Whoever said Dallas Kuechel, I agree. Call me crazy, but we need to scour the minors for bullpen guys. Not that Dallas is a reliever, but in the playoffs (and they are making the playoffs) we need cannon armed kids to blow hitters away.

Glad its not a day game, they must be exhausted
We may never lose again.
Cubs are currently 100-1 to win the World Series on Draft Kings... Just sayin!
These beatdown are great, but lose tomorrow and we've gained no ground. Must win this next game with the Braves coming to town this weekend.
Caleb Killian and Jordan Wicks couldn’t be any worse than Drew Smyly.
Yeah, there are quite a few scenarios, actually, where a guy can opt out of a deal if he’s not on the ML roster.

BTW - Smyly has an ERA just about the same as Kopech and Cease, the two guys that your genius GM self would have in the cubs rotation.
Hmm. Now this article from the Chicago Trib is mentioning the $25m mutual option as well. Not a big deal as it will be declined either way; just curious on the actual option.
Cody Bellinger’s ‘impressive’ MVP-level season is helping fuel the Chicago Cubs’ sudden surge in the NL Central
Cody Bellinger couldn’t help but notice how quickly the damage he created was fixed. Within 30 minutes, he noted with a grin, the blackened-out panels on the right-field video board at Wrigley Field from his second-inning home run Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds had been fixed...

That’s so weird. Until this thread in the last couple days i don’t think I had seen literally anything on the mutual option being $25M at all since he signed. At this point, he’d opt out either way, but when he missed a month with that leg injury and his numbers were ok, but not great, a $25M option would have been very much potentially in play….but the more widely reported $12.5M wouldn’t. Megan Montemurro is typically pretty reliable, too.Hmm. Now this article from the Chicago Trib is mentioning the $25m mutual option as well. Not a big deal as it will be declined either way; just curious on the actual option.

Before Candelario, I just want to know the last time a major leaguer got four hits in each of his first two games with his new team after being traded. I wonder if it’s the first time ever…
The Reds needed starting pitching help, and didn't go out and get any notable pitchers, also.
I heard that Greene is due back in about 3 weeks and Lodolo is due back about a week later. They could be really hurting by that time, though.
Close, it's actually 1897 when they were still the Chicago Colts. Pre-Orphans and post-White Stockings era.
Yeah, David Bell.
That's a rookie umpire behind the plate making his ML debut I believe. His strike zone has been a lot more consistent that some we have seen lately.
Why did they send Madrigal there??????
It's been a better strike zone than two of the games in this series, and the send was moronic. Forget that ELDC was the relay man, you have no outs. Hold the runner and you have 2nd and 3rd with no outs.
No, Harris was waving him on. He's aggressive. He's no Wavin' Wendall Kim, but he's close.

I'm so glad Kopech is a Cub per your prediction.
Stick tot he porn. You're good at that.
Is it just me or does it seem like the ball is jumping off the bats by both teams this series. What appears to be a lazy pop fly ends up on the warning track and line drives bouncing off the ivy
We may never lose again.
