I believe the Cubs magic number for clinching a playoff spot is 12.

Do we still have to play the stupid game in DC?

[17 Seconds]

i remember thinking before the beginning of the road trip that a 3 or so game lead through the second brewers series would be solid. do it.

I watched the Weather Channel this morning and it looks like the storm is veering South a little bit. My co-workers in Baltimore all switched their flights out of DC from Thursday to Wednesday though. So if the Cubs are flying into DC on Thursday they’ll be heading the wrong way :)

Are all the Cubs pitchers a butt then?

Careful with that witchcraft

Chase Anderson isn't very good in general, but he's got reverse splits this year. and over his whole career. Give Murphy the day off, see if Russell shows anything at the plate.

I still don't get why Murphy is leadoff instead of Zo.

[Andy]

I sorta wish we'd mothball Contreras for a couple days and ride Caratini while he's swinging the bat well.

I don't get why Joe insists on the black hole other wise known as Contreras and Russell in the lineup. Caratini was the entire offense last night! :banghead:

[minnesotacubsfan]

Is Schwarber hurt?

Because despite the hot steak, Caratini is actually bad. Anderson also has some reverse splits I believe.

[Cubswin11]

Is Schwarber hurt?

Yeah back issues. Doesn’t sound like he’ll be out too long though

[Cubswin11]

I still don't get why Murphy is leadoff instead of Zo.

Yeah, I really think they should be flipped too. Murphy doesn’t really get on base. He’s a perfect guy to it behind the OBP guys because of his contact ability

[Gilby]

Anderson's homerun problem will be cured for at least one start

[The_Achiever]

Yeah back issues. Doesn’t sound like he’ll be out too long though

 

Sounds like Friday per Theo.

hitting him higher in the order makes it so you could maybe take him out for D one inning sooner

[Jaxbro]

Win turds

 

But alas we can’t have nice shiny things

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Kyle's got this. Cubs win another shutout, but this time they dong. 8-0. Division over.

[Schwarber Fan]

I doubt Maddon plans on putting Zobrist in the leadoff spot after tonight, but he absolutely OWNS Anderson in his career so tonight it’s OK that he’s in the middle of the order.
