The Braves and Orioles both had better records than the Cardinals did, going into each series.

Cardinals can't hurt you offensively. First one to 2 wins each game.

Yeah, no doubt about that. This is certainly the opposite. Those teams score runs, and the Cubs got to miss the Braves' best pitcher. I still think Dexter Fowler is a double agent.

I always think of Carlos Martinez as a Cubs killer, but I guess his ERA against the Cubs is over 4.00.

Looks like he is splitting up lefty/righty as a reason to keep Zobrist out of the lead off spot.

Even when Jake looks good ( and he does today) its still 40 plus pitches through 2 innings and a run.

Missing out on good offensive opportunities was a hallmark of their first half.

Bunting with your hottest hitter is a GREAT move. Fuck Maddon.
