of Coffee: September 27, 2023

The Phillies clinch the No. 1 Wild Card, Josh Hader wasn't available, Brooks Robinson passes away, Curt Schilling descends into antisemitism, and more.

Good morning, folks. We have just a week left in the regular season, creating a ton of pressure for the teams left in the remaining playoff races. The playoff picture got clearer on Tuesday, though, as the Phillies clinched the No. 1 NL Wild Card seed while the Brewers clinched the NL Central. We’ll go over all of Tuesday’s action and talk about the usage (or lack thereof) of Padres closer Josh Hader, the passing of Brooks Robinson, Adam Wainwright getting one last at-bat, Curt Schilling’s descent into antisemitism, and more.
