The Cubs will win the next 3 and win in 6. Because that's what it seems to take for Chicago teams to win this decade... well, the only other team to win won all their series in game 6.
Ifeel like Javy's skill caused that to be an error. Any other player and it hits his chest and drops at their feet, Javy won't let it drop and tried to catchy it barehand midair.
Russell hasn't been hitting since mid-August. He got up to an OPS of .781 on August 22nd. From there to the end of the season: .187/.261/.308 for an OPS of .569. If he is starting, he should be batting 9th again.
I'm hoping Soler has another hot playoffs so the Cubs can sell high on him. He could be a very good player, but he just seems to be made of glass, and is definitely a guy that could be moved.
