Wow what an amazing run we are on with the starting pitching or what? Q goes 7 and only gives up a run, fantastic! And the bullpen only gave up a run, even better!
Baez is killing it on offense and Bryant (at least) is making plays on defense.
There were a few interesting articles that popped up after this game about where Russell fits into this team.

First of all, he doesn't, he should've been cut last year and there should even BE a conversation about him. Aside from his limited trade bait value (keep him in AAA until someone bites), if Theo is actually thinking about replacing Descalso or Bote with this chump then I throw my hands up in frustration. If there is just the keep-him-to-trade-him machinations then fine but he shouldn't be around the Big League club at all.
The Cubs, always giving you a bit of clouds in the silver lining.
Still though, the team is officially over .500 and only a few back of the Cardinals. The Brew Crew's run differential has caught up to them and despite Yelich have fallen way off. If the Cubs keep trotting out lefties and beating up on the Dodgers, they could be in great shape for this weekend!
