The most impressive feat in the cubs recent success is the teams they are doing it against. After taking 3 straight vs the shitty Marlins, they took 2 of 3 vs the 20-14 dbacks at home, then went and took 2 of 3 vs the 22-14 dodgers at home, then swept the dbacks on the road, then swept the 19-17 M's on the road and then swept the 20-14 cards at home. I mean that's 5 straight series vs pretty damn good teams and they've dominated.

That felt like it should have been more, but a 3 run first is a nice start.

The Cubs are in sleepwalking mode. (Somewhat to be expected.)

Let's score some more runs.

Noticed Heyward Avg. been dropping a bit, looked it up and seen he in a bit of a slump
9 for last 40 AB .225

Hopefully he can get it going again

We have hit the ball directly to second base three times with a man on first.

You bust Heyward in on his hands. That’s how I would pitch him anyway.

OK, Schwarber.

Either let him keep throwing balls, or get the big hit we need.
