Two straight days of good hitting and good pitching? Did we transport back to 2016? Now, I know you all are thinking the second half Cubs have been activated. But what if, and bare with me here, it's just a continuation of the first half home Cubs. The correct answer, at least for the next week, is who gives a horsefeathers because we've got 6 more home games coming up.

 

The Cubs are facing a good pitcher in this one which means one (or more) of the board's resident ninnies is surely wondering how the Cubs will ever score any runs, especially since he's pitched well in two starts against the Cubs this year. Bad news for Castillo is both of those starts were in the first half and not at Wrigley.

 

Go CUBS!!!

Castillo has been tough on the Cubs this year. Not sure how many hits the Cubs can get, let alone the number of runs. The Prof will need to bring his A-game.

So what are the odds we get to see a 'perfect' lineup at any point this season. Obviously opinions differ, but right now I'd love to see Schwarber/Heyward/KB, Bote/Baez/Robel/Rizz and then Willy.

 

Hopefully when Happ gets promoted in the next couple days, it's for Descalso or Russell. You'd think Robel has shown enough in his small sample size to not get sent back down.

If Robel could cut down his K% some, he would be an interesting leadoff candidate.

 

It should KB or Heyward. Robel is much closer to a Baez type hitter right now (and probably going forward).

If you're going off that tweet in the General Cubs thread, that isn't a person that really knows anything.

KB is apparently a head case and has to hit 3rd.
