Not watching the game yet, sounds like it's going brilliantly based on the "WTF" and "dumb" comments. -
Speaking to fans and journalists before the start of the London series versus the Cardinals, Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts says the Cubs are buyers right now. He later walked that back a bit, saying it's possible that changes with a team collapse. Given the relative weakness of the National League Central and the Cubs playing red-hot baseball over the past couple of weeks, it seems rather unlikely they fall out of contention for the division title over the next several weeks. The article points out that the infield corners and bullpen are the most obvious holes to patch at the deadline. Who should the Cubs target at the deadline? -

The Cubs have the opportunity to sweep this two-game series while returning to a .500 record for the first time since May 12th.
-
That was a good and proper ass-kicking.
-
Helluva catch by Seiya there.
-
A couple of loud outs against Steele there.
-
I chuckled at the idea of "not respecting" Madrigal's power.
-
So you know it's a day when Nick Madrigal hits a gapper over someone's head.
-
I'd be rather shocked if that wasn't the case.
-
And I mean he should play more, maybe prioritize it over broadcasting.
-
Ian Happ is havin' himself a game.
-
I'm okay if he plays more golf. Play all the golf.
-
Made Wainwright work a bit that inning, I'll take it.
-
*not the double play
-
That's a start, more please.
-
The batting helmets have advertisements?
-
Me upon realizing I'm going to be forced to listen to John Smoltz for the next three hours
-
Yeah, exactly. Look at yesterday's win. They beat Atlanta by scoring 11 runs on nine hits. They also had six walks but teams just aren't going to regularly score 75% of their baserunners, especially against the Braves. And they won by one run.
-
BaseRuns, which I feel is more accurate than pythag, has them even worse at 34-42. What we're seeing is smoke and mirrors. Those wins are banked but unless the Reds get their pitching staff in order, regression is coming for them in a big way. https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=BaseRuns

The Cubs kick off the London series against the desiccated corpse of Adam Wainwright. Given that they have Justin Steele on the mound, this is an opportunity to win going away, they need to take advantage of it.
-
If Bellinger gets really hot, I think the Cubs could do better than a comp pick. But I think the more prudent move is to QO Bellinger and then consider whether you want to sign him longer term.
-
The National League is exceptionally mediocre this season and the Cubs play in the worst division in the league. It seems premature to start speculating on the team selling in the middle of a hot streak. Are the Reds likely to sell? They're basically a week ahead of the Cubs in getting hot.
