Legit impressive hustle from Vlad. Thought that was a sure DP even with the slow bounce -
Seems like Seiya has gone back to being too passive early in counts. Granted those were some good pitches by Ryu and one was a borderline strike but I’ve noticed him taking first pitch strikes again the last 2 days
-
The Cubs are 50-50 in their last 100 games, they are thoroughly mediocre
-
Good horsefeathers Dansby

For as good as the Cubs have been lately, they have not swept a 3+ game series since mid-June against the Pirates. Their 3 sweeps this year have been at Pirates, vs Pirates and at Oakland. Seems like every time they have a chance to sweep they drop the final game. Hopefully that changes today!
-
Giants and Phillies both lost. Cubs now 1.5 and 3.5 games behind each respectively
-
I like cocky NSBB
-
And hey those amazing Brewers managed to cross into positive run differential today. Unstoppable force
-
Brewers win 3-2. Cubs remain 2.5 games behind in the Central
-
White Sox blow a 2 run lead over Brewers in the 7th. Bastards
-
I obviously know this is sarcasm, but it reminded me of a crazy stat I saw today. Mahomes average air yards per TD pass last year was 4.5 yards

For fun, here are upcoming schedules after this series: Cubs: 2 vs. CWS 3 vs. KC 3 @ DET 4 @ PIT 3 vs. MIL Reds: 2 vs. CLE 3 vs. TOR 3 @ LAA 4 @ ARI 3 @ SF MIL: 3 @ LAD 3 @ TEX 2 vs. MIN 3 vs. SD 3 @ CHC MIA: 3 vs. HOU 3 @ LAD 3 @ SD 3 vs. WAS 2 vs. TB So basically all our competitors have pretty damn tough schedules coming up while the Cubs get to play the dregs of the AL and NL Central. Nothing is written in stone but the schedules REALLY play out in our favor the next couple of weeks.

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

One more

Let’s do this Adbert
-
Seiya’s early count aggressiveness is nice. Just wish he swung at the first one right down the middle
-
Reds and Pirates are rained out today, DH tomorrow
-
8-9-1 due up for Toronto
-
Beautiful Morel
-
Bellinger is a decent baseball player
-
At this point i think you consider Merryweather for a 2nd inning if the Cubs don’t score in the 9th
-
Yeah I don’t think you can’t both pull your starter early AND pull your middle relievers early when they are pitching well for matchup purposes. Especially in a 1 run game where the chances of being in a tied game late are decent.
-
If they save Alzolay for a potential save, relievers left for the 9th (unless Merryweather goes 2) are Wesneski, Kilian, Smyly and Palencia edit: I see others are making this point too lol
