This team is so streaky. My gut feeling...if they don't lose in the 1st round, they make the World Series...no idea if they beat whoever comes out of the NL.
However, I was thinking about last year and the real game changer is the starting pitching...against the A's Giolito was outstanding, but Dallas was not and we had nothing after that. Now....Lynn, Rodon, Giolito, Cease look very good. The offense just can't disappear and the bullpen has to pretend they are playing the 7th inning twice and on to the 9th (treat the 8th like some tall buildings do by just skipping a 13th floor...that 8th inning is cursed this year)
I'm excited to see postseason baseball for the SouthSiders 2 years in a row...something I have never seen in my lifetime.
