Another series won, now lets get the Sweep tomorrow.
Also, we have the tie-breaker on the Phillies if it matters come Playoff Seedings time. The Phils will need to start playing a lot better though.

He added a sinker to his pitch mix, which he has thrown about 20% of the time so far this year. In '24 and '25 he was a 2 pitch guy with the 4-seamer and knuckle-curve. Having that 3rd reliable pitch makes him less predictable.
Can you imagine how good this team would look with a healthy Steele, Horton and Palencia? Still, this sure looks like a playoff team, and that's good enough for me in April.
With a 3-hit game, PCA has his average up to a much-more respectable 247. If PCA hits 250 with 25-ish HRs for a full season, he's a 5 WAR contributor thanks to his D and baserunning, I'll take that all day long, "worst hitter" or not. LOL.
I know it’s been brought up in here (rarely post in this thread, though I do lurk), but it’s worth mentioning again. The only division in baseball where every team is over .500. I know it’s early, very early, but still enough of a sample size for that to be an incredible statement.
Me at the start of the season: ****** Cubs
Me after last night's win: WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN!

Will have 2 of the 3 back at some point this season. Just how healthy and effective they can be is the bigger question.
It is amazing that with all the pitching injuries that have piled up how good the pitching still has been. Cubs are currently 4th in MLB for team ERA and WHIP, 6th in OBA, and an impressive 3rd for total walks
Wasn’t exactly a good three hits but we’ll take it. Hopefully he’s turned a corner.
3rd hit was weak. Besides that, double to the wall in center and a 98 mph line drive to left center. Good enough for me.
A shot to the base of the wall in center with the wind blowing in isn't a "good hit"?
He’s still pulling off of pitches. Sometimes the ball finds the bat. Dave Kingman hit 40+ dingers hitting around .200 with a ton of strikeouts. PCA hits a lot of pop ups to swallow left. He trying to pull everything thus pulling off pitches over the heart of the plate.
