So apparently the Cubs run differential so far is only +4. Does that mean I should feel positive because they sit 5 games above .500, winning a bunch of close games, or should I be worried that we're due some regression in terms of wins & losses?
Jay at 1.1? seems odd to me... I know it's thought he's likely capable of starting, but wouldn't you want someone who at least has a track record of starting at 1.1? The answer to your question: Dave Stewart
The thought of a locked-in Baez (as unlikely as that may be) terrorizing the Cubs for the next 7+ years scares the [expletive] out of me.... But, damn...I think I'd have to roll the dice on dealing him + McKinney for Cueto + Chapman.
I hope this weekend set doesn't turn out the same way as the 2 series against the Brewers. Given the pitching matchups, Cubs should win 2 of 3, but #baseball
Is it at all a surprise that Zagunis was pretty quickly moved to OF instead of being kept @ catcher? I don't know much about him...were his receiving skills that weak?
Castro at least hit a fly ball to RCF last night....so I guess that's all I've got concerning him. Bullpen is gonna get heavy use again tonight methinks.
I honestly think Wada gets a QS (6 innings, 2 ER). It's just gonna come down to whether Ross issues a bunch of walks, leading to his early exit. Starlin not sucking would also help.
