Maybe. But statistically the brewers have a better offense, defense, rotation, and bullpen than the Cubs. Thats where I’d like to take my chances.
But you’re right that it’s San Diego’s top arms and bullpen that worry me.
I don't know. When I go to AmFam and listen to the fans talk, over 99% of the chatter is casual/dumb. I think there are tons of casuals, and ratings jumped this year.
Because he’s the one guy on our team who doesn’t have the best plate discipline, so forcing them to throw strikes should improve him as a hitter.
But I don’t think it’s a great reason. I’d like them to roll with Sal at lead off
The padres beat us in the season series too. Horton is out until game 5. The cubs pitching is significantly worse than the padres in a 5 game series. Their offense has scuffled. Other than the fact that it’s the Cubs, it feels like a no brainer.
