Cubs (Gausman) vs Brewers (Henderson): 09/09/26, 6:40 PM

I was reminded of this after watching Turang being held at 3rd base last night on the Frelick hit. Third base coaches are a lot like offensive linemen in that you usually just notice them when they screw up. There have been some comings & goings there in the last decade plus, but to me Matt Erickson has quietly been very, very solid. I used to think he was going to have a career as a 'good soldier' w/o ever coaching at the MLB level. Great to see him doing a nice job in the show.

I’m not a gambler, but I wonder how Vegas measures the betting odds for that series.

I know we were thinking "punt game" but we've got the A-lineup and our second-best starter going. Just need a bullpen sacrificial lamb if Henderson only goes 4 or 5.

I want 100 wins as much as the next guy because it would be really cool to check that box -

BUT

- I more so want the young starting staff to be feeling strong when we get to 162 so I wouldn't mind leaning on the 40man depth we are stashing in Nashville right now to cover as much of the next 5-6 games as we can after today.

Sproat getting a long assignment and then being sent down for Gordon to do the same and then he be sent down for Stallings, Koenig, etc

Use the extra arms while we can.
