Followed immediately by a Damn it JJ.
two more years with Kimbrel after this one? https://www.si.com/mlb/2019/06/05/c...mer Red Sox closer Craig,2018 with a 2.74 ERA.
Edit - looks like just one more after this season.
Have not clinched a spot yet, but up 5.5 on 2nd place with 12 to play. The Cards and Brewers have to play 8 more times in the next couple of weeks, so I am going to assume they won't catch up unless one team sweeps, but that would knock out the other one - and the Reds schedule is tough. The biggest challenge for the Cubs is their own schedule - with 8 of the 12 remaining games against 3 teams currently in the playoffs from the AL Central. The Cubs are tied for the 2 seed right now, and if they can win the division, they will get home field against a wild card team or the lowest ranked 2nd place finisher - which at this rate looks like the Cards, Phils, Giants or maybe Marlins. I am pretty confident in a 3 game series for the Cubs against any of those teams knowing Yu and Hendricks will go game 1 & 2 - except maybe the Cards who have a 4 deep rotation. Phillies have two good arms, but only Wheeler is scary as a lefty, the Fish have some young arms, but nothing dominant outside of Sixto.
Should be a good final couple weeks.
Ah, the ol' disappearing late September bats. If they ever appeared for some of our dudes this season in the first place.
We gonna blow the division against the Pale Hose? That'd be some shit
