[We Got The Whole 9]

Pretty bad ab Candy. Two awful chases.

[UMFan83]

Seiya’s early count aggressiveness is nice. Just wish he swung at the first one right down the middle

In case you were wondering, this offseason will be Alzolay's first arbitration year, so they still have him for 3 years after this one.

Marlins win 3-1 so they’ll remain 0.5 back. With the Reds rainout the Cubs will end the night in sole possession of WC3. 
 

The Cubs have also I believe equaled their high water mark at 5 games over .500, last reached way back in April when they were 11-6

Toronto media is bewildered at how they Jays could be losing to a non AL East team.  They were counting on a minimum of 2 wins.  LOL.  I'm like a pig in slop.

[We Got The Whole 9]

I'd love to convert him back to a starter 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Major props to Cuas for steadying the ship as well after that ugly 6th

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Let’s get that sweep tomorrow!!

They also hit the 61 win mark in game 117 (compared to game 143 last season)

No, I was just being goofy..lol

Bellinger now has enough at bats to qualify for average leaders. 4th in the MLB behind Arraez, Freeman, and Acuna.

Yep, im hoping he ends up being a great pickup for them going forward

Kinda annoying that we lost 2 of 3 to the Mets, and then ATL went in and put 3 TD's up on them

ETA: Our team leader in RBI (Hoerner - 59) would be 6th on the Braves

That's baseball for ya.  Guaranteed at least a .500 road trip at least and really nice schedule coming up after tomorrow.
