Tomorrow is a day they could probably get away with McCutchen in CF given how relatively small the Wrigley Field outfield is. Would also allow them to DH Keston...
You say it so emphatically when it's anything but a certainty...Keston has been much better this year, but to say he's for sure our best hitter is a step too far. Rowdy's OPS for instance, is only 10 points off Keston's and he has a lot more at-bats and less strikeouts.
McCutchen and Tellez have been our best hitters lately...Not saying Hiura shouldn't play some more, but he's really hurt by his lack of defensive versatility.
Also. would be a big win considering I doubt we see Contreras tomorrow after him coming up limping. He's been dealing with that nagging injury the whole season.
I never said it was the best we can hope for from Burnes. You're putting words in my mouth there. The three runs were less than ideal, obviously. Still, the Dodgers' offense is that good, and Burnes isn't going to dominate teams every game.
Is 1 out really that big of a difference? It was the Dodgers, man. They will get to you eventually and Burnes did a good job of shutting them down through 5.
