BCB After Dark: Who’s first on first?
Share this story
Welcome back to
fans abroad. Glad to see you again this week. Bring your own beverage. Be sure to tip the waitstaff.
BCB After Dark is the place for you to talk baseball, music, movies, or anything else you need to get off your chest, as long as it is within the rules of the site. The late-nighters are encouraged to get the party started, but everyone else is invited to join in as you wake up the next morning and into the afternoon.
The Cubs played a day game today and won 7-2 over the team with the best record in the National League coming into the game. (The Padres loss combined with the Giants win puts the Giants on top of the best-record chase.) They did it with a starting pitcher, Kohl Stewart, they rescued from the scrap heap and who was making his first major league start of the year in an emergency after Trevor Williams’ appendectomy. The Cardinals loss to the Dodgers moved the Cubs into first place in the NL Central. I think it may be time to start taking this team seriously.
