Phillies (Walker) vs Cubs (Rea): 4/25/25, 1:20pm

[We Got The Whole 9]

They should be like 21-6 but damn this is amazing

Cubs have the best run differential in MLB, are the only team over .500 against winning teams in the division, and other than 3 games have only played winning teams.

Well, 4 games now, all wins outscoring their opponents by a combined 39-9 in those games.

Is Collin Rea going to keep pitching like this? I HATED that signing at the time. I’m happy to eat crow

I know cold Wrigley helps but that was a dominant bullpen today for 4 innings.  LG Cubs!

I didn't think it possible for the Cubs to find a worse contract and possibly player than Jason Heyward, but here we are.  They would have lost nothing by keeping Nico at shortstop and using that money towards a SP or a different need 

Best defensive infielder in baseball,  been better than Turner and Bogaerts at significantly less cost.  Shifts a 4 WAR gold glove type SS to 2B.  Good guy and leader, plays every day and a competitor.  Winning all around.

As of the last power rankings, all but 3 games were against top 10 teams, not just winning teams.

Tiniest of samples but the pitch models adored what they saw out of Pomeranz yesterday

Is our manager figuring out the bullpen? What do you guys think?

I'm nervous for Pressly's next outing since it'll be his first post knee procedure, but generally yeah I think the group has been sorted out.  We need one of the gray beard lefties to step up but that's about it.
