Cubs have scored 13 runs in their last five games! That’s 2.6 per game and somehow they are 4-1.
I can’t believe the Cardinals were the hottest team in baseball and now it is the Brewers. Hopefully the division beyond the Cubs cools off.
Both of our runs were off Cin miscues. Neither should have been a hit.
I don’t know how Palencia is going to work out. I think he throws too many groovers right in the middle of the plate but one thing I love is he really wants the closer job. He wants that pressure.
I really thought the division would be worse than this overall. Now the Brewers are hot. The Reds are statistically the most unlucky team overall given their run differential. And the Cardinals have overperformed. The Pirates are the only team out of it.
Don’t mull me for this it this team reminds me a bit of the orioles two years ago. They could mash the ball and had solid starting pitching but no aces. They won 101 games but did not get it done in the playoffs. I hope Jed swings for the fences at the trade deadline.
Young pitcher has best performance of young career. Confidence builder.
Young hitter has a GW hit, biggest hit of young career. Confidence builder.
I think we would all have signed up for those results!
