My opinion, should of left Assad in the rotation and used Stroman for late relief to help the depleted pen. For the most part the rotation hasn't been the problem, it been the bullpen and more specific the back end, those guys are on fumes.
I honestly don't think it matters much to the majority of them one way or other because they know they're not built to make any kind of run... yea they'd like to go but.....
Marlins with the Mets tonight and the Pirates over the Weekend are likely to go no worse them 2-2, I just dont see the Cubs winning 3 of 4 against the Braves and Brewers this weekend.
Not this team, how they managed to be where their at now is beyond me, but with no real stud Ace or solid 1-3 in rotation, no bullpen, and shaky offense getting pass the first round would be a miracle.
Probably their best shot to steal a game against the Braves being up 6 zip late, unless the Braves clinch home field tomorrow and rest everyone on Thursday.
