Pitching match ups really favor the Cubs. They miss seeing Strider, Burnes and Woodruff.  Marlins get the three Brewers studs and Senga.

That sounds like the makings of Miami fighting to get in/getting hot at the right time and riding it deep into the playoffs.

 

Conversely, it has the makings of the Cubs backing into the playoffs and getting bounced quickly.

Shades of Brant Brown with Suzuki misplay.

Or Grady Sizemore late 2005 against the Royals that Sunday before the final week of the season that crushed the Indians/Guardians.

Brant Brown dropped the ball.  Suzuki didn't even get a glove on his.  Sizemore's hit him in the thigh.  Lost it in the sun cuz the weather god was on our side.  Hurricane Rita veered east and the sun came out in KC that day.

Remember the radio call?

BIG VOICE: BRANT BROWNNNN ... DROPS THE BALL!

little voice Oh no!

BIG VOICE: HE DROPS THE BALL.

little voice: noooooooooooo!

Just remembered.   Cubs made the playoffs that year.

Was that the 163 game v the Giants? 

Only team with solid pitching in the NL right now is the Brewers who do not matchup well with the cubs.

Clevenger would have been a great get for any NL team.

It was an earlier game, I think against the Brewers at County Stadium.  They beat the Giants in G 163.

Mets left tarp off the field over the weekend.

Yankees managed to play on Monday in the midst of a so called tropical storm due to their grounds crew.

Could save the Cubs.

 

Arraez out too.
