Also, Juan Soto has tied Mel Ott for most mult-HR games before turning 21 (5)

I'm fine with Acuna getting pulled.

"letting the kids play" doesn't mean having a license to play like a dumb****.

Happy we took 2 of 3 but that wasn't convincing at all.

Hey, we took a series from mb the Dodgers. Even could have had a sweep if the pen didn't collapse in game 1. Not a bad series at all considering Freeman went 0-12 in it. We actually won a series against LAD. Now I will admit we are a good team like I said I would once they did that.

Back to back dominant starts from Quintana is definitely encouraging to see. Also looks like we're finally get off the schneid and win a road series too. Thanks, Pirates.

the Cubs best 2 starters lately Jose Quintana and Yu Darvish. Go figure.

I actually thought that was about as good as Kimbrel looked as a Cub. Obviously the homer is kind of worrisome, but first pitch off the DL in a 7-0 game why not groove one and try to steal a strike. And it looked like he was hitting his spots for the most part. However, the time for these "oh it wasn't his night but he looked good" outings is quickly coming to an end.
