good start be lester and a good game for russell and everyone else chipped in

feels like we could get a nice sustained streak of success going here at any time, and we're already doing pretty good

wonder when/if the other teams in the central will start to fall off, seems unsustainable to have four teams in one division be this good for very long

what do you guys think about all this machado stuff? should we try and get him or just let it ride with this group?

There is no need for Machado. The cost wouldn't be worth it for a minimal upgrade.

Agreed. Great player but dont think cost is worth it.

Took 2 out of 3 from the Giants after a weak short series against Cleveland. A big series against the Pirates followed by a huge June. June has 13 games against division opponents and 7 against the surging Dodgers. Throw in the Mets and Phillies and that is a tough month.

brewers starting to get a little separation at the top, can't fall too far behind

although we're 7-1 against them so far this year, so maybe its just a matter of playing them again to catch up

almora has really been hitting well this year

It looked like the baseball I used to play and love. I think technically baseball is against the rules of baseball at this point, but it is good to see that some baseball players are still playing baseball.

another win, this is good - getting back on track (offensively) and also burying the pirates down further in the division

Something is off with Hendricks. He has given up 11 HRs already. He is on pace to give up 34 which would be DOUBLE his previous high of 17.

good start by quintana

cubs keep rolling over the mets

hermes · Post #77 » by **hermes** » Sat Jun 2, 2018 1:43 pm

another win over the mets, zobrist is really playing well lately

and chipping away at the brewers lead, only 3 games now

hermes · Post #78 » by **hermes** » Sun Jun 3, 2018 11:07 pm

long game last night and another win today, swept the mets

good stuff man, good stuff

I think the Rizzo slide rallied the team. They seem different since then.

ten games above 500 and only a couple behind the brewers, the division is starting to clear out now with the pirates sliding a little
