Yes let's not get carried away.

So should Minnesota

Cease has stuff and as such can pitch over the peripherals.

Cease can get by on stuff. That is something Lopez can't. Cease will be fine long term. He will benefit from this which sucks that Kopech isn't here.

EE is a veteran presence and we dont know that impact so I get him playing but Mazara is baffling.

I think the game management by Nagy at the end of the half was game changing. At that time with he way the offense was going, you go in tied at 6. Patricia isn't going to make it through the season. Watching the Lions was painful.

I would disagree but Abreu's defense has been something to behold....well except for the random dropping of the ball. Oddly Abreu and Anderson could be the 4th and 5th best position on the team next year with no drop off in their game

I think in the playoffs pitchers that are still around will be stronger in the playoffs this year then prior years. Hitters will be more fresh as well so there are trade offs.

Every team is in this boat. It is a 60 game schedule with normal off days. The bullpen will be better suited for these playoffs then after a 162 game grind. I think all playoff pitching will be better this fall as guys will be more fresh.

The cubs play Minnesota, Cleveland and the White Sox. They will have as much a role as any in the division championship.

Struck out 13 times against 5 pitchers. Nicks shitty base running cost them nothing. Moncada wasnt going to drive him in. Tyler flowersesque ending

Once again why is moncada batting 2nd? Madrigal is as bad anase runner as Avi

In extra innings he can steal first and second.

They need to figure out the bullpen.

Why is all I can say.

sigh..........

I will give Mazara credit he has realized the power isn't there and changed his whole approach. Kudos to him.

They are sticking with EE as I think he is a clubhouse guy they like but no reason to be in there daily and bat 4th,

Pitching needs to get better.

Fucking ah it's not suppossed to be this fucking hard shit

Wtf

Wtf

Foster needs to not shake of pitches.

Doesnt feel like a win but hope they can keep grinding. Everything is regressing back to the mean.
