I figured they would have replaced Lackey this past off season -- Russell should be sent to AAA to find his bat -- maybe Schwarber too, if they dont want trade him
Well, they look like a different team right now. 5 in a row. Hell, they may be like those 90s Yankees teams and can turn it on when they need or have to. Quintana looks like a good pick-up and for the 5th year in a row, they brought up another stud hitter in Happ
They're probably the best team in the NL since the break. If Kershaw doesn't get right in time, and or pitches like human Kershaw in the playoffs, Cubs could win the pennant. I wouldn't be surprised at all.
