AZ, SD, and Philly are all tied now.

Who do the Brewers prefer to play in the WC round?

If the Cubs can get even with the Brewers by 8/31 its going to be awesome

If the Cubs go .500 the rest of the way they finish with 91 wins

It’s the superstar factor. PCA has transformed this offense. Just keep it up.

I think 95 wins is a very reasonable goal. Need to go 25-17 the rest of the way. I think this team has upside beyond that.

I think we're going to be talking about his 2026 season for a long time

What is the plan for giving Busch off days? At what point do Kelly or Amaya get a few starts at 1st base as the only real options? 

There has to be SOME other non-catcher who an play a game at first base.  What about Conforto?  Hell, I bet Happ could do it.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Happ has 11 career appearances at 1B, none since 2020. Conforto has never played there.

You could probably get away with Pedro there, he's played a few innings in blowout games.

With the smoke about Ayers coming up next month, I see he's listed as a C/1B on FG. Maybe that's the plan, pending where the division/bye race is at, to give Busch a little mini-vacation heading into the playoffs.
