With great pride, I can announce that your Chicago Cubs have the best record in the National League through 60 games.
Start the playoffs now? Wouldn't be the first time in recent memory we had a 60-game season...
Former Cub (and Pete Crow-Armstrong trade piece) Trevor Williams faces Chicago tonight. Hopefully he doesn't hold a grudge against us for sending him to the Mets...
Could definitely try to toss him out there in the second or third given his struggles in the first inning. I'd be surprised if they give him a ton of leash, though. He's really struggling right now.
The Cubs' fill-in closer is out with an oblique injury, further muddying the bullpen waters. When will the team make a move for a reliever?

I'm not saying it means anything, but in two at-bats versus Jameson Taillon, Kyle Stowers (who has been really good this year) has two home runs. Might wanna pitch around him tonight.
Marlins-White Sox-Marlins is a nice reprieve after all those NL West series in April, huh? And good news! The next three series are Reds-Rockies-Reds. Got a good chance to create some distance here.
A fun win last night, though Ballesteros was pretty disappointing in his debut, which is understandable. I doubt he gets the start tonight against a lefty.
So, uh, I guess Moises Ballesteros is on debut watch tonight? Bellozo is a righty, and it's hard for me to imagine Counsell wants Turner or Lopez in there more often than they have to be. I thoroughly expect Ballesteros to start at DH tonight.
Pope Leo XIV is a Chicago-born native and the first American to ever be elected as Pope. He's also supposedly a baseball fan. Team of destiny, anyone?
