Cubs 6, Rockies 0

In Postgame by berselius25 Comments

OSS: Cubs cruise to the easy win we’ve been waiting to see.

Three+ up:

  1. Jameson Taillon (?!) had a solid start, striking out seven and shutting out the Rockies for six innings. There were a few walks in there but more importantly, few meatballs.
  2. Seiya Suzuki continued his hot second half of the season, going 3-4 with a homer, three RsBI, and two runs scored. In the second half of the season, he has a .298/.356/.556 slash line, good for a .380 wOBA and a 141 wRC+.
  3. Jared Young proved Ross’s faith in him today, I guess, by hitting a booming two run homer in the sixth to give the bullpen some much needed insurance runs.
  4. The Marlins were blown out by the Beers, so the Cubs are back in the lead for the last playoff spot
  5. Jeimer Candelario may be back very soon

Three down:

1. Still lots of head scratching over PCA and Canario not getting starts, but I guess it worked out today.
2-9: Pretty much all of the last week, oy.

Next up: The Cubs, now in sole posession of the last wild card spot, will ‘start’ Marcus Stroman against 90s JRPG NPC Chris Flexen at 1:20 PM CT.
