And that's in a stretch where the Cubs have had a ton of good fortune. Cubs have outperformed their xwOBA offensively by 41 points. The next highest overperformance was 32 points. They also overperformed their xERA by 1.01 runs. The next highest overperformance was by 0.85 runs. So basically Cubs have played way over their underlying numbers this month and will have either gained no ground or lost a game in the standings against us.

Could almost make a grown man weep. Almost.

Me neither, but 2-0 is solid indicator 

Watched a lot of it. It was cool and drizzly, just like it has been here, but didn’t seem to be a big wind. 

[willie key]

So Ortiz has played less than half the games since Hamilton came back.    Hahahahahaha

[82brewcrew82]

Jackson just has no plan at all.

Hamilton is such a classic #9 hitter. I love it.

[trwi7]

Turang gets on and then we send up three completely helpless hitters behind him.  This Johnson guy's stuff is complete trash.  I'm pretty sure I could hit him.

[dlk9s]

lol - the announcers said the top of the order needs to be more consistent.

[Bulldogboy]

Move Lara and Pratt up and Yelich and Chourio down. We need better ab.

They are consistent.  Consistently poor

Contreras can move down with them.

And that will officially kill all momentum Ortiz has had offensively.

[Samurai Bucky]

Whoops.  I did not put an over/under for Vinny saying “in all of baseball.”  O/u is 5.5

If only the manager had the ability to actually change who’s at the top of the order….

[RobertCrawley]

Mitchell caught it.

[willie key]

The top of the order has got to figure it out sooner or later.  This is ridiculous

He did.  Yelich is batting 3rd instead of 4th. 👍

[edfunderburk]

Johnson looks like a position player pitching in a blowout game. He looks terrible. How can he be a starting pitcher in the majors?

[RobertCrawley]

Nice swing by Bauers. Solid.

[Yaz19]

ALL HAIL JAKE!  Keep raking Jake.

[Turning2]

OK Levering, we get it…. there are lots of Cali connections

You guys hate it when the announcers talk about anything but exactly what is happening on the field that very second or statistics.

[SeaBass]

Once we clear the chaff at the top of the order the hits come.

[trwi7]

Come on Lara,  I only want automatic outs, like our 2-4 hitters bunting.

[RobertCrawley]

Somebody made a terrible mistake by telling Levering that he is funny.

[trwi7]

I do a spot on Patrick Star impression for my students.  Fun facts and such.
