back in action and we didn't miss a beat. 7-1 last night and already up 6-2 tonight

seems like the good starting pitching and defense of 2016 are back

Great start. did read article that players realizing this might be end of the core and just trying to enjoy the ride. That was kind of sobering for me but guess all we can do is enjoy it like they are.

Nice to get a guy who produces for us like he did against us.

dang brewers, got to get back on track

double header with the cardinals (as they try to make up a dozen or so games)

back on track

Looked like makings if a bad slide especially after Brewers with no Yelich but 3 of 5 against Cards with a save by Kimbrel!

Looks like we got some potential bullpen help. Not sure about the why for the position players.

chatwood hurt

lot of trades

andrew chafin from arizonoa (reliever)
josh osich from boston (reliever)
jose martinez from tampa (dh)
cameron maybin from detroit (outfield)

for a bunch of players to be named later, how do we have roster room for all these guys?

lost three in a row, dang cardinals

we're only 1.5 games ahead and they have three fewer losses than us

four in a row, just need to keep at it

read somewhere the cubs have only played like 9 games against teams over .500 this year

last game of the regular season today, it would be nice to get a win and get some momentum. we've lost 6 out of the last 8

hermes · Post #38 » by **hermes** » Mon Sep 28, 2020 9:58 pm

alright, we get the marlins in round 1

here's hoping the bats get going and the bullpen does alright

Before 2016 my playoff misery was at the hands of Padres, Diamondbacks, Mets, Marlins, Braves, Dodgers, and Giants. Braves got exorcised in 2003 and Dodgers and Giants in 2016. Looking forward to doing the same to Marlins in 2020!

Bullpen looks same as 2019. Need something from Yu and pen for this year to be anything audacity
