That was a very good homestand! 8-2. I’ll take it.
Good win this evening to take the series from the Brewers. Cubs need to enjoy their day off tomorrow. They play 16 straight games before another scheduled day off.
That Brewers team is a tough out. Huge stretch of games coming up. The Brewers have 7 more on the road. The Cards are sort of reeling right now. Keep the pressure up.
In other news there is speculation that Zobrist and his wife may be on the skids. She recently deleted her twitter account and removed most of the photos of Zobrist from her instagram account.
Cubs World Series MVP Ben Zobrist, who has been on personal leave from the team since last week, filed a complaint early this week for legal separation from his wife, alleging she “has been guilty of inappropriate marital conduct, which rendered further cohabitation impossible,” according to a report in The Tennesseean.
Sorry to hear of Zobrist difficulties.
Cubs gift Reds a game tonight. Every reliever except Montgomery gave up a run and Monty escaped the same fate because of a Heyward- Russell-Taylor relay to nail a runner at home. Speaking of Heyward, in seven straight games at leadoff he is 3 for 33 with one walk. Joe might want to return him to seventh or eighth in the order, where he is hitting .304 and has produced 20 runs in 16 games. Just a thought.
You also have to take into account the Reds pitching is number one in baseball. Most strikeouts. Doesn’t allow hits or a lot of home runs. Yes the Cubs left opportunities out there but this ain’t the Orioles.
