Cubs (Boyd) vs Reds (Lodolo): 9/19/26, 5:40pm

[Brandon Glick]

Welp... it's a three-way tie for the Wild Card. Cubs have the tiebreaker, but we HAVE to win these games against the Marlins and Reds before traveling to Boston.

They really should win this one handily.  Almost everyone has great numbers against Lodolo.

One start closer to never seeing Boyd blow up ever again.

Do the Cubs start Happ against the lefty or Taylor?

Happ is 9 for 25 with a HR, 4 RBI, and a 1.010 OPS.

Taylor is 2 for 11 with a HR, 2 RBI, and a .705 OPS.

Maybe Happ does play today. He has hit this pitcher well, and it is in Cincy, where he always hits well. But maybe Taylor plays too.

The Boyd-Cubs losing streak ends tonight.  The walk-a-palooza ends tonight.  The Reds are a bad team however, even bad teams have a chance when you walk the world like Holmes did last night. He had the same issue in the loss to the Marlins.

Off topic but just saw Dbacks released Gurriel, If im Hoyer,  id scoop him up and sign him for next season, if he'll take a 1-2 yr deal with an option. 

I know he had a rough season coming off an injury, but if healthy next season he can be a pretty good RH bat for the OF and or the bench as a 4th OFer.

Definitely worth kicking the tires on, probably not 100%, give him and off season, a low buy.
