" No Cubs No No Cubs Nooo , Hey Chicago what do you sayy you only scored 3 runs todayyy" " Craig is rubbing his head cause he did what the analytics said "

Collins has been playing some balls bad late in the OF, Is it possible Murphy is using the " if you don't play good defense that you sit a few games" . Plus Collins was picked off first a few games ago. Murphy stresses smart base running as well. Maybe Perkins defensively is taking priority in this series ???

I wouldn't say the Phillies have a cupcake after tonight Arizona is still in the wildcard hunt, but yes Miami and Minnesota are looking forward to the Off season. LA surprisingly looks like a tough schedule with Ariz, Sea and SF having something to play for SD- Mets, Ariz and Mil playing for something but the CHI Sox will be a cakewalk (currently 2 GB of LA) Cubs- Mets, Reds have something to play for and the Cards might play Chicago tough with their rivalry We know after these two games, the Crew schedule will get tougher so interesting last few weeks of season.

I think outside of Peralta, the starting pitching is pitching above their normal, As Drew Olson always said "regression to the mean will happen" it's a matter of when, hopefully it will last as long as it can.
