They also need a fielding instructor, and a manager that knows how to play NL baseball. It would also help if their huge free agent pitcher had more than 4 wins heading into the all - star break. Team has way too many holes to stay in the playoff race into September.

Arietta gave the Cubs some positive momentum going into the break today.

Have been hovering between 5-9 games over 500 for the last month or so, hopefully after the break we can get over that +10 hump and never look back.

First 17 games coming out of the break are against sub-500 teams.

Arietta for the series win tomorrow. We really have a good chance to make some noise these next 3 weeks.

Gotta make the most of it to get the wild card. Playoff experience could be huge the next few years.

They also need a fielding instructor,

Their most tenured player in the infield is 25 years old. Give it a little time.

and a manager that knows how to play NL baseball.

All indications are that Maddon will be fine. I'd say he's getting the most out of the team right now. Way too early to make comments like that.

It would also help if their huge free agent pitcher had more than 4 wins heading into the all - star break.

Wins don't mean shit, he has gotten the 2nd worst run support in the majors this year. He's been lights out lately, WHIP under 1 in his last 5 starts. He's rounding into form.

Team has way too many holes to stay in the playoff race into September.

They are not the perfect team, but what team competing for that 2nd wild card doesn't have holes? It's all relative. You're telling me the Mets are a better team? They couldn't hit their way out of a paper bag. The D'Backs are for real? The Giants are the only real competition.


This is just a typical Wisconsin hater spewing bullshit. I've seen way too much of it in my life, it all sounds the same. Next comes a Cutler joke. :ohno:

So the Reds intentionally walk Solar with a runner on 1st and put the go ahead runner in scoring position .

That is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

But I'll take it

Cubs get the series split on the road, with neither Arrieta nor Lester pitching. We'll take it.

3-2 road trip, now an off day and 6 at home against the Phillies/Rockies.
