Hopefully, we win this series so people stop talking like the Mets have some kind of number of ours.

A line up with Russell batting 5th has issues

I would like to see Sczcur bat second. I think he might well there. That would push Russell back to 6; although he has been hot batting 5 lately.

In five games batting fifth, Russell has three home runs, 10 RBIs and is hitting .364.

I found this interesting.... Edwards has thrown roughly 190 pitches. 151 of them have been fastballs. 38 of them have been curves. Not surprising he limited his pitch types in relief but goes to show how good his fastball has been that he's basically throwing it 80% of the time and posting the results he has.

3 things I wanna see this series...
1. Lester and Arrieta have quality starts
2. Cubs offense show they can hit and score against good pitching
3. Win the series

Nice to see that! Lester working out of a mini jam. Confidence builder for the game.

The mets broadcast is talking about lester's throwing issues. I would have thought that story would die by now but apparently not.

Yeah. And technically speaking the cubs still are tied in the loss column for the best record.

They are doing an interview with Collins from i guess before the game. He's talking about Matz bone spurs and he's basically "suck it up baby" in more words. I find Collins rather unlikable. It seems like old time baseball pitch until your arm falls off type thing. Stuff like you can pitch with "pain" but that's different than being "hurt."

Well, according, to what I read is that he cant do any more damage. They said it has been a mind thing with him.

I mean I get what he was going for but he might as well have been calling Matz a pussy when saying what he was with the way he worded it.

Cubs 3rd basemen need to focus on getting the DP over that runner on 2nd

Baez leading off is kind of interesting. He's not your prototypical lead off guy with his lack of walks and big power but he does have the speed. I sorta like it.
