While it would be great for the win streak to reach double figures, losing one game in the series to a top 5 pitcher, would not be a disaster. This was the game most Cubs fans saw as the greatest challenge. The Cubs are a team who's top hitters (except for Bryant and perhaps Russell these days) are primarily left handed. Rizzo hits lefties real well, but I have to think Sale will be tough on the boys. With Haren facing Sale, it's unlikely a sweep will be completed. But with a series victory already assured, they are playing with house money.
Top 5 pitcher???
his stat sheet isn't much better than Dan Haren.They flashed the stats for both during the game. I was shocked how close they are.
Yes, Sale has had some lousy outings in the past few weeks. but I suspect he may have a stellar outing tomorrow. Yes, I consider Sale a top 5 starter and if he returns to the form we saw from him the 6 weeks prior to the All-Star break, the Cubs will be hard pressed to scratch out any runs. I hope he continues to struggle, but I don't count on that happening.
You know how some guys say "I hate to say I told you so"? ......I don't have issue with that.
