To try to alleviate some of the stress on here about that series. If we lose tomorrow’s game to the Cardinals, we will have matched our season high 3 losses in a row, suffered between May 6th-9th (Giants/Mets), and tomorrow is Game 78 of the year.
This is a very good and consistent team. The series against the Mariners could have been played five days ago and it would have looked different. They scored 30 runs. Cubs scored 20 runs. The wind was blowing out and the intense heat throughout would have made everyone perform worse than they are capable of. It was a weird series.
