I think the best way to go would be to have Taillon / Boyd / Rea go againts the Mets this weekend . Have Horton make his next start at AAA , stretch him out a bit more ( Hopefully in a dominating game ) and bring him up next week .
I would put the blame more on Berti than Swanson . Even if Swanson gets that ball it’s most likely an infield hit . If Berti makes a routine play , Mccutchen never gets to the plate there .
It seems like every game the other teams gets a much larger strike zone than the Cubs . Davis should have never reached base and Skenes is getting 3 ft off the outside corner to righties .
Bullpen was nails those last 3 IP. Took the season series against LA . Took season series against Dbacks and tied with SD .
Things don’t get any easier as they get Luzardo on Friday and he has been dominant so far .
