OSS: Cubs cruise to the easy win we’ve been waiting to see.
Three+ up:
- Jameson Taillon (?!) had a solid start, striking out seven and shutting out the Rockies for six innings. There were a few walks in there but more importantly, few meatballs.
- Seiya Suzuki continued his hot second half of the season, going 3-4 with a homer, three RsBI, and two runs scored. In the second half of the season, he has a .298/.356/.556 slash line, good for a .380 wOBA and a 141 wRC+.
- Jared Young proved Ross’s faith in him today, I guess, by hitting a booming two run homer in the sixth to give the bullpen some much needed insurance runs.
- The Marlins were blown out by the Beers, so the Cubs are back in the lead for the last playoff spot
- Jeimer Candelario may be back very soon
Three down:
1. Still lots of head scratching over PCA and Canario not getting starts, but I guess it worked out today.
2-9: Pretty much all of the last week, oy.
Next up: The Cubs, now in sole posession of the last wild card spot, will ‘start’ Marcus Stroman against 90s JRPG NPC Chris Flexen at 1:20 PM CT.

I would start PCA tomorrow but that’s just my prospect pervert bias I suppose

Fun one today, but I’m surprised Bryan Lahair was all the way up at 2% for Cubs All-Star while Wade Davis is at 0.1%.

Bad second inning for Stroman but theoretically the Cubs should score again

Over 400 Cubs have had .300+ BA seasons but you wouldn’t know it from our fan base (dying laughing)

Cubs really need some of these batted balls to become hits, but alas

Been in and out on the radio feed all day but it seems like the cubs have 500 warning track fly outs

Cubs really dedicated to giving us as little as possible to cheer about.

Maybe giving Merryweather a week off had a downside.

If only the bullpen wasn’t running on fumes

The Diamondbacks having to play a doubleheader tomorrow is not my least favorite thing ever.

I thought I saw a Sikh Cubs fan dancing in the stands during Go Cubs Win, but it was just a helmet haired karen. I needs new glasses.

Hope everyone’s gonna be ok with that hurricane weather but the rescheduling does kind of mess with the teams in contention so there’s your silver lining

Brewers just tied Marlins so this could still turn out to be a good day pending more Pirates motivation
